Core Ultra 7 265KF Gaming Desktop

This ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 system pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF 20-core processor running at 5.4GHz with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card. It includes 128GB of DDR5 memory and dual storage totalling 4TB across a 2TB NVMe SSD and a 2TB SATA III HDD. The build targets enthusiasts who want a liquid-cooled Windows 11 machine ready for 4K gaming and heavy multitasking.

Platform And Power Requirements

The CPU uses the LGA 1851 socket and the GPU connects via a PCI Express x16 slot, both housed inside the GX601 chassis with a 360mm liquid cooler. A 1000W power supply drives the complete assembly, so verify that your mains circuit can sustain the load. The motherboard provides four DDR5 slots, all populated, leaving no room for additional memory modules without removing existing ones.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous heavy workloads the 360mm liquid cooler manages heat from the 20-core CPU and the RTX 5080 with its 16GB GDDR7 frame buffer. The 1000W unit delivers stable power to both components during extended sessions. Storage throughput remains consistent on the NVMe boot drive while the secondary HDD handles bulk data without thermal throttling.

Questions about this item

Does the ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601 include a monitor, keyboard and mouse, or must they be purchased separately?

The system ships as a tower only with Windows 11 Home pre-installed. A display, keyboard and mouse are not included and must be bought separately.

Should I choose the 128GB DDR5 configuration or look for a lower-capacity option?

The GX601 is offered with 128GB DDR5 across four slots. If your workloads do not need that much memory, a smaller kit would save cost, but this build arrives fully populated and ready for heavy multitasking.

What does the 5.4GHz figure on the Core Ultra 7 265KF mean for actual gaming frame rates?

The 5.4GHz is the processor's base frequency across its 20 cores. Paired with the RTX 5080 and 128GB DDR5, it keeps the graphics card fed in CPU-bound scenes, helping sustain high frame rates at 1440p and 4K.
