  • Prepare Your PSU for NVIDIA 30-Series

    By Corsair CJ,

    NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 30-Series cards are their latest, high-performance GPUs and feature all sorts of new technologies and a completely new architecture (codenamed “Ampere”) that promises impressive improvements in gaming and rendering performance, specifically in ray-tracing capable apps. How does this affect my PSU? New graphics cards mean new, better things for gaming. But this time around there’s another interesting change. In addition to being exceptionally cool looking and supporting all new RTX-focused features and performance, the new RTX 30-Series cards up the power requirements over 20-Series significantly with the RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090 rated for 220W, 320W, and 350W for GPU power respectively. Recommended PSU ratings have also been increased this generation, with the RTX 3090 we recommend at least a PSU rated for 850 watts. To accommodate the new power load without just adding more 8-pin PCIe connectors, a new, smaller 12-pin power connector has been introduced on all three of NVIDIA’s brand new RTX 30-Series Founders Edition graphics cards, the GeForce RTX 3070, 3080, and 3090. Standard PCIe power connectors (screenshot from NVIDIA)New 12-pin power connector (screenshot from NVIDIA)<br> While a small adapter is included with each GPU for your existing power supply cables, that adapter converts two dedicated PCIe power cables to the new 12-pin connector per NVIDIA’s recommended configuration. But adapters can be clunky, ugly, and increase resistance, so we’ve taken the extra step and made a much more elegant cable for all our modular PSUs. Our thoroughly tested solution is designed for those that have an eye for cable management and don’t want adapters cluttering up their clean builds. It connects two PCIe / CPU PSU ports directly to the new 12-pin connector. Fully compatible with all Type 3 and Type 4 CORSAIR modular power supplies, our new cable provides a clean direct connection without adding the resistance of a messy-looking adapter. What are the benefits? The new 12-pin connector is roughly the same size as a single industry standard 8-pin PCIe but can provide significantly more power in that same space. This allowed NVIDIA to allocate the space previously used for power connectors to other things, like improved cooling. And with our solution being a complete cable rather than a pigtail-style adapter, it makes it easier for you to get the ball rolling without having to compromise on your pristine cable management. When/Where can I get it? Soon! We’re hard at work making these cables right now, and our goal is to have them available as soon as you can buy your new RTX 30-series card. If you have a modular CORSAIR PSU and want a notification of when the cable is available, click HERE to sign up and we’ll send you an email as soon as they’re ready.

  • Is Your PC Ready for Take Off? Flight Simulator 2020

    By Corsair CJ,

    Is your system ready for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020? If it isn’t or you’re not quite sure, it can be with these helpful tips we’ve put together in addition to a brief overview of our component lineup ranging from SSDs to store large game titles, coolers to keep your CPU at peak performance, and memory kits at different speeds and capacities to help you keep up with increasingly demanding virtual experiences. Let’s take a quick look at the game’s minimum and recommended system requirements:<br> MINIMUM: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 Processor: Intel i5-4460 | AMD Ryzen 3 1200 Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 770 | AMD Radeon RX 570 DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 150 GB available space<br> RECOMMENDED: Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system OS: Windows 10 Processor: Intel i5-8400 | AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 970 | AMD Radeon RX 590 DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 150 GB available space To sum up the system requirements, Flight Simulator 2020 doesn’t exactly require the latest and greatest graphics card which would make sense for a simulator title that’s heavy on CPU-based calculations (though it would be a good idea to have a card with a good amount of VRAM onboard, especially if you want to game at a higher resolution). That said, Microsoft does require a quad-core processor at minimum and the required storage space for all the game assets is considerable.<br> Performance Flight Simulator 2020 is an experience clearly built with next generation hardware (and current generation PCs) in mind. Sim titles tend to rely heavily on raw CPU resources where core count and core clock are king. Flight Simulator 2020 will make use of all the threads it can get and in this instance we see considerable thread usage across all available threads on our test system’s 1920X, however a few threads seemed to be doing more of the work, indicating that a higher all-core clockspeed would potentially see higher performance in-game. Storage Adding an SSD to your system is a relatively simple upgrade and with the latest Flight Simulator title requiring 150 GB of space for installation, you might want to consider picking up any of our SSDs in the 480GB – 2TB range to help with load times (especially if you’re still relying on a mechanical hard drive). Cooling To keep your processor from thermal throttling and maintain all-core boost clocks or manual overclocks, consider using one of our all-in-one liquid coolers like the H150i or jump into a fully custom liquid cooling system with our Hydro X Series of custom cooling components (which can also help you pin your GPU at its boost clocks as well for more GPU-focused titles). Memory Microsoft recommends 16GB of RAM for Flight Simulator which our friends over at Guru3D have confirmed through their own testing. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Performance w/16GB/32GB/64GB DRAM courtesy of Guru3D.com (https://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/microsoft_flight_simulator_(2020)_pc_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,5.html)<br> Of course, if you intend on streaming your flights, you might want to consider upgrading to a 32GB kit depending on your streaming/recording setup (or build a dedicated streaming machine with a capture card). That said, total available RAM isn’t the whole picture, RAM speed for CPU-bound titles such as Flight Simulator can see a noticeable bump in performance at higher speeds, especially if you’re using a Ryzen processor (pro-tip: aim for 3200MHz- 3600MHz if you’re on Ryzen 2000 or newer). Final Thoughts Games are more demanding than ever and Flight Simulator 2020 is no exception, raising the bar for performance in nearly every metric. No matter if you’re a novice builder just needing a quick upgrade or you’re building a completely new system to power your sim rig, our products are ready to help you get the most performance out of your system and our awesome community on Reddit, Discord, and our own User Forums can help you get the info you need!

