1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,680
we got the new Corsair 1 i500 and it's so expensive that it showed up in a

2
00:00:04,279 --> 00:00:10,519
Pelican case I I don't know what to say

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:16,000
this thing is it's got a lot of expensive

4
00:00:13,839 --> 00:00:19,199
components don't want to break it or drop it oh my

5
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:25,320
God as you can see they have made it larger than the past I kind of wish we

6
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,240
had the old one here for an example but it used to be more like this a lot more

7
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,759
Square uh they've extended it out the

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:38,079
back I don't know if that's just to fit the 4090 that's inside this thing or if

9
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:41,440
it's to fit their 240 mm uh AO that's

10
00:00:38,079 --> 00:00:43,760
attached to the 4090 on top of the 120

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:48,800
mil AIO that's attached to the 14900 K because yeah this

12
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,520
thing it's got a lot of strength it's

13
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:55,719
real strong they've got this like soft fabric mesh that I'm actually really

14
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:59,680
into we've been seeing uh more mesh side panels come into Vogue they've been on

15
00:00:57,559 --> 00:01:03,359
sff for quite a while but uh especially with the fractal North how that can come

16
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:07,119
with a mesh side panel I'm really I'm really digging it I'm really a big fan

17
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:10,240
tempered glass is out and look at how easily you just you just pop that off

18
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,960
it's you know it's no problem it also comes with a handy dandy little headphone hanger that you just kind of

19
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:20,119
pop in there put some headphones there real great it can fit Mex and it's you

20
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:25,280
know a lot bigger it's going to go much deeper in your desk and you're going to

21
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:28,600
keep it vertical it's going to fit but

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:30,520
honestly can it stay cool it has a lot

23
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:36,799
of ventilation like this this is all vents vents at the top with what two two

24
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:40,040
fans yep two fans blowing out the top kind of like the old design that went

25
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:46,159
top to or bottom to top and then we've got more vents out the back so and then

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,759
what's on the bottom more Vents and

27
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:54,079
rubber feet in terms of just form factor and looks with the fancy new wood panels

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,240
as well I kind of like it before I crack it open and take a look inside let's

29
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:02,520
talk about the I/O we've got a couple of USB ports on the front with a USBC and

30
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:10,000
head phone jack and then on the bottom there's nothing but then on the back 4

31
00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:12,680
usba all nicely labeled as 2.0 thank you

32
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:20,400
very much DisplayPort HDMI and then a USBC and then a 3.2 a couple more 3.2 2

33
00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:23,319
1/2 gig Lan and then what looks like a

34
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:27,519
wireless antenna dongle um audio on the bottom and spiff I'm not sure how to

35
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:32,800
open this we're going to start by taking off these cool fabric side panels and

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,519
then take a look at all of these screws I'm just going to start removing screws

37
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:44,640
that's uh that's usually your best bet once you got these four screws off you

38
00:02:39,959 --> 00:02:47,840
just pop it open look at this super easy

39
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:50,200
to get to all these internals oh what

40
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:53,120
side's this side the back actually pretty nice Cable Management though

41
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,840
there's not a ton of room to work in cases like this and uh with a 4090

42
00:02:55,239 --> 00:03:01,440
there's a lot of power going there and with all the fans they've got something like four or five fans in this thing

43
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:05,440
they've actually done a pretty good job with cable management nothing's like

44
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:09,360
sticking out uh you still got room for another 2 and A2 in SSD if you want to

45
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:13,599
put one in and they've got included SATA cables so it should be as easy as

46
00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:17,239
screwing it in and hooking it up so that's really nice uh but what we really

47
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:23,680
want to see is this side look at this we've got one

48
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:28,360
two three fans okay we're going to take out four more screws to get this top off

49
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,239
one kind of annoying thing and a good reason to have an LTT Store screwdriver

50
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:37,400
is unlike the initial four screws for the side panels these are not a standard

51
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:41,879
phillips bit it's really not the end of the world a lot of people have these but

52
00:03:39,599 --> 00:03:46,439
uh I would have loved to see the exact same screw head on every single screw uh

53
00:03:44,239 --> 00:03:53,319
once they're all off though you just pop that cover off we get access to our two

54
00:03:48,879 --> 00:03:55,720
fans so they've got the GPU Radiator on

55
00:03:53,319 --> 00:04:04,159
the 240 mil way up here with two exhaust fans and then we've got our CPU radiator

56
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:07,079
ah on 120 down here now 120 mm for a

57
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:11,680
14900 K it's not enough if you're going to try to sit there and run cinam bench

58
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:16,079
or prime 95 you're going to hit 100 C that's not really what I'd recommend the

59
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Corsair one for this is for a small form factor high-end gaming rig now when we

