Game. Stream. Create.
The Strix G series is built from the ground up for gamers — and, of course, game developers. The Strix G16 can run all of the latest game engines, enabling you to unlock your creativity and try your hand at making the next great game. Whether you’re a digital artist, streamer, video editor, or dabble with animation and game development, the Strix G16 has all the horsepower you need to take your creations to the next level. Featuring up to an Intel® Core™ i9 processor and up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Series Laptop GPU, complex projects on popular development tools like Unity and Autodesk render in a snap. You have what it takes to be the best on the battlefield, but are you ready to design the next one?
COOLING
To accommodate such powerful components, the StrixG16’s chassis and motherboard were both redesigned 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 174,183mm², a 71% increase from the 2022 Strix G15. 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 G16 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 heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU*, the G16’s cooling system is a marvel of engineering.

Exploded view of the G16, showing each level of the thermal solution.
Full-Surround Vents
Hot air needs somewhere to go, so we redesigned the G16’s exhaust vents to give it the best flow possible. In addition to making the entire rear of the machine an exhaust vent, the G16 retains its side vents, giving it ample opportunity to move hot air out of the system. We even moved the heatsinks closer to the vents themselves, giving hot air a straight-line path out of the machine and avoid any recirculation.
Full-Width Heatsink
The G16 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 of 174,183 mm² of surface area — an increase of 71.26% from the 2022 Strix G15. The new 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.
Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal
The 2023 Strix G16 features Thermal Grizzly’s cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal, which improves the substance's heat transfer even further. 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.
*Temperature improvements compared to the previous gen thermal compound, as tested internally by ASUS. Thermal conductivity compared to industry standard.
Up to 7 comprehensive heatpipes
The Strix G16’s comprehensive thermal design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM. With 7 heat pipes 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
First introduced on the 2022 Zephyrus G14, the ROG Strix G16 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.
*Internal testing in a simulated dusty environment.
0.1mm ultra thin fin
Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks, each lined with ultrathin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, allowing for higher density for heat dissipation and lower air resistance to allow for smoother flow. With up to 374 heatsink fins totaling 174,183mm² 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.
DISPLAY
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix G16 has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you’ll never miss a moment. For the first time ever, this 16-inch machine offers a QHD 240Hz Nebula display. A 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage and 3ms response times, the Strix G16 has pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights.

Dolby Vision® Technology
Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision® makes media look better. The technology improves on standard high dynamic range (HDR) 4K 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. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.
100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage
While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer a wide color gamut and rich color, and let you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.
NVIDIA® G-SYNC®
Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With NVIDIA G-SYNC, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.
TÜV Rheinland Certification
Displays emit light across a broad spectrum that unfortunately includes some less desirable wavelengths. Nebula Display protects your eyes by reducing blue light before it leaves the screen, preventing eyestrain during long gaming or content creation sessions.
