Corsair Hydro X Series: the most complete Corsair cooling system

And how could it be otherwise, we are going to start precisely with this impressive system that we have already talked about long and hard for the last few days, and if you want to know more about it, we leave you the link to the news and the first details.

Well, this system has its own website where each user can build it according to their needs, hardware and chassis so that the manufacturer places an order with just what is necessary.

Hydro X Series is a complete system that includes blocks for Intel and AMD CPUs compatible with all platforms, under the specification XC7 and XC9, and also cold blocks for graphics cards. Although currently only offers compatibility with "Founders Edition" and Asus ROG Strix models, but the manufacturer claims that more will come.

The system has a 330 ml tank with pump included, radiators of all sizes and thick and thin profiles, rigid and soft tubes that stand out with ultraviolet light, and coolant in different colors. All this is customizable and with RGB lighting in the main blocks, manageable from iCUE. We could see the results in some montages of the brand and it is simply spectacular, yes, it is not cheap.

Corsair K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile Keyboard

This keyboard is a new variant of the brand's top- of-the- range K70 mechanical keyboard in which Corsair has managed to reduce the profile of the keys so that they are up to 1/3 lower than the normal ones. CHERRY MX Speed ​​Silver switches, the fastest built by the specialist manufacturer, have been installed.

Like its normal variant, this K70 has iCUE addressable RGB LED lighting on each of its keys and on the front. For now we only have a variant with a total of 105 keys in full format with pre-established scenarios oriented to MOBA and FPS games. It has a single USB 2.0 connector and is made of aluminum and plastic armrests. The price of this keyboard is currently 179.99 euros in the official store.

Corsair ElGato Stream Deck XL: the ultimate streamer panel

Content creators are in luck, because this ElGato series features the most acclaimed products in the content creation industry for streamers and gamers around the world.

For those who still didn't have enough keys on their Stream Deck, the XL version with up to 32 keys has now been released. The operation is simple, connect it to the PC and assign tasks to each of its keys, it will depend on our imagination and creativity to become the best weapon for Streamers. But it is not only a piece of aluminum with programmable buttons, in each of them there is an LCD screen in which the linked application, macro function, images and even GIFs can be identified.

This panel is compatible with After Effects, OBS, Twitch, etc., so the functionality of the keys will adapt intelligently to the platform we are using. Something very interesting is that it has a development kit for companies to easily create apps for the device. Did you know that a simple keypad could get so much out of it? You can buy it for 250 Euros, a price not at all crazy.

Corsair SSD MP600 Gen4 PCIe is the new M.2 PCIe 4.0

Except that you live inside a cave, you will already know that all the main manufacturers have presented their new motherboards with AMD X570 chipset, preparing for the new AMD Ryzen 3000 processors and adding support for the new PCI-Express 4.0 Bus that offers 2000 MB / s for each LANE both up and down.

Well, Corsair did not want to be left behind in the race for having the fastest M.2 SSD and has presented its MP600 compatible with this new bus. This little wonder is built with 3D NAND TLC flash memory and a Phison PS5016-E16 controller. This is enough to ensure sequential read and write registers of 4950 MB / s and 4250 MB / s.

Those long-sought 3500 MB / s in PCIe 3.0 x4 are already far away, and we have not reached the maximum, the theoretical speed in x4 4.0 is 8, 000 MB / s, so there is still much room for improvement. Corsair has reported that this unit will appear on the market in the summer (we are already in summer) so we intuit that it will be in the month of July, along with the first batch of AMD Ryzen 3000 and boards with AMD X470, before it would not make sense.

New PSU models in the RM series, more and better

Corsair has also taken advantage of this year to update part of its RM series of power supplies. In fact, we have a total of three new models, Corsair RM850, RM750, and RM650.

All of these sources are modular and the manufacturer has exchanged Japanese electrolytic capacitors for others made in Taiwan. However, they do offer 80 Plus Gold certification, and the highest-powered model is certified to support up to two high-performance graphics cards.

Like other brands, these sources have PWM control technology in their fans, and with the " Ultra Low Noise " feature they will remain disabled as long as the PSU workload is maintained at levels less than about half. In fact, they are already available for purchase at prices of 12.90 RM850, 114.90 RM750 and 104.90 RM650, which are not bad.

Conclusion on Corsair news at COMPUTEX 2019

The Corsair brand has done a great job this year, bringing us these and many more news that will be aimed especially at gamers and users who want to receive an extra from their PC with quality products.

Of course highlight those new PCIe 4.0 SSDs that we really want to try, and especially the impressive custom liquid cooling system that it has created. For modding and PC fans with extreme performances, this is going to be the best games room to experiment.
