Specifications

SpecificationValue
ProcessorIntel Core Ultra 7 265F; 20 cores (8 P + 12 E), up to 5.3 GHz; no integrated graphics

The “F” version has no integrated graphics, so the monitor must always connect to the graphics card’s outputs rather than the motherboard.

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti; 8 GB GDDR7

This is the desktop card, not the laptop version. The 8 GB of memory can hit its limit sooner at high texture settings than the 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti.

Memory32 GB DDR5-5600 (2 × 16 GB UDIMM); four slots, up to 64 GB

Two slots stay free; Lenovo’s platform limit is 64 GB.

Storage1 TB M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 NVMe TLC SSD; three M.2 SSD slots in total (PCIe 4.0 x4 or 5.0 x4) and an optional 3.5-inch drive bay

Lenovo lists up to 2 TB per M.2 SSD; RAID is not supported.

Motherboard and expansionIntel B860; 1 × PCIe 5.0 x16, 1 × PCIe 3.0 x4; 4 M.2 slots (1 for WLAN)

The B860 chipset does not support CPU overclocking; the graphics slot can take a stronger card later, but the power supply limit must be checked separately.

Power supply and cooling optionsPlatform offers a 500 W (88% efficiency) or 850 W (90% efficiency) PSU; 65 W/80 mm, 150 W/120 mm ARGB air or 200 W/2 × 120 mm liquid CPU cooler

Rear ports1 × USB-C 10 Gbps; 2 × USB-A 5 Gbps; 4 × USB 2.0; 2.5 GbE RJ-45 (Realtek RTL8125BGS); 5.1 audio outputs
