Intel Core Ultra 9 285HX

The 24-core processor reaches a 5.5 GHz maximum turbo frequency and pairs with the GeForce RTX 5090 laptop GPU equipped with 24 GB GDDR7. Dual-channel 5600 MHz DDR5 memory totalling 96 GB and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD provide capacity for heavy multitasking and large project files.

Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface upgrade

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme compound to the CPU and GPU to lower operating temperatures under sustained loads. The treatment aims to reduce throttling during intensive compute and graphics tasks while keeping acoustic output in check. Power draw scales with the 285 HX and RTX 5090 combination under full utilisation.

Questions about this item

How does the 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency affect thermals during sustained loads?

The Intel Core Ultra 9-285HX reaches 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency across its 24 cores, and HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material on the CPU and GPU to lower temperatures and reduce throttling during extended heavy workloads.

What fan noise level should I expect when the RTX 5090 runs at full load for hours?

The system uses Gelid GC Extreme on both the CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 with 24 GB GDDR7 to keep temperatures lower, which helps the cooling fans run at reduced speeds and produce less noise during prolonged maximum-load sessions.

Does the 96 GB DDR5 kit require a specific motherboard revision to operate at 5600 MHz?

The 96 GB DDR5 memory is installed as 2 x 48 GB modules running at 5600 MHz in dual-channel mode, configured and validated by HIDevolution for the Raider 18 HX AI platform so it works at rated speed without additional hardware.
