vI WANT to Recommend This... Corsair One (2019) Review #Helpful Post

the Corsair one gaming system is

basically like the pistol and halo

combat Evolved it's small and

understated and totally overpowered now

you might be thinking okay Linus yeah

the one was pretty cool when it came out

two years ago but what is it done for me

lately how does it merit a reira view

well since you asked although these two

look very similar on the outside the

internals had actually gotten a complete

overhaul this one is rocking a

liquid-cooled core I $9.99 hundred K and

a liquid-cooled r-tx 2080 ti so let's

find out how Corsair did that after I

totally derail everything to tell you

about today's sponsor glass wire glass

before we go any further I need to talk

about one area where Corsair totally

dropped the ball here see the fins here

on the original model they are slightly

above the fan grill meaning that when

you stroke them the one sings you this

wonderful little tune as for the new one

hold a ruined but seriously the build

quality and design on display here is

still fantastic every single part of it

just feels so solid and in my opinion

this machine just doesn't have a bad

side it looks great in basically any

situation from a professional studio

where desk space is at a premium to the

computer room of a well-off gamer where

the addition of RGB lighting is sure to

impress children of all ages now unless

you have a particularly keen eye the old

one and the new one which we'll be

calling the deuce from now on to avoid

confusion

look nearly identical the front i/o has

been moved down and expanded the

headphone jack here is a very welcome

addition and the side actually has a bit

of additional venting cut into it but

really that's about it for now getting

around to the back ah ok so now we're

getting somewhere

the motherboard is clearly in a

different place and it looks like the

position of the power supply has also

changed so let's dive in then and figure

out exactly what's going on here so

pressing this button on the back allows

us to remove the fan from the top that's

the one right so pressing this button on

the back so how are you doing this

so pressing this button on the back

allows us to remove the fan from the top

here you can see it's there yeah now

it's unplugged it's a hundred and forty

millimeters and takes care of the

majority of the cooling pulling air in

through the radiators that you can

actually see on either side here and

then exhausting it right up the top in

our testing this results in nearly

silent operation in many situations and

even under full load the deuce is

shockingly quiet with the two and a half

inch hard drive and the quiet water pump

competing to be an allow de store more

like least quiet component removing

these four screws then that's a marker

thought I have my screwdriver in my

pocket I don't removing these four

screws then allows our sides to slide

down so here here here and here this

gives us basically unfettered access to

the guts so with it open we can see that

there are two distinct thermal zones so

this radiator on this side provides up

to three hundred watts of cooling power

for our GPU and then this one over here

which is actually a little bit smaller

gives us about a hundred and sixty-five

watts for the CPU now this dual zone

design isn't new but courser has

actually flipped around which side the

components are on and one benefit of

that change is massively better cable

management like let's start by looking

at the GPU here I love how they were

able to get all of the cabling along the

edge over here see this it's all tucked

in there nicely rather than just

sprawling everything across the

components and as for the motherboard

huh you can see the improvement on the

motherboard side immediately because you

can see the motherboard at all and the

tubing to the radiators has also bench

which is a surprisingly important

improvement for anyone that might want

to upgrade this machine in the future in

the past when you were putting the one

back together it was really easily to

accidentally kink the tubing completely

cutting off cooling to one of the sides

not very user-friendly moving back to

the GPU we can actually see here that

the water block is only responsible for

cooling the GPUs core with v RM and

power management being taken care of by

this actively cooled heatsink this is

actually not the first time I've seen a

design like this there were some older

they were called uni sinks back when

detectors did it and you were expected

to kind of like duct-tape a fan to it

there was like no official way to do it

but it works really really well and

there are a couple of reasons for that

one it focuses all your cooling power on

the GPU itself where there's actually a

performance benefit to be gained and

theoretically if you're a true

enthusiast it's possible you'd be able

to take it and then transplant it onto a

future RTX 9000 or whatever the case may

be as long as you could figure out some

way to deal with the memory and the VRMs

now we can't say for sure how easy

that's going to be but we do know that

compared to a full cover block that is

specific to the card there's a better

chance you'd be able to reuse some of

your components well we can also say for

sure is that we got some outstanding

cooling results out of this setup here

in 3d mark the deuce was expectedly

within our margin of error for

performance compared to an air-cooled

card with the temperatures leveling off

in the high 70s after 45 minutes of

gaming so what that means is that you

might not have a massive amount of

headroom for overclocking or anything

but it also means that you can expect

full boost clocks indefinitely while

your system remains quieter than

basically any air-cooled card let alone

an air-cooled card in a tiny chassis

like this moving over to the other side

I just I feel like I have to bring this

up again how impressive the improvements

in cable routing are compared to the old

model

routine upgrades will be significantly

easier this time around there's not a

ton that you can upgrade out-of-the-box

since our config is already loaded for

bear

both RAM slots are populated for a total

of 32 gigs the single to a half inch

drive day is occupied by a 2 terabyte

hard drive and the 480 gig m2 SSD is

located on the back of the motherboard

which is probably actually easier to

access by pulling off the graphics card

but the really interesting thing over

here is the CPU radiator which is

actually smaller compared to the

outgoing model this allows the compact

600 watt power supply to pull in fresh

air from the outside rather than

recycled warm air from inside the system

so that means that it can actually

operate much more efficiently

which contributes to the overall

quietness of our machine and then back

to the size here Corsair claims that

they actually managed to increase the

cooling capacity since the new layout

has a smaller rad but one that allows

more air to be pulled through it so

let's see how that works out for them

actually looks like it's pretty well so

our core I 999 hundred K stayed right at

a blistering 4.7 gigahertz and games

even after giving it plenty of time to

heat up the coolant and our temperatures

managed to hold comfortably around the

mid 70s under a full synthetic load you

will end up sacrificing some clock speed

dropping down to about 3.8 gigahertz on

all eight cores but that's actually what

we expect from the CPU when Intel's

power draw specifications are followed

and it is an absolute beast so once

again in the spec view perf productivity

test the deuce throws up numbers that

are nearly identical to what we saw from

our open air test bench with the only

real downer for productivity being the

lack of an option for 10 Gigabit

Ethernet which if for being honest is a

must-have for professionals that are

working with large heavy files like the

8k red footage that we deal with around

here overall though

the story remains the same the course r1

is able to give you the performance of a

top-of-the-line gaming system in a

compact package while somehow managing

to remain quiet cool and sexy but of

course with great design comes great

cost and that really is the biggest

downside of the deuce which starts at

three thousand dollars for the i-140

with the better equipped I 160 that

we've got here

weighing in at an eye-watering

thirty-six hundred US dollars so let's

put it aside for a second and change the

subject a little bit this is the MS I

tried index it isn't liquid-cooled the

build quality is fine but not

exceptional

it's bigger it gets a bit louder under

load and it has half the RAM but it also

reaches a similar level of gaming

performance and costs one thousand US

dollars less and it gets worse for the

one in Corsair zone lineup you'll find

the Vengeance gaming PC that we reviewed

recently now it does step the

performance down a touch but you still

get a two-year warranty and you save it

$600 not to mention that there's better

upgrade ability and that's ignoring the

option of building your own PC which I

guess puts me in sort of an awkward

position doesn't it because the deuce

gives me like a great big nerd rection

and I think a world where everybody had

one of these would be a better world and

Corsair deserves that stacks of cash for

the engineering work not to mention the

design work that has gone on here it's

just that at this price you do need to

have some serious disposable income to

drop on your dues speaking of disposable

income you don't need a lot of it for
