TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
Advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation works for both upstream and
downstream connections, letting you remove noise from your mic input
and incoming feeds. Audio settings can even be customized on a per-app
basis, filtering specific apps like voice chat so you can have crystal
clear in-game communications without touching game audio. Our
noise-canceling technology runs on the CPU, freeing up the GPU to
maximize gaming performance.

LASTING COOL
Comprehensive cooling sustains long-term system reliability and extends
the lifespan of your machine. Four heatpipes and three heatsinks draw heat
away from your hardware and dissipates it quickly, keeping component
temperatures at optimum levels. A self-cleaning cooling design ensures
that your cooling system stays debris-free for full functionality for the
long haul. Tuned operating modes balance clock speeds and acoustics for
the task at hand, customizable to your needs.

Durability
MILITARY-GRADE TOUGHNESS
In order to earn the TUF Gaming name, these laptops must successfully
survive a rigorous battery of MIL-STD-810H tests. Test devices are exposed
to drops, vibration, humidity, and extreme temperatures to ensure
reliability. Dependable even in the harshest conditions, the F17 is more
than capable of withstanding the accidental bumps and knocks of everyday
life.

REDUCED FALL DAMAGE
Drop tests ensure every TUF Gaming laptop can resist damage from
unexpected falls, knocks, and bumps during shipment and daily use. To
meet MIL-STD-810H standards, devices are tested to survive short falls.
Slip the F17 into your backpack, sling it over your shoulder, and carry
it with you everywhere with less stress and worry.
*Please refer to the shock bench handling test, method 516.8, procedure
VI for the exact test conditions.
TRAVEL EASY
Any time you carry your device into planes, trains, or cars, it
experiences varying levels of vibration that can dislodge or damage
internal components. Extensive vibration testing ensures that every part
of your TUF Gaming laptop can withstand the rigors of travel without
shifting around or losing functionality.
*Please refer to the vibration test, method 514.8 for the exact test
conditions.
COOL UNDER FIRE
Whether you’re trekking out across the desert or sunning at the beach,
scorching heat testing ensures that you can always keep your TUF Gaming
laptop close at hand. Capable of operating in temperatures up to 49°C
for several days at a time, these devices can definitely handle the
heat.
*Please refer to the high temperature operational test, method 501.7,
procedure II for the exact test conditions.
SERIOUS CHILL
Even in biting cold temperatures as low as -32°C, TUF Gaming laptops
keep running. This incredible resilience means they can be taken through
some of the harshest, freezing environments on the planet and maintain
their effectiveness throughout the journey.
*Please refer to the low temperature operational test, method 502.7,
procedure II for the exact test conditions.
HUMIDITY? NO SWEAT
TUF Gaming laptop chassis are built to withstand humidity of up to 95%
for extended periods of time, and come out through the other side with
full functionality. Even if you’re traveling through tropical climates
with harsh and wet conditions, TUF laptops can weather the storm.

and web-browsing seamlessly. Keep focused and keep active with no
slowdowns in sight.
*3200MHz memory speed only available in configurations with
Intel® Core™ i7 and Core™ i9
CPUs.
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.
Stream and video chat anywhere
Our integrated webcam makes it more convenient to stream and
create content on the go. Traditional cameras use either 2DNR
technology that analyzes individual frames to correct noise, or
3DNR technology that analyzes frames in sequence to improve
overall fidelity. Our webcams use a blend of 2DNR and 3DNR
technology, reducing noise for images across sequences to get the
best of both worlds.
Heat Dissipation
Efficient heat redistribution enables faster dissipation,
minimizing thermal throttling. The TUF Gaming F17’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.
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.
