COOLING
![ROG INTELLIGENT COOLING logo](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/cooling/rog-intelligent-cooling.png)
To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix SCAR 18’s chassis and motherboard were both redesigned to accommodate our new full-width heatsink, while the copper fins were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. This unique heatsink is built from three different sections, surrounding the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 195,509mm², a 82.5% increase from the 2022 Strix SCAR 17. This design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall cooling.
Finally, most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system, but the SCAR 18 was able to push the performance envelope even further with the introduction of a third fan that helps keep the GPU and VRAM cool. Paired with seven heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU, the SCAR 18’s cooling system is a marvel of engineering.

Full-Surround Vents
Hot air needs somewhere to go, so we redesigned the SCAR 18’s exhaust vents to give it the best flow possible. In addition to making the entire rear of the machine an exhaust vent, the SCAR 18 retains its side vents, giving it ample opportunity to move hot air out of the system. We even moved the heatsinks closer to the vents themselves, giving hot air a straight-line path out of the machine and avoid any recirculation.
Full-Width Heatsink
The SCAR 18 features 414 heatsink fins, with each stack lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. This allows for higher density and lower air resistance, with a total of 195,509mm² of surface area, an increase of 82.5% from the 2022 SCAR 17. This all-copper construction continues to the new full-width design, which is double the size of a normal heatsink and covers the entire rear of the machine.
Tri-Fan Technology
At the heart of every great laptop is a great cooling solution. Our new 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 also helps to send additional heat from the GPU directly to the heatsinks, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.
Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal
Starting in 2022, select ROG models featured Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme, which improves liquid metal's heat transfer even further. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, this indium- and gallium-based compound offers 17X higher conductivity, in addition to CPU and GPU temperature reductions of up to 15 degrees. Used exclusively by ROG, this material offers the highest thermal transfer available on a laptop.
*Temperature improvements compared to the previous gen thermal compound, as tested internally by ASUS. Thermal conductivity compared to industry standard.Up to 7 comprehensive heatpipes
The Strix SCAR 18’s comprehensive thermal design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM. With 7 heatpipes and an increase in total coverage from 29% to 33% of the motherboard compared to last generation, this extensive thermal solution helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of the system.
0dB Ambient Cooling
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.
Dust Filter
First introduced on the Zephyrus G14, the ROG Strix SCAR 18 features a dust filter on its intake vents. Dust and fibers can collect inside the machine, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter 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.0.1mm ultra thin fin
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. With up to 414 heatsink fins totaling 195,509mm² of surface area, heat flows out of the system incredibly efficiently, letting your components boost higher, for longer.
CoolZone keyboard
Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make the keyboard warm to the touch. To keep your fingers cool, small vents around the WASD keys let the fans draw cool air into the chassis from above.
Scenario Profiles
Our Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between these modes 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.

When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing. RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power delivery, and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped off at all times.
Performance Modes
![The interface showing where users can adjust the system manually.](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/software/ui-performance-mode.jpg)
More than just simple fan curves, Armoury Crate’s performance modes serve to transform your machine from a silent, power sipping web browser to a full gaming battlestation with maximum horsepower. And for those that require even more granular control, Manual mode removes all limiters and lets you make a custom profile that suits your exact needs. For more information on Performance Modes, check out our full guide here.
Macro Keys
![The user interface showing where users can customize the function of hotkeys.](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/software/ui-macro-key.jpg)
Armoury Crate also supports full customization of the dedicated hotkeys. By default they act as volume control, microphone mute and a quick launch for Armoury Crate, but with a few adjustments you can make them work for you. Create a function key for quick toggle when needed, a macro for complicated button combinations, or even a quick launch button for the application of your choice. Make your machine uniquely yours.
Game Visual
![The user interface showing where users can choose from custom tuned graphics presets.](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/software/ui-game-visual.jpg)
ROG GameVisual software offers six expertly tuned graphic modes designed to optimize your visual experience for specific game genres. First Person Shooter (FPS) mode, for example, enhances visibility in dark environments, allowing you to get the drop on any enemies lurking in the shadows. Use GameVisual to get the best experience for every game in your library.
Aura Creator
![The user interface showing where users can adjust and sync all their ROG Aura Sync devices.](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/software/ui-aura-creator.jpg)
Customize the RGB lighting on Aura-compatible peripherals to suit your gaming style. Aura Core’s easy-to-use control panel allows you to alter a brilliant spectrum of lighting effects and colors, in addition to swapping preset lighting modes, you can also activate Aura Sync to match colors and effects across multiple devices.
Aura Wallpaper
![The user interface showing where users can download and apply Aura wallpapers.](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/software/ui-aura-wallpapers.jpg)
This brand new feature in Armoury Crate 5.0 allows you to synchronize an animated desktop wallpaper with your laptop's RGB lighting. Choose between multiple ROG-themed wallpapers and RGB effects to give your rig a completely unified look. Additional wallpapers can be downloaded directly from Armoury Crate, and the application can easily be controlled from the Windows system tray.
Scenario Profiles
![The user interface showing where users can define their own preferences for different scenarios.](https://dlcdnwebimgs.asus.com/files/media/9CF8D994-6912-4448-A49A-82E3C7CF05D7/v1/img/software/ui-scenario-profiles.jpg)
Automatic switching between Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes is just the beginning for Scenario Profiles. You can also define application-specific preferences for other vital system settings, like the lighting configuration, whether the Windows key or touchpad are enabled, and which GameFirst VI and Sonic Studio III profile to use. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand, and you can configure each profile exactly how you want.