60
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:27,000
get to gaming and temps and all that you will see that 120 mm it's sufficient

61
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:31,199
you're not going to get you know 60 degrees C when you're gaming but it's

62
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:35,960
honestly not bad more on that later once you take out these other two little tiny

63
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:38,199
philli screws here and here you can open

64
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,840
this up isn't that cute I actually really really like this design um all of

65
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,320
a sudden you know you're going to get a lot more access to your CPU if you

66
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:51,039
actually want to take this off and take that out and swap it out um otherwise we

67
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:55,520
just got some dual Channel ddr5 memory here pretty sure it's 6,000 megat

68
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,600
transfer per second which is pretty decent it's nothing you know it could be

69
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,440
faster these days but it's definitely not bad if you want to get get at the GPU you're going to have to take this

70
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:09,400
fan and shroud off okay just pull it down and then you can see this crazy

71
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:15,680
water block just on the die I've never seen a water blocked 490 like this um

72
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,919
but our temps were okay so whatever they're doing it seems fine I didn't

73
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,759
look at vram temps but uh should be all right and as you can see yep it's got

74
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:27,160
these two hoses going all the way up to this 240 mil rat at the top let's close

75
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,840
this all back up power it on and take a look but not before word from our

76
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:35,280
sponsor thanks secret lab for sponsoring today's video are your gaming sessions

77
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,199
leaving you in pain do you have to stand up and stretch after every email secret

78
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:44,360
lab is there for you your back and your butt their ergonomic highquality chairs

79
00:05:42,319 --> 00:05:48,280
are designed to provide maximum Comfort all day long they even come in a variety

80
00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:52,680
of eye-catching upholsteries so there's a style for everyone check out secret

81
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:58,080
lab at the link below it has to be turned on for this feature to work but

82
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:01,319
you're plugging things in you can't see where the ports are what cable you're

83
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:05,360
holding holding you just kind of like put your hand down here a little bit and

84
00:06:02,919 --> 00:06:08,759
it pops a light up for you don't get me wrong we got a bunch of Studio lighting

85
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:13,080
it's easy to see but when this thing is like behind your desk your lights are

86
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:16,840
off you got to do a certain cable that's really handy and I kind of wish there

87
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:21,400
was a light on basically every case I own now by the io and then on the front

88
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,759
we've got these two diffused RGB strips I wish they were a little bigger or I

89
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:28,240
wish the metal didn't quite overhang as much as it does but in the dark it's

90
00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:33,199
actually quite visible the really cool thing is it's got all the different color presets on this bar so you don't

91
00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:37,120
like the color you just swipe your finger down change it to something else

92
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:40,560
and then you just stop it once you're on something you like and then on the

93
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,919
bottom if you press and hold I believe it is it'll cycle through different

94
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,680
modes pretty neat they do have software

95
00:06:44,919 --> 00:06:50,360
in here so you can control it all from uh your desktop but I mean you know I

96
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:55,160
don't know I kind of like this it's a really minor thing but I love it I love

97
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:59,360
tactile features let's see how it performs though with a 14900 k and a

98
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:04,080
4090 we've got cyberpunk running in the back background and it's just the main

99
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:07,599
menu but we're hitting like 80c 75c that's fine cuz it's you know we're

100
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:11,919
gaming we're just setting up OBS and checking our screen recording for uh 4K

101
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,560
cyberpunk and uh we took a look at the temperatures it has definitely increased

102
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:23,199
a little bit over time here we're hitting our Max of 98c or even 100 C on

103
00:07:19,919 --> 00:07:26,479
our core Max for our CPU like I said

104
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:27,919
before Corsair I know that for gaming

105
00:07:26,479 --> 00:07:33,360
it's fine the performance is actually going to be good it's just running hot

106
00:07:29,919 --> 00:07:36,199
not but please I don't like seeing it go

107
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:40,840
red just put try to fit another 240 in here you made the case so much bigger

108
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,120
stick a second 240 it would help so much

109
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:48,680
at least I think I like to think it would anyway in terms of gameplay

110
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,960
performance 4K Ultra rate tracing on we

111
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:54,800
were getting like 40 FPS you turn dlss on set it to Quality which still looks

112
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:58,479
good has some artifact issues here and there but you know if you're not too

113
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:06,319
sensitive to that it's fine but look very playable 80 FPS with like 70 on our

114
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:10,080
1% lows high 60s mid 60s totally fine

115
00:08:06,319 --> 00:08:11,759
and really R tracing is it worth it not

116
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:15,800
usually it looks really good but man the performance tanks so just turn that off

117
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:20,520
too and you're good to go the reality is we're getting about what you'd expect

118
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:25,280
from a 14900 k and a 4090 the really good news is though unlike our CPU our

