CyberPowerPC PROJECT ZERO Infinity (14900KF + 4080S)

[@KitGuruTech]

Sorry for the spam - please report any that you see! And in the mean time, give us your thoughts on this prebuilt PC from CyberPowerPC...

[@jamesjessenden7838]

I really like the thinking behind project zero. It totally makes sense and it's something that would be a standard already if there weren't so many players in the market.

[@KitGuruTech]

Me too and I hope that what MSI are doing with Project Zero (as well as Asus with BTF) pushes more brands to follow suit - Mat

[@GameslordXY]

​@@KitGuruTech Gigabyte supposedly also has one such board as well.

[@inlovewithmycar7085]

Yeah gigabyte do one. Don’t think it’s a white board mind you

[@visionary4787]

Finally, a pre-built system that feels like it’s stepping into the future, both in design and performance. The aesthetic shift with Project Zero is more than just eye candy-this cable-free approach feels like a turning point in PC design. And while the performance benchmarks speak for themselves, what intrigues me is the balance CyberPower strikes here: the build looks sleek, but it doesn’t shy away from raw power. I can’t help but wonder if this clean, minimalist design is where high-end gaming rigs are heading. Imagine a future where every PC is this elegant.

[@KitGuruTech]

I certainly hope so - This is a stunning PC, just missing a few finishing touches here and there

[@GameslordXY]

@@visionary4787 I've seen MUCH cleaner builds without Project Zero boards. And the PSU➡GPU cables were hidden. And I am certain you did so aa well

[@CyberPowerPCUK]

More choice is always a beautiful thing for gamers 😁😁

[@Hajikul506]

Thanks Mat, your reviews are getting better and thanks for removing the wall of graphs and using real world testing, its much easier on the eye and interactive for video

[@KitGuruTech]

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the gaming section a bit more - it's definitely more fun making them this way :)

[@iamahappybunny7640]

Project Zero is good. I like the 'ASUS version' too, but I refuse to buy ASUS after all thats happened in the last year or 2. so MSI get my money. I see Cyberpower on their website seem to work very closely with MSI, as a lot of their boards are MSI - real shame they didnt hike the price up a little and put in a white motherboard, and a white GPU - unless they ran out of stock and if that is the case then they should really have canned this build and went black and came up with something else. Surely these videos are meant to show people in the UK what they can do, and surely the first thing a kitguru audience will do after looking at specs will say, 'well this has just been hashed together quickly without much thought'. Shame, they missed an opportunity.

[@KitGuruTech]

The system does ship with a white 4080 Gaming X Slim - They didn't include one due to stock issues - Mat

[@GameslordXY]

What's wrong with the specs?

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

[@user-uv8qn1br8q]

Wow this video is up for all to see with hardware that visually doesn’t match. Why would they want everyone seeing this as a showcase of what they do 😮

[@Stella-w5q]

I thought James usually does these types of reviews and Mat does sitting down?

[@PreciousMira-n8s]

There’s a lot of nice matched components here; it might be worth the premium over a self-build.

[@ShivaShiva-kj8ys]

Project Zero is great, very clean as you said.

[@KitGuruTech]

Less visible cables is always a win in my book - Mat

[@thetechdevil-jn1vo]

That GPU triggers me in this system, was focusing on it all the time while watching this video, id have to sell it and get a white card, even if it wasnt a 4080S - Yes I have problems I know 🙃

[@KitGuruTech]

No problem at all - it bothered me too. Fortunately the system does ship with a white 4080 Super if you pick one up - Mat

[@SarahBytesBack-s4e]

I did the exact same!! It just doesn't fit the aesthetic 😂

[@ayanshaikh8338]

white gpu, vertical mount, would be much nicer - why did they fire a black GPU in this?

Great question - one we do not have the answer to!

[@skhasibul9241]

Thanks Mat, overall not a bad system, bit expensive for me, but the CPU and GPU cost a lot of money

[@ArifMondal-jy6mi]

Good video, nice quality in the gaming section, really great GPU the 4080 super. still very expensive too, waiting on nvidias new range coming out soon

[@lucifersheadscarf6988]

Good job there mat, thats a pretty good looking system, I cant help but feel they got into a bad situation at the end and they realised they had no white GPUS left in stock. I know everyone will comment on it - I like that case, I know James didnt, but its pretty good.

[@KitGuruTech]

Thank you

[@amdforlife5591]

Gpu was swapped out as they ran out of stock mat said in the video it ships with a white one. So this video isn’t a good reflection really on what you would buy.

[@JulianTurner2019]

How does the MSI Z790 Project Zero motherboard perform in terms of connectivity and expansion?

[@NoahLife97]

Great video. I love it

[@QuentinStephens]

A beautiful build. I'm all for Project Zero. My concern is the components: the motherboard has only one GPU connector power - remember that when testing suspect GPUs you often put them in another slot. Never mind other slots being used by powered cards. And does the motherboard have an adapter for a non-project zero GPU? Equally, how do you use that GPU in a non-PZ motherboard?

