ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 Desktop

The ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 is a new liquid-cooled gaming desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. It ships with Windows 11 Home, 64GB of DDR5 memory, a 2TB NVMe SSD and a 2TB SATA HDD. A 1000W power supply and a 360mm liquid cooler support the high-performance components for enthusiasts and creators who want a ready-to-play system.

Upgrade from air-cooled or lower-tier GPU rigs

Moving from an air-cooled chassis or a system with a mid-range graphics card to this liquid-cooled platform with an RTX 5080 16GB GDDR7 GPU is worth it when you need sustained high frame rates at 4K resolution and faster content-creation workflows. The 20-core CPU at 5.4GHz and 64GB DDR5 remove bottlenecks that appear in older 8-core or 16GB configurations. Builders who need a second graphics card or more than 64GB of memory should look elsewhere.

Sustained load behaviour with 360mm liquid cooling

Under extended gaming or rendering sessions the 360mm liquid cooler keeps the 20-core processor at stable frequencies without the thermal throttling seen on smaller air coolers. The 1000W power supply delivers consistent power to the RTX 5080 and all peripherals during peak draw. The dual-storage layout lets the NVMe SSD handle active project files while the 2TB HDD archives bulk data without slowing the primary drive.

Questions about this item

What case clearance does the 360 mm liquid cooler need for its radiator?

The ROG Strix Helios GX601 chassis is built around a 360 mm radiator, so the case already provides the required mounting points and airflow path.

How is the 2 TB NVMe SSD installed, and what step do builders often miss?

The NVMe drive slots into an M.2 socket on the motherboard and is secured with a single screw; the step often missed is removing the protective sticker before insertion.

When will the 1000 W power supply need its fan or the whole unit replaced?

A quality 1000 W PSU typically runs 7–10 years before fan bearings wear out; replace the unit if you hear grinding noises or experience random shutdowns under load.
