Welcome back Nada and the Techtesters team 🥰💪👍😇. Hope you had a nice break.

[@CraftBeerTastic]

Corsair executives had better feel blessed with such a delightful review from Nada! Well done!

[@Bezzerkus]

Love your work! So professional and elegant. I feel like a sophisticated gamer watching your reviews. Love the earrings too

[@TechTesters]

Thank you so much 😀

[@t3amb4sh]

Somthing that I noticed In der8auer's video, there are warranty stickers, right there before you remove the panel, which is super odd. Also , you could have disassembled the GPU in order to see that VRMs are not water cooled but cooled by the fans, which is super negative for the longevity of that GPU. Finally, yes, 25mm thickness fans, do fit there and offer some additional cooling. All in all, nice review. May I add that I would buy the case alone ONLY for my Living room? (HTPC) It's beautiful for such display, but I would never consider it for my main rig!

[@TigonIII]

The case is beautiful, but I'm guessing people will have to wait at least a few years until the components gets outdated before we will see these systems turn up cheap on the used market.

[@Mitch_The_Cadet]

yes, I found this review of thechtesters a bit superficial. "A bit loud under load"? This thing roars like a lion as soon as you hit the power button. Thankfully there other channels to enlighten us on such things

[@JackieLombardi]

Missed you so much tech mommy 💕

[@abocks]

Me: Can I have a Fractal North case? Mom: We have a case at home The case at home:

[@robertcochran7103]

Thank you for posting this excellent review. I'm so glad you are posting product evaluations again. I try to watch all of your reviews; you are such an fountain of knowledge in my eyes.

[@nioda1375]

Nice to see you back love your reviews

[@phucnguyen0110]

Welcome back, Nada! And yes, it's so expensive lol 😂😂

[@pasa5526]

Very good and honest review , thx

[@Arhey]

The price is insanely high for what you get. I built system with 13900k and 4090 1,5 years ago, when prices were much higher with complete custom water cooling and it came out cheaper and it is soo much quiter.

[@Rkcuddles]

10:14 I love when your nails match the lights! This case is beautiful, I would looove one and would pay extra for the convenience but that’s kind of a lot…

[@cjr96]

Honestly a great review, thank you

[@DenkoYugo]

Great to have you back! I knew those charges wouldn't stick!

[@wadalzain5]

wait, what?

[@honinakecheta601]

Very sleek and beautiful I like how it looks fs kinda was worried about lack of airflow tho lol

[@alexandervandersman5150]

Nice review!

[@martinxyz]

Nice to see you back :D

[@Jelpronir]

Thats a slick looking heater

[@justmejustme3042]

Welcome Back!!!

[@snakevarietytv]

Wow ..that is a powerful system 👍🏿

[@aelaan12]

Did you see DerBauer review with the fans being connected wrong in the case? Pretty much.... what a mistake to make. It is a very spiffy looking case that will look great in a lawyer's office.... hence rich people

[@kamipls6790]

Those finger nails outshine this pc case. Just wanted to leave a compliment 🙂

[@austinrichards1302]

Good to have you back, Nada! The wooden front looks total cozy for home!

[@Skobeloff...]

Not surprising that this is not reviewing well.

[@NovicePCBuilder]

Welcome back!!

[@rodhester2166]

Thank you for the video.. cheers.

[@walrider]

The price is way too high compared to the convenience it provides and the board not even being Z690 or Z790 is really weird for such high end parts

[@ProjectSmithTech]

Yeah, the CPU cooler is not going to cut it. Nice case, I really like the concept.

[@jon4]

The solid build quality and ease of maintenance are impressive for such a compact system, but I'm surprised Corsair didn't implement quieter cooling solutions given the emphasis on the premium design. Has Corsair mentioned any plans for updating these aspects in future models?

[@Dlo_BestLife]

Welcome back and happy... 39th? :) Did you get the new Kia!?

