POWERFUL 8-CORE CPU

Even demanding games and programs run like silk with the latest 10th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-10875H CPU. The new 8-core processor reaches speeds up to 5.1GHz with Turbo Boost 3.0 technology, while Hyper-Threading enables up to 16 parallel threads to accelerate heavy multitasking. Multimedia professionals can work on intensive projects, like video editing and 3D rendering, faster and more efficiently; and gamers can play, chat with teammates, and live-stream the action all at the same time.

TURING-POWERED GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY

Based on revolutionary Turing™ Architecture, the NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 2080 SUPER™ enables a new level of in-game realism. With its blend of CUDA, RT, and Tensor cores, the GPU combines programmable shading, real-time ray tracing, and A.I. to create an immersive visual experience with lifelike lighting, reflections, and shadows. Clocking up to 1330MHz at 90W in Turbo mode with ROG Boost, this GPU delivers remarkably smooth performance for even the most graphically demanding titles.

HIGH-SPEED HYPERDRIVE STORAGE

Games, applications, and large files load at warp speed on the NVM Express® (NVMe®) SSD. ROG HyperDrive storage uses up to four PCI Express® (PCIe®) lanes to achieve amazing throughput. Up to 1TB of storage leaves loads of space to install larger content creation applications and all the games you might want to play, with plenty of room left for your professional portfolio.

DUAL-CHANNEL DDR4 MEMORY

With up to 48GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory support at its disposal, no multitasking challenge is too great for this powerhouse to handle. The RAM is clocked at 3200MHz, offering a 33% performance increase over DDR4-2400. Gamers and content creators can stream, chat, and play at the same time, while power users can run every program they need for maximum productivity.

ROG carefully chooses advanced components to ensure system stability and performance. To deliver the best experience, we use DDR4-3200 memory running at 1.2V. Reaching that speed with third-party modules is not guaranteed. Please contact your local ASUS support center for more details on memory upgrade options.

Productivity

Create Everywhere

ULTRAFAST. ULTRA VERSATILE.

The USB Type-C with Thunderbolt™ 3 support gives creators, gamers, and power users flexibility to expand their workstations anywhere. Connect multiple displays for more efficient multitasking, add on high-speed storage for lightning fast multimedia editing and transfers, or plug your set-up into a more powerful battlestation to reach new levels of pro performance. With a peak interface bandwidth of up to 40Gbps, 4x the throughput of USB 3.1, you can output media to UHD TVs, monitors, and more at up to 8K resolution.

STAY CONNECTED AT WARP SPEED

Ultrafast Intel® Wi-Fi 6 with Gig+ (802.11ax) lets you game reliably at LAN speeds wherever compatible connections are available. Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) boosts network speed and efficiency, providing a better connection in crowded spaces and reducing latency for network-sensitive activities. ROG RangeBoost technology makes your Wi-Fi signal even more reliable no matter where you are. The RangeBoost algorithm evaluates the signal of four internal antennas and picks the best pair to use in any given environment, increasing your coverage by up to 30%. Work and play on Wi-Fi and enjoy the strongest possible signal anywhere.

AAS BREATHES DEEPER

Slim chassis leave limited space for airflow, which can compromise performance for marathon gaming sessions, so our innovative Active Aerodynamic System opens a 5mm vent that helps increase airflow by 22%. Dual 12V fans draw cool air in from the expanding intake in the base and from vents perforating the panel above the keyboard. Exhaust is pumped through four outlets in the edges of the chassis, each one shaped to separate warm outflow from the layer of cool air flowing into the AAS.

LIQUID METAL KEEPS CPUS COOLER

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 10°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 with mechanical precision. The block that sits on the CPU also has a special internal fence that prevents liquid metal from leaking out over time.

*Unless otherwise stated, figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual figures may vary in real-world situations.

COMPREHENSIVE COOLING COVERAGE

Six heatpipes snake beneath the surface to pull heat away from not only the CPU, GPU and VRM, but also the circuitry supplying them with power. This design keeps the VRM under 80°C, which helps improve long-term reliability. The CPU and GPU connect to both shared and dedicated heatsinks to ensure efficient cooling for any workload.

MORE ULTRA-THIN FINS

Thermal energy is dissipated by four 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. Airflow is strongest on the far side of the heatsink. The fins on the other side capture air at a lower angle, so they alternate in length and use special chamfers to reduce turbulence and improve heat exchange. In total, there are 220 heatsink fins that create 111,700mm2 of surface area, and the ones on the sides are angled slightly toward the back to direct warm air away from your mousing hand.

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, which improves long-term stability and reliability.

MORE BLADES INCREASE AIRFLOW

Slim chassis leave little room for cooling, so we enhance every aspect of the n-Blade fans to maximize airflow. The carefully shaped aluminum 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 Zephyrus S17 matches our highest blade density with 83 per fan, improving airflow by up to 15%.

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.
