MSI Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG-841US 18" UHD+ 120Hz Mini LED Ultra 9-285HX RTX 5090 128GB 16TB

Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG-841US

The Raider 18 HX AI A2XWJG-841US is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9-285HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU with 24 GB GDDR7 video memory. It ships with Windows 11 Home, 128 GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory in dual-channel configuration, and 16 TB of total PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage across two 8 TB M.2 drives. The 120 Hz Mini LED panel delivers a 3840 x 2400 UHD+ resolution for high-detail work and play.

Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound applied

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material to both the CPU and GPU during assembly to improve heat transfer and lower operating temperatures under load. Verify that your workflow can use the pre-installed 128 GB DDR5 capacity and the dual 8 TB NVMe layout, as both are populated at the factory. Confirm that the 24-core Ultra 9-285HX with a 5.5 GHz max turbo frequency matches the performance envelope your applications require.

Cooler system temperatures under load

The Gelid GC Extreme upgrade is intended to reduce CPU and GPU temperatures during intensive tasks, helping to prevent thermal throttling and sustain higher clocks for longer periods. The 120 Hz Mini LED display and 24 GB GDDR7 GPU memory draw significant power, so the cooling solution is tuned to manage the combined thermal output of the 285HX and RTX 5090 in a 1.26-inch thick chassis weighing 7.94 lbs.
