I expected better
I bought a high‑end Stormforce system in late 2024, a very expensive build featuring a 9800X3D, RTX 4080 Super, and 64GB of 6000MHz RAM. On paper, it looked like a premium machine, especially since most of the components were MSI‑branded. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t live up to the price.
The first issue appeared immediately: Stormforce installed four sticks of Corsair RAM that weren’t compatible with the motherboard, meaning the system could only run at 4800MHz unless I removed half the memory. That effectively turned my “64GB 6000MHz” system into 32GB if I wanted the speed I paid for.
It took weeks (until late February 2025) for Stormforce to send replacement RAM that actually worked. To make matters worse, EXPO/XMP wasn’t even enabled in the BIOS, which suggests they knew the RAM wasn’t compatible in the first place.
Fast‑forward just over a year, and the PSU failed while the PC was idle. When I opened the system, I discovered Stormforce had installed a white‑label OEM 1000W PSU (Vortex CSZ1000V5), not exactly what you expect in a premium build with expensive components. It only carried a 2‑year warranty, which says a lot.
I’ve now replaced the PSU myself with an MSI unit that includes a 10‑year warranty, which is what I would have expected from Stormforce from the start. I understand companies need to manage costs, but cutting corners on the power supply (the one component that protects everything else) and overlooking cable safety feels unacceptable for a system at this price.
While replacing the PSU, I also noticed several cable‑management issues: some wires had been damaged because cable ties were tightened far too much, and a cable (likely from the AIO) had been caught behind the IO shield and was visibly pinched and exposed at the back of the case. These are basic build‑quality problems that shouldn’t be present in a system at this price point.
Overall, the machine works now, but between the RAM issues, the BIOS oversight, the long wait for replacements, the PSU failure, and the poor cable management, I can’t say the experience matched the premium price tag. Stormforce should do better.

Hi Elie
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, especially with what should have been a premium system experience.
The concerns you have raised regarding the RAM compatibility and BIOS settings have been logged internally and will be investigated further with our production and testing teams. We appreciate you bringing these points to our attention.
We can confirm that the RAM issue was originally logged with us on 23/12/24, which was our last working day before the Christmas closure. Due to stock availability at the time, replacement memory had to be specially ordered from our vendor as a priority. Once stock arrived, the replacement RAM was shipped at the next available shipping opportunity, which was at the end of January 2025.
We can also see that you have already logged an RMA regarding the PSU, and arrangements have been made for this to take place next week. While individual component manufacturer warranties may differ, we would like to clarify that the system as a whole is covered by our 3-year collect, repair and return warranty for complete peace of mind.
In addition, all Stormforce PCs include lifetime technical support. Even after the 3-year warranty period has expired, if a hardware fault or issue occurs, we will still be available to offer advice and assistance regarding the system.
The cable management concerns you mentioned have also been logged with our Assistant Production Manager, who oversees all systems before dispatch, so this can be reviewed internally as part of our quality control processes.
We appreciate your detailed feedback, as it helps us improve both our build quality and customer experience moving forward, but if you do have nay other concerns or questions, please reach out and ask for myself

Good product, need to update info
Good products and Quidco cashback made purchase attractive. A little disapointed with lack of set up instructions. My PC came with graphics card not installed, but there were no how-to guides to show how to install it. The QR code and set up info didnt seem to reference the scenario of them shipping the card seperately. I presume this was to avoid damage, but when i ordered it, all the info said the pc instead would come with custom internal packaging to protect instead... they should update their info if they are saving money by just removing the card and shipping it empty as it took me hours to figure out how to set it up, as I was nervous about doing the wrong thing with a brand new £4500 PC! Note I read all the help pages on their website at the time and there was nothing saying how to install a graphics card on my model of PC. It just repeated what was on the QR code link.

