Computex 2015 - Day 2

Computex 2015 - Asus

We also managed to drop by the Asus booth to check out the latest goings on in the worlds of ROG, TUF and other components.


G-Sync was a big theme of the ROG room, from the G-Sync enabled G751 gaming notebook to the ROG PG27AQ, a 4K IPS G-Sync enabled panel displayed in full, triple screen Nvidia Surround glory, and finally the seriously sexy 34in curved G-Sync screen which again uses an IPS panel.


Asus also spoke of its new ROG Certified program, which was mentioned on the previous page with regards to the In-Win H-Tower. It is designed as a customer assurance program, and certified products have been tested and validated by Asus's own ROG engineers. It will be clearly displayed on product packaging.


Next we saw the new the ROG Claymore, and RGB gaming keyboard and another that's taking advantage of Corsair's expired exclusivity on Cherry MX RGB switches, with Red, Blue, Brown and Black all available. It has a detachable numpad, is encased in a magnesium alloy chassis and indivdually customisable key lighting.


As you're probably aware, Nvidia's GTX 980 Ti launched this week, and Asus is ready with its Strix version. This is the first time we've seen custom cooling on a GM200-based card as Titan X only ships with its reference cooler. The Strix GTX 980 Ti has Asus's triple fan DirectCU III cooler fitted that promises to be 30 percent cooler and three times quieter than reference as well as offering semi-passive operation. Super Alloy Power II components are said to provide aerospace-grade quality and reliability.


Lastly, Asus teased a Z170 motherboard, although it should be noted it is a work in progress design.

Thanks to all the companies from today for meeting us and showing us around. Stay tuned for further updates from Taipei in the coming days!
