Mine is a amd ryzen 3 with a Rtx 560 4gb, with 8 gigs of memory ..what the best memory upgrade for this please
I'm relatively new to gaming on computers and have only recently begun upgrading said computer. The first step was to brave the process of switching out ram sticks. Went from 4 gbs of ram to 32. Very simple, but I was afraid of ruining my computer for some reason. Now, the upgrades I want require more power, so I wanted to make sure the power supply could handle it. This video helped me figure it out, and I appreciate it. Keep up the great work
You're welcome, and thanks for the upgrade write-up. May I ask what brand and model numbers you used for the RAM and PSU, and is it ok to include it in the description with credit to you?
I haven't commented since your first video, but the quality of this video is astounding. I'm sad your channel never exploded like I'd had hoped 2 years ago. =\
Very grateful that you've stuck around 🙏 I'm hanging on but I think some of my videos may be too niche for my own good 🤔🙂
It's the robot voice, never super popular
Thanks you, your cloning windows 10 video helped me update an older emulation pc. Now its blazing fast
Awesome 👍 Glad you found my video helpful. Thank you.
I watched this video specifically to see how to open the back panel haha. I was just trying to pry mine open and it felt stuck. I knew there had to be something else holding it in place, but know I know you need to slide it to get it open!thanks!
Thank you - glad you found the video useful 👍
access random pls help my back panel will not come off
I bought mine new off ebay for $499. Box was damaged in shipping and there was a dent in the left top side of the case, so i got a big discount. I put in a 2 tb ssd for storage on the inside of the right side of the case. Also updated the ram to 16 gigs of crucial sport 3200mhz gaming ram. Mine also came with the msi bazooka mother board. Video card is the amd rx 570. Nice video.
Thanks for the additional data point. It's not the exact model I have, but that sounds like a great deal with a lot of upgradablity.
Hey man, so I’m curious how you like your PC? I’m trying to buy one for $700. I’m just curious how you like it and if you think it’s upgradable? Also if you don’t mind what FPS do you get running multiplayer games on low settings?
Great video! Although i will want/need an optical drive and was waiting to see where it would be installed and how to access it.
Thank you 🙏 That's a good question - it appears that the case wasn't built for an optical drive since it doesn't have any 5.25" bays (nor is there any opening in the case to mount one). I think the best bet would be an external USB optical drive.
@@accessrandom yes i will have to get the external drive. Thanks!
I have a b350m bazooka in mine and I had to upgrade the bios to accept the ryzen 7 3700x but it does work. I also have g-skill ram up to 32 GB running at 3200 MHz. The CPU is overclocked game boost to 4.2 gigahertz. I bought my computer about two years ago so it doesn't have the two fans in the front so I need to figure out some more air cooling. I'm also looking to upgrade my graphics card because the four gigabyte card just doesn't do well in certain games
Hi! First of all great video it's very helpful thank you! I have a question. I bought my Cyberpower PC a few years back at Bestbuy and it came with a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RX 580 4gb. I did however upgrade that 4 gb version to an 8 gb version but I notice when using MSI Afterburner my temps run a little to high for my liking. The case only came with two fans pre-installed one in the front (bottom) and one in the back. They are both the same kind of Apevia fans as in this video. I also recently applied new thermal paste to the cpu and temps went down just a little. I believe I need more fans for better air flow but I have no idea which fans are compatible with this case. How many fans can the power supply support? Should I just install a better cpu cooler and some additional fans to help reach lower temperatures or upgrade my psu or other components as well? Thank you :)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Grave detail 💪🏾💪🏾
Thnx!
I’m really struggling with taking the back panel off, I’ve undone the thumbscrews but it won’t slide off
When you undo the thumbscrews, they should dangle from the panel (they don't come all the way out). If they're undone, there should be a slight bend on the sheet metal that forms a handle, where I pull on it at the 6:38 mark. You might have to pull fairly hard - just be careful...
Same
@@accessrandom I’ve tried doing this but it seems like the back panel is held on by the might of god
@@sosigscuffer6442 Hmm, it could be that the sheet metal is warped so that it presses harder against the case, or maybe the latches that slide into the grooves of the case at the top and bottom are bent? There shouldn't be any other adhesive or screws other than those two thumbscrews.
@@accessrandom I don’t know all I want to do is install a new ssd but I can’t get the back panel off at all
When I set my son's up I was shocked at how little storage space he had. I went to install another SSD and found a 1tb drive that was never hooked up. It came from the store that way.
