Steelseries Launches Limited Edition Arctis Nova 7 Headset

From the makers of Arctis, the most awarded audio line in gaming,  SteelSeries, the original esports brand that fuses gaming and culture, today introduces the special-edition Dragon Arctis Nova 7 series headset. Designed by a collective of SteelSeries designers and product managers with Chinese and Taiwanese heritage, the Dragon Arctis Nova 7 honors their heritage and culture, the traditions of family gatherings and festivals, and celebrates the beginning of the 2024 Lunar New Year.

 

Centered around a dragon (Lóng), one of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals (Zhōngguó shí’èr shēngxiào dòngwù), the dragon icon has been sculpted with softer edges, giving it a more modern look. The dragon’s body wraps around the Chinese character for ‘dragon’ and sits atop a stack of lucky clouds (xiángyún). Hidden beneath the dragon that is emblazoned on the speaker plates, a circular version of the Chinese character for good fortune (Fú) adorns the ear cups, while the headband takes the shape of a dragon’s scales. The deep red colorway symbolizes prosperity in life and is accented with bold gold symbolizing money and fortune.

 

Through four years of innovative and meticulous engineering, SteelSeries set out to push boundaries, solve problems for those living a multi-faceted ‘gaming lifestyle’ and reinvent the world’s #1 premium gaming headphones. Whether it’s gaming on the go, listening to Spotify or watching Netflix while commuting on the train or bus, taking a Zoom call and needing to tune out the noise in a shared apartment, workspace, or coffee shop, at the home office with furry kids running around, in the gym or basketball court, playing some Call of Duty MWIII or Mario at home, and so much more… Welcome to the future of audio for a gaming lifestyle.

 

Elite performance comes standard. The Arctis Nova 7 is equipped with the Nova Acoustic System, which fuses hardware and software to raise the bar over the competition and provide those living a ‘gaming lifestyle’ with a new superpower known as ‘Almighty Audio.’ The combination of custom-designed High Fidelity speaker drivers that offer unparalleled sound purity, plus immersive 360° Spatial Audio for an immersive soundscape, along with the Sonar Audio Software Suite, which features the first pro-grade parametric EQ for gamers and allows them to adjust every individual frequency, provides unparalleled sound customization.

 

With wireless freedom and Simultaneous Audio, you can listen to two audio streams at the same time with 2.4GHz and Bluetooth, easily swapping between PC, Mac, PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, iPhone, Android, and mobile devices with USB-C. Communications are key and the new ClearCast Gen 2’s AI-powered noise cancelation gives users crystal clear comms. Purposely designed for gamers, the bidirectional mic uses the same technology used by Formula 1 teams and silences noise and distractions, including button-mashing and keyboard tapping, co-workers in shared workspaces, family members and pets while working from home, and background noise in coffee shops. Additionally, the mic has been reimagined with a unique design that blends seamlessly into the earcup when fully retracted for a sleek and stylish look for on-the-go.

 

The special-edition Dragon Arctis Nova 7 will be available for pre-order at select retailers and etailers around the world, including in the Philippines from February 1st to February 15th for Php 11,995

Unboxing and Overview

The latest Huawei Watch GT 3 comes in either 42mm or 46mm variants. What I have here is the 42mm variant of the GT 3 as it suits me better than the larger 46mm watch. You can also choose which style you want to get depending on the strap of your choosing. Whether it be leather, nylon woven, metal chain, or Milanese stainless steel mesh.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 comes with a wireless charger out which is an upgrade over the previous Huawei GT 2 which had a wired charger.

While the bigger 46mm GT 3 variant has a 14 day battery life, the smaller 42mm variant that I have here only has a week’s worth of battery – four if you’re a heavy user.

The Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm has a 1.43-inch AMOLED large screen size with milo 3d curved glass helping you see the screen clearly in any direction. Aside from the top, the bottom is also curved making it more comfortable to wear near your wrist bone, curved design is less likely to accumulate sweat during prolonged use and helps on preventing external light to pass through improving the quality of the heart rate signal.

