ROG STRIX SCAR 17
BEAT THE BEST. BE THE BEST.
PIXEL PERFECT POWER
Draw more frames and win more games with the raw horsepower of the brand new 2022 ROG Strix SCAR 17 with Windows 11. Tackle any enemy with an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX Laptop GPU with up to a 150W max TGP. Leave loading screens behind thanks to PCIe Gen4 solid state storage. With DDR5 memory bringing more bandwidth than ever before, the SCAR is ready to leave the competition in the dust.
12th Gen Intel Core i9 CPUs
Power through any game or project with up to an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, with a hybrid architecture made from the ground up for Windows 11. With up to 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, AAA gaming and streaming is effortless.
Blazing Fast DDR5 Memory
Leveraging the brand new DDR5 standard, enjoy a huge generational performance jump to 4800MHz, with write times 50% quicker than DDR4 equipped machines. This ultra fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing.
Better. Faster. Stronger.
Take on even the biggest projects with confidence and a PCIe Gen4 SSD. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s, massive files and large games will load in the blink of an eye.
Get more with MUX
Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to cutting-edge GPUs. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 150W, thanks to the extra 25W available with Dynamic Boost. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from these graphics cards, making sure you have the absolute best gaming experience.
Modern gaming laptops route frames from the GPU through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This provides better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we're bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that minimizes latency and boosts performance by an average of 15%.

ROG Intelligent Cooling
Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The SCAR uses liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and four dedicated fan outlets to efficiently transfer heat out of the system. ROG Intelligent Cooling enables critical components like the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for longer periods of time, keeping your framerate smooth and steady even during extended gaming sessions. The 2022 Strix SCAR also upgraded to Thermal Grizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal on the CPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme can keep these components up to 15°C cooler than standard thermal pastes. The SCAR keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the Strix SCAR does not exceed 40 dB of noise.
Liquid Metal with Conductonaut Extreme
Cooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to liquid metals, which are extremely effective at transferring thermal energy between surfaces like a processor die and heatsink. Over a year of testing with various processors, ROG engineers observed reductions in temperatures up to 15°C with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and stops fans from ramping up and making noise.
*Temperature improvements compared to regular thermal paste, as tested internally by ASUS. Thermal conductivity compared to industry standard.
Upgraded Arc Flow Fans
Updated Arc Flow Fans feature curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. Laptop fan blades are typically the same thickness throughout, but our new design can get as thin as 0.1mm at the base before expanding toward the tip. Varying the thickness minimizes turbulence as the fan blades accelerate air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.
0dB Ambient Cooling
Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with 0dB Technology. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all fans during everyday tasks to dissipate heat passively. This allows you to concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
0.1mm ultra thin fin
Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks, each lined with ultrathin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, enabling for higher density for heat dissipation and lower air resistance to allow for smoother flow. There are up to 218 heatsink fins totaling 107,131mm² of surface area.
Anti-Dust Tunnels
Our upgraded thermal module design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave up to 5% more space around the fan, enhancing airflow by up to 15%. Preventing the buildup of dust ensures the long-term stability and reliability of your system.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR LOOK
Customizable Armor Caps enable you to add extra flair to your machine. Select from three bundled options in the box, or 3D your own with downloadable templates for a 100% unique design. The semi-translucent palm rest gives you a sneak peek at the internals, and redesigned rubber feet help to remove vibrations for smooth, quiet gaming sessions. Coupled with colorful accents, the sporty feel of the Strix SCAR resonates across the entire chassis.
CHANGE UP YOUR LOOK
Add a pop of personality to your chassis with Customizable Armor Caps. Two extra color options come in the box and swap out effortlessly, letting you switch up your style anytime. For a fully customized touch, we also have a 3D printing template that makes it simple to create original looks of your own.
LIGHTNING FAST, CRYSTAL CLEAR
You can’t beat the enemy if you can’t see them coming. The Strix SCAR has ultra fast panel options for every scenario, ensuring you’ll never miss a moment. The 17” machine provides up to FHD 360Hz or QHD 240Hz. With refresh rates that fast and response times of just 3ms, you can make pixel perfect decisions even in the most frenetic firefights. Each IPS panel also provides fantastic color, Dolby Vision HDR, and Adaptive-Sync for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
STUDIO-QUALITY SOUND
Dolby Atmos-powered speakers include two tweeters and two downward firing woofers to create an authentic sound stage for your games. Hi-Res audio makes sure you hear your music in the same quality it was recorded. Two Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats and streams come through without distraction.
TWO-WAY AI NOISE CANCELATION
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, allowing you to remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.
PRESS THE ATTACK
Built to last, the Strix SCAR's keyboard switches are rated to last over 20 million presses. The WASD keys can rest easy, durable enough to stand the test of time. Per-key RGB lighting enables for unlimited flexibility via Aura Sync, including game specific lighting layouts.
Keyboard layout
Taking inspiration from the best desktop keyboards, the function keys are spaced for fewer misses, and enlarged directional arrows are isolated for precise finger control. Five dedicated gaming hotkeys provide quick access to features like volume, mic mute, and Armoury Crate.
Dedicated hotkeys
Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to the volume and mic mute controls, operating modes, and Armoury Crate. They are also fully customizable, and can be programmed to launch apps, set as a function key, or utilized as a macro. The Strix SCAR has all of the tools for victory.
ALL DAY ENDURANCE
