In the kit bundle, everything is carefully packed and padded before being bundled safely in the box. So let's take a look inside to see what we'll discover and how much effort we'll have to put in to putting this kit together.

When you open the package, you'll notice the liquid cooling unit, which is comprised of the radiator, fan, tubing, and pump/cooling block, among other components. Of course, the majority of them are pre-assembled and ready to use. Basically, you'll need to install or attach the fans, as well as a bracket to hold the device in place. Nevertheless, because you are visiting Guru3D.com, we will walk you through the full installation procedure over the next few pages.

You'll spot a backplate that supports a wide variety of CPU sockets. Intel LGA 1700, 115x, 1366, 2011, 2066, and AMD AM2, AM3, AM4, FM1, FM2 based processors can be used in combination with this cooler. Lovely to see is support for Threadripper (SP3). Included are:

CORSAIR Elite LCD RGB Liquid CPU Cooler
Mounting kit for all modern CPU sockets
ML Series PWM 140mm RGB high-performance fans (2000rpm)
iCUE Node commander
Fan and radiator mounting screws
Thermal compound (pre-applied)
Quick Start Guide

You'll spot the cooling unit consisting of the radiator assembly, fan, and brackets + backplate that support an extensive range of AMD and Intel processors. A little thermal paste is pre-applied on the cooler for you. I do wish that manufacturers would add a little extra for reserve in a syringe.

Here we have the package showing the radiator unit and block/pump; we'll need to mount the variable PWM ML series fans (3x 120mm). The fans are re-wired onto the included core commander controller. With Corsair's iCUE software, you may regulate it and set up your RPM preferences and, of course, RGB preferences. We'll show that later on in the article.

Here we have the Commander Core RGB/fan hub connected to a USB header on the motherboard and powered by a SATA cable. Here you can hook up to six fans (PWM) and your compatible RGB products, also six. The USB header is needed to communicate with iCUE, of course.

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.
