FAQs

Can I upgrade the storage later?

Yes, the motherboard allows for future expansion, though you should verify slot availability based on the internal layout.

What is included in the box?

The box contains the Gaming PC tower and the necessary power cable.

Is this PC suitable for 4K video editing?

It can handle light 4K editing, but for professional 4K workflows, you may find the hardware performance limited compared to high-end workstations.

Does the system come with a monitor?

How long is the warranty?

This system includes a 3-year return-to-base warranty provided by the manufacturer.

Is the RGB lighting customizable?

Troubleshooting

No video signal on monitor

Ensure your HDMI or DisplayPort cable is plugged into the NVIDIA graphics card (lower horizontal ports) and not the motherboard (top vertical ports).

System running hot during gameplay

Verify that the PC is not inside a closed cabinet and that all intake/exhaust fans are spinning freely without dust obstruction.

Slow game performance

Check that the latest drivers are installed via GeForce Experience and ensure the game is not set to a resolution higher than 1080p.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Maintenance Tips:
