We will now start the phase where we will be assembling the kit for installation. First, we mount the fans towards the radiator, four screws each, and remember the corsair sticker points downwards in your PC case.

Once done, you need to decide where you'll be positioning your radiator and how the tubing and wiring will be managed. The two fans have connectors connected to the included HUB—the same for the RGB connectors, leading to the HUB. The included commander is crucial here because it now provides much nicer cable routing as you can tuck the commander (communication and power HUB) away.

So here we can see that happening. Basically, one wire leads towards the Commander unit from the CPU block, which you plug in. All FAN PWM and RGB cables you hook in here as well. Then one SATA cable powers it up. The advantage is that you can now tuck away the HUIB and cables out of eye-sight. That and you can control up to six RGB and/or FANs with the unit as well. Noice!

I am going to take a quick detour here on the faceplate, look at the photo above please, dark themed right?

You'll have the option to swap it out for a transparent one. Under the faceplate sits a snow-white piece of Plexi, light bounces of white the best ergo for a bit more RGB effect you can install that Transparant faceplate.

The effect will be a completely different looking cooler, and the good news is that the faceplate is included to you have this as an optional choice. It's just the removal of the four screws and but on the new one. Done.

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.