    By Corsair CJ,

    The CORSAIR iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Tower Starter Kit provides everything you need to illuminate your desk with diffused ambient lighting that synchronizes with your system, games and media. What’s in the Box? Included with the LT100 Starter Kit are two lighting towers (one main tower with a multi-function control button and a secondary tower), an external power supply, a 1.5m RGB cable, a micro USB cable and a headset holder. Main Tower (with button) Tower (without button) Wall AC Power Adapter 1.5m RGB Cable Micro-USB Cable Headset Holder Expansion kits include a single expansion tower and a single y-cable that allows you to daisy chain expansion towers to the main tower. The Setup The starter kit and the expansion kits all the necessary cables to connect up to four LT100 towers together that can be arranged on your desk! You can also install the light bars into the base of each tower in either forward-facing or rear-facing orientation if you want the light to shine directly at you or at your wall. The starter kit uses a single, straight RGB cable to connect the main tower to the other tower in the kit. Expansion kits include a single Y-adapter cable that allows you to daisy chain towers to the main tower, ending with the straight RGB cable to add the last tower.If you connect additional towers from an expansion kit, press and hold the multi-function button on the main tower for 5 seconds to run LED detection. No Software Necessary! The LT100 Starter Kit can operate without software using the multi-function button on the main lighting tower. A total of 11 preset lighting profiles are included and you can cycle through them (while iCUE isn’t running or the USB cable is not connected) by pressing the multi-function button on the main LT100  tower for 2 seconds. The LEDs on the base of the main lighting tower will blink blue to confirm. The main lighting tower included in the starter kit features a multi-function button that can be used to control lighting presets, LED detection and toggle lighting on or off.Here’s a quick list of lighting effects you can access in hardware mode: Super X (Demo mode that cycles through a preset list of lighting effects) Color Shift Color Pulse Color Wave Static Temperature Sequential Marquee Rainbow Strobing Visor If you need to shut the lights off, just press the multi-function on the main tower briefly and it’ll toggle lighting on or off. But If You Want to Use iCUE… Using the latest version of iCUE, you can control your LT100 by connecting the provided USB cable to your PC, enabling a wide variety of preset, custom and ambient lighting modes! When setting up your LT100 in iCUE, swing by the “Lighting Setup” tab, run LED detection to ensure your LT100 towers are detected properly and arrange your LT100 towers by dragging and dropping them on screen to the appropriate position based on your actual desk setup. The “Lighting Setup” tab allows you to arrange the order of your LT100 towers in software as well as run LED detection if you’ve added expansion towers.A quick pro-tip for channel-wide effects like sequential or visor, got to “Lighting Effects” and apply a a quick sequential effect then go back to “Lighting Setup”, click and drag the lighting towers in the preview until the towers light up in the desired sequence on your desk! Ambient Lighting Enabled! Like our LS100 Smart Lighting Strip Starter Kit, ambient video lighting mode is available to the LT100. New with the LT100, you can assign a specific display to capture and customize the screen area captured by each lighting tower by using the controls to precisely match specific areas on your screen. Toggle “custom screen capture” and use the preview on the right hand side to customize your LT100 tower capture area for video lighting mode.When setting up video lighting mode, try using a vibrant background image with a spectrum of colors across the screen like the CORSAIR wallpaper below or use some kind of static test pattern to make video mode configuration easier. Wallpapers with a lot of variety across different parts of the image help to make video lighting setup quick and easy!You can also set your LT100’s hardware lighting behavior. Go to the “Hardware Lighting” section and set a static color effect with RGB values all set to 0 (black). This will make your LT100 towers turn off automatically when you lock or power off your PC rather than having to press the multi-function button to disable lighting after your PC has been locked or powered off. Conclusion And that’s it! The CORSAIR iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Tower Starter Kit is a fantastic lighting accessory for your gaming or media setup.

