18" WUXGA 144Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814PH is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPU with 8 GB GDDR7 video memory. It ships with Windows 11 Home, 16 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz dual-channel memory, and a 16 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD configured as two 8 TB drives. The IPS-level display runs at 1920 x 1200 resolution and 144 Hz refresh rate.

Thermal Grizzly and Gelid TIM upgrade

This unit replaces the factory thermal interface with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU. The custom paste application lowers core temperatures under sustained load compared with the stock configuration. The jump is worth it when you run long render jobs, compile large codebases, or play demanding titles for hours and want consistent boost clocks without thermal throttling.

DDR5 speed and storage layout check

Verify that your workloads can use 16 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz in dual-channel mode; the modules are installed as 2 x 8 GB. Confirm the two M.2 slots are occupied by the 8 TB NVMe drives so no free slot remains for additional internal storage. The chassis measures 15.71" x 11.57" x 0.91"~1.21" and weighs 6.61 lbs, so ensure your bag or workspace accommodates those dimensions.

Questions about this item

What are the chassis dimensions for the 18.0" G814PH?

The laptop measures 15.71" wide by 11.57" deep with a height ranging from .91" to 1.21" and weighs 6.61 lbs.

How are the thermal upgrades applied inside the G814PH?

Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut is applied on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU during the build-to-order assembly before stress testing.

What storage expansion does the G814PH support later?

Two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots are populated with 8 TB NVMe drives each, so future expansion requires replacing one or both existing modules.