It features the new Trueseen 5.0+ with improved heart rate monitoring for intense workout sessions.

I got here the fluoroelastomer strap that is so comfortable, soft, durable, and most importantly sweat and waterproof perfect for your day-to-day activities. The Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm can also be fitted with other strap designs and supports straps from third-party makers as well.

Aside from heart rate, the Huawei Watch GT 3 can monitor 02 sat, temperature, sleep, stress and so much more.

Each iteration of the Huawei Watch GT model has its own set of watch faces which also differs depending on the size variant that you choose. The ones found on the Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm sport different designs from sporty, stylish, to professional to suit your outfit or your current strap. I honestly enjoy the different refreshing designs so I might change it daily depending on my mood.

Conclusion

That said, it’s my first time owning a smartwatch and I never thought it would be this convenient and helpful thanks to the features of the Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm. I can listen to any song in full volume without having to complain about the sound quality thanks to the upgraded speaker which delivers rich sound both for calls and entertainment. What I enjoyed most about the Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm is the ability to answer calls even if my phone is not physically accessible. Moreover, the Huawei Watch GT 3 saved me a couple of times thanks to the ability to make the paired mobile phone ring even if it’s on silent mode – a lifesaver for someone who always misplaces their phone. Overall, I never thought owning a smartwatch, specifically the Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm, would be so life-changing thanks to its sleek design and reliable features. Its 7-day battery life is more than enough for me to get through the busy workdays with enough juice for the weekends and what’s amazing with its battery is that it only takes under 2 hours to fully charge. Overall, the Huawei Watch GT 3 42mm is a great smartwatch for first-time users and even enthusiasts thanks to its sleek design, well-rounded features, and competitive price of only Php 8,499.

Latest Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G is here!

Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G is here!

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today opened the next chapter in foldable innovation with two new smartphones, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. Both devices are premium foldable smartphones built with the craftsmanship and flagship innovations Samsung users have come to love and expect. The third generation of these category-defining devices incorporates key improvements that Samsung foldable users have asked for—making them more durable with more optimized foldable experiences than ever before. From iconic design to immersive entertainment, Galaxy Z Flip3 5G and Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G offer users unique new ways to work, watch, and play.

For those who need the ultimate device for productivity and immersive entertainment, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G is a true multitasking powerhouse with next-level performance, an undisrupted 7.6-inch[1] Infinity Flex Display, and the first-ever S Pen[2] support on a Galaxy foldable device. For those who want style that comes with function, Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the ideal device with its sleek, compact, and pocketable design, enhanced camera features, and a larger Cover Screen[3] built for quick use on the go.

“With Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G, Samsung is once again redefining the possibilities with foldable smartphones that empower users with the flexibility and versatility needed for today’s fast-paced world,” said Dr. TM Roh, President and Head of Mobile Communications Business, Samsung Electronics. “As a pioneer and industry leader in the foldable category, we’re proud to build on our legacy of innovation with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. These devices equip consumers with technologies that unlock new ways to maximize and enjoy every moment with an ecosystem built on openness and innovation.”

Advanced Craftsmanship Built to Last

Samsung users expect foldable devices that are built to last. That’s why this generation of Galaxy Z devices is built with unrivaled craftsmanship. For the first time ever on a Galaxy foldable smartphone, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G are equipped with IPX8[4] water resistance, so users no longer have to worry when caught in the rain. Both devices are also built with our new Armor Aluminum—the strongest aluminum ever used on a Galaxy smartphone—along with the toughest Corning® Gorilla® Glass Victus™ to protect against scratches and accidental drops. In addition, both devices include a new protective film made of stretchable PET[5] and optimized display panel layers resulting in a Main Screen that’s 80% more durable than previous devices[6].

