Co-engineered with Cooler Master, this system supports a maximum 230W TDP for the 16-inch laptop. The liquid cooling activates when the GPU reaches 84°C and runs over the GPU VRAM to manage heat during intensive gaming sessions.
Complementing the cooling system is an AI-tuned triple-fan air-cooling system with over 6,300 individual intake vents. The laptop’s weight is balanced by a forged carbon chip-patterned lid.
