WEBVTT

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

00:00:04.279 --> 00:00:10.519
Pelican case I I don't know what to say

00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:16.000
this thing is it's got a lot of expensive

00:00:13.839 --> 00:00:19.199
components don't want to break it or drop it oh my

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

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

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.759
Square uh they've extended it out the

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

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:41.440
it's to fit their 240 mm uh AO that's

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:43.760
attached to the 4090 on top of the 120

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:48.800
mil AIO that's attached to the 14900 K because yeah this

00:00:45.800 --> 00:00:51.520
thing it's got a lot of strength it's

00:00:48.800 --> 00:00:55.719
real strong they've got this like soft fabric mesh that I'm actually really

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

00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:03.359
sff for quite a while but uh especially with the fractal North how that can come

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

00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:10.240
tempered glass is out and look at how easily you just you just pop that off

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

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

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

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.600
keep it vertical it's going to fit but

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.520
honestly can it stay cool it has a lot

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:36.799
of ventilation like this this is all vents vents at the top with what two two

00:01:34.119 --> 00:01:40.040
fans yep two fans blowing out the top kind of like the old design that went

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

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:48.759
what's on the bottom more Vents and

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:54.079
rubber feet in terms of just form factor and looks with the fancy new wood panels

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

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

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

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:12.680
usba all nicely labeled as 2.0 thank you

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

00:02:17.239 --> 00:02:23.319
1/2 gig Lan and then what looks like a

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:27.519
wireless antenna dongle um audio on the bottom and spiff I'm not sure how to

00:02:26.040 --> 00:02:32.800
open this we're going to start by taking off these cool fabric side panels and

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

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

00:02:39.959 --> 00:02:47.840
just pop it open look at this super easy

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.200
to get to all these internals oh what

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:53.120
side's this side the back actually pretty nice Cable Management though

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

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

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:05.440
they've actually done a pretty good job with cable management nothing's like

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

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

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

00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:23.680
want to see is this side look at this we've got one

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

00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:32.239
one kind of annoying thing and a good reason to have an LTT Store screwdriver

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:37.400
is unlike the initial four screws for the side panels these are not a standard

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

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

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

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:55.720
fans so they've got the GPU Radiator on

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

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:07.079
ah on 120 down here now 120 mm for a

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

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

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

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

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

00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:35.960
honestly not bad more on that later once you take out these other two little tiny

00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:38.199
philli screws here and here you can open

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:41.840
this up isn't that cute I actually really really like this design um all of

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

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

00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:55.520
just got some dual Channel ddr5 memory here pretty sure it's 6,000 megat

00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:58.600
transfer per second which is pretty decent it's nothing you know it could be

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

00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:09.400
fan and shroud off okay just pull it down and then you can see this crazy

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

00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.919
but our temps were okay so whatever they're doing it seems fine I didn't

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

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

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

00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:35.280
sponsor thanks secret lab for sponsoring today's video are your gaming sessions

00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:40.199
leaving you in pain do you have to stand up and stretch after every email secret

00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:44.360
lab is there for you your back and your butt their ergonomic highquality chairs

00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:48.280
are designed to provide maximum Comfort all day long they even come in a variety

00:05:46.479 --> 00:05:52.680
of eye-catching upholsteries so there's a style for everyone check out secret

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

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

00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:05.360
holding holding you just kind of like put your hand down here a little bit and

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:06:31.840 --> 00:06:37.120
like the color you just swipe your finger down change it to something else

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

00:06:38.440 --> 00:06:44.919
bottom if you press and hold I believe it is it'll cycle through different

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.680
modes pretty neat they do have software

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

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

00:06:52.400 --> 00:06:59.360
tactile features let's see how it performs though with a 14900 k and a

00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:04.080
4090 we've got cyberpunk running in the back background and it's just the main

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

00:07:05.440 --> 00:07:11.919
gaming we're just setting up OBS and checking our screen recording for uh 4K

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:16.560
cyberpunk and uh we took a look at the temperatures it has definitely increased

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

00:07:19.919 --> 00:07:26.479
our core Max for our CPU like I said

00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.919
before Corsair I know that for gaming

00:07:26.479 --> 00:07:33.360
it's fine the performance is actually going to be good it's just running hot

00:07:29.919 --> 00:07:36.199
not but please I don't like seeing it go

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

00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.120
stick a second 240 it would help so much

00:07:40.840 --> 00:07:48.680
at least I think I like to think it would anyway in terms of gameplay

00:07:45.560 --> 00:07:50.960
performance 4K Ultra rate tracing on we

00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:54.800
were getting like 40 FPS you turn dlss on set it to Quality which still looks

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:58.479
good has some artifact issues here and there but you know if you're not too

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

00:08:01.840 --> 00:08:10.080
1% lows high 60s mid 60s totally fine

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:11.759
and really R tracing is it worth it not

00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:15.800
usually it looks really good but man the performance tanks so just turn that off

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

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

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

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

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:41.560
but uh it's a 4090 and it's staying well

00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.839
within spec so you know put some

00:08:41.560 --> 00:08:48.519
speakers on put some headphones on keep them on the headphone hook just ignore

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:53.920
the fans to test out thermals Labs tested F1 4k retracing on the CPU side

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

00:08:56.920 --> 00:09:02.000
70 reaching a Max of 69 nice nice and an

00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.000
average of 67 it's pretty good considering it's a small form factor

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.880
those GPU temperatures are also pretty impressive we compared it to an

00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:12.000
Alienware R15 with a 490 in it and it

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

00:09:14.959 --> 00:09:21.399
and then it only averaged at 80° C moving on to combuster that Gap Narrows

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

00:09:23.920 --> 00:09:29.920
while our Corsair 1 sticks at 70° C with

00:09:27.640 --> 00:09:33.200
a average of 67 over overall pretty impressive last but not least in our

00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:37.440
cinam Bene test the two different systems we tested do have slightly

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

00:09:39.959 --> 00:09:47.839
Thermal throttle reaching upwards of 100° C on the coair max of 98 on the

00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:54.480
Alienware however the Alienware does keep a much lower average of 79° C these

00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:57.560
I9 are really hard to cool doesn't

00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:00.519
matter what you put on them nhd15 420

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

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

00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:14.000
thermal throttling itself and as soon as it gets up there it just comes right

00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:17.440
back down to keep itself in Spec because it's able to maintain those clock speeds

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

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

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

00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:36.360
tell that they're using the same GPU and that 490s don't thermal throttle that

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

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:45.920
cooler we're seeing results that are almost neck and neck pretty much the

00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:50.360
exact same across the board as soon as you're upping your resolution and going

00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:54.800
to a more GPU bound kind of scenario I do expect most of you to get

00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:58.079
this as a gaming PC but in terms of productivity it's pretty good here's

00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:02.800
some Labs results so you can see for yourself overall

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

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

00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:17.120
for surprisingly about $4,000 the Corsair 1 with basically the

00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:21.880
same specs although some very minor differences we'll get to is

00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:25.440
$4,700 the Alienware is also on sale right now knocking the price down even

00:11:23.600 --> 00:11:28.519
further if you go for the corser one there are advantages I mean one it's

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

00:11:30.800 --> 00:11:36.200
slightly faster memory and while it's only about a $40 difference if you're

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:40.000
just buying the CPU separately this one does have integrated Graphics so if you

00:11:37.920 --> 00:11:43.519
ever have to stop and troubleshoot you're all set almost $5,000 can seem

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

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

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:56.800
fans in here performance was good XMP came enabled out of the box if you're

00:11:54.720 --> 00:12:01.360