CONTROL
Press the Attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the SCAR 18 has a professional esports grade keyboard designed to secure the win. Built to last, the Strix SCAR's keyboard switches are rated to last over 20 million presses, and n-key rollover guarantees your system will never miss command even if you’re pressing multiple keys at once. The SCAR has a full-sized keyboard, with dedicated media controls and dedicated hotkeys that are tuned for volume and Armoury Crate controls by default, but can be customized for different functions or macros. And with per key RGB and full Aura Sync customization, the SCAR will always have the looks to

Dedicated hotkeys
Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to the volume and mic mute controls, operating modes, and Armoury Crate. They are also fully customizable, and can be programmed to launch apps, set as a function key, or used as a macro. The Strix SCAR has all the tools you need for victory.

Exclusive ROG Overstroke technology registers keypresses earlier in the stroke, enabling a more responsive experience for serious gaming and work. Triggering earlier means faster, effortless inputs with greater accuracy.

DESIGN
Showstopping Design
The 2023 Strix SCAR 18 continues to embody the distinct style of ROG. With sharp chassis designs, unique RGB accents, and a distinct gaming vibe, a Strix laptop will always stand out from the crowd. New for 2023, the Strix SCAR features a rear glow RGB panel, which paired together with per-key RGB illumination on the keyboard and the light bar make the laptop a beacon of gaming power from any angle.

Look beyond the veil
Continuing to push the boundaries of material design, the Strix SCAR 18 features an unique ROG semi-transluscent keyboard deck since first introduced in 2020. The SCAR gives you a peek at the powerful internal components that make it a flagship gaming machine while once again trailblazing in the realm of design.
-
Don your armor
The Strix SCAR 18’s customizable Armor Caps are one of its signature design elements. Magnetically secured, these bundled caps allow you to make sure the SCAR 18 reflects your personality and can grow with you over time. You can also create your own unique 3D printed Armor Caps.
-
Laser-etched styling
The SCAR 18 needs a chassis that reflects its immense power. We introduced a brand-new Anti-Fingerprint coating in 2022, leaving the SCAR 18 looking darker than ever and clean at all times. By using a high-powered laser polish pass on the coating, ROG’s signature slash stands out proudly in contrast, making sure the laptop makes a bold statement wherever it goes.
-
Stun at every angle
Thoughtful details set this laptop apart from the competition. Our 360° design philosophy puts subtle but distinctive elements across every part of the machine. The dot matrix design splashed across the lid cuts down to meet cross-hatched vents beneath the base. An expansive rubberized grip holds the laptop firmly in place and makes it easier to carry. Typographic elements around the trim subtly show off your ROG pride.

ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2023) review. RTX 4090 for 180k hryvnias
Gaming laptop of the year! Although the year has just begun — ROG Strix SCAR 18
ROG STRIX SCAR 18 | RTX 4090, i9 13980HX, 18 inches
Some time ago we learned about the existence of the mobile RTX 4090 and now it has finally made it to the test in the SCAR 18 laptop from Asus together with the new Intel i9. Both are very interesting, but will it stand up to our assumptions?
WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA? He was right...
We've never had a laptop like this before! The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 delivers a supercharged Intel i9 processor, Nvidia RTX 4090 graphics and two SSDs in RAID 0 - all powered by a 330W power supply! Of course, we tested the laptop, benchmarked it - and here are the results!
With the year 2023, new powerful laptops are coming to the market that claim the throne of the best you can buy. And so we're extremely happy that this year Asus has sent us their hot new Asus Strix Scar 18 to test out as well. It's equipped with a new 13th generation Intel processor and GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, and if you're wondering just how powerful this machine is, you'll get your answer in our test.
You may own the best possible gaming laptop from last year. Maybe you own a PS5. Maybe you also own a solid newer gaming desktop.... I'll tell you right now that the ROG Strix 18, a laptop, is very likely far more powerful. ASUS has managed to masterfully curate the best and latest that Intel and NVIDIA have to offer, and the result is the most extreme I've ever seen.
