ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 Core Ultra 9 285K RTX 5060 16GB 2TB Liquid Cooled gaming PC

ROG Strix Helios GX601 desktop

The ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 is a liquid-cooled gaming desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor with 24 cores reaching 5.7 GHz. It pairs an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR7 memory and 16 GB of DDR5 system memory. A 2 TB NVMe SSD provides the primary storage volume. The system ships with Windows 11 Home and includes a 750 W power supply.

360 mm liquid cooling under load

A 360 mm liquid cooler manages heat from the 24-core processor during extended sessions, helping sustain 5.7 GHz boost behaviour without thermal throttling. The 750 W power supply delivers stable current to the CPU and RTX 5060 simultaneously, while the case airflow path supports continuous exhaust from the radiator. Integrated 2.5G Ethernet and Wi-Fi maintain low-latency connectivity throughout long matches.

Check case space and memory plans

Verify that your intended location accommodates the ROG Strix Helios GX601 chassis dimensions before ordering. The 16 GB DDR5 configuration occupies two of the four 288-pin DIMM slots, so future upgrades will require replacing modules rather than adding to empty slots. The 750 W unit uses standard ATX connectors; confirm cable routing clearance for any aftermarket components you may install later.
