ROG Intelligent Cooling
Go To Top
Seriously Cool. Surprisingly Quiet.
ROG uses a strategic mix of hardware and features to achieve ideal cooling for each combination of components and chassis, while keeping noise levels low. Cutting-edge fan design and liquid metal work together with smart software to optimize your experience for work and play.
Keep your CPU cool
with liquid metal
Cooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to liquid metals, which are extremely effective at transferring thermal energy between surfaces like a processor die and heatsink. Over a year of testing with various processors, ROG engineers observed reductions in temperatures up to 10 degrees Celsius with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and prevent fans from ramping up and making noise.

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans™
move more air with less noise
Updated Arc Flow Fans feature curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. Laptop fan blades are typically the same thickness throughout, but our new design can get as thin as 0.1mm at the base before expanding toward the tip. Varying the thickness reduces turbulence as the fan blades accelerate air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.

Variable Blade Thickness
design reduces air collision
Our fans use blades of variable thickness and shape to reduce turbulence and maximize airflow efficiency. By changing from a high to low pressure area gradually before being expelled by the fan, the air turbulence is drastically reduced compared to traditional fan blade designs. This patented new design is made possible by the latest liquid-crystal-polymer processing technologies that allow us to create ultrathin, strong fan blades for increased air intake.

Without Variable Blade ThicknessMore air collision
Anti-Resonance design
reduces turbulence
Our new Arc Flow fans were inspired by the most aerodynamic designs found in nature. Each blade is capped with a tip to regulate airflow, the same way that a bird’s feathers are tipped to keep the bird balanced in flight. The blade caps use a wave pattern that is inspired by the variegated wingtips of a bird; guiding the flow of air around the fan while minimizing turbulence for maximum efficiency.

0dB Technology
, Zero Distractions
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB 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.
Second generation Anti-Dust
Tunnels eject debris
Our upgraded thermal module design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave up to 5% more space around the fan, improving airflow by up to 15%. Preventing the buildup of dust ensures the long-term stability and reliability of your system.

Open up the vents with AAS Plus
Active Aerodynamic System Plus (AAS Plus) pushes the AAS concept further on select models, opening a massive 28.5mm air intake behind the tilted secondary display that increases airflow by up to 30%. Instead of drawing in air from below the laptop, where components can warm incoming air, this top-facing vent draws cooler air from above. The larger space also helps keep noise levels below 43dB in performance mode, enabling a quieter gaming experience.

Vapor Chambers
dissipate heat faster
Compared to conventional heat pipes that only transfer heat along their axis, vapor chamber designs spread heat across their entire surface, creating a wider area for heat dissipation to rapidly lower temperatures in small spaces. Our design also uses a rectangular thermal plate to draw heat away from not only the CPU and GPU, but also the power regulation circuitry. Reducing the temperature of these power components helps improve long-term stability and reliability.
* Exclusive on the ROG Strix G15 Advantage Edition.
Up to 6 comprehensive heatpipes
got you covered
Our comprehensive solution uses up to six heatpipes and quad heatsinks for efficient dissipation across all internal components. More heatpipes means more efficient heat transfer, and unlike simpler designs which only cover the CPU and GPU, this layout also draws heat away from the video RAM and voltage regulation modules for better system stability.

for the win
Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks, each lined with ultrathin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, allowing for higher density for heat dissipation and lower air resistance to allow for smoother flow. There are up to 252 heatsink fins totaling 110,328mm² of surface area.

Scenario Profiles
give you the right cooling at the right time
Our Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between them based on the application you're running, alongside other vital system settings. Switch between lighting configurations automatically, disable the Windows key and touchpad during games, and automate to your heart's content. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand.