[@KitGuruTech]

The GPU power is connected to the PSU with a standard cable and the Z790 PZ motherboard has 3 PCIe x16 slots

[@QuentinStephens]

@@KitGuruTech Ah, I was mixing up with the Asus PZ stuff.

[@Eesaregood]

Looks like a pretty decent 4k gamer really cant complain...

[@jamesjessenden7838]

[@festerleech4952]

@@jamesjessenden7838 Its not cheap compared to a PS5 pro or but its not bad if you compare against other gaming PCs with the same spec.

[@01Gamemaster10]

There is only 1 zero cable system and that is from Asus. Only Asus has ALSO the gpu without cables so that is true zero cables. If you want to do something, do it good or dont do it at all.

[@Francioslusi-kg6cx]

except its not really AIO have cables. there is no miracle ASUS cure for that one. also mounting a GPU vertically cures that problem. so id say if you want to something right, do it right. nothing to do with ASUS thank god as they have done very little right for years, except screw people over with poor customer support

[@Everychillitsjustlife-cz8zz]

@@Francioslusi-kg6cx good point, vertical CPU mounting is the way to go, and you would do it really in a system like this if you put some attention to detail in the build. I would say its a shame cyberpower didnt in this one, but its an ugly black GPU so no one cares anyway lol

[@barrychuckle2559]

But no-one in their right mind would buy an Asus BTF graphics card when a 4070 Ti Super BTF costs more than a regular 4080 Super.

[@01Gamemaster10]

@@Francioslusi-kg6cx I agree Asus is a shit company and I wouldnt buy anything from them but that has NOTHING to do with my comment ;) Fact is Asus still does is right with the no cables pc and others dont (this time). And an AIO has nothing to do with the basic pc components. Choose another cooler, problem solved.

[@pixelrefresh348]

Is Asus project zero the MSI project zero the same thing?

[@rajuvalvi9424]

I dont think the black GPU looks too bad, the mobo kinda suits it as its black in parts too. silver or white would be better however and vertically mounted- DO these guys offer vertical GPU?

[@PoojaDevi-vu5hf]

The overall look is fine, but its hard to overlook the mismatching on the colours - the case I quite like so thats not an issue even thought I know you guys didnt rate it too highly overall

[@Eesaregood]

For some reason the rgb annoys me too when its not a uniform colour on the white case.

[@SushilJatav-y1v]

Decent build, good hardware spec. generally - the GPU they are selling now with it, makes a lot more sense, shame this one was sent to you guys, didnt do them any favours

[@सूरजशाक्य-थ6ह]

I think the pricing is fine - I priced it up as close as I could and its about the same price, is it a 3 years warranty with Cyberpower

[@KitGuruTech]

I agree - It’s a fair deal - Mat

[@hothardwareforthewin-he4fz]

[@RaviKhichi-pv4nl]

The MSI cooler is meant to be pretty good, I watched a video review of it a while ago and it scored well.

[@KitGuruTech]

[@KatarabhupendrBhupendrka-eq8dl]

Do they give you all the extra cables from the PSU they never used in the box? thats important

[@cars291]

It does remind me of Tetris. I wonder why? Elegantly buildt

[@Francioslusi-kg6cx]

The more I look at this system and price it. It’s really not bad value at all. The fact it ships with a white gpu now cures the biggest issue.

[@ramesh82953]

[@theonlyredspecial]

Good review mat 👍🏻

[@GameslordXY]

I've seen far cleaner builds not involving Project Zero mobo. The tubes are extremely annoying. Like fat wires. James once or twice had a radiator or whatever that alowed tubes being almost completely hidden with just a small part protruding above the CPU itself. It was glorious. Black cables going into the GPU, also ruin the aestetics. Would be much much better to have white cables. No need for cable mods. Just white PSU that should come with white cables. All that I am aware off do. Having the GPU in the so-called vertical position (according to the geometry laws it's still horizontal)which is really just sideways horizontal, where via vertical GPU stand fans face the glass, the PSU➡GPU cable is completely hidden. White aircooler also makes things much cleaner. No tubes. But I suppose with 14900KF aircoolers might not be an ideal solution.

[@dreschaffhausen5693]

Hopefully arrow lake will mean the return of air coolers. Save a load of money and the system is way simpler.

[@GameslordXY]

@@dreschaffhausen5693 Eh, best of aircoolers can cool some quite powerful Intel CPUs. Especially now that Intel imposed some limits to how much CPU can be pushed. Thermalright Peerless Assasin passed the tests with flying colours. The CPU in question? 13700K . And Phantom Spirit is even better. Both are between 30 and 40$. Thermaright Phantom Spirit is a match for the mighty Noctua D15 Gen 1 . In some tests it has same or slightly better temps. Which makes D15 G2 not worth except for Noctua fetishists, because it is not immensely better.
