Perfect Top Of The Line Gaming PC!

My goal was to get a pre-built PC made with off-the-shelf components (no proprietary OEM motherboard or whatever), with a flashy case (ie RGB), and overall as top of the line as can be.
This PC doesn’t disappoint!
The components largely speak for themselves:
* Intel’s fastest gaming CPU? Check!
* nVidia’s fastest graphics card? Check!
* 64GB of just about the fastest ram? Check!
* 4TB of NVME SSD? Check!
What else does one really need!?
The case design is wonderful in many regards: Particularly cooling, lighting, and usage of space.
When it comes to performance, this PC can’t be stopped. I get around 1000fps in RocketLeague; 250fps in Halo Infinite; 150fps in Cyberpunk 2077; etc. You can crank the settings to max, and still enjoy buttery smooth gameplay, no matter the game.
The price for this PC is steep, but if you want to get your hands on an RTX 4090 with the hardware to support it, you’re going to be spending over $4k. At that point, why risk a personal build with all the potential pitfalls and RMA’s for DOA components?
The craftsmanship of this build is nothing short of top notch. These guys didn’t cut corners, at all!
If I was going to get back into PC gaming, it was going to have to be at this level or not at all, and this PC fits the moment, exactly.

This is my first time purchasing a PC so I was skeptical. I wasn’t too sure what to look for. I haven’t had a single issue so far. It’s a great product. I only needed to do a fee updates to get it up and running.

I LOVE this computer! I did a lot of research before my purchase. I'm in my 50's and I needed a computer that could handle anything I could throw at it for business and my photography hobby. This machine was easy to set up and CAN handle ANYTHING I can throw at it! It's fast, too!

I received a PC that was not prepared correctly for out of box experience.
I booted up the PC and was automatically logged in as Windows Administrator.
System preparation tool launched.
Giving Corsair the benefit of the doubt, I attempted to finish sysprep by running cleanup and shut down for OOBE.
Upon start up, OOBE ran.
Upon further inspection, Windows never activated.
There was also a lot of junk left on the desktop from their image deployment process.
For a PC they cost the end user almost $5,000 this was an extreme disappointment.
Corsair, please improve your image deployment process and QA.

Fastest and coolest (thermally) PC in the market

Purchased my Vengeance i8200 in November so I’ve had it a little over a month. Arrived well packaged with nice instructions on how to unpack.
It’s absolutely impressive and a complete gaming monster. I’ve been running Fortnite at 240 Hz on 1440p — I’m frame limited by my monitor but it can easily run 360 fps. And this is on DirectX 12, not performance mode. Quality is cranked up all the way and I’m getting a 1.9 ms rendering delay which is absolutely insane. The 64 GB of memory is really nice for streaming… no dips in frame rate whatsoever.
My i8200 came with a Palit 4090 GPU… it’s random what you’ll get for a 4090 GPU. I’ve heard of some people getting Asus or MSI as well… it’s whatever they have in stock at the moment but any choice, in my opinion, they go with will be good. Or they wouldn’t select it as a component since they are providing a 2 year warranty on the system.
The iCue software is pretty cool for customizing the RGB lighting. Also allows you to customize fan speeds — I crank up cooling when in a gaming session. Under high demand, the 4090’s temps have not gotten above 50C… cooling is very impressive. Performance falls in line with the Just!N Tech YouTube review of the i8100… except this baby has a slightly faster Intel processor and slightly faster RAM. When I put the machine in quiet mode, you can barely hear it. Even on extreme mode, it’s fairly quiet.
Plenty of room in the case. You can certainly add more components although I’m not sure what else you’d want to add. The 1000 watt power supply can definitely take on additional load.
Most of the negative reviews on here are complete BS. Corsair knows what they are doing and stand behind their products… which is why they offer a 2 year warranty.
If you want a high end gaming system that will be future proof for a solid 5+ years, this is it. Look no further. This system is top of the line but comes with a hefty price tag… as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. The 4090 is insanely good… I was on the fence and almost went with a 4080 to save money but I’m glad I went with the 4090 instead. If you can afford it, you won’t be disappointed.

1440p, Maxed out graphics, absolutely crushing every game I’ve thrown at this pc. Even unoptimized games like warzone are no match for this build, destroyed warzone with an average FPS approaching between 250-300 FPS with ultra settings in place. The thermals are great, came with a Geoforce RTX 4090 that has solid cooling, rarely even hits 65 C while intensive gaming. If you want a future proof build that can max out all the games you want for the next 3-4 years, this is your build.

Technological Marvel! Love everything about it, from the speed, the looks, the ease of use, and quietness. What surprised me also was the size of the unit, absolutely massive unit. Have had zero issues with it and has been running smoothly since unpacking it about a month ago. It was pricey, but I expect this to last me quite some time so it's worth it to me

Worst computer hardware purchase I've ever made. For what I paid (in the $5000 range) This machine was a pile of junk slapped together with no love. A motherboard with custom firmware that I had no way to update/flash when attempting to do so from Asus' website once I realized manufacturers were trying to fix the Intel i9 issues that everyone now knows about. Corsair website had 0 information about this and Corsair support was no help - you'll notice the product specifications won't even tell you what you're getting - mine was a ASUS PRIME Z790-P WIFI) housing a processor with known thermal/voltage issues (sure, blame intel but why aren't you guys immediately supplying BIOS updates when all the other manufacturers do?). Support via Corsair direct couldn't answer a single question when I emailed them. Also it's two 2TB drives, one of which is a decent MP600XT, the other is trash. The motherboard itself is pretty barebones. You're far better off risking your own build (I figured Corsair was a company I could trust to save me the time and so I paid the premium to not have to do deal with it). That was a horrible mistake.. I'm now at the stage of replacing the motherboard, installing my own NVME's, pursuing a RMA for the CPU through the manufacturer and getting a new cooler as well because the one installed is absolute trash - without any changes out of box, since day 1, I've been seeing this thing hit 100c - sometimes spiking into the 80s from web browsing. I noticed they hadn't even configured cooling profiles / XMP properly when I finally did start digging into the system settings. I cant imagine what someone with no technical knowledge would be experiencing (or just not noticing their computer destroying itself with heat). I wish I had avoided this purchase because I'm now spending a couple grand to turn this junk into at least a working rig again. I'm praying my RMA goes through because who knows how difficult Corsair/BestBuy will make that process and what qualifies to Intel as a proof of purchase. Please don't waste your money - take the small amount of time to learn how to build a computer and enjoy that process - I have only regrets and will never purchase a prebuilt "high-end" PC ever again.
