He also got a super early version that had no fan curves installed yet, but yes, the entire concept of the machine is flawed. You can't adequately cool an Intel i9 with a 120 mm AIO if you're actually stressing it out and not just doing some heavily GPU-bound gaming like F1 in 4K. The GPU VRMs are without any active cooling as well, just passively cooled by what is effectively a case fan. Not good at all.

@@tim3172 Based on the teardown in Debauer's video, the graphics card does not have any heatsink or heatspreaders on the VRMs. Just bare mosfets. The case fan is mounted on the lower right side of the side panel, blow air into the lower cavity of the case. It's not especially targeted or pointed towards the mosfets, just doing the equivalent job of front panel fans on a conventional tower. In this case, I would think describing the GPU VRMs as 'being passively cooled' is an appropriate desctiption, since the entire left hand side bank of VRM is quite far away from the fan, and is effectively just cooled by whatever overall ventilation in the lower chamber that the side panel fan could provide. You can see the rather bare looking PCB in this video at about 5:06 minute in

I really, really wish Corsair would just sell the case for the One. It’s a really cool form factor but there’s no way I’m paying what they want for a pre built one.

Don't worry about CPU degradation and instability with this system - Corsair limits the CPU to 240W PL2. They already can't cool it at that wattage with a flimsy 120mm rad and low profile fans, anyway. They just don't tell you, because "optimized performance" (just downward) and "sophisticated cooling" (true, just still woefully inadequate) sounds so much better. That whole system is a joke, and the ridiculous price is just icing on the cake.

That should be called the Corsair 2, it's twice the thickness

Looks like a station wagon we had, growing up in the ‘70s.

120mm aio on a 14900k.?! Did corsair hire Alienware staff for this?.

Review for this should've been a lot more negative. This just looks like a fancy hot box.

I love how case manufacturers are starting to use wood in their cases, it's so much easier to create a clean aesthetic in your desk space

At this point they should be selling those as a PC case or bare bone, since it seems it is gonna be compatible with standard PC parts. Also, it seems like "vertical" design like old Silver stone FT03 mini or Hyte Revolt 3 would work better for case like this.

Did everyone forget that Ryzen exist or something, this would have been better with a R9 7800X3D & 7900 XTX. Not a fanboy, I'm just stating a fact

Best feature? That rear IO light. That's such a little but MASSIVE thing. $5 feature that saves the wear and tear on ports.

Needing to disable raytracing to not let it go to hot on a 4090 is just insane

The Derbauer review of this thing already tells me what I need to know about it. Absolutely brutal cooling design for the price and apparent rookie mistakes on the fan configuration.

You should prob mention that the UEFI in Corsairs pre builts is a custom made one that they dont bother maintaining after a year or two after release meaning the hardware youre buying might become a paperweight if you wanted to update your motherboard to accept a new cpu that isnt compatible out of the box, which isnt a uncommon occurence.

For its size, Corsair could've fit most of its standard watercooling lineup in there. Would've saved space to only have one pump, standardized parts would've been cheaper. Slap an XR5 240 rad on that hinged door, good to go. Hell, at this price, they should've used their Link fans, if only to cut out most of the cabling in their already cramped case.

This was like watching Unbox Therapy. I thought ShortCircuit was supposed to be like that, but with the credibility and quality of LTT. It is up to a preference? That is a spineless way to say practically nothing at the end. If your preference is to have an expensive PC that is cooking itself to death even without dust in it...yeah, this is certainly a great option. Yuck...

"Don't wanna break it. Or drop it." Ahh, so that's why Linus wasn't allowed near this thing

It’s only drawing 150w and it’s at 98c…are you kidding me? That is like 1/2 the power draw of the 14900k.

Imagine putting an Intel in a heat sensitive sized case in 2024.

By using TORX manufacturer usually indicates that this is probably not what you are need to do. For example at my AIO pump they use them to seal liquid inside it. I don't see any problem because TORX usually even better than Philips.

what monitor is that?

All that performance, and that price, yet no USB 4 or Thunderbolt? I wish it were available with a Ryzen 7800X3D instead.

The Fractal case with wood looks good, this does remind me of 1970s hi-fi and CRT TVs and stuff. Wait, how is that gigantic cover that looks exactly like a heatsink, not just a heatsink? What a waste of material.

This thing looks like my Grans waldrobe, once seen, I can't unsee it 🤔 Particular the start button for door handles.

Can we just have the case? 1490k on a 120mm rad is wild.

Don't get me wrong here but I have doubts about the labs data. Der8auer pointed out so many flawed things. How can a single person be more accurate than a whole team and how the hell did this made it through the ECC Squad

What about memory temps on the GPU ? Dunno why it wasn’t mentioned.
