Product showcase – interior

The Corsair ICUE 465X RGB is equipped with three 120 mm fans in the front. You can install up to three 120 mm or two 140 mm fans total. This amount of space is sufficient to fit even a 360 mm radiator (according to the manufacturer).

There is also a removable fan filter.

As you can see, the cut-out in the PSU shroud is almost 65 mm across, so you can mount standard AIO radiators (with fans that are typically 25 mm thick) in the front of the case.

The backside of the Corsair chassis is clean, and it should be relatively easy to route all the cables properly in there, especially that the cable pass-throughs with rubber grommets are slightly angled, so you’ll have a bit more space on the backside of this area.

Clearance varies depending on where you measure it. It’s in a range between 15 and 20 mm, and the latter value is reasonable, but not outstanding.

The standard cables include USB 3.0 and front panel connections (with HD audio). The cabling is black, which improves the aesthetics of the whole package.

At the front, you can see that the amount of space available for sucking in air is about 2.5 cm, which should be fine (but we’ll check that later). Last, but not least, the provided fan/RGB controller.

It’s a simplified version of the Corsair Commander controller, and you can check its features below. Connection diagram:

The fans must be connected in a parallel setup (1→6). Otherwise, the lighting effects will not work properly, if at all.
There are two mounting locations in the back of the case, and the device can be easily removed and installed in the other location with the included screws.

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.
