Asus has announced its latest monitor lineup at Computex 2026, including what it claims is the world's first 24.5-inch OLED esports monitor, the ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace.

The ROG Strix OLED XG259QWPG Ace features an FHD TrueBlack Glossy Tandem WOLED panel with a 540Hz refresh rate and a 0.2ms response time. Due to its new-gen panel, it delivers a higher peak brightness and a longer lifespan compared to older WOLED models.

For high-resolution gaming, Asus introduced the 31.5-inch ROG Swift OLED PG32UCWM, featuring a 4K Tandem RGB OLED panel with an RGB Stripe Pixel layout and Dual Mode function, allowing users to switch between 4K/240Hz and 1080p/480Hz.

Additionally, Asus also introduced the ROG Strix OLED XG32UQWMS, which is another 4K ‘dual mode' Tandem OLED display, and the ROG Strix 5K XG27JCEG, which offers an even higher 5K resolution at an 80Hz refresh rate. The Strix 5K has Dual Mode functionality too, so it can also run at QHD/320Hz.

For the mid-range gaming segment, Asus updated the TUF Gaming Series 5 with the 34-inch VG34WQML5F and the 27-inch VG27AQML5F. The former uses a curved Fast VA monitor featuring a 0.5ms response time and Dual Mode, allowing users to switch between WQHD (3440x1440) at 240Hz and HD at 480Hz. Meanwhile, the VG27AQML5F has a QHD IPS panel with a 320Hz refresh rate and a 0.3ms GTG response time.

The professional line is led by the ProArt Display OLED PA32USD, a 31.5-inch 4K QD-OLED featuring a 240Hz refresh rate, 1000-nit peak brightness, and dual 12G-SDI inputs. The 26.5-inch PA279CDV and 31.5-inch PA329CDV also use 4K QD-OLED panels.

Technically speaking, it's true, even if the XBOX Ally X is actually manufactured by ASUS.

Silicon Power has announced the launch of the XPower Cyclone R DDR5 memory module, a new addition to its performance-focused gaming lineup. As this memory is developed in collaboration with Asus as part of the brand's 20th-anniversary, the module has official ROG-certified status.

The memory module is built on the standard DDR5 architecture, delivering operating speeds of up to 6000MT/s. To maintain reliability under heavy processing loads, the hardware incorporates onboard power management integrated circuits (PMICs) and native on-die Error Correction Code (ECC) technology. The modules also include built-in profiles for AMD EXPO, providing automated overclocking configurations for AMD Ryzen-based PCs.

The design utilises a phantom-black aluminium heat spreader with reverse-slanted gradient lines. There is also an ARGB light bar on the top, which as you would expect, supports Asus Aura Sync. Silicon Power will display the XPower Cyclone R DDR5 memory kits at Computex 2026, which starts next week.

The Intel Core i9-14900KF has become the first processor to break past the 9.2GHz clock frequency barrier, setting a new world record. Achieved by Chinese overclocker wytiwx, the processor reached 9,206MHz, surpassing the previous record in the HWBOT database.

As noted by Wccftech, the record-breaking entry was achieved using liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling. To maintain stability during the validation, the processor was configured with only seven cores and seven threads enabled. Validation data shows the Core i9-14900KF was running at a core voltage of 1.348V. The test platform used an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Apex motherboard alongside 16GB of DDR5 memory operating at 5792MHz with CL32 timings.

Out of the box, the Intel Core i9-14900KF features a 24-core, 32-thread configuration with eight P-cores and 16 E-cores. It includes 36MB of L3 cache, 32MB of L2 cache, a base TDP of 125W, a maximum turbo power of 253W, and a stock maximum turbo frequency of 6.00GHz.

The HWBOT database shows that only two CPU submissions have broken the 9GHz threshold. The new 9,206MHz submission holds the top spot, followed by a 9,117MHz achievement on an Intel Core i9-14900KS by Elmor. The highest-ranking AMD entry currently sits in seventh place, achieved with an FX-8370 pushed to 8722MHz.

KitGuru says: How long do you think it will take for overlockers to break the 10GHz barrier?

Asus has entered the enthusiast computer memory market with the launch of its first ROG-branded RAM modules, the ROG DDR5 RGB Edition 20. Developed in partnership with Biwin, the special-edition memory kits feature a black-and-red aesthetic with gold accents to mark the 20th anniversary of the ROG brand.

According to VideoCardz, the kit is sold in a 48GB configuration, consisting of two 24GB DIMMs, each using SK Hynix M-Die integrated circuits. Out of the box, the memory operates at a base speed of DDR5-6000 with tight primary timings of CL26-36-36-76 at 1.45V. For universal hardware compatibility across current AMD Ryzen and Intel Core desktop platforms, the modules support both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP memory profiles.

A defining feature of this kit is the “ROG Mode” dual-profile configuration extension that unlocks advanced performance metrics when paired with Asus ROG Crosshair, ROG Maximus, or ROG Strix motherboards. Through this BIOS-level implementation, users can alternate between the low-latency 6000 MT/s gaming configuration and a high-bandwidth 8000 MT/s profile running at CL36-48-48-110 at 1.40V. Also, the modules have a top-edge addressable RGB light bar that can be integrated with Asus Aura Sync profiles.

Alongside the launch, the company formalised the “ROG Certified Memory Program”. Under this initiative, 14 major third-party memory vendors, including Corsair, G.Skill, Kingston, and TeamGroup, can manufacture and badge their own consumer kits with official ROG certification. These approved modules will natively support Aura Sync RGB lighting and gain access to custom ROG Mode sub-timing profiles.

The ROG DDR5 RGB Edition 20 is launching first in China, priced at 5,999 yuan, which converts to roughly £661, and carries a lifetime product warranty.
