THERMAL

GameCool 8

Despite its sleeker form factor, the ROG Phone 8 houses a revolutionary precision thermal structure. GameCool 8 adopts our groundbreaking 360° SoC Cooling System Gen 2 design, resulting in a 22% improvement4 in thermal efficiency. And the latest AeroActive Cooler X is even more powerful for extra performance — up to another 20% of thermal efficiency!

THERMAL

Rapid-Cooling Conductor

ROG engineers have discovered the ultimate passive cooling solution. Our 360° SoC Cooling System Gen 2 — places a Rapid-Cooling Conductor precisely between the SoC and the metal near the back cover, so the heat is dissipated evenly from all the thermal layers. And when the AeroActive Cooler X is attached, the Rapid-Cooling Conductor ‘s location exactly matches the place where the thermoelectric cooling chip touches the phone, so the chipset is directly and efficiently cooled.
There is a ROG Phone 8 equipped with the AeroActive Cooler X in the upper right corner, and another AeroActive Cooler X laid down below.

AeroActive Cooler X

The latest AeroActive Cooler X is more compact yet more powerful. Compared to the previous model, it is smaller and lighter, but the thermoelectric cooling chip is 2.6x larger5 and the fan rotation speed is 1.1x faster5 for up to 1.3x better cooling performance5.