Samsung continues its legacy of foldable leadership with rigorous processes to create devices that remain reliable after years of use. The revolutionary Hideaway Hinge, first introduced on Galaxy Z Flip, enables the devices to stay in place at any angle for innovative user experiences with Flex mode[7]. And thanks to enhanced Sweeper technology, the bristles inside the Hinge are now shorter, helping to repel dust and other particles and maintain the devices’ durability and seamless user experiences. The Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G were also put through a strenuous folding test, verified by Bureau Veritas, to withstand folding 200,000 times[8] . Plus, they’re equipped with the latest powerful 5nm AP and 5G[9] band compatibility for the best experience inside and out.

Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G: Ultimate Productivity and Entertainment

Unfold the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G to immerse yourself in theater-like viewing experiences and stay fully engaged in your favorite content on the uninterrupted 7.6-inch Infinity Flex Display—thanks to our new Under Display Camera technology. With minimum pixels applied on top of the camera hole, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G features an increased viewable area so users get an unbroken canvas for their favorite apps. With the new Eco² display technology applied to the screen, it’s 29%[10] brighter while consuming less energy[11]. Experience even smoother scrolling and quick device interaction with the Super Smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate now on both the Main and Cover Screens.

For the first time ever on the Galaxy Z series, Samsung is bringing its beloved Note series technology to the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G—the S Pen functionality. Users can take advantage of fully optimized S Pen features on their foldable screen, which is a perfect fit for on-the-go multitaskers. On the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G’s massive Main Screen, it’s easier than ever for users to jot down notes during a video call or check off a to-do list while reading emails, as users can also power their creativity and productivity with our fan-favorite S Pen. The S Pen Fold Edition features a specially engineered retractable Pro tip with force limit technology to protect the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G’s Main Screen for peace of mind. This is Samsung’s best S Pen experience yet, with even lower latency for true-to-life composition—ensuring that note-taking and sending messages is seamless and intuitive.

 

Productivity seekers will also enjoy the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G’s enhanced Flex mode features, which let you do more at once, such as joining a video call on the device’s top screen while checking meeting notes on the bottom. With the updated Multi-Active Window[12], it’s even easier to make dinner plans over text while checking your calendar, all on the device’s large screen. And now on the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G, users can create a shortcut and reopen apps in the same way later thanks to enhanced App Pair. Plus, they can use the new Taskbar[13] to quickly switch between apps without returning to the Home screen.

 

The Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G is built with a sleeker, thinner, and lighter design for even better portability than Galaxy Z Fold2 5G. It comes with a choice of three timeless colors: Phantom Black, Phantom Green, and Phantom Silver.

 

Galaxy Z Flip3 5G: The Ideal Balance of Style, Function, and Nonstop Fun

The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G empowers users to express themselves with bold color options, a sleek design, and premium features. With the choice of four trendy colors—Cream, Green, Lavender, and Phantom Black—plus new stylish ring grips and strap cases[14] that make it even easier to hold and fold the phone, the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is a device for true self-expression.

The redesigned Cover Screen is now four times larger[15] and makes it easier to view notifications and messages without having to open the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G. Users can keep up with their schedule, check the weather, and monitor their daily step count with new Cover Screen widgets or coordinate the Cover Screen wallpaper with their new Galaxy Watch4 or Galaxy Watch4 Classic for a matching look.

 

The Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is also crafted to give users the best capability for capturing and sharing memories. Packed with some of our latest camera features, users can take even more stunning selfies hands-free with Flex mode. Or they can keep the device folded and capture a quick photo—and now, even video—right from the Cover Screen using enhanced Quick Shot by double-clicking the power key. Plus, scrolling and sharing are super smooth, thanks to its new 120Hz adaptive refresh rate[16].

 

Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is great for relaxing and watching a YouTube vlog or a TV show hands-free. Thanks to the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G’s new, upgraded Stereo Speakers with Dolby Atmos®, you get immersive sound with incredible clarity, depth and spatial effects, no matter what you’re watching or listening to. And the new Flex Mode Panel feature makes apps look better and easier to use. When the device is partially folded, Flex Mode Panel gives you new ways to interact with the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, offering a more convenient viewing experience by moving the video to the top half of the screen and the show’s controls—like brightness and volume—to the bottom half.