  • Importing Custom Game Profiles in iCUE (DOOM Edition)

    By Corsair CJ,

    The 2016 reboot of DOOM was awesome and the next entry, DOOM Eternal looks to be even better! To celebrate the launch of another hardcore FPS, we’ve got an updated custom DOOM lighting profile courtesy of RGB wizard, Lewis Gerschwitz. You can download the profile here. But what next? iCUE can import and export custom profiles, they can serve as a backup of your home setup’s lighting and performance, but they can also be shared with the community! A few repositories exist for this very reason, but let’s go ahead and dive into how to import and setup a custom profile you’ve downloaded, using the newly updated DOOM profile as an example! To import a profile into iCUE, start by expanding the profile options tray and clicking on the import/export button (arrows going left/right). iCUE will now display profile import/export options in the main window. Click the browse button (the button marked “…”) to open a new window and browse to the profile you wish to import. In this case, we’ll select the DOOM profile. Click open then select what parts of the profile you’d like to import, if this were a backup of a profile you used for your home setup, you’d want to import everything, but since we’re only interested in the lighting effects, uncheck all the boxes except for the “Lighting Effects” box. Click import and iCUE will proceed with the import process. Okay cool, we’ve successfully imported the profile… but did you know that you could have iCUE automatically switch to a custom profile when you start up a game? Click the browse button marked “…” next to the box for “Link profile to program”. A new window will open and you can browse to the executable for your game. We’ll use DOOM 2016 as an example, but this also applies to DOOM Eternal or any other game/program you’re linking the profile to (file names and location will be different of course). If you’re confused as to which executable is the right one to link the profile to (some games use multiple .exe files), launch the game and ALT+TAB out so you see your desktop. Start up task manager and find your game in the list of processes, expand and you should be able to see which executable is used to run the game. Now that you’ve linked the profile to the game, you’ll want to go in and tweak settings for your hardware, if you’ve got a Commander PRO or any of our other iCUE-enabled products, you should take this opportunity to set up fan curves, DPI, and remaps that’ll apply when iCUE switches over to this profile when you launch the game! Alright, the important bits are covered, but don’t forget you can also set a custom background and icon for this profile too. Download whatever images (or be creative and make your own) that you’d like to use and apply them in the profile settings window. <br> And that’s it! You’ve successfully imported and personalized a custom profile! Now go on and get fragging!

