Asus G11CB technical specifications

Asus G11CB

Asus gives us a simple presentation with a box of usual tower dimensions and robust enough to withstand shipping to its final destination. On the front we find a screen-printed image of the box and that it is a desktop computer. Once we open it we find a very complete bundle:

• Asus G11CB tower Keyboard and mouse Power cord Instruction manual Warranty card

The Asus G11CB has very compact dimensions being an ATX box. It has dimensions of 141 mm x 141 mm x 29 mm and weighs 9.78 KG. On the front we find a very bright design in the bay area of ​​5.25 ″. It incorporates 4 USB 3.0 connections and a card reader.

Both sides are identical and is characterized by using red tones to give an aggressive touch. When we turn we look at the rear area we see the output of a power supply, the output of the fan, all the output of the motherboard and the graphics card.

Being a very compact box the organization of the wiring is quite complicated. With a little more cunning and an improved design they could have improved this problem. At first glance we are seeing that the cooling system may be just.

Among its components we find an Intel Skylake (LGA 1151) i7-6700 processor that consists of four cores with HyperThreading technology, running a frequency of 4GHz, 8MB of cache and a TDP of 65W. We also have two DDR4 memory chips that total 16GB at 2133 MHz.

At the storage level, it has a 240GB M.2 Transcend disk that will offer us read and write speeds of over 500MB / s. For application and data storage it has a 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive.

One of its strongest points is the incorporation of a 4GB Geforce GTX 980 graphics card. Able to move any game to 1080p and 1440p.

On connectivity, it includes a Bluetooth module and a Wifi 802.11 AC card . And an integrated sound card that is compatible with a 7.1 sound system. Along with the proper cooling, I did not like the power supply (Delta DPS-500AB-6), I think that at the price of the desktop computer, a source could have been chosen. with greater power, modular and with an excellent certification.

Test of performance

Final words and conclusion

Asus has created one of the best desktop computers on the market, the Asus G11CB offers outstanding performance thanks to the high-quality components chosen. They have opted for a Skylake i7-6700 processor that runs at 4GHz as standard, 16GB of Dual Channel RAM and one of the best graphics card on the market, the reference Nvidia GTX 980. In storage they have opted for a 240GB M.2 SSD system and a 7200 RPM 1TB data drive.

In our tests we have seen that games like Battlefield 4 has obtained an average of 95 FPS and others like Tomb Raider have shot up to 120 FPS. The temperature of the equipment is good with 32º at rest and 55ºC at maximum performance. We are sure that if they had chosen another interior cooling design they would get better temperatures.
