I think an AMD Ryzen CPU option would make far more sense with the CPU cooling design they chose for this version of the C1. Lower power requirements, lower temps and less noise, with comparable performance. I know they ultimately offered earlier versions of the C1 with AMD CPUs - hope they do the same here.

I owned and liked both an i160 and i300, and I'm interested in this one. But I'll probably wait and see if they make some revisions. I don't understand why they went with such a puny cooling design for the CPU. There's plenty of room in the case for a bigger radiator or fans or both. It's like they designed the cooling for a case half the size. That seems to be the primary cause of the noise problem all the reviewers cite. So hoping they do something to fix that in future iterations. And, I'd like to see an AMD CPU option, since that would also help with the CPU temps. Which raises another question I've had going back to the original C1s - why don't they offer more options in terms of CPU? If I am using this primarily as a gaming rig, I don't really need the highest end CPU. A Ryzen 7800X3D likely will do just fine for a long time to come. And since the motherboard supports a range of CPUs, why not offer options that would make cooling easier for those who don't need the fastest CPU? I see that Origin is also selling these and offers some customization. Hopefully, we'll see some more rational CPU options there in the future.

Newegg has pulled the listing. I’m hoping there’s a 4090 option, otherwise it’s a no-go for me. I already have a 2000D case with a 4090 FE, and I see no reason to go backward in performance. And if the phantom Newegg listing is correct, the i500 will be only slightly smaller than the 2000D (and not really in the most important dimension).

Did Newegg jump the gun? Corsair Gaming Desktop ONE i500 Wood Dark If this is correct, the chassis will be shorter but deeper than the 2000D.

K100 Air - Associate Profile with Bluetooth connection
Queeg replied to Salsiccia's topic in Gaming Peripherals
I think the keyboard will use the Hardware Lighting profile when connected via Bluetooth (i.e., not connected via the USB dongle). -
iCue 5 works just fine with my K100 Air. When you say the keyboard is no longer visible in iCue, do you mean the keyboard doesn't show up, the USB dongle doesn't show up, or neither shows up? Have you tried repairing the keyboard and the dongle? You may need to connect the keyboard via a USB cable to reset the pairing.

I actually went ahead and did the update...just because. Went well and system is running fine. But I can't tell any difference.

K100 Air Wireless secondary functions: lit or not?
Queeg replied to Ragnir's topic in Gaming Peripherals
The K100 is definitely usable where the G915 is not, -
K100 Air Wireless secondary functions: lit or not?
Queeg replied to Ragnir's topic in Gaming Peripherals
They are partially lit - maybe half the brightness of the primary functions - and I have no problem seeing them. By comparison, the K100 Air is much better than the Logitech G915 in this regard. I really liked the G915 but it was basically unusable in a dark room because the secondary functions were invisible. -
Same question here.

Good to know. I have the same edition you do. I've never had any issues so I may leave well enough alone.

I can't speak to the i400 because it's new. But I have an i300 that I'm very happy with (and an i160 before that - also very happy). It looks like the i400 is essentially similar to the i300 I have. GPU - RTX 3080, same in both CPU - i300 has an i9-12900k; i400 has an i7-13700KF. So the i400 has the newest Intel chip, but not the fastest version. That's probably a good thing - it still should be plenty fast but run cooler. I'd be happy with an i7 in my i300. RAM - 32GB DDR5 in both, but i400 is a bit faster (5600MHz vs 4800MHz) Storage - NVMe SSD in both, but i300 is bigger (2TB vs 1 TB) Motherboard, IO, etc the same in both Apart from the storage, the i400 looks really good. And much cheaper than the i300 was when I bought mine. And I added a SATA SSD to my i300, so I suspect you can do that too - just need a SATA cable (shorter the better - it's a compact build). I've really liked both my Corsair Ones. Great design and build quality. Fits and looks great on my desk and handles anything I throw at it. If I were buying one today, I'd go with the i400.

I know some folks here have been asking for a BIOS update for some time, and I look forward to hearing how the update goes and what functionality/fixes it adds. I'm more of the not broke/don't fix school where BIOS updates are concerned.
