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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I personally have not had the GPU going above 66, playing games like rust included, but the beeping problem is easily fixed. Just turn your monitor on first. Only problem I have had is the issue with the top three ports (2 DP and 1 HDMI) not connecting to the monitor. Only the lower DP port worked for me.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Install Asus GPU tweak or any third party GPU tool and make a custom fan profile. Mine is set at 70% at 80c and stress testing it didn't go over 80c. Without the tweak it went upmto 88c. The fan wouldn't go over 50%. I think he was conservative with the fan profile to reduce noise. I'd rather have noise than a damaged GPU.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven’t had any issues with it so far although I do keep it sat a little raised from the floor by sitting on 2 old wooden rulers I found laying around and I keep it dusted and clear of anything blocking the vents. As for the turning the monitor on before the computer, I haven’t heated anything about that and haven’t had any issues at all. I have it hooked up to my 4K uhd tv most of the time but have also used it to an old 19” hd monitor that turns on when you boot up the computer and have had no issues at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for reaching out. There should be no issues on thermals and there is no need to add additional cooling with the included components. As for the issue you mention about the monitor, if this occurs I recommend reaching out to HP support so they can provide you with the proper resolution.
