Specifications and features

So, the Carbide Air 740 will be listed at an MSRP of $149 and a number close to that in EUR. You'll spot it in the stores for, give or take, a tenner lower than in the initial launch wave. Here's a quick spec and features overview after which we'll immediately dive into the product showcase. The Carbide Series Air 740 is an evolution of the Air 540. The Air 740 takes everything that made the Air 540 great; dual-chamber layout, Direct Airflow Path, and multiple air or liquid cooling options... and makes it better.

Dual-chamber Direct Airflow Path design: utilizes dual chambers to deliver cooler air to your CPU, graphics cards, motherboard, memory, and other PCI-E components without your drives or power supply getting in the way
Industrial-style ergonomics and space-saving internal design: offers massive internal volume by moving the power supply, SSD and optical drives into a separate chamber
Includes custom Air Series AF140L intake and exhaust fans: based on the award-winning AF140, the included fans provide great airflow performance at lower noise levels than typical case fans
Expansion room: for up to eight 120mm or seven 140mm fans, a 240mm or 280mm top radiator, and a 240mm, 280mm, or 360mm radiator on the front panel

Highlighted Features

Front 2x 140mm fan (included): With mounts for 3 x 120mm fans or 2 x 140mm fans, the front can support a 240, 280, or 360mm radiator
Bottom 240/2800mm fan mounts: The bottom of the case can house 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans with room for 240mm/280mm radiators
Top 240/280mm fan mounts: The top of the case can house 2 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm fans with room for 240mm/280mm radiators
Rear 140mm fan and eight expansion slots: An included 140mm rear fan and eight rear expansion slots, all vented, allow expansion and airflow exhaust
Up to 370mm clearance for GPUs, 170mm for CPU coolers, and 225mm for PSU: Maximum capacity for cooling all PC components
Four tool-free 2.5” SSD mounts: Easily add or remove 2.5” drives
Three tool-free 3.5” drive mounts in a modular drive cage: Moved into the secondary chamber for easy cable routing
Plentiful cable routing cutouts and tie downs: To keep your system neat and tidy

The Carbide Series Air 740 features a dual-chamber direct airflow path design that allows for no obstruction between fans and the components requiring cooling. Whether with traditional air cooling or superior liquid cooling the options are almost endless with mounts for up to 8 fans inside the chassis.

Corsair HS65 Wireless Headset review
Headsets are one of the types of peripherals that Corsair offers (there are also PC components, but that’s not a story for this review). It ranges from 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. The HS series starts with HS35, and till now, it also contained HS45, HS50, HS55, HS60, HS65, HS70, HS75, and HS80 (some of them had different, wireless variants). We’re checking out the all-new Corsair HS65 Wireless in this review (today is the debut).

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.
