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.

小编在试玩了这台ROG Strix GL12CX后，唯一的感想就是“爽”！小编在各种游戏过程中完全遇不到掉帧或者画面不美的情况发生，唯一偶尔会遇到的问题是当处理器在进行压力测试还有高强度游戏的时候温度会飙升，但是散热方面并不是问题，而是机箱内的风扇发出的声音会稍微的大声，但是只要带上耳机就不会有任何使用上的问题。
