THERMAL

INTELLIGENT COOLING WITH BRAINS AND BRAWN

ROG's Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the best experience for each chassis and components, no matter what you’re doing. G703's self-cleaning cooling system expels dust and dirt particles from the chassis to improve longevity, liquid metal compound improves thermal transfer from the CPU, and ultra-thin fins expand the surface area for heat dissipation across quad heatsinks. As you work and play, ROG Armoury Crate software seamlessly switches between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task in front of you.

• UPGRADED 12V FANS
• INTELLIGENT DUAL-FAN DESIGN
• AIRFLOW-OPTIMIZED QUAD-OUTLET CHASSIS
• SLIM 0.1MM THERMAL FINS
• SELF-CLEANING ANTI-DUST TUNNELS
• LIQUID METAL 13°C COOLER CPU TEMPERATURE

EXOTIC THERMAL COMPOUND

Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 13°C* compared to standard thermal paste. The right amount must be applied meticulously for the best results, so we commissioned custom equipment that automates the process with mechanical precision. The block that sits on the CPU also has a special internal fence that prevents liquid medal from leaking out over time.

MULTIPLE COMPONENT COOLING

The unique heat-pipe design cools not only the CPU and GPU independently to avoid thermal throttling, but also keeps chipset power components below 80°C — increasing system reliability and lifespan.

ULTRATHIN FIN DESIGN

The special copper alloy cooling fins used in G703 are just 0.1mm thin — half the thickness of regular fins. Narrower fins allow for more fins to be used in the cooling module, this increases the surface area for heat dissipation by up to 16%, while at the same time reducing air resistance by 7%.

ANTI-DUST COOLING SYSTEM

The ADC system is a patented centrifugal fan module with two anti-dust tunnels. It works on the principle of centrifugal force, which acts on any object moving in a circular path, pushing it away from the center from which it is moving. Dust and other particles in the fan module are blown along the fan walls, and eventually out of the chassis through the anti-dust tunnels. This prolongs the lifespan and increases the stability of the system. Fan noise also decreases since the fans aren’t overworked.

UPGRADED 12V FANS

Compared to regular 5V fans, the two powerful 12V fans found in G703 spin 20% faster, improve airflow by up to 41%, and increase air pressure by up to 92%. In order for regular 5V fans to achieve the same performance, it requires more power, thus making the system unstable — a major disadvantage when in the midst of a fierce firefight.

SCENARIO PROFILES

Gaming laptops are versatile enough to tackle a range of tasks, but requirements vary wildly, so Intelligent Cooling adapts accordingly. It automatically switches between operating modes that optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Balanced mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment.
