ASUS ROG NUC 2025 Mini Gaming PC Coming to the Philippines by End of Q3 2025

ASUS Republic of Gamers is set to launch its powerful new ROG NUC 2025 mini gaming PC in the Philippines by the end of the third quarter of 2025. This compact but mighty system packs desktop-level performance into a small 2.8-liter chassis, giving gamers a high-performance option that fits easily on any desk.

At the heart of the ROG NUC 2025 is Intel’s latest Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, featuring 24 cores, 36 MB of cache, and boost speeds up to 5.4 GHz. This CPU pairs with NVIDIA’s newest laptop GPUs from the RTX 50-series, including the flagship RTX 5080, which supports DLSS 4 frame-generation technology. This AI-driven tech improves game frame rates, reduces latency, and enhances image quality for smoother, more immersive gameplay.

Despite its compact size, measuring just 282 x 187.7 x 56.5 mm and weighing 3.12 kg, the NUC 2025 does not compromise on cooling. ASUS’s QuietFlow system uses a triple-fan layout combined with dual vapor chambers to keep temperatures in check under heavy load.

Memory-wise, it supports up to 96 GB of DDR5-6400 RAM through two SO-DIMM slots, and offers flexible storage with one PCIe 5.0 NVMe M.2 slot and one PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 slot, ideal for fast SSDs. Connectivity options are extensive, including Thunderbolt 4 USB-C with DisplayPort 2.1, four USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, two HDMI 2.1 FRL ports, two DisplayPort 2.1 connections, and a 2.5G Ethernet port. Wireless connectivity is powered by Intel Killer WiFi 7 BE1750X and Bluetooth 5.4.

ASUS also includes customizable Aura Sync ARGB lighting, tool-less access for easy upgrades, and pre-installs Windows 11 Home. The system comes with a 330W power adapter that meets DOE Level VI efficiency standards.

In the Philippines, the ROG NUC 2025 will be available in two main configurations:

• ROG NUC 2025 with RTX 5080: PHP 162,000
• ROG NUC 2025 with RTX 5070 Ti: PHP 125,000

This release highlights ASUS’s push to bring high-end desktop gaming performance into smaller, more versatile PC builds, perfect for gamers and creators looking for power in a compact form.
