CyberPowerPC Hyper Liquid Infinity PC Review

Power & Temperatures

Power & Temperatures are always going to be a stickler when you’re using the most power hungry and quite literally, hottest products on the market. The Core i9 14900KS is a CPU that’s notoriously been canned for its power usage and overall thermals, but with the assistance of the dual custom loop cooling solution, things were kept pretty under control.

In terms of power consumption, we measured the CPU and GPU max power during each game run, and that’s displayed in the following chart. Combined, you’re looking at upwards of 600W of power being used concurrently between both the CPU and GPU, but going into this, we never expected power to be low, as we’re utilising the very best components on the market right now and that comes at a cost of power consumption.

Temperature wise, I was pleasantly surprised by what results we saw across both the CPU and GPU. In terms of the GPU, the highest temperature we saw was 52 degrees in Warhammer 40,000: Darktide with Ray Tracing enabled, but for the most part, games were hovering closer between 42 to 51 degrees.

For the CPU, the lowest temperature we saw was 70 degrees in Dying Light 2, with the highest temperature being 86 degrees in Horizon Forbidden West, though most of our results were around the mid 70 degrees mark.
