Cooling Design
INTELLIGENT COOLING IMPROVES YOUR EXPERIENCE
ROG's Intelligent Cooling philosophy mixes the right features and system settings to ensure the best experience for each situation. The Strix SCAR III augments its well-ventilated exterior with a self-cleaning thermal module that ejects dust to improve longevity. Dual n-Blade fans spin 83 blades to increase airflow, and ultra-thin fins expand the surface area for heat dissipation. ROG Armoury Crate software seamlessly switches between operating modes to optimize performance and acoustics for the task.

Aura Sync
AURA SHINES BRIGHTER THAN EVER
Dim the lights and let Aura Sync take center stage. RGB glows behind the metallic ROG logo splashed across the lid, and illumination extends to the optional light bar wrapped around the outer rim of the chassis. Clear edges around the keys and transparent WASD caps highlight crucial keyboard commands. Access the full spectrum of colors and effects in the Aura control panel to let your personality shine, and add your favorite Aura Sync devices to make a matching gaming environment all your own.

Connectivity
SUSTAIN THE STRONGEST WI-FI SIGNAL
ROG RangeBoost technology ensures the most stable Wi-Fi signal possible. The unique RangeBoost algorithm evaluates the signal strength of four internal antennas and picks the best pair to use for your location, minimizing dead spots and increasing wireless range by up to 30%. Paired with the latest Intel® 802.11ac (2x2) Gigabit Wi-Fi, which offers peak wireless bandwidth of up to 1.7Gbps, you can connect and game at speed almost anywhere.

STRIKE WITH PRECISION
Get a competitive edge in esports on a durable keyboard designed for precise play.

Built to withstand over 20 million keypresses, the Strix SCAR III can maintain its accuracy and reliability over a long lifespan of serious gaming.

Audio
A SOUND ADVANTAGE
Immersive, side-firing speakers put you in the thick of the action. Smart Amp technology monitors audio output and makes real-time adjustments to keep the speakers within thermal and excursion limits, preventing damage to the cones. The resulting sound has less noise distortion, higher dynamic range, more bass, and significantly higher potential output. Pump up the volume and hear every enemy movement, firefight, and environmental audio cue in the game.
