ASUS ROG Strix G18

Play with confidence thanks to Windows 11 and the raw power of the 2024 Strix G18. Powered by an Intel Core i9 14900HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 laptop GPU with a maximum TGP of 175 W with Dynamic Boost, you are ready to dominate the competition in all current games. Equipped with a dedicated MUX switch and Nvidia Advanced Optimus, the Strix G18 unlocks the true potential of its hardware. With PCIe Gen4x4 SSD storage and 32 GB of DDR5 RAM at 5600 MHz, managing large game libraries and intensive multitasking sessions is a breeze for this gaming machine.

To accommodate such powerful components, both the chassis and the motherboard of the Strix G18 have been designed to house ASUS's high-performance heatsinks across the entire width, with fins positioned closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. The full-width heatsink consists of three different sections and surrounds the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 195,509 mm², a 92% increase compared to the Strix G17 2022. This design maximizes the available pathway for hot air to escape from the machine and drastically increases overall airflow. Finally, while most gaming laptops feature a cooling system with two fans, the G18 has pushed the performance limit further by introducing a third fan that helps keep the GPU and VRAM cool. Combined with seven heat pipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU, the cooling system of the G18 is a marvel of engineering.
