Thermal interface material and stress testing

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal interface material to the CPU and GPU during assembly to lower system temperatures under load. Each unit undergoes burn-in stress testing for temperature stability and benchmark verification before shipment. The 165 Hz IPS-level display operates at 500 nits brightness with a 3 ms response time and Adaptive-Sync support for smoother frame delivery.

40 GB DDR5 memory and 512 GB PCIe 4.0 storage

The memory configuration combines 8 GB of on-board DDR5 4800 MHz with a 32 GB module for a total of 40 GB, enabling heavy multitasking and memory-intensive workloads. Storage is handled by a 512 GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD for fast boot and load times. The laptop includes a one-year warranty covering the customised build and access to expert support staff.