Hey anyone who got this PC it’s a thousand percent worth it, however this case design is slightly bad for heat, so adding those fans, as mentioned by the video narrator, will fix the issue and keep it cooler than its suggested temp at idle speeds!
Hello great video very in depth and informative. I have been having an issue with my PC that is almost identical to this one I think just my processor is different. Im using an HDMI port from my GPU to my monitor, my PC is not sending an HDMI signal to my monitor. I have swapped cables, monitors and tried DVI as well and nothing. Mouse and keyboard lights up, pc is on, fans spinning like normal blue led light on my RX 580 is on so it has power.
It was working fine one night and the next morning I got nothing. Any suggestions? Kinda don't have alot of money to take it to someone. Thank you
Fantastic quality video.
I just purchased a variant from this company featuring a ryzen 5 3600 and rx580. It does have a 250g SSD along with a 2TB HD stock. What I wonder is, are these (this) companies putting the windows operating system on SSDS out of the box?
Thank you. Unless you have a model that explicitly excluded Windows, CyberpowerPC has their own OEM Windows license embedded in the BIOS (at least the one that I have) and included it out-of-the-box.
how does i access the front if i have a glass front panel?
i bought a pc similar to this with the same psu same gpu just the cpu is a ryzen 3600 can the psu support a 6600xt
Hi. I'm kinda new to upgrading. I've been working mainly on my laptop but just decided I wanted a PC for more powerful projects and to start learning animation.
Would it be easier to buy a power PC and upgrade it, or attempt to create a PC from scratch?
The advantage of building your own system is that you know exactly which quality components you are getting since you choose what goes inside your PC. Sometimes, pre-built machines have limited upgradeability. However, this particular model has all standard parts so it's very simple to upgrade if you need to. The only question is the CPU at the moment - I'm not sure if it will go beyond 2nd generation Ryzens, though I suspect it can.
do you know if its possible to use icue or chroma to change the rgb of the fans... ive tried but it doesent work as it sits.. maybe i can plug them in a header that allows that function? btw i have the same mobo and fans.. ty!
That's a good question. I'm not sure of the interchangeability between the controllers and the rgb components, so I'll need to let others chime in - anyone?
I notice you didn't talk about the Antenna component. does the antenna part replaceable but if not where can I get a replacement or how to I fix my antenna problem that cannot connect the Wi-Fi. the internet works and I check the window and device setting they said it's in but no connection is made.
The wifi chip is on the motherboard which is an ASRock B540M, but I believe it is an OEM board. After doing some research on google, it looks like you could replace the wifi/antennae with another type-e card (but I haven't tried this personally so no guarantees) - or you could add a PCI-e Wifi card.
do you know if there is a 8pin power connecter for the GPU, I need this so I can upgrade my GPU to a AMD rx5700, also are there any extra included sada cables I want to upgrade my storage with a new ssd
If you see the jumble of cables at the 6:50 mark, you'll see an 8 pin (6+2) connector for PCIe and extra SATA power cables. However, SATA data cables are not included.
Is there a place to install a hard drive?
I am trying to get more than 4GB on my video card how do i upgrade it? i Subscribed cause your video was better than any i have ever seen
Many thanks 🙏. Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any way to upgrade the memory on the video card itself, other than to replace the card with another that has more memory.
I have the same case, but I want to replace the front panel to a glass one, to show more of my rgb fans, do you know if that’s possible?
I'm sure it is possible, but you'd probably need to do some heavy modifications (either to the existing panel, or to another to make it fit).
Cyber power absolutely took advantage of me. Lol.
I have the gaming supreme desktop with the 3700x and 5700xt is it easier to do upgrades with that one ?
I'm afraid I'm not familiar with that model, but the CyberPowerPCs are typically very easy to upgrade since they use standard parts.
im looking to upgrade i have this exact model. i wanna add another 8 gbs to make it 16gb of ram and another 250 ssd. can you recommend me brands for both and tools i'd need? thank you!
If you'd like to add RAM to the existing memory, I would recommend you match the same brand/model that you currently have, which (in my case) is the ADATA AX4U300038G16-BWZ. If that's not possible, try to match the same specs (DDR4-3000 1.35V CL16-20-20). You may want to double-check your brand/model since CyberPowerPC could substitute something else. In terms of the SSD, any 2.5" SSD will work (there is only one M.2 slot so you won't be able to add any more in that form factor). You'll need four screws/screwdriver to hold the SSD in its tray, and a SATA data cable to connect it to one of the SATA ports shown at the 5:31 mark.
