The ONE i600, Corsair's latest gaming PC, has dropped and is generating buzz.
Imagine cramming high-tier gaming hardware into the neat little enclosure of a micro-ATX chassis. Then throw in the fact that this machine is designed to look great, and it features advanced cooling with dedicated liquid cooling loops for both the processor and graphics card – and you have my attention.
What's Ticking Inside This Compact Beast.
Under the hood, the Corsair ONE i600 is built on a motherboard for the Intel Z890 chipset. Your gaming and other tasks are powered by a mighty Core Ultra 9 258K processor, which is kept chill by a 240mm liquid cooling system dedicated to it. About the graphics. It sports an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (with 16GB VRAM), which gets the same treatment by the liquid cooler dedicated to it. Now, that little monster packs some cooling.
The memory and storage are also no slouch. We're talking 64GB of fast DDR5-6400 RAM and a spacious 2TB NVMe drive to pack in your games and stuff. Everything's being powered by a reliable 1000-watt power supply rated for efficiency with an 80 Plus Gold certification.
Connectivity and Customization
While it concerns plugging stuff in, the ONE i600 covers all bases. There are a pretty generous number of ports, nine USB Type-A ports, and two USB Type-C ports. For online access and connecting your wireless gear, it comes with the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
Corsair hasn't neglected the software, supporting the Dashboard Software utility that lets you monitor your hardware, tweak performance settings, and, of course, customize the case lighting. As for the case, here's another nice touch: You can opt for a decorative front panel with actual wooden inserts to give it a truly unique and somewhat unexpected look for a gaming rig.
The Price of This Pocket Rocket
So, how much do you need to part with for this compact powerhouse and its extraordinary design. Starting from $4999, the Corsair ONE i600 is making its way to the North American market. Definitely a premium offering, but it would suit anyone wanting top-end performance in a small, stylish, and uniquely cooled package.
