Sustained load on 16-core CPU and RTX 5070

The 16-core 32-thread processor maintains high clocks across long renders or compile jobs. The RTX 5070 8GB GPU keeps frame rates stable during extended sessions. DDR5 bandwidth feeds both compute and graphics without throttling. Thermal design supports continuous output rather than short bursts.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 inch 2560 x 1600 240Hz screen fit on my desk and run at full refresh with the supplied HDMI 2.1 cable?

The chassis measures 15.71 x 11.57 x 1.21 inches and weighs 6.61 pounds. The HDMI 2.1 FRL port supports the panel's native 2560 x 1600 resolution at 240Hz.

Can the 64GB DDR5 memory and 1TB PCIe SSD be expanded later without voiding the original one year manufacture warranty?

The original seal is opened by engineers for upgrades only. Upgraded RAM and SSD carry a separate one year warranty while the remaining components keep the original one year manufacture warranty.

Which external displays can I drive simultaneously through the USB4 and HDMI 2.1 ports?

The USB4 port and HDMI 2.1 FRL port each support 2560 x 1600 at 240Hz. Both can run together with the internal 18 inch 240Hz panel for a three screen setup.