@@accessrandom thank u so much bro! i wanna start steaming soon so im def gonna make some upgrades. this helped alot
I would like to upgrade to the 5700 Xt and a 3700x do you think the power supply could handle it?
No
Hello, I recently got this PC from a friend for the case, so I'm swapping out the internals with my own, but doing so the RGB Fans aren't working like they should it's not cycling through or moving like in the video, everything as for as I can tell is plugged in properly. (Didn't come with a Remote or anything like that) And I booted it up before swapping things and the lighting worked fine.
Were you swapping out the motherboard as well? I know there are different types of headers that need to match the fan system, but I'm not sure beyond that. I'll need to defer to other viewers who have more experience.
@@accessrandom Yes I swapped out the Motherboard, but I didn't see any headers on the old one that would of connected to anything on it. Both motherboards was pretty much identical
i have this same unit from bestbuy. I cannot help but consider returning it and building my own pc. i have had zero issues so far. but for the value you cannot beat it. 700 dollars out the door for all your getting BUT some of the ways cyberpower cheaped out makes me consider upgrading some parts. after research i calculated that this build would cost about 900 dollars if i buy the parts and assemble myself. Stuck between the awesome affordable value and wanting quality!! should i return?
Yeah, for the price ($650 + tax) this was a very slick deal for what you get, but I was most disappointed with the power supply, the CPU fan, and having only 4GB on the video card (even though that was as advertised). I personally plan to keep it and upgrade some components one-by-one as needed, starting with the power supply and then the video card when/if I decide to get HL Alyx.
Can you fit a Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 Dram 3200MHz C16 Memory Kit Black in this PC?
I haven't received any reports from other viewers, but the Vengeance should work as it is a pretty standard motherboard. Looking at other B450M motherboards, they support 16 GB in each slot up to a max of 64 GB.
I took off the 2 screws but the left panel won’t open
I’m too scared to force it open with a screw driver what do I do
If you're sure the two thumbscrews are completely unfastened, there's side panel has a slight raised "handle" which I pull at the 6:38 mark. There may be a lot of friction, but it should slide off.
I am not really a techy person but i bought this pc. I want to add a hard drive. Can you help me locate where to plug it. like all the plug where it needs to be plug in? thank you
Sure - when you install your hard drive, whether it's on the side (as I show at the 7:16 mark) or the front (at the 7:45 mark), you'll need two cables for that one drive: the SATA power cable and the SATA data cable. The SATA power cable is included in the bundle of cables that I show at 6:48. The SATA data cable is not included in the computer so you'll need to obtain one. With the computer turned off, you'll want to plug the SATA data and power cables to the back of the hard drive. The other end of the SATA data cable will plug into one of the four ports at the 5:29 mark.
can you do this for the newer model gma5200bst
Thank you for the suggestion. If I have the opportunity to buy one, I will certainly place it on my list of to-do videos.
I have the GMA5400BST and cant find anything online on how to add an ssd to it and if anyone knows that would be a big help, the ssd is the
WD_BLACK SN850 NVMe SSD with Heatsink - 2TB, if that matters. any help appreciated!
Would it be vr ready after upgrades
It depends on the requirements of individual games, but if you upgraded the memory to 12 GB and the RX 580 to at least 6 GB, that would meet the requirements of Half-Life: Alyx, for example.
I bought a Cyberpower PC 2 years ago from someone and I'm about to upgrade it from a Ryzen 3 2300X to an Intel Core i7-12700K. I know nothing about the case, but from what I can tell, the case in your video looks insanely identical to mine. Finding exact specs on Cyberpower PC cases is near impossible. My question is based on the standoffs on the case for swapping a Micro ATX to a Full ATX mobo. Can you shed any light on whether or not I will need to purchase standoffs for the new mobo? If so, are they standard #6/32 or another size?
I'll need to check when I open the case again and do a deep dive under the motherboard, but I don't think the standoffs are a custom size (everything else about the case/motherboard was standard - the motherboard is an ASRock B450M and the case is commercially available).
@@accessrandom I understand that it is comercially available, but narrowing down the exact model number is impossible since it is a prebuilt tower.
@@mlsj4598 do you think i can upgrade to a 3 wind force fan gpu with this case ? i already upgraded my motherboard and cpu .I have to upgrade my psu in order to have enough power for the 3080. But i need to know if i have to recase it or not ?
