For this piece of the blog I am going to be covering the different types of Corsair Hardware which the company creates and that covers anything from RAM, CPU cooling to even snazzy looking cases to house all of your computer components.

I'm going to cover just a few of the wide variety of products which Corsair produce and sell to further benefit your computing and gaming experiences.

RAM

Corsair RAM Varieties

Corsair make an abundance of different high performance RAM, RAM if you did not already know stands for Random Access Memory, they make it in a variety of different colours, either in the form of DDR3 or DDR3L, DDR standing for Double Data Rate 3 and the L stands for Low voltage so it uses less power than normal RAM.

I'm going to be taking you through some of the wide variety of RAM that Corsair provide and the quantities of RAM that you can get.

"The worlds most advanced DDR4 memory modules" according to Corsair themselves the DOMINATOR Platinum series provides ultra fast gaming performance when it comes to handling the most intense games out there in the video games industry.

The VENGEANCE LPX high performance RAM is capable of sustaining and handling the very best in the gaming industry. This RAM is designed for automatic overclocking to give your games and more importantly your system that boost when handling some pretty RAM hungry programs so to speak.

The XMS mainstream RAM is capable of running on almost any PC that you can think of and has really high performance. The RAM is compatible with motherboards which have standard DDR3 memory sockets.

Corsair doesn't just cater for bulky desktop PC's they also cater for laptops and or notebooks if you wish to have a powerful but portable gaming rig. The VENGEANCE memory upgrades can turn your slow laptop purely built for work into a gaming machine almost capable of anything.

Cases

Graphite Series 780T Case - White

Corsair specialize in making a wide variety of tower cases for your PC builds and they all are each unique and have very sleek designs to suit just about anybody. I'm going to take you through just a few of the cases that Corsair provide.

This Graphite Series 780T Case that you can see to the right of this paragraph is just one of many case that corsair create. This smooth and sleek looking case features like a latched side panel meaning you are able to access the inside of the computer easily without having to mess around with any screws. This case has plenty of room and multiple 140mm fan slots for taking in air and pushing hot air out of the system so the components inside the case will be very cooled and prevent over heating. This case comes with 4 USB ports which would be plenty for all your gaming peripherals.

The Carbide Series MicroATX Gaming case is a rather small case however the size does not limit what this case can deliver this case is built for high airflow so this will defiantly keep all your high performance components nice and cool. Because this case is rather small it can fit just about anywhere and in minimal space instead of having a massive case taking up what could be valuable space. Much like the aforementioned Graphite Series case this case is built for easy access as it has thumbscrews which can be unscrewed quickly without a screwdriver and the side panel has a nice window in which you can see all your glorious components.

Graphics Cards

Hydro GFX Liquid Cooled Graphics Card

The cooling card you see before you to the right of this paragraph is the "All-in-one GPU liquid cooled graphics card from MSI and Corsair". The GPU uses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti with 6GB of memory and enough cores within the card to handle 4K resolution gaming.

The graphics card has a two stage cooling system. The first stage being water cooling for the GTX 980 Ti GPU which could cool the GPU by up to 45° C. The second cooling stage is air cooling from a low noise fan making the process near silent. The graphics card is not only near silent but also really efficient and reliable and will never over heat.
