ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 Gaming Desktop

This ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 is a liquid cooled gaming desktop PC built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 24 core processor running at 5.7GHz. It targets enthusiasts who want a fully assembled Windows 11 Home system with high end graphics and memory. Buyers needing a compact workstation or a budget office machine should look elsewhere.

128GB DDR5 memory and 4TB NVMe storage

The system ships with 128GB DDR5 RAM across four slots and a 4TB NVMe SSD for primary storage. This capacity handles modern AAA titles, heavy multitasking and large media libraries comfortably. Users planning extensive raw video archives or multiple virtual machines will eventually need additional drives.

RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 graphics on PCI Express x16

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 16GB GDDR7 connects via a PCI Express x16 slot and supports virtual reality workloads. The 1000W power supply and 360mm liquid cooler sustain the GPU and 24 core CPU under load. Builders requiring multi GPU configurations or specialised compute accelerators cannot expand this platform.

Questions about this item

Will the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with its LGA 1851 socket work with my existing DDR5 memory kit?

The system includes 128GB of DDR5 across four slots. Any additional DDR5 modules must match the platform's memory controller specifications for LGA 1851.

How can I confirm the 360mm liquid cooler is keeping the 24-core CPU at safe temperatures under load?

Monitor the CPU package temperature in the BIOS or ASUS Armoury Crate software; the 360mm radiator and pump should maintain stable thermals during sustained 5.7GHz operation.

Does the box contain the 1000W power supply cables needed for the RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7, or must I buy them separately?

The 1000W unit ships pre-installed with all required PCIe power connectors for the RTX 5080 already routed inside the chassis.
