Review on 💻 HP Pavilion Desktop TG01-2460 with E249W Processor, 1920x1080 LED HD Display by Andrew Gleason

The HP Pavilion TG01-1022 gaming desktop computer is affordable and offers very good performance and gaming potential for entry-level users. The HP Pavilion TG01-1022 is compact and has a variety of ports including four USB Type-A ports and one USB Type. C, SD card reader and combo audio jack on front I/O panel. Also on the back there are 4 more USB Type A ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, HDMI and display ports from the GPU RX 5500. The case looks nice with a line on the front and a green LED on the bottom. To change or disable the light animation, you need to open the OMEN Gaming Hub app. The OMEN Gaming Hub app also serves to monitor the system (temperature, network, RAM usage, processes, etc.) and boost performance. System packages Ryzen 3 5300G APU and Radeon RX 5500 GPU A single 8 GB RAM module runs at 3200 MHz and 52% of the RAM is already used by the system. This leaves you with less than 4 GB for your tasks or games. Because of this, a gaming PC should have at least 16GB of RAM, preferably in a dual-channel configuration for better gaming performance. Uninstalling important apps can reduce RAM usage by up to 40%. Too bad, because Ryzen APUs work best with 3200MHz RAM or higher. You cannot make any changes to the RAM settings because the BIOS does not allow you to configure or edit the RAM. I've tried several 16GB 3200MHz and 3600MHz RAM kits from multiple manufacturers and couldn't get any of them to run faster than 2666MHz on this system. The 3600MHz pair can't even exceed 2400MHz, and one of them can run Ryzen 3 5300G, Ryzen 5 5600G, and Ryzen 7 3700x processors at 4000MHz. There's also a 512GB SK Hynix PCIe Gen3 SSD that can reach up to 1867MB/s. Read and 1705 MB/s write. The same SSD performed better when installed on a different B550 motherboard, achieving 2212 MB/s reading and 1998 MB/s writing. The HP Pavilion TG01-1022 also includes a PCIe 802.11ac Wi-Fi card. The map can be updated, but the update may only work if HP allows other Wi-Fi cards. The system also includes a keyboard and mouse, but they are not intended for gaming. They're both flimsy and fairly cheap, so you'd better get something else, even for office use, as you might need a wrist brace. The fans do a good job of keeping the system under control while running very quietly. Even under full load, the CPU temperature remained below 78 °C and the maximum GPU temperature reached 76 °C in a 23 °C (74 °F) room. The GPU hotspot has reached 88°C, which may be GPU related. Heatsink bracket or thermal paste. The system comes with Windows 11 Home Edition which has been improved in the latest update. It works even better if you know how to limit telemetry capabilities and keep a local account. The data transfer via USB 3.1 was quite fast. The system reached speeds of 5.2 Gbit/s (642 MB/s). I was able to transfer 20GB of data in 31 seconds. While fast, the same USB device was able to reach 8.5 Gb/s transfer speeds on my laptop. I populated all the USB ports and did a simultaneous data transfer to see if the system could handle the USB power draw. It succeeded. 3DMark Time Spy scored 4,684, Fire Strike 12,187, and Night Raid 33,218. At a high resolution of 1080p, Unigine Valley Benchmark scored 5,377 with an average FPS of 128.5, while Superposition scored 9,196. 1364 on multi-core. PC Mark 10 scored an overall score of 5838, which is good if you intend to use it as a work computer. Upgrading the RAM to 16GB Dual Channel, even at 2666MHz, improved all of these scores and games. Productivity from 12 to 18%. Although the Pavilion TG01-1022 isn't the most powerful device, it still has room for upgrades. It supports up to 32GB of DDR4-3200MHz RAM, up to 10.5-inch graphics cards, SATA storage, and up to Ryzen 5 5700G APUs. Of course, the motherboard is proprietary, as is the PSU, so you can't replace it if its power requirements exceed that of a 400W PSU. The front I/O panel is integrated into the motherboard, so be careful not to move it. USB devices or
