Q: Are there any problems with overheating?
A: I've not had any overheating problems. I've been playing destiny 2 at 1080 and high settings with no problems. There's a neat little desktop app that lets you manually set fan speeds for both the cpu and GPU fans, or you can set to auto. I don't think I've ever heard the fans rev all the way up when on auto so it must not get too hot. Allows you to keep it really cool if you want though. SK
A: There's two single screw compartments on the bottom to do either job. It's as easy as it gets.
Q: Can an additional internal hard drive be added? I have a 2tb laptop sized (2.5") HDD.
A: Yes, there is a slot to install a 2.5" hdd in this model.
A: It can get warm, but even after 3 hours of heavy gaming, it does not reach dangerous temperatures and does not experience thermal throttling. You can always repaste the CPU (WARNING: Voids Warranty), put a Laptop Cooler under it, and tinker with the Nitro Sense fan controls. I found all of those unnecessary.
Q: Can an internal hard drive be installed in this? If so any recommendations on which one?
A: Absolutely. There is an empty internal Bay for either a mechanical, or solid state, SATA Drive. I purchased the Samsung 860 EVO 1tb internal solid-state drive from Best Buy for $149.99. The 256 gb solid-state drive that it comes with is a PCI Express. There is also an additional empty slot for Ram. For about $65 you can buy an additional 8GB stick and upgrade to 16 gigabytes of RAM.
Q: Does this support displayport over usb c?
A: This model does not support DisplayPort over USB-C.
A: It should do the trick, it has a decent set of specs and a graphics card that should allow for a decent game at experience. I purchased this computer because it is rated for VR, which is pretty resource intensive.
A: It’s less expensive because the 1 tb is not a ssd hard drive which is faster and makes less noise and provides you with a better experience
