Display: Never Miss a Moment

Every gamer sees the game differently. That’s why the TUF Gaming A16 offers two display options — one built for breathtaking visuals, the other for pure speed — so you never have to compromise.

OLED

For gamers who gravitate toward immersive, story‑driven experiences, the TUF Gaming A16 can be equipped with a stunning 2.5K OLED display featuring a silky-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. This 16:10 panel covers 100% of the DCI‑P3 colour space, delivering vivid colours and deep contrast, while 1100 nits of peak brightness and DisplayHDR True Black 1000 support brings games and video to life with greater realism—resulting in a more lifelike and immersive experience than ever before.

300Hz

When every millisecond counts, refresh rate is king. That’s why the TUF Gaming A16 can be configured with a blazing‑fast 2.5K display running at an ultra‑smooth 300Hz, so you can spot opponents and react before they even know you’re there.

• 2.5K: 2560x1600
• 300 Hz: Refresh rate
• 3ms: Response time
• 400 Nits: Typical brightness
• IPS: Panel
• 90%: Screen-to-body ratio

Cooling: Keep Your Cool

Powerful components require powerful cooling, so ASUS equipped the TUF Gaming A16 with a whole suite of technology to keep it running at peak performance. From the 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans inspired by aircraft engines to a full-width heatsink and integrated dust filters, the A16 will never lose its cool.

• 2nd Gen arc flow fans
• Full-width heatsink
• Full-width exhaust vent
• 38dB Performance mode

2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans

ASUS added small bends at the end of each of the 84 primary blades that improve both motor efficiency and turbulence. The fans also now feature a dual-impeller design, with a smaller set of 42 fan blades inside that allow more air to be sucked through with each rotation, similar to a jet turbine. These fans consume 16% less power while increasing airflow by 11%, enabling the high-performance components inside to run their very best.

• Up to 16% higher motor efficiency
• 84+42 Fan blades

Inward Airflow 2.0

The Arc Flow fan shrouds have small cutouts designed to channel small amounts of air into the chassis and over the mainboard, keeping surface-mounted components cooler during extended gaming sessions.

• 3°C Cooler surface temperature

Full-width Heatsink

The TUF Gaming A16 has a large full-width heatsink that spans the entire length of the laptop. The extra surface area allows ample room to transfer hot air out of the system, while also keeping the sides of the machine cool when you're using a mouse or other peripherals.

• 89% Heatsink-to-body ratio

0.1mm Ultra-thin Copper Fins

Thermal energy is dissipated by high-efficiency heatsinks, each lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1 mm. Higher density fins allow for increased heat dissipation and lower air resistance for smoother flow.

ODB Ambient Cooling

Enjoy truly silent cooling under light workloads with ODB Ambient Cooling technology. In the Silent operating mode, the cooling system switches off all its fans during light tasks to dissipate heat passively. This lets you concentrate on your work and immerse yourself in movies with less distraction. If CPU or GPU temperatures increase, the fans automatically switch on again.
