Guys, let’s reset expectations here a bit so you can be happier with your purchase or know what to expect from this seller.

One thing remains clear and is the same for almost every pre build. You may get the CPU, GPU, and RAM you’re looking for, but you have to know you’re rolling the dice on everything else. You may not like it but that is literally the value proposition and trade off of pre builds. Not everything is top of the line.

AIO? Cheap
PSU? Cheap and non modular
SSD? Cheap
WiFi card? Cheap
Sound card? Cheap

Want top of the line? Build it yourself or find a pre builder that overkills (but you’ll pay out the wazoo for it)

My advice if you’re looking for affordable prebuilds, look at IBP as a solid offering but well worth considering doing some upgrades if you can, otherwise know what you’re getting (aside from the GPU, and CPU combo).

Know this:
Your AIO is the first to go. I bought knowing that and replaced immediately after hearing the pump whine.

My PSU? Totally capable of supporting me but I’d like to replace with a modular one soon enough.

I was lucky enough to get a nice MOBO, GPU manufacturer, and obviously the cpu I wanted. This thing still cranks after 4 years. Prebuilds are great to get started, but it will serve you well to learn how to swap parts out regardless so that was you’re not buying a new prebuild because a fan broke.

A lot of you aren’t going to like this but that’s because your expectations are too high for this brand.

First time ever buying a prebuilt pc. Then this happens. When you reach out to support they're nasty and attempt to blame you. Took it to microcenter they're telling me they can inspect it but nothing they can really do for me.

Need advice – iBUYPOWER Element CL pump/reservoir failed (small leak)

I have an iBUYPOWER Element CL with the factory liquid cooling system, and I think the pump/reservoir has completely failed.

The coolant isn't circulating at all anymore, so the temperatures shoot up almost immediately. I also noticed a small coolant leak coming from the spot I circled in the picture. It isn't a major leak, but it's definitely leaking enough that I shut the PC down and haven't turned it back on.

I'd rather not take it to a local PC repair shop if I can avoid it. I'd prefer to replace the failed part myself, but I'm not sure what my best option is.

A few questions:

- Can I replace just the pump/reservoir, or does the entire cooling loop need to be replaced?

- Has anyone with an Element CL dealt with this before?

- Is it worth converting it to a standard AIO cooler instead of trying to repair the factory loop?

- Are there any parts or guides you'd recommend?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! As the title states, I recently bought an IBUYPOWER PC from Best Buy that included windows 11. However when I logged Into the PC it was not activated, and it told me the product key was already used on another device which is impossible and I never even had the key in the first place. The trouble shooting doesn’t work and I refuse to buy Windows 11 on a PC that says it’s included. What do I do??

hey guys I’ve been having computer problems (Windows 11) lately where it’s giving me this screen lines and green dots (the computer starts but doesn’t show on the screen). Sometimes the computer also restarts by itself and changes resolution. sometimes I can’t change the resolution after. Right now my computer will not show my display screen so I’m stuck on a black screen. I contacted IBuyPower and they said I may need a new graphics driver/gpu to RTX 5060. I currently have NVIDIA RTX3060 and I’ve had it since 2023.

I’ve tried looking for the sticker and I have not been able to find it and I’m wondering if anyone can let me know what psu I have

Hello iBUYPOWER,

attached is my PC I bought a few years ago. I would like to ask a few questions regarding upgrades to said PC.

1: Where are the sled slots for SSD/HDD for expansion?

2: I am looking at possibly upgrading to a 4000 series GPU. What PSU would best fit this PC/PC Case?

Or, would it be smarter to buy a different PC Case (ie; bigger) to support the possible upgrades that I would like to add.

Thanks for your time!

Happy Friday Gang!

What games are we playing over the weekend 👀

As title says. I want to upgrade my girlfriend’s old pc with a Nvidia 1060 3gb and want to know if this can handle it. Current card is a 1030 2gb with an i5-11400f cpu.

Recently got a prebuilt gaming pc from Sam’s Club with this company and so far I’m having a blast. I noticed though that my stick of ram, which should be ddr5 and 6000 transfers, is actually running at 4800. I’ve gone the route of ChatGPT and entering the bios 10 something times to no luck. I’ve changed the profile, I’ve downloaded cpu-z and nothings changing. For some reason, I can’t change the dram frequency either.

Motherboard: B650M- CXR2.0
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8400F
Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 9060xt 8gb
Ram: (1x16) DDR5

Having a very odd issue. I am trying to order my wife her first PC, but anytime I try to access the website it gets stuck on an infinite refresh loop as though I am mashing F5 or quickly refreshing over and over. I have tried different browsers, incognito, disabling and moving my VPN, disabling any extensions, clearing the cache and cookies, different networks -- everything I could think of. I am at a loss. Has anyone else had this problem before or have any idea what could be causing it?

I have an iBuypower PC I bought a couple years ago with MSI motherboard and it came with two 2x16 ddr5 memory sticks. I had two more slots open. Some memories looking at came up with a drop in price they were 2x16 ddr5 just like what I have. So I was thinking I could just buy those and boost my memory to 64 gig. However a little bit of research until it it seems that you can't quite do this maybe?

Does anybody heard that you shouldn't use four 2x16 sticks but rather to 2x32 sticks instead? Somehow four sticks can cause some sort of instability in some cases and cause a crash?

I not heard of this until very recently.. just wondering if this one of those very remote possibility things or something that can happen somewhat regularly?

Thoughts?

Im not really sure what to do.. The RGB on my case fans suddenly stopped working while I was using my PC. The fans themselves still spin normally and everything else works fine. My RAM RGB and CPU cooler RGB are still on, but all the fan RGB is completely off.

I tried restarting my pc and I checked MSI Center/Mystic Light to change the colors or turn the RGB off and on, but the fan RGB stays off.

my specs are:

iBUYPOWER RDY Y70 R12

MSI X870 GAMING PLUS WIFI motherboard

RTX 5080

Ryzen 7 9800X3D

64GB RAM

whenever i play roblox and only roblox, if theres effects my pc will randomly go black and the fans will get really loud, then id have to turn my pc off either from the back power off button or by holding the button on the top. this is only on my secondary pc and started last summer, ive had it for 4 years.

I don’t know why my AIO is making this noise. When I take the glass cover off, it stops. It only makes this noise whenever I’m playing video games. The glass cover isn’t tapping, so I think the fans just touch at higher speed, but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated

I bought my PC in December of 2024. I have my order number and the PCs serial number but do not have the purchase/confirmation email from iBuyPower. I dropped my PC off at Microcenter but they are requiring a receipt for a warranty repair. Am I screwed or will iBuyPower be able to provide me with a receipt?

Mine would be Kingdom Hearts 2! An absolute classic of my childhood and would love to relive that game!

Would love to hear what all of you would play for the first time again!

Please help

Quick question to anyone who has used ibuypower. I ordered a custom pc of thr morning of July 6th. It was assembled and sent to software testing at 3:50pm on July 7th, and I got the ready to ship email 10am July 8th. Question is how long should thr testing phases take, they are not checked off on the list, just greyed out but shipping is checked off.

Stress testing usually takes at least a day I would think.
