More ASUS ROG news at Gamescom
During the event, ASUS has shown us so many products that it has been almost overwhelming; Up to now we have told you about those that we consider most important, but we have been able to see many others that we are going to try to summarize in this section so as not to extend ourselves so much. To begin with, we have a box ROG Hyperion GR701 White Edition.
But we have also seen the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 with a liquid cooling system that we had already told you about previously, or the new power supply ROG Loki SFX-L 1200W Titanium, a wonder in small size. We’ve also seen the new mechanical switches ROG NX Snowas well as tempered glass mats ROG Moonstone Ace L, or the new controller ROG Raikiri Pro with an LCD screen that we also told you about a few days ago.
But without a doubt, one of the most interesting things, and one that we have also talked about in previous weeks, is motherboards with a concept RTXConnectplates that have a hidden connector to serve the new NVIDIA RTX 40 Series graphics that, as you well know, require the 12VHPWR PCIe 5.0 connector.
Without a doubt, ASUS has started -in advance- Gamescom 2023 in style, in an incredible event in which they have not stopped leaving the attendees with their mouths open and in which they have not only shown us their news , but we have also been able to see them first-hand and truly savor how and what the brand is working on.
