ASUS Republic of Gamers today announced ROG Delta and ROG Delta Core, a new series of gaming headsets tuned especially for first-person shooter (FPS) gaming. The headsets feature Sony-certified Hi-Res Audio and are designed to be incredibly lightweight and comfortable.

ASUS has just launched their Republic of Gamers (ROG) Ryujin line of all-in-one (AiO) liquid CPU coolers, specifically designed for AMD's Ryzen Threadripper processors. These are positioned above the ROG Ryuo series. We got our first look at these coolers at Computex 2018.

When it comes to ASUS motherboards you have quite a lot of choices, many users opt for their Republic of Gamers boards, but their Prime line is actually quite good. We've used a "Prime" motherboard as our baseline board for processor testing for both Intel and AMD for the past couple of years. These boards might not have all of the flash that the ROG series does, but they are extremely reliable and are still packed with features. For the Ryzen refresh the main "Prime" board from ASUS is their Prime X470-PRO. This board features a slick design with silver heatsinks and an integrated M.2 cooler as well. You also have support for DDR4 3466 MHz memory, USB 3.1, dual M.2 slots, and even some RGB lighting. Is this the board you need for your Ryzen build? Read on as we find out!

ASUS today announced that the ROG Strix, Prime and TUF Gaming series motherboards built on the AMD B450 chipset and supporting the latest AMD Ryzen processors are now available. AMD's Ryzen platform offers an incredible desktop compute experience with multithreaded horsepower plus accessible overclocking and gaming prowess.

ASUS is working on at least 19 motherboards for the "Coffee Lake-S" refresh. The Z390 chipset is basically a re-branding of the current Z370 chipset with a stronger reference CPU VRM to cope with Intel's upcoming 8-core, 16-thread "Wiskey Lake" processors. ASUS's Z390 lineup will be made up of Maximus XI, STRIX, Prime, TUF and Dragon series boards.

You are paying an extra $160 for a sicker, yes a sticker! Two of the exact same graphics cards, made by the exact same manufacturer, in the exact same factory are priced $160 apart. The only difference between the two is that one has an AREZ stick on it and the other has an ROG sticker on it. This is all caused by NVIDIA's GeForce Partner Program.

At Computex ASUS has been showing a lot of new products, one of them is their new Republic of Gamers (ROG) Thor 1200W Platinum Power Supply. This 1200W unit is said to be made by Seasonic, based on their Prime Platinum platform. While ASUS was showing off the 1200W version, it will be delivered in an 850W version as well.

Back in November 2017 Razer sort of shocked the mobile world by releasing their own phone, which was aimed towards mobile gamers. It looks like ASUS is getting into the game as they have just announced the ROG Gaming Phone. ASUS seems to be pulling out all of the stops with this new smartphone.

ASUS has just introduced one of its first crypto-currency mining motherboards based on Intel's 300-series chipset platform. This is great news for miners as cheaper Pentium Gold and Celeron processors for this platform are now available. The board is the H370 Mining Master and will put out 20 PCI-Express gen 3.0 lanes as x1 slots.