Hi
Thank you for your feedback and for choosing us for your new PC build. We’re really pleased to hear you were happy with the products and value overall.
We’re very sorry to hear about the frustration caused during setup, especially with the graphics card installation. In some cases, GPUs are shipped separately to help prevent damage during transit, and we do provide information about this on our FAQs page here: Stormforce FAQs
That said, we completely understand your comments regarding the lack of clear setup guidance included in the box, particularly for a high-value system, and we apologise for the stress and time this caused. Your feedback regarding the packaging and installation instructions is genuinely appreciated, and we’ll be passing this on to our team so we can improve the experience for future customers.
We hope you’re now fully up and running and enjoying your new PC, and if you need any further support, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thanks

Good quality build
The PC was neatly put together, the cables were routed tidily, when I added my GPU, RAM, NVME M2 drive and SATA drives, it all worked perfectly.

Advertised the laptop as a gaming computer with great battery life mine lasts way less than an hour. Got in touch with them and basically told I need to plug it in playing games.

Hi
We are sorry to hear this, but we do appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.
After looking into your enquiry, I have located your email on our system and can see that you support team did advise you to keep the laptop plugged in whilst gaming, as the battery will drain a lot faster while using it for gaming due to the power demand of the components in particular the GPU.
We will look into your enquiry further and will get the listing updated so this is advertised more accurately

Amazing experience
Amazing experience - extremely swift and prompt support offered by Eva and Tarron.
My son accidentally deleted the wifi drivers and was so upset, options where given to post USBs out to me or clear instructions to download the drivers again to rectify the problem.
I have one happy gamer again, and cannot fault the level of support and understanding given by the staff at Stormforce.
Thanks so much!

We’re so glad Eva and Tarron were able to jump in quickly and give you clear options to get things sorted. Situations like that can be really stressful (especially with an upset gamer in the house!), so it’s great to hear everything was resolved smoothly.
I’ll make sure both of them see your feedback :)
And most importantly, we’re glad your son is back up and gaming again! Thanks again for your support

Hi, I was left without a present for my son's birthday
Hi, if it was possible I would give it 0 stars, but it won't let me. let's start by saying that today is the son's birthday and unfortunately he doesn't have the desired gift. on April 14, a rather large sum was sent, for my income is high, 969.99 pounds to this company with the intention of making a computer. during this period the eldest son called the company to find out what was happening because the computer was not ready. I repeat and say that not once did they mention the fact that they don't have the necessary parts and that we have to wait longer, or that they sent us an email saying that they don't have the necessary parts and if we agree to wait longer. with bad intentions or not, we were left without a present and today, after the boy comes home from school, I will have to explain why he doesn't have the desired present.
I feel very worried and confused knowing what will happen next.
so please don't make purchases from this company again, lest you have the same surprise.
I wish you all a pleasant day.

First time gaming PC
First time buying myself a gaming PC and I'm very impressed with the range of rigs on offer, especially as someone with a budget on the lower end (<£1K). Ordering was smooth and straight-forward.
Only criticism is that upon ordering I was told I'd get automatic emails every step of the order progressing, which I didn't have. When emailing customer service for these updates though, communication was good and fast so can't complain too much.
Very pleased with what I've received and how easy it was to set up - took me about an hour max. between opening the box and actually gaming. Thank you!

Stormforce is an unreliable, scammy company
My other review was taken down so I'll dumb things down here:
• terribly overpriced devices
• creating complete slop, calling them gaming PCs by simply throwing RGB over them
• scamming people new to PC building by giving them the absolute worst parts imaginable, where even an ancient phone could run things better than these "Gaming PCs"
• decorating these useless pieces of metal into looking powerful but being completely useless
• the PC I've gotten from you, and have had to hold up with for years costed SO much, but uneducated me didn't know that your PC is worse than any school computer, your PC didn't even have a GPU, I'm so thankful I'm going to other companies and getting proper components to build my next PC so I can forget this sorry excuse of a company
• your PCs are genuinely not even worth £100, let alone £600 and £700, atleast get them to run google and not have to wait 2 minutes for a single tab to open
