ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 Ryzen 7 9800X3D RTX 5080 64GB DDR5 4TB NVMe 2TB HDD 1000W Liquid Cooled Gaming PC

Ready-to-play gaming desktop

The ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 arrives as a complete Windows 11 system built around an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 16-core processor running at 4.7GHz and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card with 16GB GDDR7 memory. It targets enthusiasts who want high-frame-rate 4K gaming and content creation without assembling parts themselves. The 64GB DDR5 memory and combined 4TB NVMe plus 2TB SATA III storage support large project libraries and fast level loading. Virtual reality headsets are supported out of the box.

Liquid-cooled chassis with 360mm radiator

A 360mm liquid cooler handles the CPU thermal load inside the Helios GX601 case, keeping the 16-core chip stable during extended sessions. The 1000W power supply feeds the RTX 5080 over a PCI Express x16 link and leaves headroom for the storage array and RGB lighting. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity are integrated for wireless peripherals and network access. Component brands may vary between units, so the exact cooler pump design or power-supply modularity can differ from promotional images.

Platform limits on AM5 and PCIe 5.0

The AM5 socket on this board supports one processor, so the installed Ryzen 7 9800X3D cannot be joined by a second CPU. Four DDR5 slots are populated to reach 64GB, leaving no free slots for further memory expansion without replacing modules. The single PCI Express x16 slot is occupied by the RTX 5080, preventing the addition of a second graphics card or high-bandwidth capture card. The 2TB HDD uses a SATA III port, which caps its transfer rate below the NVMe drive’s potential.
