At Computex 2013 ASUS showcases its ROG (Republic of Gamers) lineup with a focus on high end graphics and motherboard integration. The Poseidon graphics card is highlighted for its built in liquid cooling options and custom cooling hardware that combines air cooling with water cooling, along with ready access to high performance fittings. The Maximus VI Formula and Impact motherboards are presented as part of a broader ROG ecosystem, featuring advanced power delivery, bespoke cooling solutions, and dedicated audio solutions designed to deliver gaming performance and immersion. The presentation emphasizes unique design decisions such as external PCBs for enhanced audio on mini ITX boards, direct copper mini GPUs, and a suite of features aimed at gamers including an OC panel, game recording button, and robust cooling architectures. Throughout, ASUS ties these components into a cohesive platform that leverages ROG branding to push performance, overclocking capabilities, and aesthetic appeal. The overall takeaway is that ASUS is aggressively pushing a high end, modular gaming platform where hardware choices are tightly integrated to maximize gaming experience and overclocking potential. The coverage also notes practical considerations like upgradability of fittings, the potential for hybrid or liquid cooling, and the visual emphasis of the ROG design language across both GPUs and motherboards. In summary, the ASUS Computex 2013 showcase positions ROG as the go to ecosystem for enthusiasts seeking extreme performance, customizable cooling, and premium audio in a compact, design driven package.
