Corsair's D.Va Build, MP500 SSD, K95 RGB Platinum Keyboard

2017-01-11
excellent hey guys welcome back to CES 2017 coverage I am at Coursera I'm going to start off talking about what Coursera is most well known for at least what they started off with I think in the PC space which is memory what they've done here is taking their vengeance memory modules that have LEDs in them like these over here and they've made them RGB because as soon as it give people the ability to have lights in their memory people like we want those lights to be able to be different colors so as a vengence RG p RGB series we're expecting it later this quarter so it's not quite ready yet but they've been working on developing the software so that course Airlink which integrates with that with them you can control each LED individually you can control them as a group you can assign different groups with different profiles to them and then you can go in here and adjust different effects of course so you can change the effect of how quickly the colors change and make it faster or slower many of the effects that you might expect when it comes to like breathing and color change and that kind of thing is already integrated here even though they're still using kind of a beta version of the software so that's pretty cool there's a challenge with integrating RGB LEDs because they don't have any external wires or anything like that connected to it so it's all controlled directly through the dim slot or the the it's powered through the dim slot and communicates with the motherboard through the dim slot but it also has actually the capability to store your profile on the memory module itself so if you haven't installed in the system and configure stuff with the corsair link software you can take the dims out put it in a put them in a different system and I'll keep doing the RGB cycle or whatever profile that you set up so that's kind of cool I wanted to really quickly mention this right here the fourth series MP 500 it's been a while since Corsair came out with the new SSD so they decided to jump up to the newest and fanciest type of SSD that you can do which is an m2 SSD with nvme support there's not a whole lot to say about it other than that it's got a nice black PCB so I'm just going to blend in with your build pretty nicely but if yellow accents on the label as far as what they have here available in 120 240 and 480 gig capacities m2 2280 form factor and they don't have the read and write speeds listed here so I don't know what they are but I think they're pretty good I believe the reads are well over 2000 and the writes are in the 1 to 2 thousand range but don't quote me on that I'm planning on getting one of these and a video on it so I'll bring you more information on that when it's available over here we have a new series of power supplies and these are budget series power supplies they've had the CM series for quite a while you know those are the power supplies that are very good and get the job done but Kyle and I constant help constantly tell people to upgrade them when they have them in systems because he got a pee off the label because it was kind of a brighter green color and then the cabling itself was not quite as appealing as it could have been that ketchup and mustard going on so Coursera's replacing that with a TX series right here they have a 556 57 50 and 850 watt versions they're partially modular but the cables as you can maybe see here are all black so budget power supply course air quality no hideous colors that might mismatch with your build and and give ya get a new power supply also the HX Series has been updated removed basically they've removed the I from it it's just the HX whatever not like the 1200 I like they have over there they gutted the Corsair link capabilities from these power supplies so they're more straightforward power supplies but by doing that they can reduce the price by they said about $20 per unit and finally we have the product that I think Corsair was most excited about which is the newest version of their K 95 keyboard which is called the K 95 RGB platinum because everything that's platinum is usually the best that's possible but basically the way Corsair has updated the previous K 95 so I've added a light bar across the top it's got 18 18 different LED illumination areas and they're all very smooth so you can't really tell where the LEDs are so as its doing a nice effect across there you don't like to see oh there's an LED and there's an LED it's just sort of a nice fluid motion of course you're going to have the Corsair software available for these which is insanely powerful and what you can do is when it comes to configurations and stuff and they have community members who have dropped in a profile so you can load up and that kind of thing which is really cool they've taken the G keys over here the macro keys and they've narrowed it down to just a single row which is a little bit simpler and those do have texture on them so you can feel if you're touching those or touching the keys next to them this one is using cherry MX speeds which is which Corsair recently just this past year and I believe they're going to have him in other varieties as well but you know the speed switches are unique to Corsair right now from cherry so they're trying to push those as much as possible it's got the features that you already had and still wants like your media controls in the top right and it's got a nice feature for the rest wrist rest which is this little magnetic piece right here so if you like a little bit more texture you can flip it to one side feel like a little bit more smooth flip it to the other and a magnet just holds it in place so you can easily change your wrist rest up the final thing is that it's got eight megabytes of internal memory so of course any of the profiles that you save you can save internally even if they're more complex ones like RGB profiles and then you have three internal profiles you can switch between using that button on the top left so you don't need the Corsair software installed if you take this keyboard and use it on a different computer something like that this keyboard is supposed to come out in q1 I believe in that means should be in the next month or two and I'm supposed to get one and do a review on it so you should be seeing a little bit more coverage on this in the near future but that's all we have here from the Corsair suite except one last thing I wanted to show you which is just some soft shots of this pink system that they built which is diva themed which made me think I needed to steal it and give it to my wife because she really likes to play diva is a really cool build I mean you don't see pink builds too often it's water cooled inside everything is custom doubt there's diva logos everywhere I just thought it was pretty badass and they ship this over from Taiwan so it did get a little messed up during shipping but fortunately it's still working even though they had to clean up the pink fluid inside the spill that's all from Corsair guys so thanks again for watching my CES 2017 coverage as always leaving comments in the comment
