Build integration with upgraded thermals and storage

HIDevolution applies Gelid GC Extreme thermal compound to the CPU and GPU, lowering operating temperatures under load. A 2 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD provides fast boot and level-load speeds, while 16 GB of DDR5 5600 dual-channel memory supports multitasking without extra modules.

Customisation benefits from authorised BTO service

The builder runs full quality-control checks including BIOS and driver updates, burn-in stress testing, port and display verification, and physical inspection. This process reduces defect-on-arrival risk and covers the applied upgrades under the standard warranty.
