Advanced Tri-Fan cooling, a full-width heatsink, and surround ventilation keep performance steady under pressure, while dual PCIe 4.0 SSD slots — and PCIe Gen 5 support on Intel models — enable lightning-fast storage upgrades, all with tool-less access for hassle-free upgrades.

With customizable hotkeys, bold design, and serious specs, the Strix G16 and G18 are ready to help gamers rise to the top.
