The ROG Strix GL12CX is one of the few desktop gaming PCs currently on the market that combines the dynamism of the RTX 2080 and the Intel i9-9900K, both of which we know plenty about individually. What’s special about this power-couple is that the CPU comes factory-overclocked to up to 4.9GHz full octa-core—and it’s all packed under an all-in-one, liquid-cooled system that is so silent you’ll forget it’s on. The hardware package alone seems like a good investment if you’re the kind of person who has to have all the latest tech, but don’t commit to spending your future holiday bonus just yet. Let’s talk specifics. 

Turned off, the solid black chassis captures the silent ninja look Asus was going for. The sharp edges and bold angles aggressively stare you down, challenging you to a duel. Turned on, small strips color glow from between the cracks, like a diamond emerging from a lump of coal in the daylight—the effect is beautifully subtle. The compact design is the same as the original GL12CM.
