Corsair iCUE 7000X RGB PC chassis review -

Product Showcase - Interior
Let's have a look at the interior. You will notice that the design is a bit different. You can install SSD/HDDs on the backside and optionally four SSD at the rear. There is plenty of reach and space to access the motherboard, and you can fit big components. The 7000X supports graphic cards up to 450mm in length and, for the CPU cooler, up to 190 mm (CPU die surface to side panel). So that is plenty for even an RTX 3090. We'd obviously advise an LCS for this setup.
The top side dust filter is pretty much a rubber meshed mat with magnetic strips in it. Works superbly, really. Looking under the hood you can see there is space enough for up-to 420mm LCS/radiator units.
You'll stumble into 8-PCI slots and then three vertical for vertical mounting of a big phat graphics card. You'd need a riser cable of course. Btw in the rear, you can see a 1x 140mm SP RGB ELITE fan included. In total, you'll thus receive four aRGB compatible fans, all hooked up and preinstalled to the fan/RGB NODE compatible with iCUE.
You can take out the bezel (glass) at the front side and then take out that dust filter to clean her up or access the single fan located at the front side. Here you could mount an up-to 420mm radiator for liquid cooling.
And here the PSU cover, you can mount a power supply of up to 225mm inside, however, that will require the removal of one 3.5" HDD mounting bracket. There are two of these, so you can still install three HDDs then.
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.
