G-SYNC Technology
Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With NVIDIA® G-SYNC, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.

Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.
Pantone® Color Validation
Every display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors are accurate to the Pantone® palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.
100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage
While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut for more vibrant images, and with a Delta E of less than 1*, the Zephyrus G16’s display lets you experience films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be seen.
*Average tested result in MyASUS / Armoury Crate Splendid Display P3 and sRGB color gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.
\ Thermal
Cool, Calm, Collected
0db Ambient Cooling
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling technology. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
Heatsink
At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Despite its ultra-thin chassis, the Zephyrus G16 features a dual exhaust heatsink that helps to efficiently pass heat outside the machine for sustained performance. By placing these heatsinks closer to the chassis, heated air travels more efficiently out of the machine than ever before, reducing recirculation.
Vapor Chamber
Traditional laptops utilize a system of heatpipes to draw heat from the processor towards the heatsinks. But sometimes, a vapor chamber is more efficient. With much more surface contact, including on the VRM circuitry, the Zephyrus G16’s vapor chamber cools as much of the mainboard as possible before passing it off to the heatsinks. Limited space doesn’t need to limit your cooling potential.
Dust Filter
Dust and fibers can collect inside your laptop, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter over the G16’s air intakes helps keep dust out, allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for years of smooth and stable operation.
*Internal testing in a simulated dusty environment
Refined Intake & Exhaust Layout
The Zephyrus G16 pushes cooling performance to the next level with a re-engineered intake mesh featuring 16,724 precision-cut perforations that increase the ventilation area ratio by 50% while also improving structural rigidity. At the rear, a widened exhaust vent accelerates heat dissipation, keeping thermals in check during intense workloads. A redesigned footpad completes the system—its aerodynamic profile channels air out the back and to a second exhaust under the footpad, reinforcing stability while driving maximum cooling efficiency.
Airflow design
The airflow path inside the Zephyrus G16 has been tweaked to encourage more active airflow inside the machine and keep critical components cool, allowing it to reach a high TGP in an incredibly thin-and-light chassis.

Tri-Fan Technology
Our Tri-Fan Technology directs air though precisely calculated cutouts in the chassis, sending airflow directly towards internal components to keep them cool in all conditions. A third auxiliary fan sends additional heat from CPU & GPU directly to the system exhaust, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.
Heatpipe
Heatpipes are critically important to a laptop’s cooling system, especially in a thin-and-light form factor like the G16. The Zephyrus G16’s four fiber and mesh heatpipes provide coverage of 31% of the total thermal system coverage, supporting efficient cooling across the machine.
