CyberPowerPC Hyper Liquid Infinity PC Review
Andy Ruffell / 2 months ago
When thinking about buying a PC, you have two choices. The first is to build it yourself, and the second is to buy a pre-built from a system integrator like CyberPowerPC or similar outlets. Typically speaking, buying from a system integrator can give you huge benefits. You don’t have to deal with the manual work of building, you get a warranty, and often the value behind buying a pre-built offers significant upsides as system integrators generally have stronger buying power for components. This can result in savings being passed on to you, the consumer, or allow for a better-quality build than what you’d put together yourself with the same budget.
Another major benefit is customisation. Using a configurator on the system integrator’s website, you can adjust the finer details like fans, lighting, and the all-important main specifications of your build. These are things you can do if you build yourself too, but the Hyper Liquid Infinity system we have today takes it a step further. With this system, you get a fully custom loop cooling solution. Not only does this give the PC a stunning visual appeal, but it also means your system runs cooler and quieter during those long gaming or work sessions.
Before we dive into the review of the system we have in front of us, it’s worth mentioning that CyberPower has revamped their configurator. Whether you’re a die-hard Intel fan or a dedicated AMD enthusiast, there’s something for everyone, from entry-level to high-end systems. The configurator allows full control over the base parts, cooling components, coolant colour, and even the level of overclocking, which ranges from no overclock to Pro OC (10%), Extreme OC (20%), and Ultimate OC (30%). Each of these options comes at an additional cost, so you can truly tailor the system to your specific needs and budget.
Now let’s talk about the system we have here. Buckle up, because CyberPower has sent us one of the most extreme systems in their line-up. I’ll warn you upfront, this won’t be a budget-friendly option at £4999.20, but when you see what’s included and the overall quality of the build, you’ll understand why. The Hyper Liquid Infinity system is a powerhouse, designed to tear through AAA titles and handle 4K gaming with ease. This is a system built for enthusiasts who want nothing but the best.

With these specs, it’s clear this system is engineered to handle the most demanding tasks with ease. The combination of the Intel Core i9 14900KS and MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Suprim means that 4K gaming and high-intensity tasks like content creation or rendering will be no problem. The 32GB of DDR5 memory and 2TB of ultra-fast NVMe storage round out this powerhouse of a system, making it both a gaming beast and a productivity monster.
Value
So being honest, that’s a lot of system, but for the money, you’d expect nothing less. When CyberPower were looking to send this spec out for review, and the fact that we hadn’t worked with each other for a while, they wanted to make sure that it was something special, and the fact that it arrived on a pallet by a specialist courier company, things were already off to a good start, as this is the type of service you could expect as a customer who buys this type of heavy duty system, and I’m not joking when I say that, this thing is no light in the slightest.
One of the major perks of buying from CyberPower is their Desktop Standard Warranty: 5 years’ labour, 2 years’ parts, and 12 months of collect and return, along with lifetime technical support. If you want more coverage, you can pay extra for a 2-year collect and return warranty, or even opt for a 3-year parts and collect and return warranty for added peace of mind.
Now that you’ve got a good look at the specs and the service, in the next sections, we’ll break down each individual part of the build in detail, from the CPU and GPU to the cooling system, and how they performed during testing, including benchmarks, thermals, and more. Stay tuned for in-depth coverage of what the Hyper Liquid Infinity brings to the table in real-world scenarios, including gaming at 4K, intensive workloads, and the overall user experience.
