ASUS Republic of Gamers Announces Strix G35CA

ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) today announced the Strix G35CA, a next-generation desktop gaming PC for Windows 11 powered by the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU. The motherboard is built on the all-new Intel Z790 chipset, a robust platform with DDR5, PCI Express (PCIe) 4.0 and WiFi 6E support, ensuring that the G35CA will be a high-performance gaming machine for years to come.

ROG Strix machines are built to power high-performance gaming experiences, and the ROG Strix G35CA is no exception—being powered by up to the 24 core 32 thread Intel Core i9-13900KF processor. Built using Intel's Raptor Lake architecture, the CPU uses a mix of high-powered performance cores and energy-friendly but powerful efficiency cores. This CPU is optimized for Windows 11 and can intelligently allocate tasks between the cores to maintain high performance without sacrificing power efficiency, giving users a seamless gaming experience. With maximum boost clocks of up to 5.8 GHz, this processor is the clear choice for gamers who demand the very best hardware.
Flagship graphics power
A powerful CPU deserves to be paired with a flagship GPU, so the G35CA features up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. With 24 GB of ultra-high speed GDDR6X video RAM, gamers can crank all of the textures to max with plenty of memory to spare. With high performance RTX and Tensor cores, the GeForce RTX 3090 is equipped to support immersive ray tracing, as well as ultra-efficient video encoding for any gamer that wants to stream their gameplay. The Strix G35CA is the desktop that can do it all.

Next-generation hardware changes
While the CPU and GPU are both high-octane hardware, ROG has not neglected the other critical system components. The G35CA supports up to 64 GB of high-speed 4800 MHz DDR5 memory. Pairing high capacity with high speed, the G35CA will support even the most intensive multitasking or content-creation projects without breaking a sweat.

For gamers with a large library, up to dual 1 TB boot SSDs plus up to two 2 TB hard disk drives ensure they can keep every game downloaded and ready to play. PCIe 4.0 support unlocks the full bandwidth of the GeForce RTX 3090 and additional PCIe 4.0 add-on cards, with full backwards compatibility for PCIe 3.0 devices.

The G35CA also supports the latest WiFi 6E standard, unlocking a whole new wireless band in supported countries. For users without a WiFi 6E connection, full support for existing wireless protocols ensures they'll always be connected.

Yikes. That's way too gaudy and overly designed. Clean and simple is good.

Asus has a standard midtower version of this chassis, and it's beyond terrible. It comes with just a single 90mm exhaust fan with no places to mount a fan in the front for intake. I know some people who tried to buy and fix up one of Asus' prebuilts with that chassis during the GPU shortage, and it was beyond saving. Just an abysmal design. The cherry on top was the low CPU cooler clearance, preventing you from using any tower coolers with 120mm fans (and the case had no radiator support)

This new chassis design doesn't seem any better. It's dual chamber now, for some reason, but they don't actually take advantage of this by having direct bottom intake. They're taking the best thing about dual-chamber design and throwing it away for no reason. The front "intake" seems just as restrictive and I wouldn't be surprised if you still can't mount a fan there. The exhaust fan looks like it's still 90mm, which also means you still can't install a half-decent CPU cooler. They made the case extra wide without actually enabling standard 120mm fans/tower coolers. What's even the point?

I bought one of their 11700K/16GB/RTX 3080 rigs a couple of years ago or so, and it was freaking terrible. Case was cheap and hard to work in, everything ran hot and loud - esp the 3080 TUF. I had also bought an HP Omen (30L I think?) that was a 5800X/16GB/RTX 3080 about the same time. It cost about $100 more IRCC, but just oozed quality. So much so that I didn't hock it all just before the crypto crash. The HP RTX 3080 would run 10-20 C cooler than the Asus TUF all day long, and run quieter & faster at the same time. We had also bought an Asus TUF gaming laptop with an RTX 3060 in it. Again - som' bitch is HOT and loud.

Just sayin' - you can't impress me Asus. I won't touch another one of their PC's without seeing a solid independant review. It's all marketing fluff it seems. I'm even leaning against your mainboards these days. Next one will probably be an MSI.
