Unboxing the Asus Helios GX 601 Silver Edition: A Glimpse into the Future of Gaming Computers

The box itself is an exciting aspect of unboxing any computer, and the Asus Helios GX 601 Silver Edition is no exception. The motherboard box, along with other board boxes, is included in the packaging, complete with accessories such as extra power supply cables, RGB remote controls, and various brackets for the case. These extras are a testament to the attention to detail that has gone into creating this system.

The OG Helios GX 601 Silver Edition baby is revealed, showcasing its fine brushed aluminum exterior. The front panel boasts a glass surface with the Rog logo prominently displayed, which is also RGB backlit. A small gap on the front and bottom of the case suggests that the design team at Asus has carefully considered ergonomics and airflow. The power button is situated below a USB 3.0 Type-A port, while a USB 3.1 Gen2 Type-C port and headphone jacks are located above it. A reset button for controlling the case's LEDs and another for the fan controller round out the feature set.

The fabric handle at the top of the case is one of the standout features, not only because of its sturdy design but also due to its rugged aesthetic. The side panel pops open with ease, thanks to an automatic catch mechanism that ensures everything stays secure during transport. A convenient insta-pack provides additional protection and keeps all components organized.

Moving on to the specs, we see a sleek Asus Z490 motherboard featuring their white edition. It's unclear what processor this system will be using, but it's likely either an Intel Core i7 or i9, given its attention-grabbing design. A CL (Cooling) see is included, along with a 240mm liquid cooling system from Asus Strix LC. This setup includes not one but two RGB fans on the front and three more at the back, ensuring optimal airflow.

A quartet of sticks of RGB memory from XPG rounds out this impressive configuration. The DDR4 3200 MHz kit boasts an 8x8 module layout, with each stick sporting 8 gigs of memory. It's likely that a second pack was used to create this system, resulting in 32 gigs of DDR4 memory.

The graphics card is arguably the star of the show: the Asus Rog Strix RTX 2080 Super Wide Edition. Its white finish is a stunning addition to this build, and its performance capabilities are truly awe-inspiring. With an 800W power supply from Raid Max Vampire, this system will be able to handle even the most demanding games and applications.

A peek at the back of the case reveals a tidy cable management setup, with an empty cable cage that suggests only one SSD is installed in the system – a single 1TB Endurance drive. This device is mounted directly to the motherboard, providing seamless connectivity for the system's boot drive. Plugging in two ports and checking them out confirms their functionality.

In conclusion, the Asus Helios GX 601 Silver Edition is an impressive computer that showcases the company's commitment to innovation and style. With its sleek design, powerful hardware, and attention-grabbing accessories, this system is sure to turn heads among gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out in the world of gaming computers, the Helios GX 601 Silver Edition is an incredible option to consider.

go in there gonna get hair on all the computers okay I think the AC turned off thank you this is the system home damp it's a big boy you can already see right here that we've got an ROG Helio so this is the GX 601 not the black Helio so it looks like the Silver Edition okay they used a lot of tape here give me a second okay cool so they include the motherboard box other board boxes right here it's probably got some accessories see essentials all right it's got some extra power supply cables RGB remote various brackets and other accessories for the case to RGB remotes this thing must be fast present to you broken back out nominating someone with physical strength isn't a requirement but it may help them unbox the system if they happen to win it okay so like I said our OG Helios GX 601 Silver Edition baby look at all this fine brushed aluminum oh that's nice so on the front we've got a glass panel cat not included rog logo right there I believe this is RGB backlit as well no not on top buddy we also have looks like about an inch gap right here there's a similarly sized gap on the bottom front die oh got a power button for USB 3.0 type-a ports a USB 3.1 gen2 type-c port like it headphone jacks reset button for controlling the cases LEDs and another button for your fan controller the fabric handle at the top is one of my favorite things about this case it's super sturdy it looks really nice for starters but it's also really rugged I had no no problem carrying it around the house with just those handles had every bit of confidence that it wouldn't you know give out or
