18-inch WUXGA 144Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814PH pairs an 18.0-inch 1920 x 1200 IPS-level display running at 144Hz with a 16-core Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and an RTX 5050 graphics card with 8 GB GDDR7. It ships with Windows 11 Pro in an Eclipse Gray chassis measuring 15.71 x 11.57 x 0.91–1.21 inches and weighing 6.61 lbs.

Upgraded thermal interface and memory

HIDevolution replaces the stock thermal compound with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut on the CPU and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU to lower operating temperatures. The system memory is upgraded to 128 GB DDR5 5600 MHz in a 2 x 64 GB dual-channel configuration, and storage is expanded to 4 TB across two 2 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSDs.

128 GB DDR5 and 4 TB NVMe headroom

The 128 GB DDR5 capacity supports heavy multitasking, large dataset work and memory-hungry applications without paging. The 4 TB NVMe array delivers fast boot and load times for extensive game libraries and project files. Storage headroom ends when both M.2 slots are populated, and memory headroom ends at the installed 128 GB limit.