@@fwdonn I have a 3 fan Windforce GPU. An Nvidia RTX 2070 Super and it has plenty of clearance to the front of the case. My GPU is 286mm, and assuming yours is the same, you should have no problems with clearance.
@@mlsj4598 is it the same cass as that one ? i really need to know bc i want to be prepared
When I add ram to this model I get no display output can somebody help!!
is it possible to get a new led remote after you lost the original one?
I'm not sure if that is an OEM part - your best bet is to probably contact CyberPowerPC themselves to see if they have a replacement remote.
Could you upgrade the gpu to a geforce 2080 or no I'm am looking to upgrade the gpu to get more performance
Power consumption is roughly double that of the RX 580, but the 600W power supply should be able to handle it.
@@accessrandom thanks
I have this pc and I’m having a very hard time taking out the motherboard. I’ve unscrewed all the screws in the motherboard and it just won’t budge
When I look inside, it doesn't look like CyberPowerPC is doing anything out of the ordinary for mounting the motherboard. Does the MB flex at all to indicate where the sticking point is (perhaps near the I/O shield in the back of the unit)?
I bought one but forgot the screw driver and was sad.
how and were do i get and its an,me
How lond are the fans and what is the max ram I could get on it
The CPU/case fans are pretty quiet (at least in the room I use it). However, the RX 580 fans up rev up pretty loudly under load when playing graphics-intensive games. The max amount of RAM is 64 GB.
Can I go from ryzen 5 to ryzen 7?
how do you see where the power supply is what do i take apart
The power supply will be visible at the 7:16 mark when you remove the solid panel (not the one with the window). To actually see the model number information, you would need to remove the four screws in the back of the power supply that hold it to the case, then take it out it to see its label.
I have the Ryzen 5 3600 version does anyone know if it would be possible to upgrade to cpu to a ryzen 5 5600, with the way gpu prices are right now i thought i would start with the cpu. I already upgraded the ram and added a 1tb ssd
I'm not sure if it's possible but I know that other ASRock B450M motherboards can handle the 5600 if you update the BIOS before you install the new chip. However, it will really depend on the exact model of the motherboard - I'll need to defer to others who may have your model. Anyone?
Can a Samsung 970 Evo plus work with this pc
So far I've had only one report of a successful upgrade (in the description), but any M.2 SSD (sized 2280) should work. Let me know and I can add it to the list...
I'm getting a pc on Friday and I need help getting a new graphics card I have a new pc and I dont know much about it
Usually, CyberPowerPCs usually have at least a semi-decent video card included. You may want to first try it out with the games that you play and then decide if you need a faster card.
cyberpower pc with amd ryzen 5 1600 3.2 ghz amd radeon rx 580 4gb 8gb memory 480gb ssd 64bit Was wondering about one good upgrade I could do to it for gaming?? Thanks cool ass videos bud.
Thanks man. Even though it's a capable card, the RX 580 is now considered older and mid-to-low end and the 4GB limits it even more. I'd say the graphics card is probably the one good upgrade you could make, maybe to a 5700/5800 series AMD Radeon.
yes the almost same model i have just the front is a little diferent
I still can't take off the front and I had it for a year 💀 I been upgrading it so I have a rtx 3060 ti and 16gb corsair ram. But do u know how to take it off the front
@@TLS4-GEZA I’ve actually took of the front is a little difficult but it’s possible I clean it yearly
Thanks for this. Pathetic how CyberPower doesn't even have videos explaining how to install the hard drives. Would've been nice though if you went farther in as far as the wiring's concerned. That is, connected it to the hard drive.
Thank you for the suggestion. The next time I'm inside to upgrade the storage, I'll spin up the video camera for a future video.
@@accessrandom Would appreciate that, though I might be taking the plunge regardless.
You folks say tool-less yet I could almost swear I spotted the HD already in there being held in place with a screw. Intimidating trying to get in there past all the wires/cables mine's got in the way.
Do you know if this model already has the specs to play warzone? Im really new to pcs, bought this one recently, and I am struggling to stop it from crashing
I haven't played COD Warzone so I'll need to let others chime in. It looks like they have a set of "recommended" and then a "recommended additional" and "competitive" requirements on their website. At the very least, you'll probably want to upgrade your memory to 16 GB.
also the case is a Phanteks Eclipse P350X
That looks just like it. Do you mind if I add this to the description with credit to you?
is there a dvd drive?
