It's nice to see a CyberPower build that doesn't look cheap and plastic.   Granted you paid extra to guarantee that it doesn't.   Kinda sucks that this is the route many have had to take to get their hands on a 30 series.

Nicely done.   


Now Im going to go play with a configurator just to see how bad it can get.  

Honestly their prices vs everyone else is not bad, MSRP on the parts, when they had a larger supply of GPU's you could pay the extra MSRP difference and get the card you wanted like I did.  Now its all the lottery but you can win paying basically the base model price of a 3080 and end up with an EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra same with the 3090. Seen it happen a lot and go :o 

I took their base Black Pearl model and upgraded most of it with better parts, if gigabyte was not so shady with their 850w that would still be in my system. Since CPPC does not have a PSU at 850w that I would trust or would trust at the time, am getting a refund on the psu already sent it in. But I took a 1900 dollar pc at the time now its about 2100 and made it into a 2634 dollar machine shipped so about 400 bucks extra for them to build it and ship it. Upgrade a few things myself because they didn't have what I wanted, set some settings myself, for the price honestly its not bad at all. But with CPPC you better know what you are doing to make the experience as good as mine has been. Really love the setup and cannot wait to take my OEM BR card with the contract CPPC and EVGA has and get my stepup to a 3080 FTW3 Ultra. At that point the build will be done for some years. Just hope the next time I need a gpu upgrade the GPU shenanigans is still not going on. Would be nice to reuse most of this build, love the case, the new psu has been great so far, AIO is solid, Extra fans look cool.

Also been spending a lot of time on their discord helping people. Be it helping people know to register their cards with EVGA and the benefits that brings. To other vendors if they really like their lottery card. To setting things up in the bios from CPU’s to ram, helping people their their hardware cooler with fan configurations, the importance of a quality psu and going beyond the recommended so they have less problems in the distant future as a PSU ages. The important of bios updates when they have issues and how to do it. GPU driver issues. Trouble shooting issues, some come up from them picking a bad psu, or the badge batch of gigabyte parts coming out, to the infamous UPS yeeted my stuff and something broken but don’t know what it is. Have helped a ton of people in my spare time.

Slow and steady will eventually get to the end

Looking good much better.

Looks pretty good with the additions, however that support bracket seems out of place. I do like that is masks the PCIe power cables but I dunno, it just doesn't fit in my opinion. Maybe if it had some vertical venting in it or something to break up the big wall of metal or plastic. 

Hey, Donta, that is looking sweet! Good job!
 
I have a few friends that went Cyberpower PC as well, and they like the builds other than many of the things you stated.
 
Keep it up! You'll get there!
 
I might buy one to snag the 3080 out of and sell the rest to a friend who wants a 5950x build.
 
We'll see...

Honestly its a small price to pay to get a 30 series card, the small things are all things you can do yourself and you really didn't pay the premium to have some other company do it.

Well between you and someone else and they just pointed out there is a RGB one.... So I guess the one I have now can go into the other machine I'm fixing up and upgrading.

So i guess something else incoming...

Any temps drops on the CPU/Block? That memory cooler can help dissipate heat from that area.

Its pure cosmetic at this point, DDR4 runs pretty cool now as it is, then the top CPU's run so hot two little fans are not going to make a scratch at lowering these CPU’s temps.

Looking great . 

Well dimensions for Vinyl done and about to do a picture in transparent overlay light or dark smoke vinyl to go on the side panel as well. Just have to decide. It’s super simplified enough it won’t drive my wife or I insane.

New glass panel?   You didn't have one of my experiences did you?

And looking good.  Really like the all red pic.
 

I was cleaning the plastic film residue, to finger prints off the front panel glass and some how it popped out and shattered on the floor. Replacement will be here on Monday. I won’t be cleaning any of the panels with them on for now on only on the table sitting flat on a micro fiber towel . Smh.

It was a sign your rig telling you it doesn't like the vynil🤣🤣😼

Go be a hippy smothered in Haterraid someplace else! It happened way before the Vinyl.

. Before i do can you help you choose or troubleshoot the right flavor
 

 

 

I like grape, blue and fruit punch honestly.

More Vinyl to cut, one more text logo to make, 6x fan logos to make. More fans, maybe a custom GPU ARGB Bracket to be made. Statue would not fit without a small table/stand bike won’t clear gpu.
