I bought this exact computer last week, it's a beast. This is the motherboard: https://www.asus.com/motherboards...-a-ax6-ii/

My 4070 Super is an msi (I realize that can vary)
Memory is T Force Delta 16GBx2 5200

I found a discussion of this pc on reddit. Here is what they said about the loudness.

"I have one, and the fan loudness is fixable. For some reason the BIOS setting has the case fans going at max speed all the time, so I just went in to the settings and set up a curve. Once I did that it's much quieter now."

That's the neat part. You can upgrade the wifi chip yourself with a desktop. Also, no one uses wifi on a gaming machine.

Please let us know about the fan noise and if and how you changed the fan speed curve.

Bought both the iBuyPower 7 and 8 at Costco to see the relative noisy difference and I'm glad I did. The 7 averaged around 52 decibels but the 8 was much higher at around 63 decibels. It was loud enough to be irritating so I'm returning the big boy.

On both units I went into the Bios and attempted to change fan speed and ASRock Polychrome setting for RGB. The save and exit completed but nothing actually changed :'(

Kinda sad that with a new gaming desktop has basic functions/features do not work. I'm sure the iBuy peeps will blame with motherboard company but in the end it's a pain in the arse for me. I guess I'll live with cycling rainbows and higher fan speeds until I figure it out.

That Alienware desktop came back, but it's now $1800.
The 1800 is sold out, but $1500 one is back. With all the possible discounts and cash back, Alienware is the better deal for a better GPU.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the motherboard in this pc.

https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/P...I/Overview

On that page, it describes how you can change fan speeds. Again, I could be wrong. I haven't actually received the PC yet. This is just from some internet searching.

Aren't pre built PC sales only worth it if you can't build it yourself cheaper? This feels more expensive that you building it yourself own with better parts, or just me?

really? wifi 6 is stopping you from this deal? Might as well add bluetooth 5.1 to your list. Smallville123 is correct...any one serious about gaming dont use wifi. Stick to an ipad if you using wifi for gaming.
Just buy a good USB external wi-fi antenna, they're $80 at Walmart or best buy. I rent and can't run cable through the floor but this fixed it for me

Is the fan speed adjustable?
Yes, in the bios settings. Covered in an earlier post.

Is this worth $400 extra over i5/4060 Ti for $900? I mean is this really day and night difference for starters?
Definitely worth it. You're getting i9 and 4070 super gpu which has 12 gb gddr6.

I can use some advice. I can wait on a laptop for 6 months. With 15th gen chips and 50 series GPU coming out soon, will this desktop be much cheaper after 6 months?
Lol! With our new criminal pres, and the promised 25 to 60% tariffs, computer prices will skyrocket all the way to the moon.

My guy, and everyone else purchasing these and thinking they'll have to "put up" with the sound. First off, congrats, this is a great deal for the amount of PC you're getting.

I very recently got a Cyberpowerpc (similar to ibuypower in the sense it's a pre-build) build from Sam's club. A clearance find that was exclusive to my store. It was a AIO water cooled 13700KF, ASUS Z790 prime, ASUS 4070 12GB dual OC, 32gb ram and 2TB NVMe for those curious.

Now getting to the point, these builds have fans wired in the most lazy way and directly to the PSU in most cases with only an RGB header plugged into the mobo. This is the reason changing fan profiles or speed has no actual response. You may not be getting any rpm readings either for these. A little bit of exploration and rewiring will go a long way. Google and YouTube are your friends. Download your motherboard manual and start reading their guides on fans.

Basically you want to rewire the chassis fans directly into the motherboard 3 pin connectors, to get the motherboard to be able to control the fan speeds (and fan profile) by load. On my motherboard these connectors are labeled CHA_FAN1 and mine has 3 of these.

Having them directly wired to the PSU keeps them on at full blast all the time, hence the noise.

Lastly, in my case my AIO pump and the associated two 120mm fans cooling my 240mm radiator were plugged into the right mobo connectors. The rest of the four chassis intake and exhaust fans were not. I had to manually to this and it makes a world of a difference.

Feel free to ask questions. If there's enough interest I can try and help more.

Good luck, and again congrats!
