Strix GL12 is powered by up to a factory-overclocked 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1080 graphics for unmatched gaming prowess. It features an esports-ready, easy-swap 2.5-inch SSD tray that can be taken out and replaced in seconds, all without having to shut down the system1.

Exceptional Gaming Prowess
Strix GL12 is powered by up to an 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8700K processor, with every processor having been tested and handpicked by ROG engineers to ensure the very best performance. When combined with Turbo Gear, these top-of-the-line processors can be overclocked to speeds of up to 4.8GHz (hexa-core) — that’s up to 50% faster than previous-generation processors. It's also even faster than Intel Turbo Boost, which overclocks to a maximum speed of 4.3GHz (hexa-core).
Strix GL12 features up to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card for 3X the performance of previous-generation graphics cards, ensuring incredible gaming visuals and VR experiences without compromising energy efficiency. In addition, NVIDIA G-SYNC™ technology also gets rid of lag, minimizes perceived stutter, and eliminates visual tearing to provide smooth and fast visuals, without affecting system performance.
Upgrade-Friendly Features
Strix GL12 has a clever internal layout that provides plenty of room for expansion. It has an esports-ready, easy-swap 2.5-inch SSD tray that can be replaced on the fly without having to shut down the system. GL12 also houses up to two HDDs, one SSD, two exhaust fans, and features easy cable routing to keep the insides of the chassis neat and organized.
