500 nits of peak brightness, and a response time of 3 milliseconds or less. This QHD, 16:10, 165 Hz Nebula HDR display uses Mini LEDs that are capable of 1100 nits of peak brightness. Nebula HDR is VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certified, boasting 512 dimming zones for excellent contrast. The Nebula Display is powered by AUO’s AmLED technology and the ROG Nebula HDR Engine, which uses incredibly precise backlights for local dimming that produces stunning contrast.
Next-level cooling
The Flow X16 features Thermal Grizzly liquid metal on the CPU and brand-new Frost Force Technology, which features two fans that direct airflow through precisely calculated cutouts and towards crucial internal components. A third auxiliary fan also assists with moving heat from the GPU directly to the new Pulsar Heatsink that covers the entire rear of the machine. Designed with ultra-dense fins just 0.1 mm thick, the Flow X16 sports a total of 110,902 mm² of heatsink surface area.
The addition of an auxiliary third fan keeps GPU temperatures 7°C cooler than traditional solutions, which allows the ROG Flow X16 to maintain high framerates during sustained gaming sessions in any of its four modes.
