CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Supreme Liquid Cool SLC10200CPG Gaming PC (Intel i9-9900K 3.6GHz, 16GB DDR4, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB, 1TB SSD, WiFi & Win 10 Home) Black

1) The system is very fast and has some nice HW. 2) On board audio is not stand alone 7.1 (or 5.1) without additional purchase called tech support three time got three different answers -- BUT they did try their best and I have dealt with much worse. One person said I needed a front audio module and he called it an DAZ (no clue but I Google searched it and it came back in the big bucks range), the tier two support advised a third party sound board (DUH but dont say your system supports it -- so this is the option I am taking). 3) Manuals are on CDs but the system has no optical drive. Tech support said the info was loaded to the computer but I searched manually and then let Windows try (good luck with that) and found nothing. 4) Nice case but the lights are a little overboard, again no manual as to were to add additional HDDs. On the CD you get the motherboard specs but you cant read the manual with this pc. Not real obvious but found were it went without breaking a warranty seal. As for Durability I am running a thirty day power on -- Ill let you know if it fails

First thing I did after booting it up was try to run a benchmark but it threw an error about a missing DLL in my face. It then wouldnt let me install the required DirectX runtimes to make it work. I had to reformat using my own personal copy of Windows 10 home (a USB stick version.) See, they give you a backup DVD with windows and motherboard drivers but then theres no optical drive is there? The motherboard drivers were luckily easy enough to find on Asrocks website. Anyway, that worked so lets get on to how it runs. Hot. and. loud. The cpu idles around 30c (ambient around 65F) which is fine, but very quickly under load will hit low 80s. Sustained load in the 90s. Thats under TJmax, so if youre not overclocking its probably fine, but still quite warm. The CPU cooler is not the loud part though in my experience. Now, the RTX 2070 in here is MSI branded, not entirely sure which specific model. Its benching below reference 2070s in every bench I try though so lower end is my guess. This is the loud one. If youre gonna be doing any sort of serious gaming, get some earplugs. When that fan starts revving up, which it will, HOLY CRAP IS IT LOUD. Youll hear it at 40%, youll debate putting vsync on at 70%, and I havent even tried 100% since I dont want to go deaf. That being said, max temp Ive seen on it is mid-70s. As I saw in another review, the fan arrangement is bizarre. All of the fans pull air into the case. I assume its meant to vent out the top but theres no fan there to help it. Some reviews were saying the RAM was clocked at 2400, mine specifically is 2666 though. So, some anecdotal actual performance numbers. 3DMark Time Spy: 8540 NovaBench: 3137 FFXV bench: 6300 Fallout 4, 1440p ultra: around 60-80 fps out the world, but will dip. Witcher 3, 1440p ultra: around 80 fps outside Novigrad Train Sim, 1440p ultra: 30 fps and somehow still has stuttering World of Warcraft, 1440p literally everything maxed: 100+ fps in the world, 200+ in most dungeons, havent tried in a large raid situation TL;DR conclusions: I should have just built my own. I have the know-how to do it, I just got lazy. I feel like I wasted a lot of money here but not enough to warrant the hassle of a return. I also think I overhyped the 2070 in my head. I know now its roughly equivalent to a 1080 non-Ti. Oh, and the included peripherals are actually even worse than I had already imagined. I dont expect that to be a shock to anyone though.
