Professional CAD Workstation

The HP Z4 G4 tower workstation is built for engineering, drafting, 3D modelling and visualisation tasks. It runs an 18-core Intel Core i9-10980XE processor at 3.0GHz with 36 threads for demanding creative workflows. The system includes 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB NVMe M.2 drive for fast project access. An NVIDIA Quadro K420 graphics card handles workstation-class graphics workloads.

Quad-Channel DDR4 Architecture

The X299 motherboard provides eight DIMM slots in a quad-channel layout supporting up to 256GB of non-ECC unbuffered DDR4 memory. Expansion uses PCIe Gen 3 slots for graphics and capture cards. Dual gigabit Ethernet ports and multiple USB 3.1 connections handle data transfer. The board is designed exclusively for LGA 2066 Core X-Series processors and does not support Xeon W CPUs or registered ECC server RAM.

Power and Compatibility Checks

Verify that your workflow can operate within the Quadro K420 graphics capability for your specific applications. Confirm that 16GB of installed memory meets current project requirements before relying on future upgrades. The 1000W power supply supports add-in cards and storage expansions. Ensure any planned memory additions use non-ECC unbuffered DDR4 modules compatible with the X299 platform.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 16GB DDR4 or upgrade toward the 256GB maximum?

The board has 8 slots in quad-channel layout; 16GB is fine for light CAD, but heavy assemblies or virtual machines benefit from filling more slots up to 256GB.

How does the 3.00GHz 18-core i9-10980XE behave in a real tower?

All 18 cores and 36 threads run at 3.00GHz base with turbo higher; the 1000W supply and dedicated cooling zones keep clocks stable during long renders.

What does the X299 chipset and LGA 2066 socket cap for expansion?

X299 on LGA 2066 delivers quad-channel DDR4 and PCIe Gen 3 lanes; it supports Core X-Series only, not Xeon W or registered ECC memory.
