Benchmarks: Noise
Hoping Asus has miraculously managed to squeeze a Core i7 processor and GTX 1060 graphics into a console-sized chassis with practically silent cooling? Prepare to be disappointed, though it shouldn't come as a surprise to learn that the ROG GR8 II isn't quiet. Noise levels ramp-up quickly when either processor is pushed, and the system gets frustratingly loud when gaming.
Is noise a deal breaker? That depends on how you intend to use such a machine. At a LAN party the noise will go unnoticed, but it isn't quiet enough to sit peacefully alongside a TV.
