Today we get hands on with the first MSI Project Zero prebuilt desktop we’ve reviewed here at KitGuru. The Project Zero Infinity from CyberPowerPC features an MSI Z790 Project Zero motherboard, an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU alongside 32GB of Kingston Fury Renegade RGB DDR5 memory running at 6400MT/s, and an MSI RTX 4080 Super. As well as looking the part due a distinct lack of visible cables, the specs should lead to some stellar gaming performance, and we’re putting both to the test today.
