A: the back of the computer case: 92 mm fan top of the case: 120 mm fan
A: This computer uses Kingston Hyper X Fury DDR4-2666 RAM.
A: Don’t know what hp is talking about it’s clearly a single blower style fan, there is not two fans in that card and the overheating issues and crashing I’ve been having is abysmal
A: As far as thermals go yes it does get a little hot just like any computer will. I bought a metal height adjustable stand to help it breathe and keep it off of my floor. The stand is meant for monitors but I took measurements and bought the stand for the desktop and I am getting better thermal performance.It is able to support the weight of the tower. See my review of this desktop so you can see what I mean. The boot up issue isn't really an issue like others have stated power your monitor on first then the desktop and you shouldn't run into any issues. So far it has been a solid product.
Q: Does it have an available PCIe slot besides the one being used by the SSD ?
A: Nope, only one PCIe slot. FYI, this motherboard is Micro ATX, so a smaller form factor than a normal tower. Personally, I am probably going to buy a new motherboard and case so I can have more PCIe and SATA ports...
Q: Is this computer liquid or air cooled? Does it have more open bays available for an additional SSD?
A: the model that I got (i7/16gb/RTX 2080) is only air cooled but yeah there's plenty of room inside if you want it liquid cooled. As for the ssd bays, I havent opened it yet but looking through the glass side door, I only see one slot for the M.2. Although, im pretty sure there's more room for the 2.5" ssd behind the mobo.
A: use the Noctua NH-U9S, this runs a micro atx, and this mode will easily fit
A: I replaced both the stock 500W PSU and Intel stock CPU fan yesterday with "CORSAIR - CX Series Modular CX750M 750W ATX Power Supply" and "Corsair H60 AIO liquid cooler" respectively. see my review for details.
