The system was a pleasant surprise in the current world of disappointments.
First thing I did after firing it up (Which was a pretty fast startup) was to change the LED lighting to light blue. Just my preference.
This was easily done with the Predator Sense program that is installed.
Second was to check is the cable management.
I’m usually bothered over this but this time there was no complaints at all.
Everything neatly done.
I added a second HDD (4TB) and was ready to start fishing cables to hook up but...
The tray the HDD went to already had the cable hookups attached to end of tray.
All I had to do was put HDD in tray and slide it in. Perfect!
Fired up the PC and drives was detected and off we went.
Deleted/formatted the drive and in a few minutes, I was transferring my STEAM games from main drive to the 4TB drive. (I also added a 1TB M2 drive which was also a breeze)
System:
At idle the temps were a tad high for my liking but not bad.
However, you can easily go into the previously mentioned program called “Predator Sense” and select a different fan profile or create your own custom one.
Right now at Idle (just browsing web etc) after adjusting fans
CPU: 41c
GPU:28c
System: 30c
Running Baldurs Gate 3:
CPU: 74c
GPU: 33c
System: 34c
FPS while playing BG3 were well over 100, outside and in dungeons.
This was with no overclocking etc.. just out of the box.
I do recommend updating to latest Nvidia Drivers.
After you update your GPU drivers you should restart the PC.
If not, the Predator Sense program will not show GPU temps. At least that’s what happened to me.
It has now been a little over a week of constant use and still running great.
Final thoughts are this system is well worth obtaining. I couldn’t be happier.

Great computer, from the start plays even cod as 200-220 at low settings. 100-160 at high. The pc usally runs at almost 100c and. And if your like me and upgraded the gpu. It runs hot. I added two top echuast fans that made it okay for summer. Pc still runs hot but acer advertises "its upgradeble" its not. Motherboard is old, comes with no usb port ( use for aio cooler) actually dosent really come with much to upgrade besides adding two fans. Its a good prebuilt to get in. Horrible to do anything with later.
