Adamant Custom 24-Core Liquid Cooled Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 192GB DDR5 1TB NVMe 10TB HDD Gaming PC

System overview

This Adamant Custom gaming desktop PC is built around a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor running at 3.7 GHz with a maximum turbo of 5.70 GHz. It ships with 192 GB of DDR5 memory, a 1 TB NVMe solid-state drive and a 10 TB hard drive for bulk storage. A 360 mm liquid cooler keeps the CPU at temperature inside a black tempered-glass tower case. The system arrives with Windows 11 Pro installed.

Who this suits

Creators and professionals who need high core counts and large memory capacity for rendering, compilation or virtualisation will benefit from the 24 cores and 192 GB of DDR5. The integrated graphics provide USB4 and DisplayPort video outputs for multi-monitor productivity without a discrete card. Builders who require dedicated graphics performance for high-refresh gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads should look at a different configuration.

Deciding specification

The processor uses the LGA 1851 socket and is paired with a Gigabyte Z890 motherboard that offers Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4 and 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. Four memory slots are populated to reach the 192 GB maximum supported by the platform. Storage combines a Samsung 990 Pro PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive rated at 7 450 MB/s read and 6 900 MB/s write with a 10 TB SATA hard drive. An 850 W 80 PLUS Bronze power supply delivers power to all components.
