The new generation of ROG Ice Blade has become an eye-catching model among high-performance mini hosts, equipped with the flagship Core i9-14900KF processor. Additionally, it aims to break barriers in the mini hosts category, as ROG Ice Blade X, is now equipped with a 14th-generation Core i9 processor.
Design
ROG Ice Blade X is not much larger than a basketball with a body height of only about 28.5cm and a body volume of approximately 10L. This size places it in the realm of mini ITX case players and is considered an excellent size control among ITX cases.
This compact chassis is suitable for placement on the desktop. It occupies only a small space and allows you to enjoy the chassis’s cool appearance without the need to bend down under the table for operations such as plugging and unplugging devices or turning them on and off the computer. The chassis inherits the signature handsome style of the ROG family, featuring sharp geometric cuts, cool RGB lighting effects, and the iconic ROG logo, all of which contribute to the allure of the Ice Blade X.
ROG Ice Blade X also incorporates a tool-free quick-release design. You can swiftly remove the top panel via the snap button on the front panel, while you can easily pull out the left and right side panels. This convenience allows players to clean the dust inside the chassis, upgrade the configuration, and simplify debugging and disassembly.
To enhance performance within the small 10L chassis space, ROG Ice Blade X offers a sophisticated water-cooling system. This system enables the processor to deliver powerful performance while maintaining quiet operation without high-speed fan noise interference.
Hardware
Inside the ultra-compact chassis, the configuration pairs the Supreme Core i9-14900KF processor with the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, creating a true performance monster. The 14th generation Core i9-14900KF, featuring an upgraded Intel 7 process, boasts 24 cores and 32 threads, along with a 36MB L3 cache and a maximum core frequency of up to 6.0GHz. These powerful single-core data specifications ensure top-tier gaming performance and the ability to tackle any game challenge.
The high-performance mini e-sports console, ROG Ice Blade X, comes equipped with a powerful GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, ensuring users can fully enjoy a stunning visual experience with special effects. The graphics card uses the new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring a video memory of up to 12GB GDDR6X and an astonishing 5888 CUDA cores. The GeForce RTX 4070 excels in-game rendering, delivering a more realistic scene with clear and true details when it fully enables special effects. 3.0 and real-time ray tracing technology elevate the gaming experience, empowering these performance parameters.
For gamers interested in live streaming, the GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card offers efficient video encoding capabilities while maintaining high-quality image output. In work scenarios such as video editing, the use of AV1 encoding technology further enhances the efficiency of live video output, making post-production work smoother.
Regarding storage, ROG Ice Blade X offers a configuration of 2x16GB DDR5 high-speed memory and a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 SSD. This combination of high-speed memory and solid-state storage reduces waiting times and increases speed in game-related activities such as reading, loading, and running. With games now demanding hundreds of gigabytes of storage, ROG Ice Blade X ensures that hardware storage speed meets these requirements without any shortcomings.