Usually not
Your the best ! Lol
Can I upgrade this PCs graphics card to a gtx 1660ti
You should have no problems upgrading to the GTX 1660Ti. Power consumption of that card is actually lower than the RX 580.
Not worth the upgrade
Get the super instead
I don't understand what upgrades to buy and what upgrades not to buy for my Cyberpower pc. Such as What upgrades fit for the cyberpower pc and what's best for it? Please help/explain
I haven't received many reports of upgrades because the motherboard/power supply is standard - which means almost any component can be successfully upgraded. In other non-standard pre-builts (like the HP I show here: ruclips.net/video/V2lfuqKojvE/видео.html), the motherboard/power supply is highly non-standard and thus I get many more reports there...
Can you explain how to change the motherboard? I am trying to upgrade, but I don’t want to mess anything up because I was just brave enough to open the case. 🤣🤣
Make sure to protect yourself from static discharge (for example an ESD strap), then remove all the components attached to the motherboard, like graphics card, cables from power supply, any SATA cables from hard drives, case fan power). You'll see screws that fasten the motherboard to the case, so take those off - you can then swap it out with another motherboard.
Thank you so much thanks 🙏
One more thing, how would I go about changing the graphics card.
@@RS-jp3kg There is a small clip where the card is inserted into the motherboard, which you release to remove the graphics card. When you put the new one in, that clip will snap so that it latches onto the new card. Unfortunately, I don't have any videos to show you, but you may want to visit other videos on RUclips.
You have helped me so much. Thank you
Can I swap a Ryzen 3 to a ryzen 7 I have a cyber power pc that’s a ryzen 3
You shouldn't have a problem going from Ryzen 3 to 7 within the same series (for example, the 2000 series, or 2nd generation). It's only when you go from the 2000 to 3000 series, for example, where you may need to update your BIOS.
So say I get a ryzen 7 2700x would I be able to just swap it out without changing anything with the mother board ?
@@DavidRaah The only problem is that HP's specifications website doesn't list the 2700X as a CPU as a possible upgrade. The highest they list is the 2700.
Oh okay I see . Yeah this is my first pc . I can’t run warzone cause it says I need to update my drivers but my drivers are as updated as can be for my specs .
@@DavidRaah Sure, I own a similar configuration with the same motherboard with a 2700X, Same power supply.
is there a dvd drive
No, the case does not really have space for one as there aren't any 5.25" bays.
Mine didn't turn on at all I'm pissef
You think I can put an rtx 3060
With the 600W power supply, this should be able to run it with no problem.
No vga?
No, I'm afraid not. You'd need an adapter to VGA from one of the existing ports (HDMI, DVI, or DP).
I can’t open the front cover
If you have the same model as I have, you'll want to grab the opening at the bottom of the front face and pull out and up (the motion itself is shown at the 7:36 mark).
5:00 on mine they only gave me one :/
Oh, they must have given you one stick of 16 GB. On the bright side, you can upgrade your memory be adding another 16 GB module (preferably with the same brand/model that you already have), and you'll still have two slots left over.
@@accessrandom the gave me one stick of 8gb actually. the model i bought was only 8gb. i would have expected to find two 4gb modules though, since you get better performance in pairs, apparently.
The front won’t come off
There's a small opening at the bottom front where you'll need to pull forward and up, as seen at the 7:39 mark. You'll feel some resistance from the friction, but there's no screws or fasteners so it should come off.
Is it the same for a glass front?
where can you put a CD/DVD drive on this desktop?
Unfortunately, there's no external 3.5" bay for a CD/DVD drive. I'm afraid you'd need to get an external drive.
alright
I tried to download a 2nd game and it says I have no storage and I got the pc today PLEASE HELP I don’t understand I just downloaded 1 game
Which game(s) have you downloaded? 512 GB for the SSD is fairly sizable, so you shouldn't run out of space with only two games.
access random I downloaded Fortnite and I tried download modern warfare
@@gleesyy Fortnite requires less than 20 GB but Modern Warfare takes much more: around 175 GB, I would check Settings -> Apps to see if there have been any other large programs installed on your computer. Also check file explorer and see how much free space you have on the C: drive (I assume you are installing on C:).
How do I take out my graphics card it won’t come out someone help
There will be a small plastic clip that holds it in place, located on the motherboard on the PCIe slot. You'll need pull on that lever to free the graphics card. It's hard to describe so you may want to look up some RUclips videos on it.
access random yea I know what your talking about I pressed down on it and it still won’t come off
Well I just
