this I'm done I'm getting a Corsair 1 after 22 years of being in the hardware game Corsair have decided to release an all-in-one PC fittingly named the one and today I'm going to be breaking this thing down testing it a both stock and overclock settings and telling you guys if it's worth your money welcome back to tech yes City this is your storable collectible and disposable yes-man coming to you guys today with a review of the Corsair 1 which comes in at 1800 USD and you get a gtx 1070 air-cooled version 240 GB SSD one terabyte hard drive or you can step it up for 2200 USD and get a gtx 1080 liquid-cooled 480 gigabyte SSD and 2 terabyte hard drive and if you're in australia the two different models will set you back either 2600 ad or 3150 AUD respectively the model I have here today is the GTX 1080 liquid-cooled version with the 7700 K and with that said I'm going to roll some benchmarks in some games at 1080p and 4k settings for you guys as you can see in those benchmarks the Corsair one is no joke this thing performed extremely well and also does so with having a very compact and small footprint to be exact it's 380 millimeters tall 200 millimeters long and 177 millimeters wide and also has an all-metal construction on the body and weighs in at 7.2 kilograms the fan on the top can also be detached and is a magnetic levitation or fan which spins pretty low and is also very quiet and exhausts all the air at the top of the case I'll let you guys have a listen to how quiet this thing is and also show you the temperatures while I was playing mafia 3 which is a very power intensive game actually the most power intensive game I've tested to date so with those impressive performance figures that did all that with only using 265 watts from the wall so this also has included a 400 watt gold rated SFX power supply which is a small form-factor power play and it does a great job if you want to overclock your graphics card I managed to get an extra two hundred and forty mega Hertz on the core and also quite a sizable overclock on the memory this led to a really good increase in both synthetic and gaming performance when I was doing the tests the CPU on the other hand is they catch 22 where as opposed to the GPU which didn't even go over 60 degrees which is very impressive considering the size of this case the CPU came close to throttling at 4.5 gigahertz which is the out-of-the-box clock settings for the 7700 K now as you guys may or may not know this is a problem with the CPU itself and not the radiators that are included in the Corsair one and after I deleted this CPU I literally got a 30 degree temperature drop and I was managed to overclock this thing to 5 gigahertz now so I got way better overclock and a huge temperature drop so the Corsairs 240 millimeter radiators on both sides of the case are doing a great job of cooling both the CPU and the GPU however this is where the catch-22 comes into play because if you do delayed your 7700 K in the Corsair 1 then you will unfortunately void your warranty and to be honest you actually don't really need to overclock the CPU as it will handle the GTX 1080 at 4.5 gigahertz perfectly fine however it is one of those things that I like to do personally as an enthusiast though taking a closer look inside the Corsair one there's two 8 gigabyte sticks of ddr4 Vengeance memory which total 16 gigabytes and you can upgrade this however if you do upgrade this you will have to remove the previous two sticks and ddr4 memory is quite expensive at the moment this stuff comes clocked in at 2400 mega Hertz however I was able to overclock it to 29:33 effective so it is a pretty decent overclock and you will get performance benefits if you decide to overclock the memory which just like the GPU will actually not void your warranty if you decide overclock though on that note of overclocking the GPU and the motherboard used Corsair one up from MSI and in the bias with MSI if you guys are familiar with their own biases they're exactly the same as the one implemented in the one so you will be able to get in there and overclock and it is very easy to use and there are settings that will enable you to overclock the CPU and the memory if you wish to though in terms of overclocking the GPU I just prefer to stick with MSI Afterburner and it's very easy to use and will work fine with this graphics card however after closing the Corsair 1 up and taking a look at the inputs and outputs on the rear you get 33.1 USB type a ports 1 USB 3.1 C and 2 USB 2 a ps2 port audio ports which support 5.1 analog and optical out Wi-Fi antennas and also a clear CMOS button there's also a one gigabit per second Ethernet connection one HDMI 2.0 and to display out and at the front of the case there's one HDMI 2.0 apps of VI users and also an additional 3.1 USB type a and looking closer at the front of the case you may also notice that there's too light subtle blue LEDs which is surprising because I thought they would definitely be RGB for sure but they're only light blue and they can be changed by the software in either breathing mode with different intervals or you can leave it on static mode and change the brightness accordingly and moving out of the sides of the case there are many little Zelda Triforce punch outs which allow the radiators to breathe and moving up to the top of the case and on the bottom there's also stick metal fins and at the top of the case you can actually remove the fan which is a 140 millimeter magnetic levitation or fan this is one of the only two fans included in the one the additional fan is also on the GTX 1080 or 1070 that cools the vrm and memory in case of the 1070 it will actually cool the GPU as well so now it's verdict time with the Corsair one and what do I think of it well to be honest with you guys I am really blown away by the one it is a great all-in-one PC especially for a company's first time at doing this I was really shocked I mean Alienware and some other brands could definitely take some tips from course set this thing performed extremely well is extremely small and also made practically no noise while doing that and you can even get no noise whilst you're overclocking your GPU and memory the CPU however that's not course as fault that's more intel's fault and you have to deal it though I'd seriously recommend not deleting it as the Corsair one includes a two-year warranty which is comprehensive and I believe is worldwide so if you have a problem with anything in your Corsair one you can take it back to Corsair and they'll fix it for you no problem you also get Windows 10 64 bit Home Edition included and now if you were to go build something similar in specs to the Corsair one you could definitely save a few hundred bucks that's no surprise to do-it-yourself builders however with the Corsair one you do get that comprehensive warranty which is two years and covers everything and you also get that kicker small form-factor all-metal construction so for the intended market that's people who just want a hassle-free PC that performs extremely well enthusiastic levels then the Corsair what is definitely a solid product and I can recommend especially for people who want to come from console to destiny to for example on the PC I could see myself recommending this to a lot of people who just don't want to build a PC and want something that's just ready to go and will kick ass in games anyway guys I hope you enjoyed today's review if you did - be sure to hit that like button and let me know in the comments section below do you like the Corsair one if so what do you like about it if not what don't you like about it love reading your comments as always and I'll catch you in another tech video very soon peace out for now bye you [Laughter]
