Here we have the new ML140 RGB Elite, these have operational speeds of 450 RPM to 2,000 RPM (120mm) and 400 RPM to 1,600 RPM (140mm). Eight ARGB LEDs help add some flair to the cooling fans. fans. You obviously get two of these, all PWM-based as stated. The ML series is short for magnetic levitation; at low RPM, these fans offer quite a bit of airflow while that low RPM offers low noise. Once they pass ~1300 RPM, it's quite the opposite, though. These RGB fans have 8x LEDs each, individually programmable. At 12v, the ML fans are noisy as heck, but the rating on these fans is insane as they can move so much air, even at low RPM, and that is what we are after; low noise levels offering good cooling performance. You can select multiple preset modes ranging from silent to performance in the software as well as a zero RPM mode, which deactivates the fans up-to a coolant temperature of 40 Degrees C. The default (balanced) configuration keeps things rather silent. We'll show you all that in the software overview, though.

When we flip it around, we see the radiator a little better. Easy to mount, most big-tower chassis have pre-fitted holes and space for 240/280/360/420mm rads these days. The unit actually measures 360x 120mm x 27mm.

Here we have the cooling block. Being an I series (iCUE compatible) cooler, there was typical quite a bit of cabling tied to the unit. However, that has been revised. Just one cable leads to the HUB (NODE) and one cable to the motherboard (pump RPM). In addition to the pump head, the iCue Elite LCD coolers are equipped with a 2.1-inch IPS LCD screen for easy viewing. The screen has a resolution of 480 × 480 pixels and a refresh rate of 30 frames per second. It can be used as a valuable dashboard for displaying the health of your computer system. You can, however, personalize it to your satisfaction by including a one-of-a-kind animation or your favorite meme.

When we flip the CPU cooling block/pump around, we see an all copper base, with TIM (thermal grease) already applied for you. Not exactly a mirror / lapped finish through the performance is good, as you'll find out soon enough.

The block also includes an LED ring with up to 24 ARGB LEDs, which can be controlled using the Corsair iCue software included with the display. If you already own an iCue Elite Capellix coolers, you may upgrade the LCD display of your CPU cooler with the iCue Elite CPU cooler LCD display upgrade kit, which costs $99.99.

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 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.
