possible and allows you to overclock the components to extreme values. To
produce Aeroblade fan located next to the graphics card, used by the world's
thinnest metal blade (0.1 mm), which mimic the behavior of the wing of an
airplane. This increases the speed of rotation, resistance and noise. Using the
"evaporation chambers," which are often used in server solutions for
high performance and efficient cooling and helps dissipate heat and allows more
components to disperse. The Predator 17X also used DustDefender CoolBoost and
technology, thanks to which the fans are automatically turned in the opposite
direction, which helps to remove accumulated dust and better heat dissipation.