 

Optimized Foldable Experiences Open Up New Possibilities

With the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G, users will get access to more apps that take full advantage of the foldable screen. Samsung is expanding partnerships with leading companies like Google, Microsoft, and more, so users can enjoy more of their go-to apps tailored to their unique needs. Collaborate effectively with Microsoft Teams app: Enjoy optimized meeting experience adapting based on the Flex mode of your Galaxy Z series and the power of Office and Teams coming together. For the best productivity at work, Microsoft Outlook’s dual-pane mode for Samsung foldables enables users to read a full email while previewing others on the side, just like a desktop experience. To bring users even more choices, Samsung’s new Labs[17] feature offers users the ability to optimize even more apps to the foldable screen when needed.

Furthermore, Samsung continues to rethink how app developers can create amazing user experiences from anywhere. To provide them with more options while ensuring high-quality optimization, Samsung supports Remote Test Lab(RTL)[18], giving app developers the ability to directly install and test their applications in real-time, from wherever they are.

 

Galaxy Buds2: Buds for everyone with premium sound and comfortable fit

Joining the Galaxy Z Fold 3 5G and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G is the Galaxy Buds2 – designed for a comfortable fit made to be worn all day, and provide premium sound quality so you can immerse yourself in the moment, wherever you are.

Design

The Galaxy M12 is encased in a polycarbonate matte back which is much expected at a phone at this range. The design on the back is divided by vertical stripes that have semicircles carved into them giving it a sleek and study aesthetic.

At the rear, we see the phone’s quad-camera setup, as well as a Samsung logo on the bottom part.

At the front, we see the Galaxy M12’s 6.5-inch HD+ display that comes with a waterdrop notch at the very top which is quite common in budget smartphones nowadays. Despite being a pretty heavy phone at 221g, and measuring 9.7mm thick, Samsung has equipped it with a 5,000 mAh Li-Polymer battery which has very good battery life and fast 15W charging type-c support.

Life most of the recent releases, the Galaxy M12 has a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into its power button while on the other side, we see the triple-slot tray with two nano-sims and a MicroSD support.

Camera

Much like its A-series counterpart, the A12, the Samsung Galaxy M12 has very much the same camera setup with a triple camera at the rear using a 48MP ISOCELL Gm2 main sensor, along with a 5 MP depth sensor, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor.

For a phone at this price range, the Samsung Galaxy M12 takes fairly decent images with its 48MP main camera during the daytime. The details are at a great dynamic range and come out quite well as well on its 12MP photos.

Performance

Equipped with an Exynos 850 as its System on Chip offering 8-cores with a performance of up to 2 GHz, and has become a popular choice on affordable Samsung devices. It is a great choice for less demanding games such as Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and League of Legends: Wild Rift. Wild Rift was able to run at high graphics quality but wasn’t able to hold consistent 60FPS frame rates. This should come much as a bother to most gamers at this price range.

Battery Life

Thanks to its 5000 mAh battery and efficient chipset, the Samsung Galaxy M12 can give at least two days of battery life on moderate use while with heavy gaming, it may last up to a single day. It is quite normal but what’s different is the 15W charging that Samsung was able to provide at this price tag, giving the phone only 3 hours to charge from 0 to 100 percent.

Conclusion

The Samsung Galaxy M12 is worth the buy if you’re a person on the go that needs a decent battery life on their smartphone thanks to its 5,000 mAh battery life. You can’t really go wrong with getting this phone and is a great contender for one of the best budget devices in the market.

Corsair adds Facecam to their Elgato Ecosystem along with 4 latest products

Elgato, a leading provider of hardware and software for streamers and content creators, today announced the launch of Facecam, a cutting-edge entry into the world of professional-grade webcams. Facecam captures video in true Full HD 1080p60 through an all-glass studio-quality Elgato Prime lens. Equipped with a Sony® Starvis™ image sensor that excels in indoor lighting conditions, and an optimized fixed focus, Facecam keeps you looking sharp in live streams, conference calls, online classes, or anywhere demanding high-quality HD video capture. The result is a webcam tailor-made for creating today’s most professional content.

