  • Key Specs
    • Processor Model: Intel 8th Generation Core i7 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an Intel or AMD processor.)
    • Storage Type: SSD, HDD
    • Total Storage Capacity: 1240 gigabytes
    • System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

    • Processor Model Number: i7-8700K
  • Storage
    • Storage Type: SSD, HDD
    • Total Storage Capacity: 1240 gigabytes
    • Solid State Drive Capacity: 240 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's solid state drive (SSD). SSD is a flash-based storage with faster speeds than a hard disk drive (HDD).)
    • Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
    • Hard Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the hard drive to the host system for transferring data between the hard disk cache and system memory. IDE and SATA interfaces are primarily used for personal computing, while larger servers and workstations typically use SAS or SCSI.)
    • Hard Drive Accelerator: None (A module integrated (or added) into a PC to improve performance speed. By acting as a high-speed cache, an accelerator speeds up access times to the hard drive, which results in faster web browsing, improved gaming experience, and overall more responsiveness.)
  • Memory
    • System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
    • Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
    • System Memory RAM Speed: 2400 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
  • Compatibility
    • Operating System: Windows 10 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
    • Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
  • Connectivity
    • Number of VGA Ports: 1 (VGA (Video Graphics Adapter or Video Graphics Array) is a display standard that transmits via analog signals. This type of interface is typically used to connect a computer to a display device such as a monitor, projector, or TV.)
    • Number Of DVI Ports: 1
    • Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)

Q: what does a red light near the cylinder on top of the case near the power button? Also what does the cylinder mean.

A: Hi eafan, That light simply means the hard drive is being read or written to. You do not need to pay too much attention to it as it being lit up on and off throughout the day is normal. If you have additional questions or need further assistance, please feel to contact our support team: https://www.ibuypower.com/Support Thank you!

Q: Do a need speakers to hear the sound?

A: Yes. This machine has analog audio outputs and inputs, including a 3.5mm output for speakers. You can also use a USB audio device, like a headset if you want. If you have an HDMI enabled monitor with speakers, those will also work. The machine in and of itself has no audio speakers built into it.

Q: All it says is intel core i7, which processor is it exactly and what gen?

A: The Trace 941 comes with 8700k. Should say that in description.

Q: I see the power supply under the shroud how to you remove the shroud? It seems to have rivets holding it.

A: The computer opens from both sides, there are 2 thumb screws at the top that you take off.

Q: Can i do video editing and photo editing on this desktop ? i am scared from a liquid cooling is that really safe or is it going to leak one day and air cooling is better ? i want to add a ssd 500 g can i do that ? thank you

A: Hello Peter Video and photo editing not a problem at all, you will be happy with your purchase. It is a closed looped cooling system so nothing to ever refill or manage. Also it is only on the CPU. The same cooling system also acts as a pull for air in the case, if you want more fans you will have to purchase them and install them. I have not added any additional fans and my system runs very cool even when doing gaming for hours on end. You can have up to 4 SSD drives, it has 2 easy to access SSD's on the bottom of the case which you can easily see through the glass. It also has room for 2 more SSD behind the right panel.

Q: Just bought today. Set it up & internet running EXTREMELY slow. Called internet provided and tested speed on phone. Was able to get 89 mbps but can only get 370 kbps on computer. Anyone have any suggestions to fix?

A: Are you using wifi or is your computer wired to your router with a network cable? If you are using wifi, you will want to make sure that you connected the wifi antennas to the back of the computer. Mine came with two small antennas in the accessory bag. They need to be screwed onto the gold connectors on the back of the computer. Without those antennas attached, your network connection will be slow if not non-existent.

Q: The description says it water cooled..is it a AIO or full loop

A: The water cooling is a closed loop only cooling the CPU.
