CONCEALED IN DARKNESS, LETHAL IN BATTLE ROG Strix GL12 is engineered to quench gamers’ never-ending thirst for extreme gaming horsepower paired with striking, unconventional design. It is powered by up to a factory-overclocked 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-8700K processor (up to 4.8GHz full hexa-core), with NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics for boundless gaming experiences. System upgrades are effortless thanks to its expansion bays and an esports-ready hot-swap SSD tray. A transparent side panel coupled with customizable Aura Sync technology light effects let you express your gaming persona, inside and out.
DESIGN DEFYING CONVENTION ROG Strix GL12 draws inspiration from urban ninja and cyberpunk elements, cutting a modern, lethal, and powerful figure embodied with esports in mind. Sharp, chiseled edges and deep slashes across the façade reflect the scars of battle-hardened warrior; while the cyberpunk-inspired interwoven HyperStream design allows for optimal cooling during intense gaming marathons. When not in battle, the ninja-mask-like magnetic cover can be removed to reveal the hot-swap SSD tray and optical drive, and placed back on when it’s time to get into the fight. In addition, a menacing Iron Gray and glossy black color scheme, Aura RGB LEDs, and a glowing ROG logo give ROG Strix GL12 an unconventional look that’s unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.
DESIGN UNCOVER THE POWER OF ROG STRIX GL12 Select the look of your ROG Strix GL12 with an Iron Gray or transparent side panel. The latter allows you to showcase your latest advanced gaming components housed in the chassis. With this much power under the hood, why not show them off?
