Tuesday, September 24, 2024 This unit is a replacement for a unit which would not boot. This unit does boot. There was a loud rattle inside the computer, before I booted it. I took the cover off and found the fan blade for the power supply had fallen off. That fan blade did go back OK.
Windows 11 is just awful. It will take me days to make the screen and options anywhere close to my Windows 10 Pro.
Runs really hot. Not enough fans for a pc with this much power. The CPU is too powerful for the GPU. The Bluetooth is faulty. The HP branded rtx 3060 gets hot even when not playing games. The nvme ssd is very fast but 512 GB is not enough. I suggest increasing the ssd storage to 1 TB and ditching the hard drive.
The shopping and selection experience was good. The pc has performed well. However, I have had occurrences of it locking up and requireing a power button shutdown. The speaker would randomly cut out requiring it to be unplugged and plugged back in, even with a new speaker. The installation instructions were lacking; plug it in, power on, select internet icon from task bar. Mmmm seems like something is missing, oh yeah, connect the monitor.
I've thrown multiple tasks at this computer and it handles it all very well. Delivery was well before promised and setup was very easy. I did replace the mouse and keyboard to a gaming setup and made my experience much nicer.
