Noise

You can see an example of our noise testing result in the video review.

The acoustic levels at full – 5000+ RPM – fan speeds are very high indeed. But thankfully, the levels are more sensible when managed by the Gamer or Creator profile curves.

Plus, there is manual fan speed curve adjustment capability within Gigabyte Control Center.

SSD

The Gigabyte Aorus Gen 4 7000s 1TB PCIe Gen 4×4 NVMe SSD performs well in our speed testing. With the drive reasonably full, write speeds above 5GBps are good to see.

Thermal performance from the SSD and cooling system was fine, too. We noted a drive temperature of 64C after nine back-to-back runs of a write-heavy workload.

Battery

Battery life is excellent from the Aorus 17H with its 99 Whr battery. We recorded a result of almost 7 hours battery life according to the PCMark 10 Modern Office test.

That’s a pretty legit result that translates well into a solid work day of usage. Not that this is necessarily the type of laptop you’ll be using away from a power source for hours on end.
