Intel Core Ultra 9 285K gaming desktop

This ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 is a new gaming desktop PC built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor with 24 cores running at 5.7GHz. It includes 64GB of DDR5 memory, a 2TB NVMe SSD and a GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card with 16GB of GDDR7 memory. The system ships with Windows 11 Home installed and uses a 360mm liquid cooler.

PCI Express x16 graphics interface

The RTX 5080 connects through a PCI Express x16 slot, which sets the physical and electrical limit for the graphics card in this chassis. The 1000W power supply delivers the necessary headroom for the GPU and the 24-core CPU under load. No other expansion interfaces are described in the specifications.

LGA 1851 socket constraint

The motherboard uses the LGA 1851 socket, which accepts only Intel Core Ultra Series 2 processors. Builders who need a different socket or a second graphics card cannot use this platform. The four DDR5 slots are fully populated with the 64GB kit.
