ASUS ROG HURACAN launches – Comes with Intel 8th Generation i7 CPU + GTX1080

ASUS ROG has recently announced their new small form factor desktop PC for the market. This will be replacing last year’s ASUS GR8 II.

The ASUS ROG Huracan (G21) will come with the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i7 Processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2666MHz and will be equipped with the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX1080 graphics card.

Unlike the GR8’s more conventional covered design, the new Huracan adopts a bold modular and semi-open design. The side panel can be “folded” to allow better airflow through the case, so as to better cool the components within. This new airflow design is said to improve the performance of the CPU and GPU by 11% and 8% respectively.

The ASUS ROG Huracan is inspired by a Cyberpunk design theme and is created with an aggressive and angular chassis with sharp creases (supposedly mimicking battle scars). It is amazing to see all the high-end hardware to be fitted into a small 13 litre chassis, which sets the Huracan apart from any other gaming desktops in the market. The Huracan has a very straightforward value proposition – it provides great gaming performance in a small form factor.

Moreover, the ASUS ROG Huracan also features an innovative 2.5 inch hard drive/SSD hot plug bay. By removing the bay cover located at the top of the chassis, you can simply slip a SSD in for quick access to your important files.

For the best possible gaming experience, the Huracan also comes with a dedicated ESS Cabre headphone DAC. It not only supports a high resolution 32bit/384KHz audio for a more immersive audio profile and realistic gaming sound effects, but also has the capabilities to automatically remove noise for unparalleled audio performance.

Of course, a gaming PC in 2018 is not complete with RGB. The ROG Huracan contains multiple RGB lightings, which can be controlled via ASUS Aura Sync software and technology. By default, the set up comes with 9 different lighting effects. Gamers can also set their preferred colours on the Huracan, and synchronize them with their other supported peripherals.
