Keep focused and keep active with no slowdowns in sight.
**Memory specification is rated for 5600MHz, but due to a CPU limitation is limited to 4800MHz.
Experience Ultrafast Networking
Ultrafast Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) lets you game reliably at
LAN speeds wherever compatible connections are
available. Wi-Fi 6 boosts network speed and efficiency,
providing a better internet connection in crowded
spaces. Furthermore, with Wi-Fi 6’s TWT mechanism and
WPA3 security standard, you can enjoy gaming with
extended device battery life and better wireless
security.
Heat Dissipation
Efficient heat redistribution enables faster
dissipation, minimizing thermal throttling. The TUF
Gaming A17’s tailored system of four heatpipes and three
heatsinks absorbs warmth from the CPU and GPU transfers
it away. An extended heat spreader on the CPU further
helps keep the processor at optimum temperatures for
reliable performance, even under serious stress.
Self-Cleaning Cooling 2.0
Two anti-dust tunnels located at the edges of the fans
catch incoming dust and dirt particles and channel them
back out of the chassis. An updated design shortens the
tunnels to create more space for airflow, increasing fan
performance up to 15% over the previous generation.
These measures improve overall system stability by
preventing build-up that can compromise the performance
of internal cooling components. Self-cleaning Cooling
2.0 ensures long-term system reliability that truly
lives up to the TUF name.
*Self-Cleaning Cooling version and heatpipe number
varies by SKU.
83-Blade lcp Fans
Maximize your airflow with two 83-Blade fans. Carefully
shaped intake shrouds use curved edges and raised guides
to help the fans draw in more air. Once the air’s
inside, it’s blasted toward the heatsinks by 83 0.25mm
blades that are 55% thinner than conventional designs,
yet strong enough to spin at high RPMs. These powerful
fans amplify airflow up to 10% to keep your system cool.
With 0dB Technology, the fans switch off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures are below 60°C in the Silent operating mode. This makes cooling truly silent under light workloads. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
With 0dB Technology, the fans switch off completely when CPU and GPU temperatures are below 60°C in the Silent operating mode. This makes cooling truly silent under light workloads. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
Scenario Profiles
Scenario Profiles automatically change operating modes
to optimize performance and acoustics for different
games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan
speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Performance
mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise
levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for
lighter work and entertainment. You can customize
Scenario Profiles to seamlessly switch modes based on
your preferences, or use a keyboard shortcut to change
modes manually.