[@wildgg]

The price is well.. it is what it is i guess.. I disagree that cooling 200W for this size of a case is great, there are smaller cases out there that give better cooling options for these power hungry CPUs. I think corsair really missed the mark here by not putting atleast a 240mm AIO in here.

[@TigonIII]

I'm wondering if a 240mm AIO for CPU would fit, as the 120mm is installed at a 90 degree angle of what a 240mm would be. But then I'm thinking, would it be possible to serial connect 2 120mm radiators, 1 on each fan, but that would then most likely require custom parts, as I don't think you'd be able to mess with an AIO, or at least it would be a real hassle.

[@KennyK_equals_schlaf]

Looks cool but i like the North Xl more. 👍🏻

[@GMan-ku9wg]

I still think it's a shame Corsair don't sell the cases on their own but then I guess they would cost a fair bit, a really nice PC though just a shame about the noise levels.

[@Prince_Pig]

Love this channel.

[@danwilson9494]

Are those Assassin's Creed earrings? 😮

[@GerbenVanErkelens]

Oj this I do like in terms of its aesthetics

[@michaelthompson9798]

A beautiful looking compact case one again by Corsair🥰👍BUT the cpu cooler should’ve had at least a 240mm AIO (imo) and come in about $1k/€1k cheaper to even be considered!

[@gauchemode7488]

Cool little pc

[@ZeddDanish]

the corsair one i500 case design is gorgeous tho if we look past the cons otherwise great video

[@TechTesters]

Agreed, thank you!

[@user-uy2mh6pq5b]

welcome back

[@DA-oo6nz]

isnt the vertex only fanless until 30% load and not 40%, because they said one or two years before on their homepage that is fanless up to 30%. now i looked again and there stands nothing about the fanless load percentage. all other seasonic powersupplyes have this specification number except the vertex.

[@HorstJt]

She is back with swag from Las Vegas

[@moichamoy2274]

"premium" includes a 120mm aio for the mini oven

[@Stephen-OldBadGamer]

Very cool and dignified looking case. Excellent design.

[@myke1380]

lots of custom cooling potential if only corsair makes a pump-block-reservoir combo i can see 120mm and 240mm rads. Great video!

[@dannyput2532]

That is a classy pc

[@ssddsquare]

Can we buy the casing separately?

[@TechTesters]

Unfortunately not.

[@aaronhope_]

Do you guys have the old one still?? 😅😅

[@TechTesters]

No, I only borrowed it for a little while :)

[@Mickroz]

Wb! 🎉

[@Finlandiamall]

Your pronunciation is so cool.

[@michaelchiang3769]

Missing the GPU water cooler cost in your analysis...

[@willsutton54]

Whats your view on the "heat" and "denigration" of Intel CPU's caused by motherboard manufacturers pushing beyond the Intel specs to get better scores? I see the "Provoked Prawn" has a video on the MSI boards about setting them back to a "Intel spec" and fixing a lot of problems. This has been discussed by Jay 2 Cents, Hardware Unboxed and Gamer Nexus amongst many and Motherboards Manufacturers have been releasing new BIOS to comply but sadly it seems the default is not the "Intel" specs. With this Corsair One i500 using a MSI motherboard am curious as to what BIOS settings it is using? If set to Intel specs maybe the heat would reduce and the fan noise would not be a problem? Anyway after watching the males go on about this its really could to see an attractive female ( there should be more females ) back especially one with such a flawless accent. btw: the question is are reviewers the one that cause the problem by focusing on benchmarks ? Lets share the load between Intel, Motherboard Manufacturers and reviewers who are so focused on benchmarks

[@lochpatje]

Nice!

[@AshtonCoolman]

Are you using Intel's new default 125w/188w PL1/PL2 settings?

[@TigonIII]

I believe the bios is "optimised" by Corsair, or that's at least what I believe I heard Der8auer say in his video. And it was 200w/250w PL1/PL2, as she said in the video.

[@ilkerYT]

3:12 120mm AIO, Ok Im done Im out I dont want it.

