THERMAL

LASTING COOL

Comprehensive cooling ensures that every TUF Gaming laptop can sustain high performance and maintain effectiveness over a long life span. Multiple heatpipes and 2 heatsinks draw heat away from core components and dissipate it quickly even during intense gaming sessions. A self-cleaning cooling design ensures that each device’s cooling system stays strong for the long run, while operating modes balance performance and noise levels for the specific task at hand.

 

SELF CLEANING SUSTAINS PERFORMANCE | DUAL FAN DESIGN | OPERATING MODES OPTIMIZE COOLING

 

 

Self-Cleaning Cooling

Two anti-dust tunnels located at the edges of the fans catch incoming dust and dirt particles and channel them back out of the chassis. These measures improve overall system stability by preventing build-up that can compromise the performance of internal cooling components. Self-cleaning cooling ensures long-term system reliability that truly lives up to the TUF name.

 

 

Heatsinks

Two heatsinks keep performance stable and reliable, even during marathon gaming sessions where heat can compromise your FPS. The stronger and more resilient chassis design also enables the addition of more vents, increasing airflow through the laptop.

 

 

Scenario Profiles

Scenario Profiles automatically change operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Performance mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment. You can customize Scenario Profiles to seamlessly switch modes based on your preferences, or use a keyboard shortcut to change modes manually.

 

 

UPGRADEABILITY

UPGRADING MADE EASY

Upgrading your RAM and SSD is simplified with an easy-upgrade design that gives you fast access to memory slots and storage bays. With a standard screwdriver, you can easily remove the screws at the bottom of the chassis to make your desired modifications. A special pop-open screw raises one corner of the bottom panel, making it easier to separate. Quickly upgrade or replace your RAM, or increase your responsive SSD capacity by adding a second PCIe® drive.
