System overview

This ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 White is a new gaming desktop PC built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor with 24 cores running at 5.7GHz. It targets enthusiasts who want a pre-assembled, liquid-cooled Windows 11 machine for high-refresh 4K play and heavy multitasking. Buyers needing a compact workstation or a system without RGB lighting should look elsewhere.

Thermals and power

A 360mm liquid cooler handles the CPU while a 1000W power supply feeds the Dhahab GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card and 128GB of DDR5 memory. The closed-loop cooler keeps the 24-core processor at stable temperatures during extended sessions, and the high-wattage PSU provides headroom for the GPU's 16GB GDDR7 frame buffer under load.

Deciding specification

The single specification that decides fit is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 16GB GDDR7 video memory. It determines whether the system can drive your target resolution and ray-tracing workloads, and it cannot be upgraded later without replacing the entire graphics card.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 360mm liquid cooler in the Helios GX601 case, and which step do people get wrong?

Mount the radiator with tubes at the bottom, connect the pump header to CPU_FAN, and route cables before tightening — the step most miss is setting the pump to PWM mode in BIOS so it runs at full speed.

What maintenance or replacement will the 360mm liquid cooler need later?

The sealed loop needs no refill; plan to replace thermal paste on the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K every two to three years and clean radiator fins annually.

What limit shows up first under sustained load with the 1000W supply and RTX 5080?

The GPU 16GB GDDR7 frame buffer fills before the power supply hits its 1000W ceiling in 4K workloads.
