High Powered Hardware
In true 8Pack fashion, the Frame R8i is decked out with the latest and greatest gaming hardware available. For its processor, this gaming PC utilises the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU, armed with Zen 4 architecture and AMD 3D V-cache. This has a stacked cache design that allows for increased capacity. In total, this processor has a 144MB cache to play with, supporting faster fetch rates and gaming. Naturally, the processor has been overclocked by 8Pack, with PBO2 software. Only the best!
Next, we have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, powering your gaming with Ada Lovelace architecture. Featuring fourth-gen Tensor and third-gen RT cores, this GPU will bring all your AAA games to life in photo-realistic quality, with high frame rates and resolutions. It is called the Frame R8i, after all. This hardware has also been overclocked, enabling you to get the very best performance out of this PC.
Completing our overclocked trifecta, we have up to 64GB DDR5 RAM. This has been tuned to 5600MHz, ensuring the fastest and most stable performance out of the 8Pack Frame R8i memory solution. As a result, you can game with near-zero input lag and ultra-fast fetch rates.
Make It Art
We all know that 8Pack gaming PCs are works of art. But, like its predecessor, the Frame R8i takes this concept literally. The CSFG Frostbite Mini-ITX case is a wall-mounted chassis, elevating your gaming PC to a masterpiece. Just picture how epic your gaming set-up would look with the PC mounted below soft glowing RGB lighting panels. Peak aesthetics.
More than just a pretty face, this is an open-air case, too. The metal backplate and tempered glass panel are separated by struts, creating four open sides and natural airflow in spades. What’s more, a custom, aluminium radiator mount has been integrated within the design, setting the hardware at 90-degrees to the motherboard for stylish effect.
For the finishing touch, the front glass panel has been printed with a custom design for that classic 8Pack look.
High FPS, High Cooling
To maintain high gaming performance, the 8Pack Frame R8i comes with a bespoke water-cooling solution. 8Pack has teamed up with Nexalus to create a cutting-edge system that operates with great efficiency and provides plenty of overclocking headroom. From radiator to fittings, every component has been engineered to facilitate incredible performance in every gaming session.
To start with, this water-cooling loop is equipped with a compact pump, already well suited for the build because of its size. Great things really do come in small packages, because this pump operates with 25% more pressure than D5 pumps, for incredible coolant flow. The better the flow, the quicker the coolant can draw heat away from your vital components!
This is then paired with CPU and GPU water blocks that feature innovative jet impingement technology. This industry-leading design and improved flow is what makes the water-cooling loop operate so efficiently.
The finishing touch is the handcrafted hard tubing, that has been uniquely curved for an iconic style.
Custom Options
If you’re looking at this masterpiece gaming PC and not quite vibing, there are a selection of configurable options for you to explore.
- RAM: You can choose between 32GB or 64GB DDR5 RAM, depending on which better suits your needs.
- Tubing: The tubing comes in a matte finish as standard. You can change this to clear or even have them installed without the unique curve.
Any changes made will affect the price and lead time. For a complex machine like this, build time is 36 working days (more during busy periods). If you would like to make changes to the 8Pack Frame R8i, please call our Prestige System Advisor on 01782 940 193 prior to purchase.
