18-inch WQXGA 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814FP-WS96-HID5 is an 18-inch gaming laptop with a 2560 x 1600 IPS-level display running at 240Hz. It runs on an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX 16-core processor with a 5.4 GHz max turbo frequency and 64 MB L3 cache. The system includes an NVIDIA RTX 5070 GPU with 8 GB GDDR7 video memory, 32 GB DDR5 5600MHz dual-channel RAM, and 16 TB of PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe storage across two 8 TB drives. It ships with Windows 11 Home in an Eclipse Gray chassis measuring 15.71 x 11.57 x 0.91 to 1.21 inches and weighing 6.61 lbs.

Thermal Grizzly and Gelid TIM upgrade

HIDevolution replaces the stock thermal interface material with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU. This upgrade targets lower core temperatures under sustained load compared to the factory configuration. The jump is worth it when you run long rendering, compilation or gaming sessions that push the 16-core CPU and RTX 5070 continuously. Cooler silicon can hold higher boost clocks for longer, reducing thermal throttling without changing the hardware specification.

Pre-applied liquid metal and gel compound

The laptop arrives with both compounds already applied and validated through burn-in stress testing, BIOS and driver updates, and full hardware verification. No user installation is required for the thermal upgrade. The main risk with liquid metal is migration if the heatsink pressure is uneven or the laptop suffers a heavy impact; the builder mitigates this with a conformal barrier and pressure testing. Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU is a non-conductive paste, so it poses no short-circuit risk even if it spreads.

Questions about this item

Will the 15.71" x 11.57" chassis with a 0.91" front height fit my 18-inch laptop sleeve?

The laptop measures 15.71 inches wide by 11.57 inches deep, with a tapered profile from 0.91 inches at the front to 1.21 inches at the rear, so check your sleeve against those exact external dimensions.

Is any disassembly required to apply the Gelid GC Extreme compound on the RTX 5070 GPU, and what step do builders often skip?

Yes, the heatsink must be removed from the graphics chip, the old paste cleaned off, and the new compound spread evenly; the step most often missed is torquing the mounting screws back down in a diagonal pattern to avoid uneven pressure.

When the 16 TB of storage fills up, can I add another M.2 NVMe drive internally?

Both M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots are already populated with the two 8 TB drives, so no internal slot remains for another NVMe module; additional capacity must use external USB enclosures.
