  1. I don't think they can keep this up forever, the market for people that are willing to pay this amount for a new computer is already small. There are only so many new people in this market that you can sell to before you run out and need return customers. As someone who mainly games on consoles since most of my friends are on it, I can tell you the number one reason why my console friends don't have a pc, it's because it is too expensive. The majority of console people will not be spending 5x as much as a PS5 for a Corsair One. In fact I already mentioned the Corsair One to some of my friends when looking at pc's and they mentioned it was too expensive and when they found out you can't upgrade it later on in a few years, they thought I was crazy and why I would not just build one myself like they are doing.
  2. Good Afternoon All, I wanted to address a something with Corsair One's that I think many people will come to the realization of and something that Corsair should look to changing their system design around. I bought the original Corsair one when it came out because it was a well put together machine in a clean box without flashy lights blazing from it. I still have it and love it. But the problem is I won't be buying another Corsair One because every time I want a upgrade my GPU, I would have to buy a whole new Corsair One. So I realized I have to go back to the DIY Option. I think many buyers will eventually realize this and move back to going DIY. I say this in hopes that someone at Corsair reads this and understands that this will cause them to not have any return buyers and for the eventual market share of people who would buy a Corsair One to go down. I understand that selling a whole new system makes more money for Corsair but I think you won't have many return customers. People will start start realizing that they cannot upgrade their GPU whenever they want unless they buy a whole new Corsair One. I have friends that are trying to move from Consoles to PC and while I thought about recommending the Corsair One, I knew it would be bad idea once they found out that you cannot upgrade it and that they would just have to buy a whole new pc to upgrade it and that is not in their budget. I decided to write this post because I had the same feeling for a while now and saw some others post similar feelings. So I figured, hey maybe I am not the only one that feels this way. Below is a comment with similar feelings: "If Corsair would ever provide "GPU upgrade kit" for i160, I would definitely buy one. Machine is itself is very solid. If Not, I guess I will probably switch back to DIY path, no point to buy full new machine, just to upgrade GPU." Link to Comment What is everyone's thoughts on this? Any other previous buyers have similar thoughts as this?
  3. Is it possible for one of the moderators to rename the title to "Corsair One Tips and Troubleshooting" Since we cannot change titles.
  4. Hello all, I recently got a Corsair One Pro(1080GTX version) and wanted to start a thread that might have useful information that others can use. In the below steps, I suggest getting your updates first before changing any settings because some updates might revert any settings you might have done before installing them. First Things: 1. Get the latest nvidia drivers for the 1080 or 1070 depending on which on you have: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx 2.Get the latest drivers with MSI Live Update. (If you are trying to find the default folder where these are saved C:\MSI you will have to change the folder view settings to show hidden files/folders. 3.Run a windows update to get the latest patches. My Own Personal Recommendations: The below applies to connecting through HDMI, I do not know what people connecting with DVI see under the same options. In the Nvidia Control Panel under [display-->change resolution] scroll down and check to see if you have a setting called Output Dynamic Range. Change that from Limited to Full and press apply(to make sure your monitor can support it). If you don't see the connection there, check under [Video-->Adjust video color Settings] and set it to Full. If your screen blacks out after pressing apply. Just turn off the computer and turn back on, your monitor may not support Full. Note that installing a new version of the Nvidia Driver resets these options so you will have to go change them again. Frequently Asked Questions: 1.My display shows nothing when I try turning on the computer. Enter the BIOS and set the PCI Express to "Gen 2". Note that if this fixes the issue, you should still contact Corsair to make sure your computer was not part of a recall batch. 2.Why can't I wake up my computer from sleep with my USB mouse/keyboard? Go to the Bios by pressing the delete key when starting up the computer. From there, find the "Resume by USB" and enable it. 3. The computer will not boot. A lot of things can be the cause of a computer not booting but below are some things to try: Turn off secure boot in the bios under Settings->advanced->os management->secure boot. And turn it to disabled. Another thing to try if no image comes up on your display might be trying the hdmi port in front of the computer since it is native. If the above two do not work, try unplugging the computer and pressing the Clear CMOS button on the back of the computer for 10 seconds. (Note that this resets all bios settings to default)(So if you disabled secure boot like mentioned in instructions above, it will be turned back on when doing this) 4. Will reinstalling Windows 10 void my warranty and also will Windows 10 automatically activate? No your warranty will not be voided by reinstalling Windows 10. Corsair One has a key in the firmware for Windows 10 Home Edition, so it will automatically activate without having to type in a key. Other Windows 10 Editions will work but you will have to buy a key to activate it yourself. Also make sure to download and install "Corsair Link for ONE" after reinstalling Windows 10. This is a needed software to make sure your system does not overheat(it adjusts the fan speed based on how hot the system gets.) This and other downloads for Corsair One can be found here: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/downloads Under category select Corsair One.
