The name of this gaming PC is Cyberpower Ultra 7 RTX, however we want to be crystal clear, this is a completely different system from the PC reviewed by Dominic that had the exact same name. In fact, the hardware is very up-to-date, as the latest Cyberpower Ultra 7 RTX has an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X graphics card, MSI RTX 3070, and a Samsung 980 Pro SSD.

You can get an idea of the performance of the Cyberpower Ultra 7 RTX by taking a look at Luke’s review of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, one of Dominic’s RTX 3070 reviews, Simon’s review of the Samsung 980 Pro SSD, and Allan’s review of a Corsair RM850X Power Supply. If that little batch doesn’t whet your appetite, you clearly haven’t been shopping for new PC hardware in 2020 as we’re looking at a good kit that has scored well in our reviews.
Unfortunately I cannot link it to a review of the Lian Li Lancool II Mesh case as we did not receive one to review and that is irritating as the case looks pretty good. In the video I said that the case has an opening for a USB Type-C connector, however there is no hardware in the case. The explanation is that Lian Li sells the Type-C connector as an accessory for £ 12 and the box is supposed to have a blind plug in the hole, but for some reason that plug was missing in our review sample.
Perhaps the strangest aspect of the Ultra 7 RTX is that Cyberpower removes the original fans from the case and replaces them with a full complement of six 120mm RGB fans that are connected to their own fan control hub that is activated by a control. remote. Clearly none of us want another remote control in our lives and it seems a bit strange to remove the PWM control as it tends to work quite well, but as you may have seen in our video this approach works perfectly well, although it is quite unusual. .
Testing and performance
Performance Summary
We ran a selection of games and confirmed that the Cyberpower Ultra 7 RTX will comfortably play games at 1440p and can almost handle 4K. This is not a surprise, as both the Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 3070 are known quantities, but naturally we wanted to check that the hardware was behaving correctly.
It was a similar story with CPU intensive tests like Cinebench R23 and Blender, as the CPU was happy to run all cores at a constant 4.6GHz speed. We were a bit unhappy to see that the system comes with DDR4-3200MHz memory as we know that AMD Zen 3 responds well to 3600MHz RAM.
Cooling performance overview
In regular games, the CPU and GPU run at a constant 70 degrees Celsius, while CPU-intensive tasks push the CPU to 82 degrees, so we’re happy to report that everything is under control.
Final thoughts
You can argue all day about whether Cyberpower could have settled for a Ryzen 5 or should have pushed for a Ryzen 9, and whether an RTX 3070 is powerful enough or not, but the fact remains that this PC plays at 1440p and can pretty much handle. any task you throw in their direction. One area where we disagree with Cyberpower is 1TB SSD storage. While we are very happy with the choice of the Samsung 980 Pro, we are sure that the PC requires additional storage, be it on a hard drive or an additional SSD. One area that concerns us is the MSI X570-A Pro motherboard, as we have seen reports of VRMs overheating.
The Infineon IR35201 controller sends four signals through duplicators to power the discrete OnSemi MosFETs in an arrangement that looks like a bargain basement, yet we’re confident that the Ryzen 7 5800X will happily run on Auto without a hitch. The motherboard question mark will come up if you decide to upgrade your CPU at a later date or overclock and we think the wise thing to do is pick another motherboard when setting up your new PC (and ideally grab something from the USB-C panel at the same time. weather).
And then we get to the fans. On the one hand, the PC performed admirably well, while on the other hand we hate having remote controls that can get lost or damaged. RGB is one thing, but the idea of having your fans locked at a certain speed because you stepped on the goddamn remote seems like a really annoying prospect. On the other hand, you may have seen our video and thought ‘Great, I hate using the BIOS to set fan curves’.
One click works for me. ‘ We can see both sides of this argument and we don’t like the path taken by Cyberpower very much. If we ignore the process and instead look at the result, we have six fans packed into the Lian Li that work effectively with very high levels of airflow, while the RGB experience is so good I could almost swear the case has glass in each panel.

Pros:
- Solid 1440p gaming experience.
- Samsung 980 Pro is one of the fastest SSD you can buy.
- Lian Li Lancool II Mesh has excellent airflow and is fully filtered.
- Sit back and enjoy the RGB light show!
Cons:
- MSI X570-A Pro motherboard has very weak VRMs.
- 1 TB of storage is not enough. This clearly comes down to cost, but there must be a way to include a 2TB hard drive.
- The fan control hub requires the remote control for RGB and fan speed adjustment.
- There is no USB Type-C on the front I / O panel.
- DDR4-3200MHz is fine, but increasing to 3600MHz would help the AMD CPU.
