Military-Grade Components

TUF Chokes & MOSFETs

Certified military-grade TUF chokes and MOSFETs deliver rock-solid power to the GPU, which can help improve system stability.

TUF Capacitors

TUF 5K black metallic capacitors provide 52% wider temperature tolerance and a 2.5X longer lifespan than standard capacitors.

Protective PCB Coating

A protective conformal coating envelops the circuit board to help protect against short-circuits caused by moisture, dust or debris.

Dual-ball Fan Bearings

Dual-ball bearings offer an extensive lifespan of up to 80,000 hours, double the longevity of sleeve bearings and surpassing fluid dynamic bearings. This helps ensure long-lasting, reliable and quiet cooling.

Cooling Mastery

This advanced cooling design features the ASUS-exclusive MaxContact manufacturing technique and efficient Axial-tech fans, helping to ensure premium thermal performance, optimized airflow and quiet operation, all within a robust and vented metal exoskeleton.

MaxContact Design

MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.

Axial-tech Upgrades

Axial-tech fans spin on dual-ball bearings and propel more air than standard fans.

New Directions

The two outer fans spin counterclockwise to reduce turbulence and enhance air dispersion. All three fans stop when GPU temps are below 50°C, for quieter operation during light tasks. They restart above 55°C, following a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics.

Vented Exoskeleton

A high-quality diecast shroud and aluminum backplate help prevent PCB flex and feature large vents to further increase heat dissipation

Reliability

ASUS GPU Guard

ASUS GPU Guard applies adhesive to secure all four corners to reduce the risk of cracks.

Auto−Extreme Technology

An automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption and a more reliable product overall.
