Just build it yourself.

Why did he ask me to rate his thickness? lol? In general - the computer was not very good. Firstly, don't buy this thing and expect it to be updated at all. Although you can physically place different parts on the motherboard, the motherboard itself doesn't work well with them. Due to the design, no settings such as fan speed or memory frequency can be changed via BIO. As for its overall performance at the factory. It worked. But I wouldn't give any more than that. The choice of processor caused me problems when I had to update Windows. Since they chose to use a Ryzen 5 with a Vega Graphics APU and also install the RX580 when I reinstalled Windows, for some reason it gave me a black screen right after the Windows login screen appeared. It wasn't until I booted into safe mode and disabled Vega graphics that I was actually able to use the system as it was intended to be used with the RX580, which goes back to what I said above about not being able to make changes BIOS settings in order. so that the PC does not try to use VEGA graphics during its lifetime and cause the specified problem with each subsequent update of the graphics drivers. It's also worth noting that the GPU isn't an official AMD RX580 brand name according to GPU-z or AIDA64 - it's listed as "HP RX580". The case itself was poorly designed in terms of ventilation. For some reason, HP decided to put both a hard drive and a drive on the vents inside, resulting in excessively high temperatures when gaming, that's out-of-the-box performance. Most of the games you could play today could only run on low - maybe normal - graphics settings. I ended up taking the system apart and taking the parts I could put together and building my own. I would recommend just building it yourself.

Pros
  • Desktop computer
Cons
  • Everything is fine
