Remove all the screws securing the back cover. The bottom cover of the ASUS ROG GX550LXS can be easily removed. The most striking feature inside the chassis is the cooling system with dual fans and five copper pipes.
This cooling system is called the Glacier Cooling Architecture 2.0 Pro. To improve heat transfer efficiency, it uses a large amount of liquid-metal thermal grease and employs baffles to prevent liquid-metal leakage. The retail price of its liquid metal thermal paste is nearly CNY 200/g, and ASUS invests heavily in laptop cooling technology.
The motherboard has two M.2 2280 slots, each housing a Samsung PM981a 1TB SSD configured in RAID 0 mode. This means the storage capacity shown in the system is 2TB.
The ROG GX550LXS motherboard is soldered with 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory, and a 16GB DDR4 3200MHz module is also installed in the SO-DIMM slot, for a total memory capacity of 32GB.
