CORSAIR today launched its highly anticipated family of next-generation all-in-one (AIO) CPU coolers, the iCUE LINK TITAN RX RGB. Delivering unparalleled performance, striking aesthetics, and unique iCUE LINK connectivity, the TITAN RX RGB takes its lofty place as the best performing cooler that CORSAIR has ever created. Thousands of hours of in-house engineering and years of experience bringing award-winning CPU coolers to market have culminated in the TITAN RX RGB, a generational breakthrough in cooling that sets a new standard in the industry.

Driving the TITAN RX RGB's phenomenal performance is the new FlowDrive cooling engine, powered by a three-phase motor that offers improved power efficiency, quieter operation, and a higher flow rate than its predecessors. This, combined with a precision-engineered cold plate surface profile that ensures optimal contact with your CPU's integrated heat spreader, results in consistently lower temperatures under all conditions. With the inclusion of CORSAIR's top-performing RX RGB fans, specifically engineered for the high airflow and static pressure needed for radiator cooling, the TITAN RX RGB provides exceptional cooling performance with impressively low acoustics.

As the demand for more detailed power supply information grows, Corsair (Nasdaq: CRSR) will begin exclusively using Cybenetics' more advanced certifications for both efficiency and noise, moving away from 80 Plus certification. As part of this process, Corsair is dedicated to improving consumer awareness of the differences between Cybenetics and 80 Plus, so that they can shop with the confidence when selecting a PSU that it has undergone rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and acoustics.

Cybenetics certification offers a more comprehensive assessment of PSU performance than its predecessor. It still rates efficiency on a familiar tier system in the form of Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Titanium certifications, making the transition easy for PC enthusiasts. Cybenetics testing, however, is far more thorough and detailed than 80 Plus, leading to more accurate results.

Here at Corsair's Computex suite, we saw a unique prototype of a modular sim racing cockpit and this is not surprising since we know Corsair to have intentions of entering the world of sim racing. This hybrid racing frame offers great adjustability, allowing easy changes between a semi-reclined position for Formula racing and an upright position for GT-style racing. It's perfect for fans who enjoy different types of racing.

Made with a strong steel frame, the cockpit can handle intense racing with high-torque wheelbases and heavy-duty pedals. The design reduces flex and increases stability, providing an immersive experience that makes users feel like real drivers.

Keyboards and mice are now objects of personality, gamers like to have highly customized peripherals, whether they stream or not. Corsair showcased its new Custom Lab service at Computex. This allows you to purchase first-party custom keycaps, sets of keycaps, body panels, or mousepads, either by customizing the Corsair peripherals you already have; or by purchasing new peripherals first-party, and customizing it online. You could start with a base product and customize each component as a digital twin, or choose from Collections—pre-designed sets of gears, which you can buy untouched, or further customize them. We were shown several of these collections.More pictures follow.

Corsair has a short and crisp presentation at the 2024 Computex (thank you for not bringing your entire catalog to the show floor), and we begin our tour with cases. The 9000D is the spiritual successor to the 1000D—a no-holes-barred full tower with enough room for multiple independent DIY liquid cooling loops, so you could liquid-cool your CPU, graphics cards, and other hot gear separately from each other. Actually, you can have two separate PCs in here, with the second one being a Mini-ITX, so you could run your streaming and OBS server off it without affecting your main rig's game latency in any possible way. There are at least four large radiator mounts that take 480 mm or 420 mm radiators, each. You can see from the example build how you have the room for multiple reservoirs, radiators, and independent loops.

Next up, is the 3500X, a smart looking mid-tower with a contemporary pillarless front-left corner that gives you a panoramic view of your hardware. It comes with side-facing vents that are recessed into the motherboard tray, so they don't come in the way of large graphics cards like the ASUS Strix RTX 40-series shown here. The case also has strategically-located cutouts in the motherboard tray to support backside-connectivity formats such as the ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and the GIGABYTE AORUS Stealth. There is plenty of crawlspace behind the motherboard tray, so you can wrestle with your 24-pin and 12VHPWR cables. Both cases implement Corsair's InfiniRail system that allows you to move your fans around a bit to optimize airflow, and Corsair's iCUE Link lighting and fan control hub. The 3500X is available now, the 9000D will come in later this year.

The MP700 PRO SE performs at its best alongside the latest platforms such as Intel 14th Gen and AMD Ryzen 7000 series CPUs and PCIe 5.0 motherboards. However, it also maintains backwards compatibility with PCIe 4.0 motherboards, providing a clear upgrade path and ensuring the drive's longevity for years to come.

The MP700 PRO SE adheres to the industry standard M.2 2280 form factor, ensuring wide compatibility with a range of systems and platforms while maintaining ease of installation. Although the drive requires cooling to achieve optimal performance, the integrated M.2 cooling on most motherboards is more than capable. Additionally, the MP700 PRO SE is available with a stylish active cooler that keeps the drive running smoothly and minimizes throttling.

Drop, a leading community-driven e-commerce brand, and audio pioneer Axel Grell have achieved a new pinnacle in stereo imaging and audio engineering with the Drop + Grell OAE1 Signature Headphones. Leveraging Grell's three decades of audio engineering and product development experience designing some of the industry's most iconic headphones, the driver-forward, open-around-ear OAE1 headphones lean into the structure of the human ear to achieve a more natural and realistic sound field much closer to a speaker listening experience.

The most notable aspect of the Drop + Grell OAE1s is the radical and acute placement of the drivers in front of and away from the ears, enabling the sound field from the transducers to take advantage of the ears natural structure to direct sound into the ear canal. The open-around-ear design minimizes acoustic reflections and controlling sound pressure, with the culmination of both innovations resulting in improved stereo imaging, a natural sound field, and the uncovering of the deepest dimensions of any song. "Our ears are as individual as fingerprints, so when you put a driver right on top of the eardrum like most headphones do, it will sound good for some and bad for others," shares Grell. "By positioning the driver in front of the ear, we're bringing the natural geometry of the ear into the sound forming process, allowing the brain to equalize the sound. Combined with its open-around-ear design, these signature headphones create a rich and pure audio experience."

Corsair announced today that it has entered exclusive negotiations to acquire sim racing specialist Endor AG, owners of the world famous Fanatec brand.