119
00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:31,199
GPU on that 240 rad is actually doing pretty good our hot spot only 70° Max I

120
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:37,919
mean it's already down to like 40 cuz you can hear the fans they're cranked they're really trying to keep it cool

121
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:41,560
but uh it's a 4090 and it's staying well

122
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:43,839
within spec so you know put some

123
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:48,519
speakers on put some headphones on keep them on the headphone hook just ignore

124
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:53,920
the fans to test out thermals Labs tested F1 4k retracing on the CPU side

125
00:08:51,880 --> 00:09:00,240
we got a Max of 81 with an average of 59° but on our GPU it didn't even crack

126
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:02,000
70 reaching a Max of 69 nice nice and an

127
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,000
average of 67 it's pretty good considering it's a small form factor

128
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:09,880
those GPU temperatures are also pretty impressive we compared it to an

129
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,000
Alienware R15 with a 490 in it and it

130
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:17,600
got a little worse than that that thing crept up as high as 82 Max on the GPU

131
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:21,399
and then it only averaged at 80° C moving on to combuster that Gap Narrows

132
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:27,640
just a little bit on the alien wear we see a Max of 75 with an average of 72

133
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,920
while our Corsair 1 sticks at 70° C with

134
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,200
a average of 67 over overall pretty impressive last but not least in our

135
00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:37,440
cinam Bene test the two different systems we tested do have slightly

136
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:42,480
different CPUs we've got a 13900 KF in the Alienware but they're both going to

137
00:09:39,959 --> 00:09:47,839
Thermal throttle reaching upwards of 100° C on the coair max of 98 on the

138
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:54,480
Alienware however the Alienware does keep a much lower average of 79° C these

139
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:57,560
I9 are really hard to cool doesn't

140
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:00,519
matter what you put on them nhd15 420

141
00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:04,240
mil rad like it just it doesn't matter unless you go full custom Loop they're

142
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:10,000
going to run hot however that significantly lower temperature on the Alienware is largely because it's

143
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:14,000
thermal throttling itself and as soon as it gets up there it just comes right

144
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,440
back down to keep itself in Spec because it's able to maintain those clock speeds

145
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:22,480
and it does boost a little higher on the i 94900 k our 1080p results they're

146
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:28,800
pretty good they actually beat out the alien wear quite substantially in a couple of our tests however when we get

147
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:32,680
to 1440p and 4K uh the Gap kind of Narrows a little bit bit you can really

148
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:36,360
tell that they're using the same GPU and that 490s don't thermal throttle that

149
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:42,120
easily because of all the cooling attached to them even though this one's on a 240 mil rad and not the stock

150
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,920
cooler we're seeing results that are almost neck and neck pretty much the

151
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:50,360
exact same across the board as soon as you're upping your resolution and going

152
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:54,800
to a more GPU bound kind of scenario I do expect most of you to get

153
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:58,079
this as a gaming PC but in terms of productivity it's pretty good here's

154
00:10:56,639 --> 00:11:02,800
some Labs results so you can see for yourself overall

155
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:07,000
not a bad system at all as for price now we're talking about the Alienware R15

156
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:12,320
when we compare it to this new Corsair 1 and the R15 is the old model the 16 goes

157
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:17,120
for surprisingly about $4,000 the Corsair 1 with basically the

158
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,880
same specs although some very minor differences we'll get to is

159
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:25,440
$4,700 the Alienware is also on sale right now knocking the price down even

160
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,519
further if you go for the corser one there are advantages I mean one it's

161
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:32,680
small form factor you're going to pay the sfff tax on top of that it does have

162
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:36,200
slightly faster memory and while it's only about a $40 difference if you're

163
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:40,000
just buying the CPU separately this one does have integrated Graphics so if you

164
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,519
ever have to stop and troubleshoot you're all set almost $5,000 can seem

165
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:49,200
like quite a bit of money but don't forget that the graphics card in here alone is almost two grand and the fact

166
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:53,160
that you're getting a pretty slick case a lot of cooling there was quite a few

167
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:56,800
fans in here performance was good XMP came enabled out of the box if you're

168
00:11:54,720 --> 00:12:01,360
looking at high-end Boutique pre-builts then you're kind of splitting hairs when

169
00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:04,360
it comes to a few more100 anyway I think it looks really good and at the end of

170
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,360
the day it kind of just comes down to taste do you like the way this looks and

171
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:13,240
performs better than the competition I mean I do I don't know if I'd buy it but

172
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,320
it's pretty sweet thanks for watching ShortCircuit if you want to take a look at another pre-built that you could

173
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:24,079
consider buying from a pretty reputable brand check out the main gear

174
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:27,800
mg1 great computer we still use

175
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:27,800
it see you later