  • iCUE Now Supports ASUS Aura Ready Motherboards

    By Corsair CJ,

    Last month at CES, we announced a partnership with ASUS to bring support for their huge lineup of Aura Ready motherboards to our CORSAIR iCUE software. Along with that announcement, we released a beta version of the plugin for users to give the feature a test drive while we prepared for release. The time has come! The necessary plugin to enable motherboard control is now included with the default installation of iCUE, removing the manual installation process we had in place for the beta period. That said, we still require that ASUS Aura version 1.07.79 or newer be installed on your system for the plugin to work its magic. You can find a download link at ASUS’ support page here: https://www.asus.com/campaign/aura/us/download.html Why are we using a plugin? Well, to put it simply, we use the ASUS Aura SDK to talk to the onboard lighting controller on ASUS Aura Ready motherboards. A plugin is used for maintenance reasons as we aim to keep compatibility with newer versions of Aura (to include future motherboard releases or other products) as they come out. How do I make it work? Excellent question! To enable motherboard lighting control in iCUE, simply install Aura 1.07.79 and update to the latest version of iCUE. Your ASUS motherboard should now show up with the rest of your iCUE-compatible hardware! You’ll be able to apply multiple complex layers of lighting effects and even control devices connected to your motherboard’s 4 wire, 12v analog RGB header (the newer 3 wire, 5v addressable RGB header present on more recent motherboards is not supported currently). Note: Aura needs to be installed since the plugin relies on Aura’s services, but its control panel shouldn’t be actively running when you do this. In the event that you decide that you’d rather not use the plugin, you can disable it by unchecking a box in the iCUE settings panel. The process is really simple, but in case you’d rather see this in video form, we’ve produced this quick setup video to get you up to speed.

  • Introducing the K57 RGB Wireless

    By CORSAIR Technical Marketing,

    A little while back we announced our new K57 RGB Wireless keyboard. The K57 RGB Wireless is a unique entry into the gaming peripheral market due to it being membrane keyboard, using SLIPSTREAM Wireless and CAPELLIX LEDs, two of CORSAIR’s newest technologies. As the first wireless keyboard to utilize SLIPSTREAM Wireless and the first peripheral to use CAPELLIX LEDs, the K57 is a great entry point for anyone seeking a high-performance wireless keyboard with advanced LED technology. The combination of SLIPSTREAM’s incredible speed and CAPELLIX ’s energy savings lends itself to great battery life while increasing performance. With full RGB lighting, users can expect up to 35 hours of battery life, and with no LEDs on, a whopping 175 hours of battery life; that’s over a full week of use! The K57 RGB Wireless began as a wireless version of our popular K55 RGB, but during development, we saw the perfect opportunity to integrate these amazing new technologies. The K57 with CAPELLIX LEDs offers incredible brightness, as well as per-key RGB lighting effects, giving nearly unlimited customizability with our amazing iCUE software.<br> CORSAIR’s SLIPSTREAM technology offers the best performance for wireless devices with sub-1ms response times. Additionally, with intelligent frequency switching, SLIPSTREAM will always keep your devices in the least congested sub-frequencies for reliable and fast performance. Speaking of reliability, there’s no question that LEDs are the best source of illumination. CAPELLIX LEDs take the renowned reliability and offer the added benefit of flexibility and miniaturization. At a fraction of the size of a standard RGB LED, CAPELLIX LEDs shine brighter and can be installed in numerous places, thanks to the awesome manufacturing process of being printed directly on the circuit board.<br> CORSAIR decided to use the K57 RGB Wireless to debut SLIPSTREAM Wireless and CAPELLIX LEDs in our keyboard product line primarily due to accessibility. By featuring these technologies in an affordable product, more people can enjoy the experience of having some of the newest tech in their hands. We wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to enjoy two technologies we’re very proud of here at CORSAIR. We worked hard to make SLIPSTREAM wireless the best, most responsive wireless protocol we could, and CAPELLIX LEDs are similarly groundbreaking. Instead of limiting them only to premiere products, we felt it better to use them where they could do the most good – by improving performance and battery life in our mainstream wireless gaming keyboard.<br> Discussing the K57 RGB Wireless on our AMA Livestream in August 2019While the K57 RGB Wireless keyboard is a membrane keyboard, even keyboard elitists who have seen and used the keyboard in person at PAX West 2019 were astounded to find out it wasn’t mechanical, noting that keystrokes were comfortable, both in actuation feel and force. Another benefit of the membrane actuation is very quiet operation, which is something a lot of streamers look for in keyboards so their viewers don’t hear the constant clacking of the keys, especially in areas where a wireless keyboard excels, like the living room.<br> Many younger gamers and their parents were excited to hear that it was wireless with per-key RGB lighting for $99.99 MSRP, a price facilitated by the fact that it’s a membrane keyboard. The features and technologies the K57 offers at this price point are unique in the industry, and this makes it a perfect keyboard for both new users and veterans, gamers and content creators, or for those who just want a reliable wireless keyboard for any situation. If the K57 RGB Wireless sounds like just the keyboard you’ve been searching for, head over to corsair.com to check it out!
