CORSAIR Ushers in the New Era of AMD with Support for AMD Ryzen 7000 CPUs

[btarunr]

CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced its readiness for the new AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors and accompanying motherboard chipsets. Featuring all new Zen 4 CPU architecture, AMD Ryzen 7000 Series chips deliver a substantial performance boost over previous-generation processors, and CORSAIR has the components to help support this generational upgrade. Those looking to build a new AMD system can take advantage of the free online CORSAIR PC Builder to help shortlist compatible parts for their new system.

CORSAIR has been working closely with AMD in the lead-up to the AMD Ryzen 7000 Series launch, and has already updated its PC Builder database to include the new processors so that you can curate a parts list for a powerful new AMD PC in minutes. The CORSAIR PC Builder takes your chosen CPU, graphics card, and motherboard and checks them for compatibility against a vast database of PC parts, coming up with a comprehensive list of CORSAIR parts guaranteed to work with your system. From a correctly sized case and appropriate fans, to a PSU rated to power your build and even RGB lighting, the CORSAIR PC Builder takes the guesswork out of building your new Ryzen 7000 Series powered PC. The CORSAIR PC Builder is even able to intelligently optimize the parts selected, so that you don't overspend or bottleneck your build with a mismatched component.



CORSAIR is also ready for the launch with a wide array of products to support your new CPU. AMD Ryzen 7000 Series utilize the next-generation AM5 socket, which is already compatible with all current CORSAIR all-in-one liquid CPU coolers that support AM4, including the versatile ELITE LCD Series, the ultra-bright ELITE CAPELLIX Series, and the performance-driven RGB ELITE Series. With celebrated CORSAIR cooling, your PC will quietly manage the heat while you reap the benefits of next-generation AMD CPU performance.

AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors will support the latest DDR5 performance memory, bringing with it huge improvements in frequency, bandwidth and potential capacity. CORSAIR will be offering a complete range of performance DDR5 memory, specifically optimized and equipped for compatibility with AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors. Look for a full CORSAIR AMD DDR5 announcement later this month.

All I can say is.... #sayNO2rgb




Being forced (no other Corsair choices) to buy products with RGB just because there is no other non-rgb option is going to make me a customer elsewhere.

Hopefully Gskill will have updated flare-x for Ddr5.

I was so worried they would not support the AMD 7000 series./s

Free marketing for Corsair and their crappy propietary stuff.

 

[GerKNG]

yeah just pay 30-40% more for your product just for some RGB LEDs and install a several gigabyte large piece of bloatware to disable it again.
sounds like a good idea...

Crucial Ballistix memory with RGB lights that can be disabled only while Windows-only program is running in the backgound says hi.

Just how much do you think tiny LEDs cost?

most RGB and none RGB products have reached price equilibrium a long time ago. This isn't 2014 anymore.

So you have no color to your build at all? Not all red, all blue, green? Hating on RGB is stupid. You dont have to have unicorn vomit on 24/7. Hell, you dont even need to turn the RGB on. You can literally just turn it off.

What is crappy about their stuff?

Because gigabytes are hard to come by, right?

Also, here is that "bloatware" you describe. Whatever shall I do with all that missing CPU and memory resources!?

 

[b1k3rdude]

This looks and sounds like shill marketing, I appreciate sites have to make money but these types of PR just turn me off intensly

Regarding the RGB comments - dont forget you need to have Corsair bloatware running in the background to disabable RGB, unlike Razer who's settings are saved to the device without the need for such bollox.

Never been a fan of Corsair, basically since they pulled a switch and bait with the 32GB GT USB stick back in the day. I never got all my money back on that, despite Corsair out right lying and the retailer being a complete arsehole. This was before I was fully aware of consumer law/rights etc and had a CC that has protection specically for online purchases.

You CLEARLY didnt see the task manager screenshot in my post. There is nothing bloatware about their iCue software.

 

[Space Lynx]

No thanks, if I am buying anything it's an Arctic AIO 360mm.

The whole argument here is that this isn't true. You can install iCUE, program the DIMMs to have it off, and uninstall the software. RGB behavior persists once programmed via software.

This is correct.

You can set the hardware Profiles of the each modules in the software and it stay even when you aren't in windows (like when you boot the computer, or in the case of memory, when it's hybernating).

after that you can have the software to do it's thing while it's running like having different scheme. Anyway in case of a AIO, you might want to have the corsair Icue running to run your cooling profile.

On the case of iCUE, when it's running fine, it's a fairly small program but let say it's not the most stable software around and it can do weird stuff or crash from time to time. It's a lot better now than few years ago but still not perfect.

 

[Nihillim]

All the little LEDs adding up don't cost much, but I think the biggest argument against it is that the price of those products include iCUE support(I don't think that's actually free).
You spent the money on it, might as well use it.
For some, iCUE is a love/ok/hate relationship, and that it's required likely rubs some the wrong way.

"Even though I turned off all the LEDs, I still paid more for it when I could've gotten a Liquid Freezer II, Pure Loop, or some air cooler..."

 

[TheinsanegamerN]

Just how much do you think tiny LEDs cost?

Just how much do you think manufacturers jack up the prices for having them?

You are correct. Hating on RGB is fun not stupid. Hating on haters is stupid.

Install gigabyte bloatware... for corsair stuff?

SHUT UP, CORSAIR!!

AMD made a big deal about socket AM5 being 100% compatible with all AM4 coolers. You cannot take ANY credit for Ryzen 7000 support you sleazy (overpriced, garishly-RGBLED) bastards!

 

[mahirzukic2]

I just checked again and there is something there. When I clicked on build a PC it led me to another webpage which corsair previously had and used to make full PC builds and charge right then and there for those components sold by Corsair.
What's even worse, when prompted to choose which processor I want, I selected the Ryzen 7000 series. The webpage then gave me a selection of x670 motherboards and I selected some random one. Afterwards it proceeded to the RAM selection and was greeted with this message:

This is such a shltshow from Corsair. I mean if you're not ready for go-live, don't release half-assed products or services. DUH.

SHUT UP, CORSAIR!!

This comes as a salt to the wound on top of the above mentioned stuff.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

It really does not matter, adding LEDs adds either $25US or 25% to the base price, whichever is higher.
