Corsair Made A Mistake...

14900k cooled by a 120mm radiator with slim fans on a b motherboard for 3.5k 🤔

[@cemsengul16]

This is just like Corsair's AIO systems which don't let you lower pump speed. I switched over from a Corsair AIO to a Lian Li Asetek AIO and couldn't be happier. I have full control of fan and pump speed and under gaming I am not hitting the same RPM as idle with a Corsair.

[@Absolutely_Allen]

that cpu cooler is a hilarious try at cooling a ridiculous cpu. just… why??

[@psychotictactoe]

Der8auer said the same thing, missed opportunity with this case.

[@TheIndulgers]

Slim fans are *almost* useless- especially if you’re using it to push through a radiator. The strangest thing about this over engineered and underperforming prebuilt pc is that Corsair already had a well cooled smaller pc.

[@Rivstar]

but did it have wood?

[@AfroDominus]

As soon as I saw that 120 aio I knew that it would go down the drain. You can build a mini itx with better cooling and a 4090 and a decent case for the price they charge. Still love your videos ! Well done

[@MrBogombo]

The real question is are the people who purchase this really going to be messing with fan speeds and running benchmark testing on it? As you said in the beginning this is for people who want a pc but lack the confidence or know how of building one. They just want a 14900 and a 4080 or 4090.

[@TechHunterOfficial]

A 120mm AiO with slim fans + a B760 motherboard for a 14900K whilst costing £3500. Corsair has lost the plot. Looks cool tho

[@georgec2932]

Good on you for giving an honest review. I'd never buy a pre-built but like you said, some people may not be confident enough to build their own and will be happy to pay a bit more for someone else to do it and to have the peace of mind of being able to get it repaired under warranty. It does look like a nice compact little system that looks good and makes good use of space. However, it feels like a few missed opportunities... from the video it looks like there's space to double the size of the rad on the CPU loop, they've cheaped out on the motherboard and removing pretty core functionality from the BIOS like fan control is pretty poor!

[@rileyhance318]

I think the og corsair one was cooler bc it actually did stuff you couldnt do with a off the shelf case. having a rad on each side with a air tight seal letting all of the airflow be handled by one fan at the top is genius.

[@zen7508]

I wish they sold the case separately

[@kotztotz3530]

The case looks beautiful. Definitely wish I could buy it by itself. I aint spend $4K...

[@sffbuilds5242]

Can you fit a 240mm AIO for the CPU?

[@S4RG3N7]

That CPU running that hot even in an idle part of the game scared me.

[@rz2142]

Kinda weird this is like going backwards in engineering vs the previous Corsair One models that ran cooler with 1x140 fan.

[@id104335409]

I mean it's not like they are a professional company that specialises in that stuff, how would they know?

[@icyraikkonen2516]

Not being able to change the fan speed is an absolute pisstake. It is still way too loud - every time I hear you do an audio test on a PC I cannot even hear the PC - This was ridiculously audible

[@Kapono5150]

Other channels say this PC runs hott and loud

[@TheFloRidah]

Main reason why I build my own. I think I would buy a prebuilt if the BIOS was not locked and the price was right. But I rather spend the extra money on quality components. PCs are not had to build.

[@marks9233]

Way to call it like it is. Bravo for common sense. 👍 Nice to see you without googly eyes and without a grin larger than the Cheshire cat's when something Corsair comes along. haha Good job. GN tore down a similar Dell Alienware prebuilt with a 120mm AIO on a 13900k in an all plastic case with minimal ventilation, so that it throttled to the point of 13600 level performance or something. Both yours and Steve's reactions are priceless. One would think these companies might know something about PC thermals and such... Appreciate your vids most when you are genuine, mate. Miss the livecasts with Carl where we get to see you be spontaneous. Those are great. Your authentic self is the most entertaining!

[@PcCentric]

Thanks, I'm sure we'll be back with a live again soon!

[@ForeverDownByLaw]

Once they work out the bugs re: cooling, and the price drops a bit, this will be a great machine. Very happy with my Corsair One a200, which has a 5900x/3080ti. Silent, small, very high quality and still fast. It has performed flawlessly for the last 2 years, and I picked it up at that time on sale for 2800.00, which was a very good value. Hopefully they iron out the bugs and price and I would be interested when I upgrade.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

I certainly can see the reason to have the fanspeed profiles hardcoded in a computer like this. Thing is I've worked with computer repair and computer support for a lot of years, and the times the problems were caused by users doing stupid shit with fan controls or other such things was way to common. The cost of that support can become quite high, and if you are selling gaming computers to end users it can only grow worse. I have a feeling they really would want to remove the CMOS setup utility if they felt that users would accept it. Now the 120mm radiator was a very strange solution. I can only guess that they experimented and discovered that a 240mm radiator would inhibit the airflow so the GPU radiator might run warm. But at the same time it looked like it would be simple to ad another fan to the lower side panel. That should improve the airflow enough to compensate for a 240mm radiator for the CPU. Or did I miss something in the design?

