Calculated excellence
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. *Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal is applied to the GPU on models with a BD1 GPU only
Exhaust vents are moved to the rear hinge area to keep warm air away from your mouse hand. Fresh air flows in from the sides, bottom, and through the keyboard deck to give internal components room to breathe.
An end to end vapor chamber, sandwiched heatsink, and Tri Fan layout pair with Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on CPU and GPU to lower temperatures and maintain high performance.
- End to end vapor chamber with layered construction
- Full width rear heatsink with ultra thin 0.1 mm copper fins
- Tri Fan Technology targeting GPU, VRAM, and hot zones
- Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal for lower CPU temperatures
- Large keyboard airflow cutouts and dust filter on intakes
Nebula visual advantage
A bright 18 inch 2.5K 240Hz panel with ACR film, Dolby Vision, G SYNC, and full DCI P3 coverage.
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix G18 boasts an ultra-fast 2.5K 240Hz Nebula display with a 3ms response time, ensuring you’ll always get the jump on your opponent. A 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, the Strix G18 has incredible color accuracy with pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights. We’ve also added a brand new ACR (Ambient Contrast Ratio) film, with two layers that cut down on glare to increase contrast for more vibrant visuals, as well as improving off-angle viewing for when you might have a spectator.
