I'm overwhelmed by so many things right now, not the least of which is that I keep having to build wind turbines. For the audiophile gamer, the audio jack on the front connects to an ESS Sabre headphone DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with an amplifier that delivers high dynamic range (DNR) and exceptional signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for incredible sound whether in games, watching movies or listening to your jam.Your animals will demand your attention in Planet Zoo, just one of several simulation games that might distract you from quarantine. As any PC builder or modder would agree, immaculate cable management is essential and may take hours, though you can just leave that to ROG.Īll the buttons, audio jacks, ports including two USB 3.1 (Type-A and Type-C) ports, and the optical drive are streamlined in design and easily accessible. The attention to detail in every aspect of the design such as the turbine-esque air intake, aerodynamic lines and 8-million-color lighting effects over four zones makes you wonder if ROG was indeed designing a supercar.

The striking design not only won the iF Design Award, ROG GT51CA was also bestowed with a 2016 CES Innovation Award. Booting up the GT51CA and getting into a game can't get much faster than this. It would be a travesty to match all that power with a traditional hard drive, the only sensible thing to do is feature up to two 512GB NVMe PCIe SSDs (solid-state disks) in RAID 0 configuration for up to 3.2Gbps data transfer speed, which is up to six times faster than a standard SATA SSD. With great overclocked power comes great cooling, the Hydro Overclocking System includes a liquid-cooling unit for the CPU and dedicated air channels to cool the graphics cards, even the PSU (power supply unit) has its own dedicated airflow design. Intel Core i7 processor overclockable to 4.6GHz without the need to reboot, up to 64GB of DDR4 memory overclocked to 2800MHz, and up to two NVIDIA Titan X graphics cards in SLI for the power to game in glorious 4K/Ultra HD resolution.


At the heart of the 2016 iF Design Award-winning beast, lies a 6th Gen.
