ASUS Unveils ROG Strix GA35-G35DX Gaming Desktop with Top-Notch Hardware

[btarunr]

ASUS today unveiled its top-spec ROG Strix GA35 series gaming desktop, the GA35-G35DX. This pre-built desktop comes with some serious hardware specs geared toward AAA gaming at 4K UHD resolution and future-proofing for many years. Under the hood is a potent combination of an AMD Ryzen 9 3950X 16-core processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics, an ROG Strix X570 motherboard, and 64 GB of DDR4-3200 memory. Storage includes a 1 TB PCI-Express 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD, and a 2 TB SATA HDD. 802.11ac WLAN with Bluetooth 5.1, 1 GbE Ethernet, and SupremeFX integrated audio make for the rest of it.

ASUS is using a 240 mm AIO liquid CPU cooler for the Ryzen 9 3950X, while the graphics card retains ASUS's custom-cooling solution for the ROG Strix A11G variant of the RTX 2080 Ti. The ASUS in-house design case features several RGB embellishments which, along the with AIO and graphics card, can be controlled using the Aura Sync tab in Armory Crate. The case features a plastic handle along the top. The front hides a panel that reveals two 2.5-inch hot-swap drive bays with SATA 6 Gbps back-planes. Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.1 type-C, two USB 3.1 type-A, and HDA jacks. A 700 W 80 Plus PSU powers it. The desktop ships with Windows 10 Pro pre-installed. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Incoming price...$4500? Asus surely gonna milk the cows with this one.

Only 80 Plus? Not 80 Plus Gold? I can't remember the last time I saw something that wasn't bronze even.

That is a pretty cheap looking case I must say

I love how it has an extra oven separator compartment for the gfx.

Not only do you mount it vertically with little direct airflow, but every gfx shroud will exhaust 300w of heat straight back, and the handy "airflow ledge" will be sure to keep it right there to bake the bottom half of your motherboard and to make sure it leaks back into your videocard instead of being exhausted up and out of the case.

Also based on the pictures it looks like a full atx/micro atx board with only one slot for the gfx.

So you get all the benefits of a mini itx case, complete with atrocious expandability and cooling, but at a extra wide full ATX footprint! For only way way more money than the individual components are worth!

Deal of the century.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!

It comes with it's very own, all plastic, cool 'lenovo' handle, that totally works if you dont try to carry the case using just it.

Yeah it's incredible they have managed to make decent heat sinks for GPU, but system designs like this make them look clueless.

Fools and money, that is all. Next.

 

[Kohl Baas]

And abysmal cooling as I see on that case...

 

[Animalpak]

I have the same graphics card and you cant imagine how much hot air is that thing generating, in that position is even worse.

Look the AIO will suck all the hot air from the GPU and raise up the CPU temp for no reason.

 

[AnarchoPrimitiv]

Well... At least their offering SKUs with AMD CPUs now, instead of only offering the 9700k and 9900k

 

[dinmaster]

lose the handle... as a minimum

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

meh. decent specs, but that case could be lighted better.