[@deviantbuilds]

Bare pcb on gpu, 120mm aio on 14900k, b760m mobo, loud SFXL psu, single 2tb ssd. Yeah, that's definitely not what i think of when someone says premium pc. Corsair should just sell the case by itself. That's the only good thing about it.

[@Carlife0830]

Are those Assassin's Creed earrings??

[@zeo_here]

I like the look of this prebuilt but that price💀

[@Viper6332]

Welcome back, looks like a really decent build.

[@NelskyCrowfield]

Are those Assassin's Creed earrings?

[@TechTesters]

Yes :D

[@NelskyCrowfield]

@@TechTesters 👍

[@m4nc1n1]

Very pretty. Case is nice too! Lol, jk. Hope they sell the case

[@RX-79Ez-8]

Case looks like a liquor cabinet.

[@legrosroger]

Dont like the line and logo on the front panel. Would have been so much better without!

[@tarang221]

i9 with that motherboard ? We dont even need to discuss cooling right

[@LeonisYT]

Hi back, I'm Leonis :3

[@nossy232323]

14900K = not so premium anymore after the new intel power levels.

[@user-ds8rj2vc4v]

Not to mention that it's no longer that small of a form factor. Corsair One used to be pretty small and compact. This is just a fairly standard ITX chassis size

[@mightymartin6290]

Yeah, they should drop prices.

[@mapuiatluanga3202]

👍👍❤❤❤

[@kalitvenec]

😊

[@user-qn1zj5bs5p]

if your 4090 die , replace it with 1650 that has similar length LOL

[@Anti0ntem]

I wish that the T-1000 ceased pursuing John Connor and went after the guy who thought of putting wooden panels on PCs.

[@bury101]

Typical Corsair overpricing everything, but I do love their RGB fans! lol

[@mgaming7]

too expensive for what it is. I will build my own when the new CPU/GPU's for late 2024 / early 2025 come out. I guess it's good for those that don't like building their own.

[@MrPyroblastic]

Not even to be taken into consideration 😂

[@JohnDoe-o5v]

50 decibels, it's loud...

[@TechTesters]

Yup. For now anyway

[@tft_and_chill]

that price lol... nope

[@matthewpullen2996]

To loud runs hot

[@JonSnow-gt7gf]

Now i know why players wrote to me... : ,, u have wooden pc''

[@TheTastefulThickness]

The power supply finger touch is so funny

[@d4nith3]

5500€ msrp😂 when this will hit the shelves will be easily over 6000€

[@patrickcadette]

😁😁😁👍👍👍.......

[@W1DST3R]

The wood looks like a cheap ripoff of Fractal

[@ratedRblazin420]

Chest is 10/10, going to be my new go to for tech reviews

[@JBrown-go8ru]

Leave it to Corsair to add all the unnecessary gimmicks!

[@omega77uk]

She is Polish??

[@TechTesters]

No :)

[@user-sm5tq7oc4p]

I love this gorgeous woman 😘! Hot greetings from Ukraine to Nadalina ;)

[@sureshwarankrishnasamy4300]

welcome back , Tech mama! :D

[@Logical]

What a joke product. It looks terrible, they just missed the design mark totally. And a 14900k for that +125w powerusage. But oh now, lets nerf it because it will overheat... What a joke.

[@spendous]

This must be for metro men that don't know how to build PCs... is Corsair trying to be Apple?

[@Rayu25Demon]

finally, the trend of gay microwares\aquarium is dying. it looks amazing, i want to see them selling this case alone

[@DDRWakaLaka]

bleh, what a shame it uses MSI parts

[@hamidious]

Ehat's wrong with MSI, I have been happy with them. Is it a consensus that they are bad because this is the first time I hear it.

[@jon4]

Why are you wearing that top?

[@MrBoboka12]

way to overpriced for a crappy power limited cpu. save your money or build your own pc

[@GrainGrown]

*too

[@sweeleangloh]

Please help to review the upcoming keyboard/mouse and the pen! They look so stylish!😎🥸

[@Playradise]

Nada, you gonna react to Kendrick vs Drake rap beef?