+

Alongside Facecam, today Elgato also launches a host of new gear to upgrade your production setup: Wave XLR, an XLR to USB Type-C microphone interface and digital audio mixer; Stream Deck, now with interchangeable faceplates, a detachable USB Type-C cable, and a beautiful new stand; and Wave Mic Arm plus Wave Mic Arm LP, two fully adjustable boom arms for optimal desktop microphone positioning.

Facecam features a studio-quality f/2.4 24-mm, all-glass Elgato Prime Lens. A state-of-the-art Sony Starvis CMOS sensor with back-illuminated pixel technology ensures extraordinary detail in a variety of lighting conditions, especially indoors. Optimized fixed focus enables you to move freely and stay in focus, while an adjustable field of view up to 82° allows you to set close-up or wide-angle shots. Facecam outputs true Full HD at 1080p60fps without artifacts thanks to an advanced image engine that outputs uncompressed video.

 

Facecam makes configuring and installing an expert webcam setup simple and easy, seamlessly mounting to nearly any monitor or camera mount via a choice of an expandable monitor clamp or a 1/4″ thread. Connecting to your PC or Mac via a detachable USB Type-C cable, uncompressed image data is transferred with extremely low latency. The accompanying Camera Hub app gives you DSLR-like control of settings such as field of view, brightness, and exposure – and your settings are saved directly to Facecam for instant recall on all your computers. The Stream Deck plugin enables instant tactile control and integration with your entire setup.

“With Elgato’s history of innovation in every aspect of content creation, we knew that our first webcam had to set a new standard in the industry,” said Julian Fest, SVP and GM of Elgato. “Facecam is the culmination of thousands of hours of meticulous engineering, and it comes at a time when more people than ever are looking to build a highly professional setup that can help establish and grow their audiences. Facecam is a blend of premium hardware and advanced software that gives users an intuitive, powerful solution to achieve stunning video quality. Manually tuning a camera to capture the perfect shot has never been easier.”

 

Debuting alongside Facecam, Wave XLR connects your existing high-quality XLR microphone to your PC, upgrading its audio capabilities and enabling integration with the Elgato Wave Link app to mix your microphone audio with multiple other independent audio sources. Controlling your microphone with Wave XLR is easy thanks to its silent capacitive mute button and multifunctional control dial. Proprietary Clipguard technology prevents sound distortion when input levels peak, while up to 75dB of ultra-low-noise gain amplifies insensitive mics. Wave XLR also provides up to 48 volts of phantom power to drive condenser microphones for extra high audio detail and capacity. Like Facecam, Wave XLR integrates perfectly with Stream Deck for advanced audio control.

 

Next in the lineup is the all-new Stream Deck. The iconic interface with fifteen bright LCD keys that can be customized with icons and actions to control apps and tools, Stream Deck now sports detachable components that allow users to completely personalize their setup. A new fixed-angle desktop stand keeps Stream Deck firmly planted and can be removed to lay the unit flat or mount as desired. The USB Type-C cable can be disconnected and replaced by any USB Type-C cable. Plus, the faceplate easily snaps off so users can just as easily snap on a different design from a growing range of custom faceplates adorned in vibrant colors and graphics. With the recently updated Stream Deck 5.0 app and Store featuring plugins, royalty-free music tracks, sound effects and more, Stream Deck is an extremely versatile, fully customizable control interface for any computer-based workflow. It’s also the perfect companion for Elgato products, including Facecam and Wave XLR.

