Rebirth of a Gaming Beast
The newly re-engineered ROG Strix GL12CX further pushes the
limits of extreme gaming performance and features a striking,
unconventional design. This Windows 10 gaming desktop now
boasts the latest 9th Generation Intel® Core™
i9-9900K processor (factory overclocked up to a top speed of
5.1GHz) and NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 Ti
graphics for unrivaled gaming experiences. It features the
ROG-exclusive DIMM.2 module with support for dual SSDs that
can be configured in RAID, along with tool-free expansion bays
and an esports-ready hot-swap SSD tray for easy upgrades. A
transparent side panel and Aura Sync lighting effects let you
customize the colors of Strix GL12CX, inside and out.
Design
Defying convention
ROG Strix GL12CX draws inspiration from stealthy ninjas, with
an all-black chassis featuring sharp angles and slashes
evoking strikes of a katana on armor. Some of those slashes
serve as intake or exhaust vents, while others incorporate
Aura Sync LEDs for limitless customization and matching with
compatible peripherals.
CPU
Overclocked for formidable firepower
Only the very best processors are chosen to power ROG Strix
GL12CX. It features a new 9th Generation Intel Core i9-9900K
CPU that’s factory overclocked up to a top speed of 5.1GHz for
a serious performance boost. Strix GL12CX is great for gaming,
but it’s capable of so much more: multitask, play, stream, and
record your gaming sessions, with plenty more performance to
spare!

latest Intel Z390 chipset, and an ROG-exclusive DIMM.2 module
for two M.2 SSDs that are cooled by a dedicated heatsink.
Strix GL12CX gives you even greater storage flexibility — pair
the dual NVMe drives in a speedy RAID configuration, or use
one SSD as a system drive and one stick of Intel®
Optane™ memory to accelerate your HDD. NVMe® PCI
Express® (PCIe®) technology provides ROG
Strix GL12CX with superfast transfer speeds to reduce loading
times for apps and games. The M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD in Strix
GL12CX is significantly faster than standard SATA 3 SSDs and
HDDs.
