Cyberpower Gamer Extreme XI desktop / PC

Standing two feet tall in a blackclad NZXT Khaos case, the Gamer Extreme XI is a spacious system that towers over most of the other Dream PCs. CyberPower packed the Gamer Extreme XI with dual Thermaltake ToughPower 1,000W PSUs, two 32GB Ridata SSDs (as well as two Hitachi 500GB Deskstars), and a NZXT Sentry LX fan controller. A fan bracket in the center of the case holds three 120mm fans that move air over the three GTX 280 graphics processors and the 4GB of memory, while an Asetek LCLC liquid-cools the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770. We liked that CyberPower chose to locate the storage drives at the bottom of the case near the power supplies, so you dont have to look at a bundle of cables strung throughout the case. Instead, the power and SATA cables sit neatly together and dont obstruct your ability to reachthe hardware.
Although the internal design was well thought-out, we noted the two 1,000W power supplies were a little loose when the system arrived. CyberPower indicated that it used the standard screws for the power supply mounting bracket, but in the future, the builder plans on using larger screws that can better hold the weight of the two PSUs. On the front of the system, the NZXT Sentry LX fan controller includes five fan controls and took up two 5.25-inch drive bays.  The controller features both Auto and Manual modes for the fan settings and temperature alarms. The Gamer Extreme XI was fairly quiet with all the fans running, and it was nearly silent when we shut off the three center bracket fans.
As its name suggests, this system is designed for gaming, and with 22.32fps in Crysis and 59fps in world in Conflict, the Gamer Extreme XI was in the top half of the PCs in our gaming benchmarks. The P20294 Overall 3DMark Vantage score was also respectable. However, the Gamer Extreme XI trailed behind the other system in many of our other benchmarks. In particular, its 5925 Overall PCMark Vantage score was noticeably lower than the competition. Although price wasnt a primary concern in our Dream PC roundup, we should note that the Gamer Extreme XI, while offering similar components, comes in at lower price than many of the other dream PCs.
This particular Gamer Extreme XI doesnt have one of CyberPowers custom paint jobs, but CyberPower indicates that it may offer paint mods in thefuture for this model.
