Horrible customer service

Bought a desktop with 32GB of ram. One of the 16GB sticks was DOA. Both BestBuy and ASUS would not do anything about it except require an exchange of the whole computer. Had spent 6 hours setting up the computer and another 3 trying to get them to exchange just the faulty stick. $50 value is not worth the time to do all that again, but they don't care. That's their intention is that if they make it inconvenient to replace, then most customers will just buy another out of their own pocket. Spoke with CSR at ASUS. He was hard to speak to, constantly forgot our conversation, slow speaking and was overall unhelpful and ineffective. Most of the blame lays with ASUS (and bestbuy) on this one, but at least if you're going to put a firewall of CSRs between you and your angry customers, hire competent communicators.

Review of the Asus RoG Strix GL12

Hi this is MrStrainYT I'm here to tell you that this computer will get you going in gaming. Add a high quality 240 HZ monitor capable and also you can upgrade to a rtx 3080 and get a 360 HZ monitor and it should run it with precise precision and not overwhelm it without upgrading your CPU or your motherboard so this is a great buy I suggest to go to this one it has a SSD capable that you can take in and out and have it for mobility to carry with you to gaming competitions anywhere in the world. Which in turn with the SSD cuts down on uploading and downloading to your screen it's a lot faster with an SSD.Hope you guys have a blessed day and hope this review helps you out. I personally didn't see any negatives by the way and I've had the computer for over 10 months ??

Fast, Great Features, Handles Everything

I purchased a ASUS GL12CX Gaming Desktop with an Intel Core i7-9700F and 32 gig of RAM 3 months ago and I am so glad I did, I usually build my own desktops with ASUS Motherboards and for the first time in 30 years I purchased a Manufacturer Built system and I couldn't be happier with it, it is fast and so far it has handled anything that I throw at it. I typically have 3 Browsers with about 100 tabs open, Email program, Photoshop, Fireworks, Video Editing software and other things open all the time and I have never had a slow down or had to reboot unless Windows 10 Update makes me.

Works great with 3 monitors

I bought this for gaming with one monitor. I ended up with 3 monitors and it still runs Borderlands 3 in Ultra+ at 80+ FPS with 3 monitors.

Beautiful Design!

I initially went to purchase a laptop, but upon seeing this desktop, I had a change of heart and bought this instead. I'm still happy that I did. Aside from the power and features, the design itself (I like the lighting in particular) is just beautiful!

Great Bang For Your Buck

By xXSlayerXx

Great gaming rig for someone just getting started but doesn't want to build your own. Its runs most games on max to high settings and has room for upgrades!

The ROG Strix GL12 is engineered to quench gamers' never-ending thirst for extreme gaming horsepower paired with striking, unconventional design. It is powered by up to a factory-overclocked 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8700K processor (up to 4.7GHz, full six-core), with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 graphics for boundless gaming experiences. System upgrades are effortless thanks to its expansion bays and an esports-ready hot-swap SSD tray. Coupled with customizable ASUS Aura Sync customizable light effects, the included clear side panel lets you express your gaming persona, inside and out.

Factory-Overclocked CPU
ROG engineers employ the strictest standards and handpick only the very best processors for ROG Strix GL12. It features an 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8700K processor, which when combined with Turbo Gear, can be overclocked to speeds of up to 4.7GHz using all six cores! That's even faster than Intel Turbo Boost, which overclocks to a maximum speed of 4.3GHz using all six cores. Your gaming experiences will be smoother than ever before, so get ready to launch that next formidable strike!

Ultimate Graphics
ROG Strix GL12 is packed with a GeForce GTX 1060 graphics card that delivers a higher performance than previous-generation graphics cards for incredible gaming visuals and VR experiences, without compromising energy-efficiency. Additionally, NVIDIA G-SYNC helps get rid of lag, minimize perceived stutter and eliminate visual tearing for smooth and fast visuals, without affecting system performance!

Game Your Way with Aura Sync
The slashes on the front facade of ROG Strix GL12 can be customized with Aura Sync technology LED effects to reflect your gaming persona or the feel of the gaming you're currently playing. Pair it with Aura Sync-supported keyboards, mice, earphones and other peripherals to give your entire gaming rig a consistent look and feel with a choice of over 16 million colors and several distinct lighting effects. Inside, the ROG liquid-cooling block features a glowing red logo, proving that this powerful machine is ready for action.

Upgrade and Tournament-Ready Hot Swap
The speed and intensity at the highest levels of competition keeps competitors and fans at the edge of their seats. Tournaments such as Rift Rivals, IEM Australia and ROG Masters require gamers to save their customized settings in a hot-swap SSD prior to going up on stage. Prepared for any LAN or tournament, the ROG Strix GL12 features a hot-swap 2.5" SSD tray. Not quite a pro yet? The GL12's hot-swap bay also provides a hassle-free way to expand your storage capacity with an additional SSD!

Control at Your Fingertips
ROG-designed Aegis III is a system performance monitoring app that enhances gaming experiences by allowing you to track current fan speeds, CPU and memory usage, as well as download and upload status. A simple click lets you activate overclocking mode, with automatic warnings if the system exceeds temperature or voltage thresholds. In addition, you can record and edit gameplay videos to share your frags on social media with XSplit integration.

Hassle-Free Compatibility
To ensure that you're always game-ready, ROG Strix GL12 offers extensive connectivity options so there's more than enough ports for your gamepad, headphones, microphone and webcam.
