Built for heavy multitasking and mobile gaming

The ASUS TUF Gaming A18 FA808UH-RS74-HID16 is an 18" laptop powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor with 16 cores and a maximum turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz. It pairs this CPU with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card equipped with 8 GB of GDDR7 video memory. The system targets users who need high core counts and discrete graphics in a single portable chassis.

Fits a desk-replacement setup with upgraded thermals

The 18.0 inch WUXGA display runs at 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 144 Hz refresh rate on an IPS-level panel. HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on the CPU and GPU to lower operating temperatures under sustained loads. The 96 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory is installed as two 48 GB modules in dual-channel configuration, while the 1 TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD provides the primary storage volume.

Customised components alter the out-of-box

The memory and storage upgrades are performed by the builder before shipment, so the laptop arrives with 96 GB of RAM and a 1 TB NVMe drive already installed. Gelid GC Extreme paste replaces the factory thermal compound to improve heat transfer from the processor and graphics chip. Windows 11 Home is pre-loaded and validated through a full quality-control process that includes BIOS updates, driver installation, stress testing and hardware inspection.

Questions about this item

How high does the Ryzen 7 260 clock speed reach under sustained load?

The processor has a maximum turbo frequency of 5.1 GHz. Actual sustained clocks depend on workload and thermal headroom, which the Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound helps maintain.

What temperatures and fan noise should I expect when the RTX 5050 and CPU run all day?

The build includes Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on both processor and graphics chip to lower core temperatures. Lower temperatures typically allow the cooling fans to run at reduced speeds, cutting noise during extended sessions.

Which memory modules are already installed so I know what to add later?

The laptop ships with 96 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory configured as two 48 GB modules in dual-channel mode. Both SO-DIMM slots are occupied.
