We are testing externally but you get the idea here. As mentioned there is a quite a bit of wiring to manage, so I wanted to show you that a little better on this page.

Here you can see that to the left there is a flat cable connected. That's the y-splitter lead for the FANs. To the right is the USB cable being connected to the motherboard (or AXi series LINK compatible PSU). Then there is one more cable that leads to both the mobo CPU fan header and a SATA power connector to get its juice.

The one thing that end-users might dislike definitely is the number of wires leading in and out of the block. It kind of ruins the clean looks a little.

Here you can see that a little better. There's just a lot, maybe too much, going on cables wise. We'll leave that to you to judge though.

Once powered on you'll notice that the Corsair logo lights up with a white LED. Well in fact that is configurable as it's a RGB LED solution.

Based on temperature the coloring can change, you may also simply select a color of preference to you liking with the LINK software.

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.
