Summary
A 42-liter prebuilt gaming desktop built around an RTX 5080, a 360mm liquid cooler and an 850W power supply, aimed at 4K gaming without a build. Check the exact configuration before you buy: this model’s Core Ultra 7 265K and 32GB of RAM sit below the Core Ultra 9 285K and 64GB in every published review, so the CPU benchmark numbers do not apply.
Strengths
- The RTX 5080 delivers strong 4K gaming, with 144 fps in Forza Horizon 5 and 121 fps in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
- The 360mm liquid cooler keeps CPU temperatures in check, and no review saw thermal throttling.
- It runs quietly under load; reviewers describe the fans as a hum you can drown out with a headset.
- Upgrading is easy on paper: 4 RAM slots, 4 M.2 slots and 2 x 3.5 in HDD bays.
- Thunderbolt 4, a front USB-C and 2.5GbE cover modern peripherals.
- The internal build is tidy, and the glass panel comes off with two thumbscrews.
Weaknesses
- Dust filtration is nearly absent, so the front grille feeds fine dust straight into the 360mm radiator.
- Storage is slow: the WD SN740 drives measured 5,278 MB/s read and 4,874 MB/s write.
- Memory modules are bare PCBs without heat spreaders.
- The included keyboard and mouse are low quality, and Lenovo Now bloatware is preinstalled.
- Cramped space behind the motherboard and around the PSU makes upgrades fiddly.
- Pricing swings widely, and the exact configuration’s Core Ultra 7 265K sits below the reviewed Core Ultra 9 285K.

Full research notes and sources
Gaming performance
The GPU is the same across every version of this tower, so the review numbers are a fair guide to gaming. In the reviewed RTX 5080 units, CNET measured 154 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 4K Highest and 178 fps in Guardians of the Galaxy at 4K High; IGN saw 144 fps in Forza Horizon 5 and 121 fps in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, both at 4K Extreme with DLSS Performance. Windows Central hit 196 fps in Forza Horizon 5 with DLSS and frame generation.
CPU-bound results come from the Core Ultra 9 285K, not this model: Geekbench 6 single-core 3,231 and Cinebench 2024 multi-core 2,290, both from CNET. The exact model’s Core Ultra 7 265K should land below those figures, while 4K frame rates should stay close.
Dust, cooling and upkeep
The 360mm AIO keeps the CPU cool and reviewers saw no thermal throttling, but the front grille has almost no dust filtration, so fine dust blows straight into the radiator. Plan on cleaning it regularly to avoid clogging. The RAM ships as bare PCBs without heat spreaders, and the glass side panel comes off with two thumbscrews.
Upgrades
Four UDIMM slots take up to 128GB, and there are 4 M.2 slots with PCIe Gen5 support plus 2 x 3.5 in HDD bays. The extra PCIe x16 slot is blocked by the GPU intake fans, and space behind the motherboard and around the 850W PSU is tight.
Which configuration this is
This page covers the US model 90Y6001JUS, sold with a Core Ultra 7 265K and 32GB of RAM. Every professional review tested a different configuration with a Core Ultra 9 285K and 64GB, so treat the CPU benchmark numbers as an upper bound. The US listing is ASIN B0H4628D1M.
Price and value
Lenovo listed the exact 90Y6001JUS configuration at $3,099.99, and a Reddit owner discussing the same model saw $4,657.49. Reviewed configurations sat higher: CNET tested a $4,749 build and IGN a $3,099 one, while Lenovo’s line starts at $2,699.99. Expect frequent discounts, because Lenovo’s “Est. Value” figures swing widely. Windows Central also notes an Alienware Aurora with similar specs at $3,149.99 and an ASUS ROG G700 with a Core Ultra 7 at $2,749.99.
