Destroy the competition with the CYBERPOWERPC Gamer…
Customers say
Customers like the space, value, performance, noise and appearance of the desktop. For example, they mention it has plenty of room inside for additional drives, it works like a dream and the six fans are whisper quiet. Some are satisfied with the ease of setup. That said, opinions are mixed on the noise level.

So far so good. But needed a bit of work on setup.
Overall:A great gaming PC, providing me consistently high framerates on HDR 1440p screens. Images have been buttery smooth, crisp, and beautiful. Even games that are commonly reviled for poor optimization issues were managing just fine. Graphic and CPU intensive games are holding up well, with the AIO CPU cooler keeping thermals well-managed around 75 Celsius under intense loads. The shipped PC has a BIOS version from September of this year, so it should be just fine for those who don’t know how to do that.Very importantly, this PC is highly upgradeable. The AIO Cooler can handle any Intel CPU on the market with ease, and the power supply is juicy enough to spin video cards that cost more than my ’94 Honda Accord from high school. It has many storage slots and tons of space on the inside for components, and really love that vertical riser to prevent sagging/damaging the PCI slot if I ever decide to bump up the GPU to something especially beefy.Setup:Runs fast, runs somewhat quiet. Windows was configured no problem. I also expanded the RAM from 16 GB to 64 GB no problem, and added additional storage drives.After everything was up and running, it did need some tweaking here and there in BIOS settings. Biggest thing: XMP needed to be enabled for the RAM. Also, fan curves needed to be set up, so they’re not constantly going at 60% speed even while idling (using the “auto” fan curve setting works fine). The PC was running a little loud with the fans constantly going, but configuring their fan speed has reduced the noise to a more suitable level.Troubleshooting:Issues? Yeah, a few. But I’m keeping this a 5-star review anyway. These are issues that probably wouldn’t bother most users, and they are easily handled if you have cursory experience setting up and maintaining a PC. Honestly, most of these issues could happen with just about any PC ordered and delivered online, so consider it a helpful checklist of considerations.Biggest issue first. The motherboard’s wifi drivers on my particular PC seems to have corrupted, and they stopped working after updating Windows and restarting the PC. Did some poking around, reinstalling, command line hootnanny, no fix found yet. Fortunately, I have a spare wifi/bluetooth USB receiver as well as an ethernet cable, so with a functioning workaround already on hand, I haven’t needed to dig deep troubleshooting this problem. I’m sure it’s a simple fix if I worked harder on it. But if I didn’t have that USB receiver, or just didn’t know much about computers, this could’ve been grounds for a dismissive one-star angry review for “shipping with broken Internet installed.” You know, THOSE kind of reviews. Fortunately, CyberPower, I ain’t like that. I’m a solutions-oriented kind of guy. If it happens, y’all just buy a $10 USB receiver. It’s a useful little life-saving device that everyone should have anyway.Protip! You will need a Phillips head screwdriver. I mean, you should have one anyway, but have it at the ready. The protective padding inside the case was a bit difficult to take out, requiring me figuring out how to remove the front-facing panel to give it a better angle to be extracted. It’s not hard to actually do, just tough to figure out. You have to remove the right-side panel, which will give access to three Phillips head screws in the front of the chassis that holds that panel in. Remove those screws, and then you can get the other wad of padding out at a less motherboard-destroying angle. Note: one of the thumbscrews at the back of my PC’s case isn’t properly aligned, so it took a bit of work with a screwdriver just taking it out, and I’m unable to screw it all the way back in. No biggie, case still looks beautiful, panel firmly pops in anyway without that screw, so I’m fine with that.I was having some minor thermal issues after a couple weeks, noticing that my idle temps had risen from 34C to 45C. I discovered that two of the screws on the AIO pump were quite loose. Don’t know if it happened during transit or assembly, but turning those screws to a “comfortable hug” tightness helped. So now instead of idling at 45C, temps are now idling around 32C.The remote control for the case RGB lighting shipped with a dead battery. Certainly not a deal-breaker, but does raise concerns for quality control at CyberPower. Fortunately, the case RGB controller uses the same frequency as many other RGB devices’ controllers, so I was able to use my monitor LED light strip’s controller instead. However, if I didn’t have that, I would be needing to buy a separate replacement battery to disable the default rainbow deluge billowing forth from the case.I also found a lot of the pre-installed MSI software didn’t actually function with this PC. You would think that would be where the different configuration settings for the case RGB would be, but unfortunately, the MSI apps are just slow and not really useful for anything. Maybe it works with different fans, and mine was built with leftover third-party inventory? Who knows. Super easy to uninstall.Conclusion:So…I was ready to build my own PC. After selecting all my desired parts, I decided to compare my final build’s cost to other prebuilts on various websites to see how much I saved. Apparently I didn’t save anything, because I found this beastly thing! It was somehow cheaper than my parts list, yet still exceeded it with a better CPU and GPU. And my goodness, the case, talk about one heck of a statement!I’ve only been using it for about a month, and after a week or so of tweaking and tinkering with settings and getting everything properly configured, I’m quite impressed. Though, one month is also not enough time to have a definitive conclusion for now, so this review may be updated later if any issues with hardware failure or poor customer support spring up. But for the price and the hardware on offer, this beautiful monstrosity is absolutely worth it. And when the time comes to build the next PC hopefully many many years down the line, I’m definitely re-using this gorgeous case.

