Gigabyte has quietly released its latest AORUS Gaming Box 2021 model, which comes powered by Nvidia's recently launched GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 12GB graphics card. In fact, the variant in question here is a water-cooled WATERFORCE model. For those who don't know, the AORUS Gaming Box is an external GPU solution.

I agree mixed metals is a poor idea. Unless they mean it is aluminium finned, but with copper internals. However I doubt it.
