On this page, you’ll find a selection of photos of the finished build inside the Corsair Carbide 678C. The GPU that we used here has an AIO LCS, and the CPU is cooled (for measurements) either with air (Thermalright True Spirit 120 Direct) or a liquid cooler placed at the front. Below is an example of how can you arrange/fill the chassis provided by the manufacturer:

For the purpose of this section, the Asus Ryujin 360 was used (placed at the top). The Carbide 678C is targeted more at the liquid cooling market (theoretically you can use up to two 360 mm radiators), but an air cooler should do just fine (more details on the following page). The motherboard is an ATX form factor one (and looks relatively small in this Corsair chassis), based on the Z390 chipset, with a de-lidded i7 8700K @ 4.8 GHz inside. The GPU comes from Aorus, and it’s the Waterforce version (GeForce GTX 1080 Ti). The final effect looks really neat. There were no major issues with installing the components inside. A removable AIO tray at the top would have come in handy. The PSU is not mounted using a removable bracket like in quite many other cases today, so it has to be fixed to the back wall of the chassis. On the left of the “dark side” there’s enough space for cables. It’s a bit different on the right side, where the cut-out for backplate is located (only slightly more than 1 cm can make things tricky with thicker cables). It's a pity that there are no (four) optional plastic covers for the places usually taken by HDD cages.

And now some photos of the test system:

Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 CL36 review
In July, Corsair presented a new series of DDR5 memories: the Vengeance RGB DDR5. The available kits from the RGB edition have a frequency higher than the base 4800 MHz (5200-6600 MHz); the non-RGB version starts from 4800 MHz. We are checking the Corsair Vengeance RGB 6000 MHz CL36 DDR5 kit today. It's in the middle frequency in the series. We already had an opportunity (almost three years ago) to review the Vengeance (Pro) RGB series RAM, but it was for the DDR4; the frequency was 3200 MHz, and it received a "Top Pick" award, and also the Vengeance RGB Pro SL which had 3600 MHz frequency (with CL18) and got the "Approved" award. But let's focus back on the tested DDR5 kit.

Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse review
In this article, we review the Corsair Katar Elite Wireless mouse. It’s an optical gaming mouse that was launched today, on 26.10.2022. The Katar model is a new version of the Katar Pro Wireless that was introduced on October 2020. The Katar Elite Wireless is targeted at gamers, but it should also work more than fine as a regular mouse. This time, the optical sensor is not the 10K DPI PMW3325 but a 26K DPI Corsair Marksman. It has 1 DPI resolutions steps, 650 IPS tracking, and up to 50G acceleration.

Corsair HS55 Wireless Core Headset review
Corsair has a broad range of PC components and peripherals. Among them, headsets are also available, and the range starts from the budget-oriented HS series (the reviewed one is one of them), then there’s the mid-range Void series, and it ends with high-end Virtuoso. Getting back to the HS series, it starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS55 Wireless Core in this review. Its debut is on the 20th of September, 2022.
