At the IFA 2025 conference in Berlin, Acer unveiled its flagship desktop PC – the Acer Predator Orion 7000. This is a significant upgrade over previous versions of this well-known model, which have been around since 2021. The latest generation comes with Intel Core Ultra processors, NVIDIA RTX 5000 series graphics, and a host of technological enhancements that take both gaming and work performance to a whole new level.
If you’ve only known the Orion 7000 as a premium gaming desktop, get ready for a new chapter. This desktop is not just a successor, but a full-fledged evolution that reflects current trends in gaming, artificial intelligence and multimedia creation.
ACER Predator Orion 7000 design and cooling
The Acer Predator Orion 7000 retains its aggressive, gaming-tuned look, but this time it looks even more modern. The case is solid, sturdy, and features a tempered glass side panel through which you can see the internal components. The Predator RGB lighting is fully customizable and combined with the transparent panel creates an effect that will please any gamer or tech enthusiast.
The front panel offers a wide range of connectors, including USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, which you’ll appreciate when quickly connecting peripherals. The back of the case includes additional USB ports, outputs for multiple monitors, and modern network connectivity via Wi-Fi 7 or 2.5 Gb Ethernet.
Components as powerful as those in the Acer Predator Orion 7000 require top-notch cooling, especially graphics card cooling. Acer has therefore used the Predator CycloneX 360 system, which combines 360 mm liquid cooling of the CPU and several high-speed fans with RGB backlighting.
The cooling is designed to maintain stable temperatures even during long gaming marathons or rendering 4K and 8K videos. Optimized airflow in the case minimizes noise while maximizing efficiency. For gamers, this means stable performance without the worry of overheating.
