Adamant Custom 14-Core Liquid Cooled Gaming PC Intel Core Ultra 5 245K 192GB DDR5 8TB NVMe Radeon RX 9070 XT

Core specification

This Adamant Custom desktop is a new gaming and workstation PC built around a 14-core Intel Core Ultra 5 245K processor. It ships with 192GB of DDR5 memory and an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT graphics card with 16GB of video memory. The system runs Windows 11 Pro and is liquid cooled for sustained workloads.

Upgrade path

The configuration replaces a conventional air-cooled tower with a 240mm liquid cooler and a Z890-PLUS TUF motherboard that supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth5.4. The jump is worth it when you need 192GB of DDR5 across four slots and dual 4TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe drives delivering up to 7450 MB/s read and 6900 MB/s write speeds. Buyers who need more storage bays than the single 3.5-inch or dual 2.5-inch internal mounts provide should look elsewhere.

Build integration

A Thermaltake Smart 850W 80 PLUS Bronze power supply with Japanese main capacitors drives the components while the Ceres 300 mid-tower case measures 475 x 245 x 463 mm. Front and rear 140mm fans run at 1500rpm and 30dBA alongside the liquid cooler. Rear I/O includes Thunderbolt 4, USB 20Gbps and 10Gbps Type-C ports, Intel 2.5Gb Ethernet, and Realtek 7.1 surround audio. The motherboard reserves four SATA 6Gb/s ports and four M.2 connectors for future expansion.
