Question 1

Hey guys I am considering buying this or the i5 model and was wondering if it could play Batman Arkham Knight? I was thinking not, but that might change because of the 4 gigs. Also, is there any cooling issues and are the fans are loud?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure about playing Batman Arkham Knight. As far as cooling and the fans, I have had zero issues with cooling and I have been playing on it for hours at a time. I never hear the fans when they come on. Not sure if it's because I'm just not paying attention or they are that quiet.

I have the i3 model and it has played everything I've thrown at it very well. I play mechwarrior online and have the settings at high with no problem. Same with DayZ, plays it without issue with settings in high.

Question 2

How easy is it to upgrade/add - RAM, Graphics Card, HDD etc?

Accepted Answer

It's not easy at all to upgrade this system. I do like this system, but it's not upgrade friendly at all.

I wanted to upgrade the RAM to 16 GB (it takes laptop ram) and had to actually take it in to get help from someone with it. You have to remove the graphics card, the heat sync that is soldered (sp) in place, all sorts of things to get to the RAM.

You would want to be very careful if attempting to upgrade the graphics card or replace anything, just because every inch of space is accounted for in that case so it would be a crap shoot if any upgrades would fit.

I do like the system, and it's run well, but my advice would be to buy it only if you're OK with not upgrading it. That's the down side of an extremely trim build like this.

Good luck with your PC research!

Question 3

I would like to know about the Graphic Card, is it a Nivida?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is a Nvidia GeForce 745XT. So far this machine has not let me down. It ha played everything I want with no problems. I can run World of Warcraft on ultra settings and still get between 70-90 fps. I play DayZ on high setting with zero problems! DayZ is a graphic intensive game

Question 4

Was curious if maybe i was able to run games like league of legends, borderlands, and dayz on meduim/high with a stable framerate, think it would do?

Accepted Answer

I don't play Dayz, but I've had no issues with LoL or Borderlands on this machine.

Question 5

Can you use a tv as a monitor for this pc?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, it has a HDMI video port on the back panel and you can use a certain cord, I think an HDMI to VGA cord, where you can connect it to your TV/Monitor. You just have to change the input of the TV to VGA after you've plugged the cord into both the TV and the computer itself.

Question 6

Will this be able to run a high settings because it actually seems like a pretty powerful pc?

Accepted Answer

Not sure exactly what you're trying to run at high settings, but it's got no issue running Wolfenstein: The New Order (for example) for me on the top settings. The CPU is the only thing that I might eventually upgrade.

Question 7

Is this strictly Ethernet or is there a wireless card already in the computer?

Accepted Answer

It does indeed have a wireless card.

Question 9

Hey I was wondering for the i3 model can the GTX 745 be overclocked and what can it be overclocked too ?

Accepted Answer

I do not think it can.  It might be appropriate to check out the gtx-1050 as a replacement.  Need to check on the power requirements.

Question 10

Will i be able to swap GTX 745 with GTX 750 Ti with standard 180 W Power adaptor (since it requires only 5 more W of power?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. The only downside: warranty is void.
