Building a system with the Graphite Series 600T Silver Edition and Dominator Platinum memory

By Jeff Checchi posted Jul 06th 2012

Recently we announced quite a few new products, and updates to current product lines. Some of the most exciting are the new Dominator Platinum DDR3 memory with LED lighting, and the new Graphite Series 600T Silver mid-tower case. What better time to do a system build than when we have two new products that compliment each other so beautifully! We will also be using our brand new Force Series GS SSD with its fast toggle NAND technology, and our recently updated GS800 PSU. While we are at it, I am going to swap out all the stock fans from the 600T with our new Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition fans, and we will be using our SP120 Quiet Edition fans in place of the stock Hydro Series H100 fans. The silver and blue theme turned out great! If you have never built a system before, or you are not familiar with some of our new products from then check out the video below!

Introducing the Force Series GS SSDs

By Mike Clements posted Jul 05th 2012

Connoisseurs of SSDs know current NAND flash for SSDs comes in 3 varieties — fast, faster, and fastest. These can also be called asynchronous, synchronous, and toggle NAND respectively.

Those users that want the ultimate in SSD performance seek out the fastest SSD controllers paired with the fastest NAND flash. This is why we have paired the SandForce SF-2200 SSD Processor with toggle flash to create the Force Series™ GS line of SSDs.

Among those products is our Vengeance Series C70 gaming case which comes in three colors (Military Green, Arctic White, and Gunmetal Black), I will be using the Military Green version and hopefully this build log will give you a better look at the features and design of the C70.

Corsair Neutron Series and Neutron GTX Series SSDs

By Mike Clements posted Jun 06th 2012

There's almost always some very cool unexpected news announced each year at Computex and we have some this year. Corsair has proudly announced the Neutron Series and Neutron Series GTX Series SSDs. These SSDs come in fast, and faster configurations respectively. Both are based on a new SSD controller exclusive to Corsair, the LM87800 6Gb/s SSD controller from Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD).

Here's the Neutron Series SSD. Neutron Series SSDs are based on Micron ONFI NAND flash and it is extremely fast.

The Corsair AX1200i Digital ATX Power Supply

By Mike Clements posted Jun 05th 2012

Of all the components needed to build a computer, an ordinary power supply can be the most overlooked. The new Corsair AX Series AX1200i Digital ATX power supply is far from ordinary. It defies this definition and in fact tosses it out the window. The new Corsair AX1200i is a revolutionary product in the computer industry and it will most certainly not be overlooked in any system.

The Corsair HX Series Power Supply Refresh: Going for the Gold!

By Mike Clements posted Jun 05th 2012

Back in 2009 when we originally released our HX Series power supplies, we listed in their specifications that they met and exceeded the standards for 80 PLUS® Silver certification. Many reviewers and PSU aficionados quickly discovered that every unit tested and reviewed in this series actually met the standards for 80 PLUS Gold certification.

We knew this of course but we also knew that we could not guarantee that every HX Series PSU that hit the shelves would always meet the 80 PLUS Gold standard to our satisfaction. So, we intentionally chose to apply a conservative rating and list our HX series PSUs as 80 PLUS Silver units.

The New Corsair Force Series 3 SSD Notebook Upgrade Kits

By Mike Clements posted May 24th 2012

Quite frequently when talking about computers, I use the term "chimple". I believe that ideally computer upgrades in general should be so simple that a chimp can do them — aka chimple. My reasoning is that if something is in fact so simple that a chimp can do it, that means that I have a decent shot at pulling it off too.

Our new Force Series 3 SSD Notebook Upgrade Kits are the epitome of chimple. The kit includes an SSD, a USB connector, and the Corsair Data Migration software CD.

Corsair and TigerDirect MS Fundraiser Follow Up

By Mike Clements posted May 21st 2012

We wanted to follow up on our recent Corsair and TigerDirect Auction to Benefit the National MS Society. We worked with our friends at TigerDirect and EVGA to place a really nice gaming PC into an eBay auction starting at $150. The entire proceeds, minus the normal eBay fees, have been donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. The winning bid was for a whopping $2850!

This was a wonderful team effort and we had a great response from the community. We'd like to offer a heartfelt thanks to all of you that helped spread the word about the auction, that reposted the links, and that shared it on Facebook, etc. Each and every one of you helped make this a great success!
