The system ships with an graphics card made by Asus, which is upgradable and said to be hot swappable. Out of the box graphics capabilities include ray tracing, VR headset support, 4K output, and up to 240 Hz refresh rate output. The console uses dual 1 terabyte PCIe NVME Seagate BarraCuda solid state drives for storage. Unusually for a console with such a small market, these specifications are relatively in line with other consoles of the ninth generation. Uniquely, the system reuses heat generated by compute elements to keep chicken warm in a specialized chamber. Most game consoles treat generated heat as a waste to be expelled, making the KFConsole one of the only consoles to intentionally retain heat. Interestingly, another marketing focused console released around the same time as the KFConsole, the BL6, also had unconventional heat management to enhance snacking while gaming, though this was to cool beverages rather than heat food, and used thermoelectric cooling technology to transfer heat away from beverages to achieve this rather than reusing waste heat generated by the console.
