    Eliminate loading times

    No one likes to wait for loading screens. With PCIe Gen4x4, you’ll get into the game faster than ever before. Whether you’re loading a new mission, installing the latest game to your library, or working with large projects and file transfers, PCIe Gen4 has more than enough bandwidth to keep your machine running snappy.

Gaming power optimized

Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to cutting-edge GPUs. Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, Max-Q Technologies, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 140W on Strix G17. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from this cutting-edge silicon, ensuring you have the absolute best gaming experience. ​

With NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience—all without needing touch a single button. This automatic switching also preserves your machine's battery life, as it can dynamically transition between the high-power discrete GPU and the lower power integrated GPU. No matter what you’re doing, your machine will switch to the most optimized mode without you having to lift a finger.​

ROG INTELLIGENT COOLING

improves your experience

Top-tier gaming components generate heat, which can impact performance and noise levels. The Strix G17 utilizes ROG Intelligent Cooling™ to keep thermals under control. Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the CPU begins the process, lowering temperatures by up to 15° Celsius compared to traditional thermal pastes. Four exhaust vents make sure that the laptop can rid itself of excess heat as efficiently as possible. Software profiles customize the experience, with Silent Mode keeping noise levels quiet in lighter tasks, and performance mode unlocking the power of your laptop by increasing both graphics power limits and fan speeds. The Strix G17 is surprisingly quiet in any scenario, at just 35db in Silent mode, 40db in Performance mode, and 51db in Turbo mode. No matter what you’re doing, you can choose the ideal balance between power and acoustics.

#COOLING

Keep your CPU cool with Liquid Metal

The 2023 Strix G17 features Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal, which improves heat transfer from the CPU. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, this indium-gallium-based compound​ offers 17X higher conductivity, in addition to CPU 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.

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans™ move more air with less noise

Updated Arc Flow Fans™ feature 84 curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. Variable thickness blades reduce turbulence as the fan accelerates air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.
*Airflow improvements compared to the 71-blade ROG fan design, as tested internally by ASUS.

0.1mm ultra-thin fins for the win

Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin fins as slim as 0.1mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins. There are 247 heatsink fins totaling 93,354mm2 of surface area, specially shaped for the chassis to guide airflow in multiple directions.

Second generation Anti-Dust Tunnels eject debris

Our upgraded thermal module design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave 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.

3D Flow Zone gives access to fresh air

Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling. To amp up cool air intake for the Strix G17, its hinges are shifted forward in front of a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone. A trapezoidal cut carves out the bottom of the screen to ensure that the venting below is unobstructed, while giving the laptop its signature asymmetrical style.

CoolZone keyboard keeps you frosty

Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make those areas on the keyboard above 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.

0dB Ambient Cooling

Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Ambient Cooling. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during light 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.

Up to 5 comprehensive heatpipes have you covered

The comprehensive thermal design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM. It combines with up to 5 heat pipes that cover the same components. This extensive thermal coverage helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of the system.
