Victus 15L Gaming Desktop Computer (Intel 16-Core i7-13700 Processor (>i9-12900K), 32GB RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super, Windows 11 Home) Gamer Tower PC (Made_by_HP)

I bought this computer because I wanted a compact design, low power use, relatively good performance, and a low price. This particular model was upgraded between the time I originally looked at it and the time I purchased it. At this time, it only has basic Microsoft and Adobe applications. My expected use is for Office, Internet browsing, photo processing, and light video editing.My model, based on an AsRock DeskMini X300W case, came with a AMD Ryzen 4650G (6 core, 12 thread) APU, 32 GB of Ram, and a 1 TB NVME SSD from Intel. It also has a GB ethernet port, AC level wi-fi, and bluetooth.Here are some basic use statistics. Power use of the CPU was measured using Core Temp, Cinebench R23 was used for processing time, and Speedtest was used for Ethernet. A Kill A Watt was used to measure system power use. Max temperatures were measured during the Cinebench multi-core test when all processor cores were running at 100%. Peak processor power use was about 55-60 watts for the processors and 85-90 watts for the system. At idle, when just the home screen and Core Temp were running, the processor took about 3-6 watts and the system about 21 watts. The Cinebench R23 results were 8761 for multicore and 1214 for single core. Ethernet download speed was 913 Mbps and upload was 25 Mbps on a network using Cat 5E cable and with a supposed 1 Gb Ethernet peak from the provider. These results should be viewed as impressionistic, not definitive.My main complaint about the system is the loud fan, but if it becomes too annoying, it should be an easy replacement. Another constraint is the limited number of ports (2 USB 3, 1 USB C, 1 USB 2, 1 HDMI, and 1 VGA). These will be plenty for me, but some people may wish for more. It has far more power than I need except perhaps for video editing, but I look forward to substantially quicker encoding times. In short, this is a great small form computer, well priced, with a noisy fan.

I am running a lean version of Gentoo on this; the Linux kernel compiles in less than 3 minutes (static kernel, no dynamic module loading) with -j11 and KCFLAGS=-pipe.An empty-tree build takes less than 3 hours with about 600 packages (including llvm, clang, and qemu, but no heavy browser or desktop environment compilations; I am using dwm and i3 for window managers.)The AMD graphics seem adequate (and might be better than that, but I haven't tested these in any other way than casual observation); even QEMU/KVM virtual machines pass-through graphics via virtio are acceptable.Compared to my previous experience with NUCs, though, the sound seems just a bit less satisfactory, though I find it hard to quantify what about the sound is lacking. I am using the same speakers on both (wired Klipsch), so I don't think it's the speakers.The AMD 4650G processor is what really shines for me; it makes using Gentoo on the desktop as practical as I have ever seen it.I think that AMD, ASRock, and CUK have hit a home run with this one. The price is comparable to the current i7 NUC, but the performance seems to be better than I would expect from a comparably outfitted NUC.

I got a lemon with a bad video card. Reinstalled Windows. Removed Graphics card drivers and reinstalled updated Nvidia drivers. Replaced DisplayPort cable. Still have green lines on my monitor and random video blackouts(which force you to reboot).Obviously, this GeForce 3060 video card is a dud. I'm 2 weeks outside the return window so now I have to ship it back..wait for repair and do without a desktop for weeks. Unacceptable-

Just received this and slapped Arch Linux (LVM with LUKS) on it. This little guy is FAST. One thing to note is that the product description calls the CPU an "AMD Ryzen 5 4650G Quad Core Processor". This is not entirely correct. It is an AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G with Radeon Graphics (12). That number in parenthesis is the logical core count. The 4650G Pro has SIX physical cores, with two threads per core, for a total of TWELVE logical cores. So it's better than advertised. I am adding a second NVME drive and already slapped in two 1TB SATA SSDs in RAID 1. Everything is working perfectly.

Definitely amazing piece of hardware. Works great as a concept. Came in great shape nothing wrong with it. After updating I had no problems with anything. To boot to uefi you should install the software from the manufacturer as well- love it has impressed all my non tech friends.

I am not a gamer. I got this because I needed the CPU/GPU for Adobe Creative Cloud apps. On my old laptop, I would start PhotoShop, then go do something else until it opened, up to 10 min later. Now, I click on Photoshop and it just opens. I don't have to wait and wait for After Effects effects to render. What sorcery is this? Had it about 3 months. Very happy with it. Sometimes the HHD clatters, but it's mostly pretty quiet.

Product was exactly as described.Worked perfectly.Very pleased with it.

This is not a 4650g. The seller will not respond to questions. The 4650g has vega7 not 11. Vega 11 is last generation and 12nm. The 4650g has vega7 on 7nn.