Efficient & Powerful Option
I really wanted a rig, but I’ve never sprung for liquid cooling before. I’ve built all of my PC’s since 2000 on my own and this time around I just wanted that extra punch and decided to go ahead with this built since it met all of my spec and pricing needs. It arrived quickly within about 6 days and was cleanly packaged, carefully assembled and had zero setup issues. The computer case itself was a little unique so I needed some help getting the panels off but once the initial setup was done, it was a perfect plug and play powerhouse unit.I’ve always been a “build it yourself” elitist, due to the trouble involved with pre-built units but this certainly has changed my mind on that topic as of now and I’d consider buying another one in the future or even just using this base unit as a modular upgradeable unit for years to come. The performance was easy to control with propriety software, the noise level was virtually silent; especially with headphones on which most gamers have on anyway– and a performance level to match it.A lot of people get wrapped up in the elitism and untrustworthiness of pre-built units and it’s understandable with how many shady companies there are, but this one was astoundingly easy to setup and the price point was manageable. I had one single question about the RGB fan controller software “MSI Center” while setting it up and CyberpowerPC support answered my call within 2 minutes and quickly slid me the answer I was looking for; which wasn’t even a problem with the build, it was a software question which was very nice of her to clarify.

Pretty Big, and really colorful!
This is the second CyberPower pc i have bought, the last one in 2019 and i figured it was time to upgrade. This computer so far is really nice. one of the more higher end computers I’ve had. Wasn’t sure with some reviews i read before i bought it. but i inevitably said screw it why not spoil myself. Not only do i love it because it literally looks like a fish tank (its what i named it The Fish Tank) and i think that looks really cool, but also because of power id be getting out of this compared to my other computer. My other pc still runs pretty good, network card seems to be going, but i mean it lasted me 5 years of HEAVY gaming. That means i already like the brand, so with that said this computer here is far more immense than my last. great cooling, multiple sides to open if you need to go in and repair/ upgrade parts. the top even comes off to reveal a radiator, i mean i feel like it has it all. BUT.. if you made it this far in the review you must be looking for a ‘con’. Unfortunately, yes there is one ‘con’ ive found so far.. My Gpu slot, well… it looks like the pins that are suppose to be in the Gpu slot itself are coming out (picture provided) i don’t really know to be honest look for yourself. OTHER THAN THAT.. i have not had or seen any other problems 2-3 weeks in. Still recommend. p.s. some times you will get unlucky and get a PC that’s ‘DOA’ or ‘DAA’ its okay if you notice it or something wrong, return it immediately and try again. (Have to say that because of a buddy who bought one of there computers lol)

Great whisper for my buck!
This pc is so quiet, I can barely hear it. And it’s on my desk near my head. Easy to set up. And really looks impressive. The “whisper for my buck” seemed like a clever title since it is barely heard, but it’s a very powerful machine, you know. like the saying “get a lot of bang for your buck.” It was priced well, and I just added my own RAM to it, since 8gb of ram was the only place the machine really needed to be “upgraded” out of the box. I won’t have to upgrade anything else inside it for about 5 years. Enough time to save up to start buying parts again. lol, it’s a never-ending cycle, huh? Good Machine. I would recommend this machine to anyone. 🙂

Was shipped sooner than expected and is very easy to set up. No bloatware and most drivers were up to date or not too far back. Very powerful machine with a lot of future proofing potential.
