So far this year, 8Pack has brought us the Frame R8 wall-mounted build. Now he has returned with a new and improved favourite. That’s right, it’s back. Levelled up with all the latest and greatest tech on the market, let us introduce the 8Pack Hypercube Mark 2. This beast is chock-full of high-end tech from AMD and Nvidia whilst housing an entirely custom-built water cooling system. Still not convinced? 8Pack himself has hand-selected every component, pre-binned the CPU, and overclocked this machine to the extreme. Oh, and it has RGB lighting. Cannot forget the lighting!
Only the Biggest and the Best from 8Pack
The Hypercube is back. Renowned for its premium gaming performance, the original Hypercube has undergone a complete transformation and thus been redesigned to incorporate the latest technological innovations that 2021 has to offer. This beast is the ultimate gaming and streaming PC available on the market right now. Featuring tech from AMD, Nvidia, and Asus, 8Pack has gone the extra mile for you and hand-picked every component to maximise cohesive performance. Therefore, each component has been thoroughly tested to guarantee peak performance.
The big man himself has overclocked the CPU using PBO2 software, as well as the GPU and RAM, for absolutely blinding speeds. Subsequently, big power needs big cooling. A need covered by the extensive, custom water-cooling system installed throughout the system which you can admire through the chassis’ tempered glass panel. Completing the beast, this gaming PC is chock-full of stunning RGB lighting to illuminate your battle station. Enjoy 8Pack’s trademark high-powered gaming delivered in style, with great efficiency.
Take a look at what’s inside this ultimate gaming machine. Marvel at the high-end glory which has been neatly arranged in a Lian Li O11D Mid-Tower Case.

Overclocked and Ready to Rock
To qualify for an 8Pack build, every component must meet Ian’s high standards for performance and gaming. As such, from the motherboard to cables, this entire build has been carefully curated and then pushed to the absolute extreme. All in the name of creating the best PC for gaming and streaming available. No other pre-build matches this specification, and for good reason.
Prepare yourselves, for every component that can be, has been overclocked by Ian “8Pack” Parry. That’s right. Our favourite champion overclocker has worked his magic touch on this machine and it can be yours. Get more frames per second, higher resolution and lower latency. Game at 4K and beyond, and enjoy sublime gaming performance every time.
Equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, the CPU has 12 cores and 24 threads. Already a high-end processor, this has then been overclocked using PBO2 software, an intelligent software for creating dynamic profiles for lowering CPU voltage and thermal headroom. As a result, the CPU can operate with a single core overclocked up to 5.15GHz or with all twelve overclocked up to 4.6GHz. There is even a cheeky third option to set your overclocking profile to optimise your gaming, at up to 5GHz. Making sure it is up to the task, every CPU is screened and thoroughly tested. Only 40% qualify and meet 8Pack’s demands.
The Magic Touch
Powered by the second generation of Ampere technology, the graphics are rendered by an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 card. With this beast, there will be no compromises when it comes to gaming. In addition to the CPU, this component, sporting the latest developments in Ray Tracing and Tensor Cores, has been overclocked to elevate what is already outstanding performance. Thanks to this powerhouse GPU, you’ll be able to explore virtual realities, stream smoothly, or even both at the same time.
What’s more, featuring 8Pack branded Team Group memory kits, the Hypercube M2 comes with 32GB of DDR6X RAM. Operating at 3,600MHz – 3,800MHz, this has also been overclocked and fine-tuned to perfect those speedy fetch rates. Only the best for 8Pack builds. Especially one as adored as the Hypercube.
Hyper-Cooled
Keeping the Hypercube Mark 2 frosty is an extensive, custom-built water cooling system. Truly it looks amazing, but above all its thermal capabilities are phenomenal. Utilising water blocks and hard tubing from EKWB, this comprehensive system allows the hardware to operate to the max whilst still keeping it perfectly balmy.
Installed with the front panel is a full-sized distro-plate which feeds the entire system. Another distro-plate designed exclusively for the Hypercube MK2 lies in front of the CPU cooler and sports the iconic 8Pack branding. In short, this gaming PC brings together form and function like no other machine out there – it’s out of this world.
Fuelling the system and drawing heat away from those maxed out components is EK’s CryoFuel – available in a wide range of vivid colours. After that, unwanted heat is siphoned out of the build by two 360mm radiators, one upon the back panel and one beside the full-length distro-plate. With such an effective cooling system, the fans within the radiators can operate at lower speeds, making less disruptive noise as you dominate your chosen battlefield.
All of the Lights
The Hypercube will dazzle you with more than its top of the range specification and exquisite water cooling. That is to say, it lights up, too. From top to bottom, this gaming PC is decked out with addressable RGB LED strips and a custom lightbox. Co-ordinate your light shows within Asus Aura, the compatible RGB software featuring 16.8 million colours and a whole host of effects to play with. Keep 8Pack’s cosmic colour scheme or illuminate the Hypercube with your own colours. Whichever you choose, this beast will shine bright and bold.
But Wait! There’s More
To support this overclocked gaming PC, the Hypercube comes with an 8-pack of its own. For storage, you can take full advantage of fast fetch rates and massive terabyte capacity thanks to the two – yes, two! – 2TB WD SSD drives. Interfacing with the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Formula motherboard via PCIe 4.0, it facilitates incredible write and read speeds. Plus, with that sheer volume of storage, you will never need to worry about running out of space for your game library. Simply enjoy the fastest solid-state drive available right now.
Adding the final touches to the Hypercube, all cables are by the 8Pack favourite brand: Pexon. Known for individually hand-braiding every single cable, they are available in a vibrant range of colours, which you can certainly pick and choose from. Match them to the default RGB, choose your favourite esport team colours, or make your mark with your own branding. The Hypercube MK2 is your dream machine and can be adapted for your specific needs.
This extends to customising components, too. Perhaps you fancy the higher core- and thread-count of the Ryzen 9 5950X or more RAM capacity? Any tweaks made to the spec will still receive the same treatment as the original blueprint, with 8Pack overclocking all he can to the limit. It should be noted that customising components will incur extra costs.
Get Yours – Now!
Nevertheless, if you are looking for the absolute greatest when it comes to gaming and streaming, then the Hypercube Mark 2 just as it is will be the machine for you. There’s a reason why the Hypercube was popular to begin. Therefore, it is no surprise it has been brought back.
What are you waiting for? Hit that Buy Now button and dominate your battlefield!
