Asus Gaming Laptop Water Cooling

I have been waiting for the new Asus 4080 laptops for a while now. I keep checking where they have in stock daily and finally on 03/08 I hit the jackpot and ordered right away on B&H when it became available. Next thing I knew I am one of the few who are able to get my hands on the brand new Asus Strix Scar 16 2023. This little bad boy is a beast, the RGB is amazing as usual; better than razor blade ofc. The new cooling design is phenomenal, the cooling is significantly improved. As usual when I get my hands on the new laptop I take it apart and replace the stock liquid paste to carbon paste for extreme cooling performance. I ran Mextro Exodus on Extreme at 75 Degrees F on CPU AND 65 Degrees F on GPU. I ran COD on high with CPU 80 Degrees F and GPU 65 Degrees F. Amazing performance with the new RTX 4080 card combining the 32GB DDR5 with the new Intel i9 chip. This bad boy runs every game I have on hand on extreme or ultra setting with ease. The refresh rate on the laptop screen itself is amazing at 240hz but I still use my 30inch curved 2k 200hz monitor. Let's all be honest, you will never need to run a game at 140 FPS. I can get a stable 160 FPS with extreme or ultra settings with DLSS on. This is the upgrade I have been waiting for since my Asus 2080ti laptop, not some 3080 with no improvement.

I am learning to enjoy my ASUS 15.6 Vivobook. It is a replacement for my nearly 14 year old laptop that has seen better days. I am on a limited budget, but I didn't want mediocre specs that would be outdated in 6 months. I do mainly internet browsing, some productivity work (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.), some low intensity gaming, and on occasion some video editing for my socials. Bottom line - You should probably get one while qtys and pricing are good. Pros - It has the specs I wanted (i9 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) at a great price. More than enough computing power for gaming, casual internet browsing, and the occasional homework/essay. It included FREE 2-Day Shipping - I am on the West Coast. Screen colors are vibrant, keyboard is keyboard-y with backlit keys. The laptop itself is not the lightest out there, but is hardly the boat anchor ROG ASUS I still own that is on its last legs. It's offered thru a reputable dealer. Cons (ish) - Only 1920x1080 resolution and no touchscreen. I haven't really encountered any other negatives so far. It's been a while since I purchased MY own laptop. To be transparent, I have helped recommend and even purchased several laptops over the years for my family and friends. My previous-current laptop is a still-running ASUS G51J (i7 CPU 1st Gen, 6GB RAM, 500GB 2.5 HDD) - battery doesn't charge, but still works plugged in. I purchased it from B&H also circa 2010. Being a frugal tinkerer myself, but wanting the best value for my budget, I researched and compared several buying sources including big box stores, national (U.S.) retail chains and even Amazon, but I still chose B&H. Even though I am on the West Coast, I still found value in the products they offer as well as the service and buying experience. Did I mention FREE 2-Day shipping from the East Coast (NY). Hope this review helps.

Just got this the other day. Have been waiting months for this! Works with my Asus gaming laptop, going thunderbolt to firewire adapter to my Presonus Firestudio.

The case it's self is made just like any other Pelican. The padding is awesome and the space is more than enough for me to use with my laptop. I have a large ASUS 15.6 gaming laptop and it is enough to fit the computer, mouse and charger without it wiggling around. I also use this for my transporting my pistol sense I didn't cut up the block of foam for the ASUS. On the downside the Tan color is a lot lighter than I thought it was going to be, which is a very minor complaint.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a top-of-the-line gaming laptop that boasts both excellent performance and striking aesthetics. With a powerful 14th Gen Intel Core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, it can handle even the most demanding games with ease. Additionally, the display delivers vivid visuals and a smooth refresh rate. Although not my favorite feature, the dazzling RGB lighting adds a touch of personality. While on the heavier side, the overall build quality is impressive. Although still not quite on par with the Zephyrus G16 build quality, the Scar 16 more than makes up for its build quality with approximately 20% more performance over the G16 and the ability to further upgrade the RAM for even more performance. If you're looking for a gaming laptop that offers both style and substance, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 is a great option for a portable desktop replacement.

I brought this since my Asus Gaming laptop only had a 1/2TB SSD. Easy to install and fast read/write times. Highly Recommend.

My Asus rog strix scar edition gaming laptop didn't come with a optical drive so I bought this as a replacement and it works awesome super fast and ready to go out of the box I would definitely recommend

I was looking for a good gaming laptop from Asus and found this one on the B&H website. It was featured as best overall for that price range. I paid more than what B&H are asking for it now. The Asus F15 Tuf Gamer plays all my games on the highest settings and I'm getting a constant 60 to 144 FPS. I purchased an additional 1TB SSD and installed it with no problem. (do not format the SSD) The system will recognize it. The sound is great, the dual fans are quiet, even on Turbo. The colors are realistic and my games and photos really look good. This laptop is more powerful than the best gaming consoles with it's I7 CPU and embedded GTX 3060 graphics. I'm glad B&H dropped the price and made it more available for consumers looking for a good gamer. It is built to military specifications and can stand moderate falls if you drop it. Note: It does not come with a DVD drive or memory card reader, no problem: you can get those from B&H for a nominal price. Highly recommended.

I love my new laptop! An excellent gaming monster! There is nothing I cannot play. Thank you so much Asus! Keep up the great work!

I have installed it on my Asus gaming laptop for game storage as a second M.2 and it is really fast and even without heatsink, it doesn't get hot. I am considering now to buy a second one with 2TB for game storage and makes the 1TB version the primary one for the OS, as it is faster than the pre installed Samsung ssd.
