Corsair: Stop GPU Abuse

Published by Hilbert Hagedoorn 23

PC Gaming company Corsair just posted a funny viral video, asking you to donate a coin or two.

You'd almost shed a tear when the girl in the video (that's Tracie Hearne, the Community Manager at Corsair) gently starts petting the graphics card with that soft piano music.
