Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon unboxing, ensure all protective packaging materials are removed from the interior of the case. Connect your monitor to the DisplayPort or HDMI ports located on the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card, rather than the motherboard video outputs, to ensure optimal performance. Place the desktop in a well-ventilated area with at least six inches of clearance on all sides to prevent overheating. Regularly dust the internal filters and fans using compressed air to maintain airflow. For software maintenance, keep the system updated via Windows Update and ensure your NVIDIA drivers are current using the GeForce Experience application.
