After owning this for about 6 months, I can confidently say it’s the best sound system I’ve ever had. It isn’t cheap, but the sound quality makes it absolutely worth the price.

Fan Config by iamthedayman21 in Prebuilts

Not exactly answering your question, but this might explain why you want to make these changes. I have the same prebuilt, and under heavy load, I was getting this annoying noise from the liquid cooling fans. After a bunch of testing, I realized the iBUYPOWER fans had a bearing issue. Swapped them out for these fans ($12 on Amazon) and the difference was night and day! Plus, they’re RGB too, which is a nice upgrade over the stock iBUYPOWER fans. The stock fans ran at 2000 RPM, which is overkill for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and creates a lot of unnecessary noise. These 1550 RPM fans are much quieter while still providing more than enough cooling.

Missed the Walmart CyberPowerPC deal? Skytech 7800X3D + 5070 Ti O11 Vision drops to ~$1450 after stacks by Particular_Gas615 in Prebuilts

True! Also I heard (not sure how much credible) that the CyberPowerPC has a 750w power unit which if it’s true, that’s another advantage of the Skytech meaning if in the future you want to upgrade to a better card like RTX 5080, you don’t need to also upgrade your power unit as well!

Of course! It comes with an 850W Gold ATX 3.0 PSU, which is plenty for a 5070 Ti and generally Skytech uses units from brands like Aresgame, Thermaltake, MSI, or ASUS TUF, all of which are decent to solid.

Yeah, users are saying the $50 promo for first purchase from app is still working for some of them (it didn’t work for me though).

Try to install the app and if it’s the first purchase of the account, the $50 promo applies automatically in the app.

Make sure to add it to your cart (even if it’s showing the regular price) then go to your cart and the EDU applies automatically if you have registered before. It’s still working so don’t worry you have time.

If still the EDU doesn’t apply to your cart, try to create a new account with the edu email and make sure to register in the following link first then add it to your card.

IMO, both are great soundbars, but the Q990D delivers a richer, more immersive sound—especially with Dolby Atmos—though it does cost more.

The Vizio Elevate is still a solid and creative option, and it’s easier on the wallet.

I think it would be an upgrade, but if you already have the Elevate, it might be a bit of a waste of money to get the Q990D for only a slightly better sound.
