ROG Iceblade X: Compact gaming PC comes with water cooling and RTX 4070 Super

Asus is offering two new and rather compact gaming desktop PCs with high performance under the ROG brand. The Iceblade X is offered in two model variants, namely the Intel Core i7-14700KF and the Intel Core i9-14900KF. An RTX 4070 Super is installed in both models as the GPU and the RAM is also 32 GB either way.

Asus utilizes water cooling in order to adequately address waste heat, a major problem of compact PC systems. But this only cools the processor, while the graphics card is cooled conventionally with the help of fans.

The 11.5 x 32.3 x 28.69 cm PC has a volume of just 10 liters and comes with Aura Sync-compatible RGB lighting. Numerous connectivity options are available, such as several USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports in type A, as well as USB 2.0 and audio connections. Three DisplayPort 1.4a ports and HDMI 2.1 are on board. A wired connection to a network is possible via Ethernet at up to 2.5 Gbit/s, but a wireless module is also available. This allows the use of WiFi 6E and thus a low-latency, wireless connection with high throughput.

At present, there is only information regarding a release in China. There, the Iceblade X with the Core i7 processor will be offered at a regular price of around $2075, while the version with the more powerful Core i9-14900KF will be priced at around $2350.
