CoolingVapour chamber RazerEnd-to-end vapor chamber, sandwiched heatsink, tri-fan; Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on the CPU

According to ASUS, liquid metal is applied to the GPU only on RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti versions, so this RTX 5060 version has none on the GPU. Hot air exits behind the hinge.

Graphics—NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR7; ROG Boost 1610 MHz at 115 W (100 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

115 W is the highest total power the GPU can draw: 15 W of Dynamic Boost is added to the 100 W base limit when the processor is lightly loaded. 1610 MHz is the 1560 MHz boost clock plus a 50 MHz factory overclock. GPUs in the stronger G615 versions go up to 140 W.

ASUS
Memory—16 GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; two SO-DIMM slots, up to 64 GB, dual-channel capable

This SKU has a single 16 GB module; adding a second module lets the memory run in dual channel. Memory speed may vary with what the processor supports.

ASUS
Storage—512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; two M.2 PCIe slots

Both SSD slots use the screwless Q-Latch retainer. ASUS says both slots are PCIe Gen 5 ready; the bundled SSD is PCIe 4.0.
