ASUS ROG Goes Liquid Metal for Better Cooling

ASUS is upping the ante when it comes to cooling with their new line up of gaming laptops! The company announced today that their new line up of Republic of Gamers (ROG) laptops will not only come with the 10th generation Intel processors and NVIDIA RTX SUPER graphics cards; they will now come with a new thermal compound to help with cooling efficiency.

The new laptops will now employ the help of the Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut liquid-metal thermal compound. The new cooling compound has long been used by overclockers and enthusiasts to help draw more performance from processors by keeping temperatures down. The new liquid metal approach that ASUS is employing allows comes after a year’s long research and development cycle. This has allowed ASUS to create a patented factory application process.

The first step of the process involves applying the liquid metal which is essentially a painting process. This happens 17 times, the ideal number of passes according to ASUS. While that’s happening, more of the liquid into the die. ASUS engineers have created a special barrier that prevents it from seeping and shorting the circuits.

So what’s the big deal? Well, with this new process, all of the new ROG gaming laptops will now be able to perform at lower temperatures. This translates to more silent laptops and higher performance at lower temperatures. So, it could very well mean that ASUS’s new ROG line up could be the most powerful laptops on the market thanks to better, more efficient cooling.
