A great PC for a great price!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I ordered this PC on Black Friday for $650, A great price for the components included. This PC runs games amazingly; for example, Overwatch runs at a near locked 144fps at Ultra settings. This PC also comes with a keyboard and mouse, however, I find that the keyboard is too light and tends to move around and the mouse is also very light and uncomfortable to my large hands. Certainly not deal breakers, though. The RGB fans are a nice touch. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would definitely recommend it.

Great PC
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My PC arrived early and has great performance! The RGB is awesome and not too bright but enough. Gave it a good work out as soon as it was set up. The only downside was I was trying to connect it to my monitor via HDMI and it wouldn’t show in picture. I turned it off and realized the GPU/graphics card wasn’t sat properly on the mother board. It should’ve had some kind of insert to hold the parts in place during shipping, could’ve had a dead GPU. Other than than that fantastic!

too early to tell,,,,,
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the money, I got it on sale, it was a very good choice. I did a lot of online searching because I was not familiar with this brand. Turns out the have a very good reputation and make some incredible gaming systems. I did buy a Square Trade warranty/replacement plan. It was very good and it was a lot cheaper than Geek Squad / Best Buy. When i called iBUYPOWER to see if I could buy an extended warranty from them, they told me only if I bought it from their web site, The IBUYPOWER rep recommended square trade over the geek squad. Just from I have already read, they do the same as the geeks and maybe a little more.

4 defective units and still not fully functional
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this PC as a surprise for my partner. The video posted for the unboxing doesn't pertain to the BB971. First one, clearly opened. Exchanged. Second one, ram wasn't seated correctly and once fixed the boot loop the ram caused corrupted windows. (plus, the fan issue everyone is having). Exchanged. Third one, fan issue of course, plus the PSU wouldn't shut off with windows and the polychrome software removed the default RGB lighting effect. contacted iBuyPower and they told me that the PSU issue was feature so I could charge my phone when the PC was off and that if I didn't like it, to go into the system BIOS and change a setting, which I did and it didn't resolve the PSU issue. The polychrome software link they sent me didn't correct the RGB lighting issue, so I recommend not using Polychrome if you like the RBG effect (the rainbow) that's not an option in the Polychrome software and when you install it from the link they provided me, it says it's out of date and needs to be updated, which also isn't an option, no updates available. Plus, on this PC you couldn't fully plug in a USB on the front to USB ports. they still functioned, but they were loose and would rock so head headset would disconnect if the cable got moved even slightly. Exchanged. Fourth and final device. Unboxed the unit with the geek squad, fan issue of course, getting really good at fixing that one. This on also had the PSU issue. On this device the fix iBuyPower provided worked! Made sure Polychrome wasn't on the device it was because I signed into my Microsoft account and OneDrive so I deleted it from both because my partner loves the RGB rainbow fan effect. after all that the only issue I knew of before leaving the store was the same USBs not fully plugging in to the front two USB ports. I decided that I would live with it because of the value for the money. We also bought an M.2 drive to boost the SSD performance. installed the M.2 and the device wouldn't recognize it in Windows. looked it up on the ASRock which is the motherboard I got on all 4 PC's. there is a known issue for the BIOS software that you have to update the BIOS to version 5, but some have had issues where it bricked the motherboard during the BOIS update. So, that's it. We are going to hold on to this and watch the deal at Best Buy and see if anything else meets these specs for the money. I work in the industry so I was able to fix these issues in most cases except for where build quality just wasn't there. I've sent my experience to Best Buy and iBuyPower to see if they can fix these PC's before a parent who has worked their buns off to buy their kid a gaming PC for whatever gift giving holiday they are celebrating. It breaks my heart to think of an excited kid, opening this to play their favorite game and a parent that doesn't know how to troubleshoot issues, and it just ruins that special day for them. Also, iBuyPower pays for reviews, up to $30 in gift cards for posting and proving them, you posted. Funny side note the display PC at the store I bought it at also had the fan issue, which I fixed for them because it was really bugging me, and the same front port USB issue, which I showed them.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from iBUYPOWER Product Expert
Posted .Hello,
We are aware of the common fan issue that our customers write to us about. Unfortunately these issues are almost always due to damage in transit, as the fan connections are loosened in the process of transporting the PC to the s tore. We apologize for all the issues you had with your devices We do our best to ensure that systems are shipped out with no issues, so that our customers can enjoy them right out of the box like you mentioned. This is the case for the vast majority of our systems, but unfortunately sometimes some computers get through the quality check when they clearly have issues.

Game on!!!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This purchased was necessary because my son wanted a gaming PC. So I went another route and it did not work out well. This PC ended all my sons frustrations and gave him back joy for playing the games he likes. No only that he also gets immersed in automation which will help him as he become a teenager very soon. This PC is like a race car comparing to what he had before. To be start forward I should purchase this from the start, lesson is well learned.
