hey guys this is Austin this is the coarser 1 Pro a $3,000 gaming PC but is it worth it big show that's of course they are presenting that side a little bit early so the Corsair 1 launched a few months ago however this is the new pro model with a gtx 980ti so it's not a huge box what we're getting here is a very powerful gaming PC and that is actually really small ok so one of the things you should know about the Corsair 1 is that it is water-cooled which is part of the reason why they're able to get so much hardware and such a uniquely shaped chest the footprint of the one is actually smaller than a lot of gaming consoles what you're trading off here is it's just a very tall system but I think for a lot of pcs that's really not going to be an issue it also is pretty much entirely made of metal so heavy before we get too far into it let's see what else we have in the box which doesn't seem like anything at all yep a power cable it should give you a lot of great accessories with your brand new 3000 all ganging PC but wait hang on hand I'm sorry I was wrong there is a dual band Wi-Fi antenna so you know it's all an accessory pack so I am really curious to see what's inside the Corsair one from the front you don't have a whole lot is basically just a power button as well as the USB port an HDMI presumably to make the TR set up easier what's interesting is both on the left and right side you can see this thing has massive radiators I gotta say I actually like the look of this a lot of course Corsair has made more than their fair share of RGB stuff but with this we're getting something that's a little bit more understated on top you have a fairly large metal grate with what I assume is a 200 millimeter fan there's also this button which when I press it the whole top panel actually comes off so it's still cabled in here of course I get a new PC and I'm literally taking it apart immediately inside you'll find me 500 watt small form-factor power supply as well as the rear of the graphics card so it's interesting is it actually has all the HDMI display ports cables coming out of it because obviously no one's plugging stuff in to the top of the system move around back and then I do have the power lead but also all the video outputs that are being routed from the top of the case and also click it has a fairly standard looking motherboard here which is also where you plug in the Wi-Fi antenna as a $3,000 gaming PC you would hope has pretty small specs and it most certainly does not disappoint and one of the nice things about the one Pro that is actually really easy to work on so press one button to pull off the fan as well as the shroud take out two screws you have access to the full system inside it has an Intel Core i7 7700 K and what's nice about this thing is that is going to be fully water coolers own dedicated radiator you can also get a look at the MIT X motherboard as well as these 32 gigabytes of memory that's installed now I really do appreciate just how easy it is to actually work on this it's also walking a 480 gigabytes nvme SSD as well as a 2 terabyte hard drive take two more screws off the top and we get access to the graphics card so of course here is going all out here so this is the gtx 980ti and again it's also going to have a custom water cooler on it now what's interesting about the design here is that there's going to be a thin 240 millimeter radiator on either side of the system so essentially it's doing is it's using this 200 millimeter fan on the top to pull air up and in through the system and exhaust without the top kind of like the Mac Pro I'm going to give Corsair big props this is a very thoughtfully designed system but of course the big question is can it actually gain spoiler alert with a gtx 1080i and a core i7 to start with gaming we have GTA 5 now here running on the LG ultrawide monitor at 38 40 by 1600 with basically all the settings cranked up the 1080i has no problem running this at anywhere between 80 to 100 frames per second which of course should be no surprise considering that this is like a $750 graphics card now of course I want is generally pretty quiet you can hear that spinning up a little bit right now under full load but considering this is a very small form-factor water-cooled PC it's not bad moving on we have dirt 4 so Codemasters always does a good job with their PC games and this is no exception here running at full resolution and pretty much all the things totally cranked up where anywhere between 50 to 60 frames per second I've got to say with that 1080i and this huge nice display this is a really cool experience so ashes of the singularity you might not be the most popular game in the world but it's one of my favorite games to benchmark new systems so another does it take advantage of DirectX 12 but it's really nice and here with basically everything cranked to high settings the full resolution really anywhere between 50 to 60 frames per second I know a game that can definitely take advantage of the Corsair 1 Pro this Deus Ex mankind divided now running onto ultra wide we're getting anywhere between 60 to 70 frames per second on high settings MEDLINE does this game look great on the display but more importantly it really does go to show just how nice a game can look once you have some serious 1080i power so is it worth it it's $3,000 this definitely is not a cheap system if you wanted to build a similar spec yourself you'll be able to save about $600 however what you're giving up here is not only the small form factor case but almost more importantly all the water cooling that makes it all work it's going to be difficult to build a small form factor system with this level of power almost regardless of price and you also do get a two-year warranty as well as the simplicity of being able to pull it out of the box and be good to go there are also models of the Corsair one that are a bit cheaper in torreón years overkill so if you're looking for a small form factor system like this I'm going to say it's a lot better than I expected so what do you guys think about the Corsair one pro let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
