Improves Your Experience

Every powerful laptop needs an equally powerful cooling solution. The Zephyrus G16 features cutting-edge ROG Intelligent Cooling to make sure it’s always operating at peak performance. Featuring Thermal Grizzly’s liquid metal thermal compound, up to 6 heatpipes, targeted inward airflow, and 84-blade Arc Flow Fans, the G16 can handle even the most intensive gaming sessions with ease. This overbuilt cooling solution has another benefit during low power tasks -- truly silent operation with 0dB Ambient Cooling. The machine will passively dissipate heat, with the fans turning back on automatically as needed.

Silent By Design

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.

Keep Your CPU Cool With Liquid Metal

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 13°C compared to standard thermal paste. Applying it onto CPUs is delicate work, so ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision, and designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound.

Up to
13°C
Cooler

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans™ Move More Air With Less Noise

Our 84 blade Arc Flow fans vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. With 0dB Technology, the fans switch off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures drop below 50°C in the Silent operating mode for truly inaudible cooling under light workloads.

Second Generation Anti-Dust Tunnels Eject Debris

Keeping the heatsinks free of debris is critical to maintaining optimal thermal dissipation. Our latest anti-dust measures channel particles away from the fan blades, heatsink fins, and other cooling components to prevent build-up over time, increasing stability and reliability.

Up to 6 Comprehensive Heatpipes Have You Covered

6 heatpipes pull heat away from not only the CPU, GPU and VRAM, but also the VRM circuitry supplying them with power. Reducing the temperature of these components helps improve long-term stability and reliability.

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. 256 heatsink fins totaling 103,385.5mm² of surface area guide airflow in multiple directions and minimize interference from the ErgoLift design.

PORTABILITY

Always Ready For Action

Enjoy the power to work and play anywhere, thanks to a lightweight 2 kilogram chassis less than 20mm thick. The integrated webcam allows you to seamlessly join video calls and unlock your machine with Windows Hello. A high-capacity 90Wh battery means less time tethered to outlets and more time spent where you want to be. Type-C charging support extends its life even further, letting you top off with portable power packs to stay productive anywhere. Integrated superfast Wi-Fi 6E enables lower latency connections everywhere, from packed lecture halls to crowded coffee shops.

*Fast Charging Technology is tested while the device is powered off with the default adapter included with the device. Charging time may vary +/- 10% due to System tolerance.
