day 1. 12/8/22 Just hooked up the PC and i am writing this review from the new PC. Before i go on.. i want to make clear what i am reviewing because that was the cause of my 1 con.
I am reviewing CYBERPOWERPC Gamer Xtreme VR Gaming PC GXIVR8060A12 which came with:
ASRock B560M-C/AC micro-atx motherboard
Intel Core i5-11400F 2.6GHz,
500 GB WD Blue SN570 M2 drive
GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB with 2 fans
8 GB XPG ADATA AX4U320038G16A DDR4 3200 ram .
EVGA 600W Gold 80 plus power supply
4 RGB case fans with remote
wired gaming keyboard
wired gaming mouse
half dozen of 1 ..... 6 of the other
- The case is plenty big enough for a DVD drive. wish it could be installed by removing 1 fan.. but no go.
- no SD card reader
- Why do i have to have a stupid Microsoft account to even turn this thing on. so dumb.
- would have liked to have had the MotherBoard book in the package. but i can Easly download it
Pros:
good price. good spec.. good components. good gaming pc for THIS price.
arrived exactly on the day it said it would.
Unigine benchmark score of 11087 right out of box
Con.
Really just one complaint causing a 2 star drop. I read the reviews and they said an internal drive could be installed easily. I pulled off the back cover and there is room for 3 extra drives. but NO rails to install them. I looked in the box but nothing. No way to install the storage drive i had in my old PC. The reviews must have been for a different Cyberpower PC.
I'm going to go to cyberpowder's website and try to order some rails. If i can't get any. this thing is going back.
day 2:
Cyberpower responded to me and suggested some coolermaster HDD rails. They also provided me a link to Coolermasters site to buy the rails. Back to a 4 star . The rails that will work are

final initial review- 12/12/22
rails arrived today. I installed them onto the hard drives and they and fit in flawless. The RGB case fan lights can be turned on and off with the remote. They go off when the computer shuts down.
The RGB lights on the motherboard stay on all the time. ASrock has software "ASRock's RGB Polychrome Utility" that should control this and allow you to turn them off when the PC shuts down. I haven't played with it yet but i will.
I installed my two SATA drives from my old PC and they are working perfectly. I also removed the 8GB of XPG ram and replaced it with 16 GB of Cosair. 16 gib was only $8 more than a single 8GB stick. The Bios picked it up and is running dual channel automatically.
My GPU fans were not coming on so i panicked and contacted Cyberpower tech help again. As with the HD rails they responded the next day but in truth i freaked out for nothing. I ran a stress test and both fans did come on when they needed to as the GPU heated up..
Cyberpower's customer service moved review from 4 to 5 stars.
