To the limit
As a Strix machine, the G18 was designed from the ground up to push the limits of gaming performance. That means that we've engineered a thermal solution that gives the system room to breathe, and overclock, to its maximum potential. In Turbo mode, the G18 can reach a maximum system wattage of 230W, but when fully unlocked in Manual mode, 255W of total system power is yours to command.
Dominant force
High-performance gaming machines need high-performance processors, and up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX absolutely delivers. With 24 cores and 24 threads, this gaming and multi-tasking beast can draw up to 80W when needed, ensuring that your games always stay buttery smooth.
24 Cores: 16 E-cores + 8 P-cores
24 Threads
Up to 80W TDP
Up to 5.4 GHz Max Turbo Frequency
Next-gen graphics
Stix G18 boasts up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, ensuring that you'll get incredible framerates and visuals in all the latest games. With NVIDIA Advanced Optimus that can intelligently switch between battery-saving and high-performance modes when you need it, and 175W max TGP with Dynamic Boost, the Strix G18 is a true next-gen gaming laptop.

NVIDIA Advanced Optimus
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 by 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.

Your Ultimate Pit Stop
We've completely redesigned the 2025 Strix G18 to make upgrades easier than ever. This tool-less design allows for simple access to both the RAM, SSD, and fans, and we've also brought our latest Q-latch system here for those SSD slots. Like an experienced pit crew, you can remove and replace your SSD and RAM in seconds, having the machine back up and running without missing a lap. A specially designed frame covers the rest of the mainboard to protect the other components, but can easily be removed with a few screws for users who want to tinker further.
Q-Latch System
M.2 SSDs are incredibly small and versatile, but the traditional mounting system involves tiny standoffs and screws that can be difficult to manipulate. ROG solved this problem with Q-Latch, a system that first debuted on our award-winning desktop motherboards. Q-Latch uses a simple, tool-less plastic hinge to securely retain your M.2 SSDs, no screwdriver required.
Storage Upgrade
Take on even the largest projects with confidence thanks to ultra-fast PCIe Gen 4 storage. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s and a graphite sheet for efficient cooling, massive files and detailed game worlds will load in the blink of an eye. Both SSD slots feature our incredibly simple and tool-less Q-latch system, no standoffs or tiny screws required. For those looking to leverage even faster storage speeds, both SSD slots are PCIe Gen 5 ready.
RAM Upgradability
The G18 sports up to 64GB of DDR5 6400MHz RAM, offering incredible gaming and multitasking performance. And with two SO-DIMM slots easily accessible without tools, you can easily upgrade the RAM whenever you need more. Go ahead - keep all those tabs open.
Limitless Connectivity
We've also equipped the Strix G18 with dual Thunderbolt 5 ports, which offers the latest in high bandwidth connectivity, up to 3X compared to Thunderbolt 4. With a diverse ecosystem of devices and peripherals compatible over USB-C, including support for power delivery, high-resolution display output, and support for the latest docking stations, Thunderbolt 5 is the easiest way to turn your G18 into a true battle station.
ROG Intelligent Cooling
We've completely revamped the cooling solution of the 2025 Strix G18 to ensure that you get the best gaming experience with your machine, every time. We've relocated all of the exhaust vents to the rear of the hinge, keeping warm air away from your mousing hand. The sides and bottom of the machine act as an air intake, creating a natural, efficient path for airflow. Air also flows through the keyboard deck, keeping your hands cooler during intense gaming sessions. When pairing an end-to-end vapor chamber with a sandwiched heatsink, Tri-Fan Technology, and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both CPU & GPU, the 2025 Strix G18 achieves a lower noise level in Turbo Mode compared to the previous generation, while still offering the same calculated excellence you expect from a Strix machine.
End-to-end Vapor Chamber
We've used vapor chambers in our high-end ROG machines before, but the component inside the heart of the 2025 Strix G18 is truly special. We've designed a vapor chamber with different layers to more accurately match the layout of the motherboard, for maximum contact on the CPU and GPU. We also pushed the vapor chamber all the way to the rear of the chassis, sandwiching it between the upper and lower heatsinks to further optimize heat dissipation.
Sandwiched heatsink
The entire rear portion of the Strix G18 is dedicated to its full-width heatsink. The upper and lower sections are built from 0.1mm thick copper fins, for a total surface area of 213041 sq.mm. This sandwiched design uses all available space for the densely packed fins, giving the G18 ultra-efficient thermal performance without increasing bulk.
Tri-Fan Technology
Our cutting-edge 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 sends additional heat from the GPU and VRAM directly to the heatsinks, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.
Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal
The Strix G18 features Thermal Grizzly's cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme, which improves upon the already incredible heat transfer found in standard liquid metals. 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.
Ambient cooling
The new rear facing exhaust, redesigned vapor chamber, and 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans allowed us to bring the operating volume in Turbo Mode down from last generation.
0.1mm ultra-thin fins
The Strix G18's heatsink features ultra-thin 0.1mm copper fins, providing the perfect balance between airflow and density to keep heat dissipation optimal.
CoolZone keyboard
Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make the keyboard warm to the touch. The G18 boasts the largest airflow cutouts we've ever added to a laptop, which allows the fans to draw in fresh air from above and through the keyboard deck. This keeps your fingers cool during marathon gaming sessions, while also improving overall system airflow.
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.
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. Armory Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the