[@iza1021]

Seems like for the most part they got it right except for the AIO for the CPU

[@JustNotIt9927]

A 14900K being cooled by a 120mm aio? Seems that Corsair truly wants your PC to catch on fire.

[@tonac13]

For that price I can build 2 or even 3 pc's lol. Corsair overpricing at it's finest.

[@PcCentric]

But it has wood

[@tonac13]

[@peterbroad6793]

[@billyross6010]

Changing your values would render warranty void? Maybe that's why they made it so hard to tune and dial

it is essentially a very expensive console

[@shakobe682]

Question, what happens to all the pc’s you build?

[@mbrosenb86]

Totally agree with your take on the thermal set up. My GPU and CPU hang out at 70 to 80 because I keep my fans turned down and that’s much better

[@Ineedcoffee-n4j]

[@luvit579]

I'm still using my Corsair C70 case I've had for 10 - 15 years years. Wish they still produced them I'd get the Arctic White and put all blue lighting in it.

[@JustCarnivorousCupcake]

Wish you could get the case separate, would be a nice addition

[@mniakan754]

This really reminds me of what msi was doing with their trident line up but due to GPUs getting bigger and CPUs more powerful they couldn’t exactly do it anymore but I’m not still sure about performance

How has the cpu not blown up with the 120mm

[@erdalunal632]

😢 Where is the green tshirt?

[@Need4FPS]

They go with 120mm on 14900K, meanwhile i slapped push pull combo on 420mm for 13900KS. Did you try to run Cinebench on that 120 mm rad :D ? Reckon it would burn out in a matter of a milliseconds

[@PcCentric]

Yeah, hits 93ish, and scores about 36,600 vs 38,600 on an unrestricted board

[@PixelPlayground473]

Can you swap the Aio out for a 240 mm or is the 120 mm only designed for the case?

[@Lolong01]

that was hard to repair if gpu got problem its water cooler right

[@steffithompson]

To me, that case looks like a wardrobe

[@phantomfpss]

You can also fixit by putting an AMD cpu/mobo...

[@maxdave9590]

Additional cost, brings it up to 4100/4200£, depending on the Motherboard

[@phantomfpss]

​@@maxdave9590are you for real?, that Intel CPU is U$ 700 alone, with less money you can get a 7800x3d CPU wih a nice motherboard, have way better temps and lower power consumption...

[@johnt.848]

This would be nice if they sold the case by itself for DIY builders, also fan control software is free.

[@Khinh-xq6lx]

if corsair do more would have their own custom fan software

[@notmatt5864]

fro that kind of moment I want real fans and a full coverage waterblock

[@MatthewSemones]

if this ineed is a "GOOD" pre-built then I believe it will share that space with a VERY small group of peers.

[@Lier90]

Great video, thanks! I'm really interested in this prebuilt from Corsair. Is it realistic to expect that when the 5090 is released, it could fit in this prebuilt pc? Since the GPU is also watercooled, is it possible to know if this watercooling system will fit on a 5090 graphics card?

[@cubancoffee]

Well...this will be on fire sale

[@305gangsta777]

i actually have a question. you know how people are returning 14900k and 13900k in droves due to video memory errors bsod and more? how are people going to return this pc when it comes bundled in with that processor? do they void warranty if you remove intel baseline processor? so many questions i have more lol

As always with Corsair...overpriced. Great review tho and I completely agree with you.

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

Corsairs stuff often looks pretty good even when it really isn't worth the money. The funny thing is that my first contact with Corsair was a quite long time ago. Back then they sold memory and not much if anything else. And their memory was often made for servers, At the time they didn't have anything with a "gamer" look. Heck I remember the first time they added heat spreaders to the memory sticks. We still only used those for a few faster computers. Then is a few years just about all memory that stretched the JEDEC standards had heat spreaders. Yes, heat spreaders not heatsinks. The idea was to spread the heat so all memory chips were the same temperature. We were still buying server grade memory from them as they were really very good at building those and sold them for a very good price. This was before they started selling PSU, keyboard, mice or fans. They were a memory company selling memories and nothing else. They never made memory chips though but like most other memory "brands" they used the big manufacturers chips and only produced the PCB's and mounted the Samsung, Micron and whatever other manufacturers chips they want.

[@MaZEEZaM]

They make PWM speed reducers. Noctua includes them stock on some kits.

[@AxleLotl]

Hey Marcus! I can't get this case in Aus. But as for CPU temps, I wonder if you'd be able to change the rad fans to intake (bring in fresh cool air from outside), then set that second slim fan to exhaust to remove the hot air, I think you'd find the temps to be MUCH better. Particularly an i9 😅
