You have what it takes to be the best on the battlefield, but are you ready to design the next one?

Groundbreaking cooling
To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix G18's chassis and motherboard were both designed to accommodate our new full-width heatsink, whose fins were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. The full-width heatsink is built from three different sections, surrounding the motherboard with densely-packed fins for a total surface area of 187,156 sq. mm. This design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall airflow.

Finally, most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system, but the G18 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 high-efficiency heatpipes, the G18's cooling system is a marvel of engineering.

Full-Surround Vents
Hot air needs somewhere to go, so we redesigned the G18's exhaust vents to give it the best flow possible. In addition to making the entire rear of the machine an exhaust vent, the G18 retains its side vents, giving it ample opportunity to move hot air out of the system. The chassis itself was also moved even closer to the heatsinks, giving hot air a straight-line path out of the machine and avoid any recirculation.

Full-Width Heatsink
The Strix G18 features 374 heatsink fins, with each stack lined with ultra-thin copper as slim as 0.1mm. This allows for higher density and lower air resistance, providing a total surface area of 174,183 sq. mm. This full-width design is double the size of a typical laptop 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.

Up to 7 Comprehensive Heatpipes
The Strix G18'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 26% 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
The ROG Strix G18 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.

ultra-thin fins
Thermal energy is dissipated by three heatsinks, each lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.12mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, allowing for higher density and increased heat dissipation, as well as lower air resistance to allow for smoother flow. With up to 412 heatsink fins totaling 187,156 sq. mm 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.

See clearly
You can't beat the enemy if you don't see them coming. The Strix G18 has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you'll never miss a moment. One of the offerings is our gorgeous ROG Nebula display. A IPS-level 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage and 3ms response times, this panel has pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights. We added an ACR layer to reduce reflections and enhance contrast. Each option offers fantastic color, Dolby Vision, Adaptive-Sync support, and a 90% screen-to-body ratio for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.

ACR Technology
This year, we even added two layers of Ambient Contrast Ratio film to the display, which reduces reflections by 55% and provides up to 4.5x better contrast, ensuring the mage stays punchy, vivid, and accurate. A second layer boosts viewing angles for a 180 Degree ultra-clear view, providing an image that looks just as good off-center as t does straight on. This machine doesn't just perform at a high level - it draws you into the visuals, with colors so realistic it's as if you were right in the middle of the action.

Dolby Vision Technology
Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you richer, brighter, and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.

Pantone Color Validation
Each IPS-level display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors are accurate to the Pantone palette.
