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

I don't have any regrets pulling the trigger on this one so far compared to the other deals I've seen since.

In order to resolve that you'll need to disconnect the fans from the PSU and then connect them directly to the MB and then update the corresponding fan curves to your liking. Depending on what MB is shipped with this prebuilt, it could involve getting a fan splitter.
In their post they also mentioned that they had run into this issue on a CyberPowerPC and not iBUYPOWER, so if anyone who has actually purchased this computer can chime in I think that would help.
I just came back from Costco. They have this on the floor. The fans go into the mb, not the psu. Don't farking compare apples to oranges or A to B. It doesn't make any sense.
Components that I could initially identify w/o disassembly
MB: ASUS Prime B760 M-A AX6 II
GPU: PNY VERTO OC GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER 12 GB
Memory: XPG DDR5 5200 Lancer Blade
SDD: T-force Z4A7
Power Supply: No labeling but 700W per box specs.
Fans appear to go to a secondary/sub/controller board which ties into the USB 2 header on MB as far as I can tell. I will update this thread once I fire her up and see what the fans do.
UPDATE: Confirmed that toggling the case fans to PWM mode (in the BIOS) quiets them down significantly.

1) No liquid cooling - does anyone see this as an issue that has experience with this system? I9 seems like it would run a bit too hot without it.
2) Intel CPU degradation issues - does the update from Intel truly mitigate the stability issues this CPU had? Wondering if any AMD x3D deals will drop that are better.
It seems the fan noise issue can be solved, that's a plus.
Any input is appreciated, thanks!
I decided to go into the store this am when it opened to get one while the wifey gets some grocery stuff. By the time we left some 20 mins later, there was only 1 left, with the tape a bit removed. I could have gotten it via delivery in a few days but I decided I'll get it sooner so I can set it up asap and not take a chance it be out of stock. Great deal, I just might take up gaming

Half the ram, half the storage, step down with CPU, but has liquid cooling with bump up on GPU (4070Ti Super) and can be ~$200-300 cheaper than this deal with various discounts and cash-back (10% off coupon, 15% CB site, 5% CC CB)
Easy fix.. and contrary to what all the randos said, is to switch the fan profile to PWM. The default is auto, and choices are DC and PWM.
Boot your pc. Spam the del button or f2.
In bios switch to adv.
And under fan settings just turn all the fans over to PWM from auto.
You'll notice the fan noise go away before you even to restart and save.
If you need help I'll post some pics.

Any thoughts on the cpu temps without liquid cooling present? That's the last thing holding me back.
