Design

Undoubtedly, the major attraction of the new Asus ROG G20CB is in its compact small form factor. A design concept that, until now, had not been seen in almost any desktop computer dedicated to gaming, because these computers usually opt for larger sizes. But the improvement in the architecture of Intel chips are allowing manufacturers to create increasingly versatile designs. The ROG G20CB has already received critical acclaim – winning the 2015 CES Innovation and iF Design awards. The G20CB sports a bold design – boasting a matte­ black finish, aggressive lines, Mayan ­inspired markings, and dynamic 8 ­million­ color LED effects. This design concept gives the computer a very futuristic look and feel.

  • Multi-color cycle play: The LEDs will cycle through up to 10 different colors.
  • Pulse effect: The LEDs slowly pulse every 10 seconds to mimic a breathing effect.
  • Sound effect: The LEDs act as a volume visualizer.

Speed

The ROG G20CB is available in several configurations and can even be equipped with a solid state drive (SSD). The latest M.2 PCIe® Gen 3 x4 SSD gives you data access speeds of up to 2Gbit/s – four times faster than SATA SSDs. This means that the G20CB boots up faster, apps load quicker, and in-game wait times are reduced. DDR4 SDRAM provides speeds of up to 2.1GT/s — twice that of DDR3 1066 — to give you highly stable performance. There’s even a USB 3.1 Type-C for data speeds of up to 10Gbit/s – twice that of USB 3.0.

The ROG G20CB also supports displays with NVIDIA® G-SYNC™ technology. G-SYNC synchronizes the display’s refresh rate with the G20CB’s NVIDIA GTX GPU for ultra-smooth visuals. This gets rid of lag, minimizes frame-rate stutter, and eliminates visual tearing. It delivers the smoothest and fastest gaming graphics — all without affecting system performance.

Noise Reduction

The Asus ROG G20CB isn’t just powerful; it’s extremely quiet as well. You’d hardly know that the computer is running as it runs whisper-quiet at just 22dB at idle – quieter than a typical library. Asus ROG G20CB Noise Reduction.

Heat Management

The computer is designed with no visible side exhaust vents to keep the chassis’ looking neat. It has an integrated thermal design that takes advantage of natural convection, and has a hidden airflow channel that ensures efficient heat management. The 1cm­ wide airflow channel draws air from the bottom of the chassis; while the GPU fan vents hot air out to the back of the chassis.

Two additional internal fans and copper pipes further enhance heat dissipation through fins at the top of the chassis. All these little details help in keeping the G20CB cool and stable during gaming.
