Great Gaming PC - but there is one Con

We purchased this PC for our daughter when we heard her 8yr old PC was beginning to have issues. I normally build our computers, but parts were hard to find and I decided we would buy one. I saw the Corsair PC's on the Best Buy site and knew the parts would be top notch since I have been using them in all of our current computers (three new and 2 refurbished in the last 6 months).
This PC came with 32 gig of Dominator Platinum memory, and a MSI RTX 3070TI video card (that we have in two of our new builds) It also came with a custom 4000 airflow case with all RGB fans installed and preinstalled iCUE software and other useful analysis apps. Setup was easy.
For reliability, I have been running this PC daily for hours, installed Witcher III GOTY and it has not missed a beat throughout the time we have been using it. Witcher plays with amazing color and speed at Ultra Settings at max 1440 resolution. The Bluetooth XBox controller connected perfectly.
The only con is the iCUE software and update to the Beta version with murals. This update is confusing and not needed for this PC since it was shipped with simple RGB lighting where the original iCUE version was perfect. Not everyone is interested in the murals and especially a new user that does not need the headache of figuring out Beta software that removes simplicity from switching scenes. We were fortunate to find a way to roll it back to an earlier version and we are giving instructions not to update.
Even though we were disappointed in the software update (ease of use lost a star), I am leaving this review at 5 stars for the great build quality and function of the product.

Great PC. I love the premium build quality and overall ease of use. This was my first gaming PC and made the jump from console super easy.
I am currently running this on a C1 48” OLED and consistently getting 120fps at 4K on Warzone 3/MW3.
I will be switch to an QD OLED monitor once they are more easily available. Zero regrets on this PC and would highly recommend this or another Corsair prebuilt to anyone that is looking.

I switched from Mac. This computer makes me feel really great about the switch…. The ability to take the front grill off- excellent feature. You can literally remove the screen and vacuum it clean. It does everything I need it to - and does it fast. It may be over kill for my go to games (Squad / Arma ) but it’s good to know the juice is there if in need it. It runs well so far- hopefully it stays that way.

Don’t let these negative reviews fool you. Ive owned this PC for over a week now and have had nothing but a great experience. It came packaged very well, is lightning fast, and looks great. Runs 1440p like butter! Fans are extremely quiet, tons of options in ICue with all the RBG, and great upgradability in the future! Corsair, another great quality product!

I have purchase this a week before. So I am happy with the overall performance. Just about the built part from corsair.. which is not great.
I saw a bit gal on the top of front panel and found that one of the clips was broken. Now i am confused if I should return this with all the time I invested to install apps into it because of this imperfection. I will talk to best buy to see what they suggest.

A good gaming PC, but held back from greatness

TL;DR Version - Great Computer held back by motherboard choice. Still needs some TLC to fix software errors. If you love to tinker, this is a great choice. If you want pain-free gaming though, you may want to look elsewhere.
From a specification standpoint, this is one of the best pre-built gaming desktops you can purchase. 12th Gen i7 is superb when combined with the included AIO water cooler. 32GB of DDR5 RAM is blazing fast and the RTX 3070ti is more than adequate to max out games up to 1440p with ease and even handle some 4k gaming.
In execution, this desktop does runs into issues. The MSI motherboard is adequate, but presents issues with the default configuration. In BIOS, I disabled XMP to reduce DDR5 BSOD occurrences. The CPU already supports DDR5 memory so disabling XMP doesn't seem to affect performance. MSI BIOS is also a bit behind compared to its competitors. Lastly, Windows 11 is still working out bugs with stopcheck errors and other things that are causing crashes. There's not much Corsair can do regarding Windows 11. Microsoft will eventually iron their stuff out.
Overall, it's a really good gaming desktop that is held back from greatness because of configuration choices that encourages BSODs, crashes, and other issues.

I had expected more problems from a system with DDR5, the new Z690 chipset, and Windows 11. Early adopter x3. This system has worked really well my first week with it. Runs everything so great. And no crashes at all. No problems at all, really.
It is really large and boxy. But the space and the fans really keep the temps down on the GPU and CPU. Installing an extra M.2 SSD was really easy, because the case is just wide open for this MSI Z690 Pro-A motherboard. Also, Corsair did an excellent job with cable management. And I thought I might get annoyed with the RGB, but it's just the right amount. The customizable lighting is fun.
And mine arrived with a founders edition 3070 ti. It's just a great system.

None of my current PCs were capable of supporting Windows 11. So I purchased this Corsair-Vengeance i7300 Gaming Desktop.
My first pleasant surprise was its speed. A big advantage over my previous PCs. So far CPU temperature runs in the mid-20s idle and mid-40s to mid-50s under load.
I've never paid much attention to PC lighting in the past. But they are kind of fascinating on this device.
The only negative so far is that the documentation sucks. After much searching, I finally found some motherboard information, from MSI, so I could figure out the various hookups.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with this purchase!!

I've had this PC for 2 weeks now, and it's exactly what I wanted. I haven't owned a pre-built PC for more than 20 years, but since the Vengeance is all Corsair parts it's what I would've built anyway. I was concerned about the DDR5 RAM potentially having problems because it's so new, but it's been rock solid - no crashes or blue screens. No bloatware at all, just a basic Windows 11 install and the Corsair iCUE management software. iCUE has been great, far better than the NZXT CAM software on my last PC.
To point out any issues is really just nit-picking but I wish it came with a Gen 4 nVME drive instead of Gen 3 for the extra speed, and I wish it came with one of the newer Corsair AIO coolers with an LCD screen. Those are the only components on the whole system that aren't "next gen" and it feels like they could've added those for a small increase in cost to really take this system to the next level.
Overall I'm very happy, 12 months no interest and I have a PC that will last me for the next 5+ years.

Ordered this system for pickup at my Best Buy store, thinking I would get them to open it up and inspect all the components before leaving. I had read reviews of other pre-built gaming computers that arrived at a buyer's address with loose pieces and component boards torqued in the slot. Wanted toavoid that repack / reship hassle.
Well, Best Buy texted me on the day of pickup saying it was ready. drove to the store, went to the counter, and in less than 3 minutes the person was back with my computer. It had tape all along the edges saying "inspected by Best Buy", so they had already checked it out.
Got it home, unpacked, and setup/install was a breeze. This computer runs flawlessly, completely silent, and things happen almost instantly. Thoroughly satisfied with this purchase!
Thank you to Corsair and to Best Buy. Great job!

I just recently bought this desktop and its amzing compare to the previous desktop I bought. After hours of gaming, the desktop is not even hot whereas the previous ones I bought it would get hot about 30 mins in. Games run smoothly even on ultra settings. Would absolutely recommend to those looking for a pre built desktop.
