Ready-to-run CAD workstation

The HP Z4 G4 tower arrives with an 18-core Intel Core i9-10980XE processor, 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a 512 GB NVMe drive and an NVIDIA Quadro K420 graphics card. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed and licensed for professional use. The 1000 W power supply supports the factory configuration and leaves headroom for internal upgrades.

Verify memory type and graphics needs

The motherboard accepts only non-ECC unbuffered DDR4 modules across eight slots for a maximum of 256 GB; registered or ECC sticks will not work. The installed Quadro K420 suits 2D drafting and light 3D work; buyers who need certified drivers for heavy simulation or multi-monitor 4K output should plan a graphics upgrade. The LGA 2066 socket is locked to Intel Core X-Series CPUs and will not accept Xeon W processors.

Expansion-ready tower platform

Quad-channel memory architecture and eight DIMM slots free you to scale RAM as projects grow. Dual gigabit Ethernet ports and multiple USB 3.1 connectors handle peripherals and network storage without extra cards. Spacious PCIe Gen 3 slots accommodate a larger GPU, capture hardware or additional NVMe drives, while the enterprise thermal design keeps the chassis quiet under sustained loads.

Questions about this item

Does the box include a monitor, keyboard or mouse, or must I buy those separately?

The workstation ships as a tower unit only; display, keyboard and mouse are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is the installed 8 GB DDR4 adequate for large assemblies or should I order the 256 GB maximum right away?

8 GB handles typical CAD models, but the board has 8 DIMM slots supporting up to 256 GB quad-channel DDR4 if your workflows need more capacity.

The i9-10980XE shows 3.0 GHz base — what does that mean for sustained render performance?

The 18-core 36-thread CPU runs at 3.00 GHz base clock on the X299 platform, and the 1000 W supply with zoned cooling maintains that throughput during long compute jobs.
