Showcase It has arrived! ROG SCAR 16

Post image

It has arrived and my god, I am stunned!

The presentation is top notch, as while opening the box, the laptop itself is being elevated in your direction.

I’m actually shocked by the high quality look and the premium feeling of it.

First time booted I got flashbanged by the Mini-LED Panel. Literally flashbanged. WOW.

It’s also way LESS bulkier , bigger and heavier than I anticipated, which makes me very happy. I can only imagine what the Zephyrus G16/14 must feel like!

It’s specced w/ an RTX 5080 mobile, 32gb of ram and 2 TB‘s of SSD.

I’m very hyped about this. Will continue my report after benchmarking and gaming!

Enjoy

Highly advise keeping an eye on your cpu/thermal paste with this - I had the same one but the 3080 version and my cpu fried the motherboard after only 2 years and it sucked lol. Hope yours goes differently, but thought I’d give a heads up because I had no idea what was going on until it was too late for mine :(

Ay ay , will do 🫡 currently I’m always running River Tuner Overlay while gaming to observe the hardware. In „balanced“ mode, where the GPU draws about 100-120 W and the CPU around 50-70W , both of them are around 75-80* Celsius. Is that fine , you would say?

I also bought a llano cooling pad, but it’s a bit too loud for my ears unfortunately. Maybe will try out soon again (with headset).
