Personalize illumination across your entire suite of compatible Aura Sync peripherals, and set the right mood for focusing your competitive mindset.

Super-narrow Bezels

Super-narrow bezels frame the edges of the display, allowing us to fit a larger screen into a more compact footprint than typical laptops in this class. The bezels practically disappear, immersing you fully in the action without distraction. With a screen-to-body ratio of up to 81.5%, you get an expansive view of games, streams, movies, and more.

Easy-upgrade Design

An easy-upgrade design simplifies system memory and storage upgrades. Unscrewing the innovative pop-open screw pushes the bottom of the chassis away from the body. The hooks holding those edges together are smaller and stronger than before, with a looser fit that makes it easier to lift off the panel and get under the hood. All of your SO-DIMM and SSD slots are readily accessible beneath the bottom panel, making modifications easy.

Scissor-door Hinges

Inspired by gullwing doors, the silky scissor-door hinges effortlessly emerge when the lid is lifted and discreetly disappear back into the chassis when shut. This hidden hinge design keeps a low profile and opens up additional space for venting and cooling around the heatsinks at the back. The concealed hinges are also better protected from cracks that can affect exposed alternatives.

Liquid Metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly lowers CPU temperatures as much as 12°C compared to standard thermal paste. The right amount must be applied meticulously for the best results, so we commissioned custom equipment that automates the process across our entire lineup of 10th gen Intel® Core laptops with mechanical precision. The block that sits on the CPU also has a patented internal fence that prevents liquid metal from leaking out over time.

3D Flow Zone

Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling, so the hinges are shifted forward to leave more room at the back for a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone that lets the Strix G inhale more effectively. Perforated ridges race across the rear to facilitate extra flow that helps reduce component temperatures. A patented, trapezoidal cut carves out the bottom of the screen, ensuring nothing obstructs the venting below, while giving the Strix G its signature, asymmetric appearance.

Dual N-Blade Fans

The dual n-Blade fans are designed for maximum airflow. Carefully shaped intake shrouds use curved edges and raised guides to help the fans draw in more air. Once inside, it’s blasted toward the heatsinks by liquid-crystal-polymer blades that are 33% thinner than conventional designs yet still strong enough to spin at high RPMs. The Strix G matches our highest blade density with 83 per fan, improving airflow by up to 15%.

Coolzone Keyboard

Extended gaming sessions warm up internal components and can cause the keyboard above to become uncomfortable to touch over time. To keep your fingers cool, the Strix G is strategically vented around the WASD keys to allow airflow from the fan below, improving comfort for longer gaming marathons by reducing the surface temperature by 2° Celsius compared to the previous generation.

Self-cleaning Cooling System

Keeping the heatsinks free of debris is critical to maintaining optimal thermal dissipation, so our engineers designed a special anti-dust tunnel that catches and channels particles outside the chassis to prevent them from collecting on the fins. This self-cleaning system helps ensure consistent cooling performance over time, which improves long-term stability and overall reliability.

More Ultrathin Fins

Thermal energy is dissipated by heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins that are twice as thick. Depending on the CPU and GPU, there are up to 189 heatsink fins totaling 102,500mm2 of surface area, increasing heat dissipation by up to 10.4%, while reducing air resistance by 8.2%.

Heat Spreader for Even Cooling

The unique heat-pipe design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the GPU and CPU and redistributes it to minimize thermal throttling. The heat spreader stretches across up to 5 heat-pipes, allowing it to efficiently keep chipset power components below 85° Celsius. This consistent heat management helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of your system.

The Right Mode for the Moment

Gaming laptops are versatile enough to tackle a range of tasks, but requirements vary wildly, so Intelligent Cooling adapts accordingly. It automatically switches between operating modes that optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Performance mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment.

They’re positioned on the upper left side, so you can access them instantly without tabbing out or taking your right hand off the mouse. Switch on your mic to strategize with your team or turn up the volume to hear every enemy movement in your vicinity without losing focus on the game.

MORE ACTIONS PER MINUTE

With exclusive ROG Overstroke technology, keypresses are registered earlier in the stroke, enabling a more responsive typing experience for serious gaming and work. Early key actuation means faster, effortless input that can improve your accuracy over time, while the longer post-actuation travel distance allows for smoother control and comfort. Increase your actions per minute with a keyboard calibrated for precision gaming.

PRECISE UNDER PRESSURE

Play more precisely in the heat of battle with full N-Key rollover and anti-ghosting technology. Together, they ensure that every keypress is properly detected and registered, regardless of how many commands are being entered at once. Shortcuts, functions, and other inputs that require simultaneous presses can be executed more accurately at any speed. Game with more confidence and enjoy a competitive edge when rapid response matters.
