ASUS Announces S501MD

TAIPEI, Taiwan, January 6, 2022 — ASUS today announced S501MD, a powerful, stylish and versatile compact tower PC that’s ideal for a wide range of uses from everyday content creation and home working to online learning and casual gaming. It features a cutting-edge up to 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor and high-performance discrete up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 graphics, two-way AI noise cancelation and an optimized thermal system, to keep things quick, clear and cool. It’s manufactured with outstanding build quality for years of durable, reliable computing, and finished with an aesthetically-pleasing geometric design delivers a contemporary look to complement any modern home.

The power to do more: 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor and discrete RTX 3060 graphics

ASUS S501MD makes light work of any task, with a cutting-edge 12th Gen Intel Core i7 processor that delivers enough power for efficient work and optional professional-grade GPUs to handle demanding graphically-intensive tasks. Paired with up to 128 GB DDR4-3200 memory, S501MD has the power needed to drive lag-free multitasking, and up to three displays can be used simultaneously without adding an extra graphics card.

The optional discrete up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU — based on the cutting-edge NVIDIA Turing™ architecture — enables seamless and effortless editing of detailed creations and multilayered files, whether creating short online videos, full-length features, animation or 3D modeling, or exploring graphic design. S501MD’s graphics also excel at gaming and entertainment, where smooth, clear visuals are vital, with the RTX 3060 graphics card able to pump out reliably high frame rates for fast and fluid fun.

Contemporary design: Tilted chassis for increased airflow and aesthetic for any modern space

Every aspect of ASUS S501MD has been carefully thought out to create a balanced design. Its unique outlook, inspired by modern geometric architecture, carries a contemporary 3D triangular pattern and intricate texture to complement any interior space — and is ideal for the home or small studio. The finish is engineered to brush off everyday scuffs and scratches, and is resistant to fingerprints.

This outstanding design is more than aesthetically pleasing: the tilted chassis enables increased airflow through the base, improving cooling for smooth performance even under heavy loads. A comprehensive cooling system is essential for the reliable and sustained high performance needed for content creation, multitasking and gaming. With smart component placement that minimizes the space between the CPU and system fans, and the tilted chassis that enables increased airflow through the base, S501MD is able to cool things more efficiently than competing designs — and keep them cool. This enables processor clocks and frequencies to be pushed higher for better overall performance.

AI noise-canceling technology: Effective noise elimination for clear calls and conferencing

To level up professional conferencing, ASUS S501MD has AI-powered noise-canceling technology that employs sophisticated machine-learning techniques. The technology includes both an upstream function to filter noise around the speaker, and a downstream function to eliminate noise from the person at the other end of the conversation. This ensures minimal distraction for high-quality communication, so it’s just like being in the room with other people – and is the perfect feature for the modern world of hybrid work and learning.

Built to last: High-efficiency PSU and 100% solid capacitors for long-term reliability and durability

ASUS S501MD features a high-efficiency 80 PLUS® Bronze-certified power supply. Engineered with top-end capacitors for maximum durability, this enables the PC to deliver power at an efficiency of up to 85% — resulting in less heat and lower long-term running costs.

It’s also built with 100% solid capacitors, which are important for storing charge and regulating voltage. This increases system stability, thermal capacity and longevity, resulting in a top-tier Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating.
