0:08
so we're here in the Corsair suite where they are going
0:12
more tempered glass and more RGB than ever before what a freaking surprise so
0:17
behind me i've actually got
0:21
a case that includes no RGB lighting whatsoever this is the obsidian 500d and
0:27
i'm just going to put it in front of that one for reasons that i will reveal
0:30
quite shortly this is Corsair's first case with integrated native usb type c
0:36
in the front including that 20 pin connector on the inside that is
0:40
supported on newer motherboards it's got a tempered glass side panel it's got
0:44
support for two hard drives and three ssds on the back of the motherboard tray
0:48
and water cooling support is actually pretty wide open as well it can tape up
0:53
to a triple 120 millimeter in the front
0:56
and a dual 140 millimeter in the top and
0:59
part of that is thanks to its extremely efficient
1:04
that's fine extremely efficient use of its internal space so it's got a lot of
1:08
room up here for a big radiator in fans
1:11
and then it's almost no clearance between the motherboard and the power
1:15
supply basement down here now this guy's going to be 149 or something along those
1:20
lines and should be available pretty soon but honestly this isn't the one
1:24
that i'm that excited about oh yeah there's a removable uh fan filter
1:30
not sure how it comes out but there you go removable fan filter so i'm
1:34
just gonna put that aside be right back
1:41
this is the sexy one so this would cost quite
1:45
a bit more if it were to make it to market it's got curved tempered glass on
1:51
the front just like the concept slate
1:54
that we showed off last year slash did a video of quite recently it's showing off
1:58
the vertical GPU mounting that is also available in its little brother and it
2:04
is also planned to include Corsair's light loop RGB fans so the plan if it
2:10
were to become a real product would also be to include a Corsair commander pro so
2:14
you can RGB affected up and estimated maybe hypothetical pricing
2:19
somewhere in the 250 dollar range
2:22
and for how good this thing looks it could be the case to beat
2:27
if you're into mid towers with tempered glass and RGB but let's say you're not
2:31
into RGB and you want to spend a lot of money Corsair has a new power supply for
2:35
you it has been four years since the
2:38
ax-1500i and it finally has a big
2:41
brother although it should be noted it's actually two centimeters shorter this is
2:45
the ax-1600i it uses gallium nitride mosfets in order
2:51
to achieve its astonishing 94 efficiency
2:55
at 100 load that is 4 higher than the 80 plus
3:00
titanium spec so the reason Corsair hasn't done a successor to the 1500i is
3:05
that anything higher than that would trip a 120 volt north american breaker
3:10
anyway well they got this thing so efficient that it's only pulling
3:14
1730 watts from the wall at a 100 load
3:17
meaning that it won't trip your breaker it also comes with Corsair link support
3:22
and my favorite this was actually something that i suggested to Corsair at
3:27
one point why do you guys just have these stickers that you can't
3:31
remove i was like can i get a new sticker why don't you just do a magnet oh look
3:35
at that oh it's got magnetic magnetic logos you can put it on whatever way you
3:39
want it comes with blue and red and white and then the stock is just the uh
3:43
the traditional Corsair matches everything gray this guy's going to be
3:48
priced at
3:52
499.99 holy sh
3:55
