Product Purpose

Sustained Load Behaviour

The processor runs at a 3.7 GHz base frequency with 36MB of L3 cache and can reach 5.70 GHz via Turbo Boost during heavier workloads. An integrated Intel AI Boost NPU assists with local AI tasks. Connectivity remains stable under load through Gigabit Ethernet, MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7920 with MU-MIMO and Bluetooth 5.4. Front and rear USB ports provide 5 Gbps and 480 Mbps options for peripherals.

Pre-Order Checks

Verify that your workspace can accommodate a tower measuring 12.76 inches high, 6.06 inches wide and 11.53 inches deep, weighing 12.02 lb. A monitor is not included, so ensure you have a display with DisplayPort or HDMI input. The system uses an LGA 1851 socket and ships with 16GB of DDR5 5600 MHz memory installed.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Core Ultra 9 285K get when the tower runs all day?

The 24-core processor has a 3.7 GHz base clock and can boost to 5.70 GHz, so sustained workloads will draw more power and generate more heat than lower-tier CPUs; the tower chassis uses internal airflow to manage thermals.

What display and cables must I already own to use the Intel UHD Graphics?

You need a monitor with either a DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 input and the matching cable; no dedicated graphics card is included, so the integrated output is the only video source.

Will my older USB 2.0 peripherals work with the front and rear ports on this tower?

Yes, the system provides four USB 2.0 Type-A ports (two front, two rear) that run at 480 Mbps, so legacy keyboards, mice and drives connect without adapters.
