Review on ZOTAC ECM7307LH GeForce I7 10700 ZBOX ECM7307LH U W2B by Jason Wesley

Runs great, runs cool and very quiet even on steep fan curves. I'm personally more impressed than the InWin A1 build it replaces. The most dense computer I've ever owned. For the price, I doubt a mechanical (Seagate?) hard drive and single-channel RAM. Not terrible, just a little strange, especially at this price point. Please note that the hard drive must be formatted and initialized before it can be viewed. The fan pogo pins attached to the top foil also look odd. I like the idea of the pogo pins but not the way it was implemented. The fan curves in the BIOS also have to be adjusted, since the system gets too hot for me personally and the standard fans switch on too late. devices or split the combo port into appropriate microphone and audio jacks. It would be nice to have Win 10 Pro and dual channel RAM as well, but not critical. Haven't researched but the disassembly seems to indicate the motherboard is not an ATX-24, not sure if this is the new 12VO standard or proprietary. I'm also surprised that the 'regular' i7-10700 is included and not the 10700T or similar. low TDP option. The CPU cooler is powerful enough anyway. The motherboard will live and die when it appears. Hopefully the PSU is good too as it will probably be difficult to find a replacement (500W FlexATX Platinum 12VO and a custom cutout? wow). In general, this purchase suits me. The power of the 3070 and the machine to run it was required. It is possible to eliminate the previous machine I used. This new setup is also great for travel. As for a few caveats about its nature and design, knock on wood, this PC has had a long and happy life and it was well worth the investment. The performance is excellent and the build quality is amazing. Don't pay dirty scalpers at $1,900 MSRP. Some people need to be desperate, but for others it's value for money and a dream car that gets out of the way and hauls anything you throw at it. 4.5/5
