This machine does run hot for a few reasons. First, there is only a small exhaust fan in the back. There are no intake fans like a normal gaming gaming case. So the case overall has poor air flow. Also, the stock intel cpu cooler mounted on the processor is too small to let an 8core/16thread i7 processor breathe and run at full speed. Personally, I got a new case, fans, and cpu cooler for it and it runs great now. Much cooler and quieter. I picked up a Phanteks P300A case with a mesh front panel, and a Coolermaster Hyper 212 cpu cooler. About $100 for both, and I already had extra fans at home. After swapping the motherboard and parts into the new case, it now runs cool and quiet like a normal gaming pc should.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I got mine out of box, and it failed to load up the initial setup to run windows 11. after gettting it to the windows 11 main screen it was running 80c and it was idle.. the fans sound like a hurricane when trying to cool. then it would cycle the fan from slow to turbo every few seconds. playing a 24 year old game the system rebooted by itself. I did this constantly over the next 2 days. I tried there support online and it said I was in que for help #403 in line, after 1 hour i was still 400. I talked to a geek squad person at bestbuy and they said do the system restore. I did this and it failed to restore the drive.. it then would not even show there was a hard drive for it to try and boot too. I'm a very ticked off buyer at this point.. DO NOT BUY THIS SYSTEM.