Joining Elgato’s selection of Wave audio gear and accessories, Wave Mic Arm and Wave Mic Arm LP offer content creators, radio broadcasters, business professionals – anyone with a desktop audio setup – two premium-quality mounting options. Wave Mic Arm, a traditional suspension boom arm, stands tall at 750mm / 29.5in and comes with an extension riser that adds another 150mm / 5.9in of height to reach over bigger obstacles such as computer monitors. Wave Mic Arm LP, by contrast, is an all-metal, low-profile boom arm that sits below the shoulder line to ensure an unobstructed view while making a stunning impression on and off camera. Streamlined and elegantly designed, both mic arms feature hidden cable channels with removable covers for easy access, an adjustable clamp mount that fits popular desk designs, and a ball head with a 1/4″ screw plus 3/8″-5/8″ adapters for ultimate flexibility.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to upgrade, Facecam and the newest wave of Elgato streaming gear and accessories have the power to turn your desktop into a professional content studio.

 Warranty

Elgato Facecam, Stream Deck, Wave XLR, Wave Mic Arm, and Wave Mic Arm LP are backed by a two-year warranty and the CORSAIR & Elgato worldwide customer service and technical support network.

 

Corsair 7000 Series Latest Cases launched!

New CORSAIR H170i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler also launches, boasting a massive 420mm radiator with three ML140 RGB fans

CORSAIR®, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced a new series of full-tower ATX cases to accommodate the biggest, most ambitious enthusiast builds – the Corsair 7000 Series, namely CORSAIR 7000D AIRFLOW and the CORSAIR iCUE 7000X RGB. Available in black and white, both 7000 Series cases feature a mammoth interior for maximum cooling potential, accommodating multiple radiators – up to three 360mm or two 420mm simultaneously. Exceptional airflow comes courtesy of included 140mm PWM fans featuring CORSAIR AirGuide technology, while the popular CORSAIR RapidRoute cable management system helps you easily create tidy, professional-looking builds.

Corsair 7000 Series

Choosing from either the 7000D AIRFLOW’s perforated steel high-airflow front panel or the 7000X RGB’s three beautiful tempered glass windows to showcase your system and lighting, PC enthusiasts will find the ideal case for their next masterpiece.

 

The cavernous interior of 7000 Series cases offers a multitude of cooling configurations to handle almost any PC cooling setup, with room for up to 12x 120mm or 7x 140mm cooling fans, or multiple radiators including up to 3x 360mm or 2x 420mm simultaneously. A specialized motherboard tray with customizable fan mounts enables you to install up to four 120mm fans or up to a 480mm radiator into the side of the case.

 

The 7000D AIRFLOW includes three 140mm fans with CORSAIR AirGuide technology, for concentrated airflow directed toward your PC’s hottest components. The 7000X RGB goes a step further and adds radiant RGB lighting with four included SP140 RGB ELITE AirGuide fans, each equipped with eight individually addressable RGB LEDs. An included iCUE COMMANDER CORE XT controller, CORSAIR iCUE software, and a PWM fan repeater provide comprehensive control of not only lighting but fan speed and performance too. Both the 7000D AIRFLOW and 7000X RGB offer an abundance of storage space including 6x combo 2.5in / 3.5in drive trays and 3x 2.5in SSD mounts. A full array of front panel I/O connections including a USB 3.1 Type-C port and 4x USB 3.0 ports ensure the 7000 Series meets the needs of nearly any system.

 

The 7000 Series’ tempered glass window showcases your premium components, while the case cleverly conceals your cables. The CORSAIR RapidRoute cable management system routes major cables through a single hidden channel, with a spacious 30mm of routing depth behind the motherboard and two tool-free hinged side panels for easy access. A three-slot vertical GPU mount on the PSU shroud puts any size graphics card center stage.

 

The spacious interior of both Corsair 7000 Series cases are optimal for housing the new CORSAIR H170i ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid CPU Cooler. With a massive 420mm radiator, three ML140 RGB PWM fans, and an eye-catching RGB pump head, the H170i ELITE CAPELLIX is the highest performing all-in-one cooler from CORSAIR to-date. Its extreme cooling performance is powered by a low-noise centrifugal pump, generating less than 20 dBA. A split-flow copper cold plate rapidly absorbs heat from your CPU, while the ML140 RGB fans spin up to 2,000 RPM to disperse that heat after it reaches the radiator.

H170i Elite Capellix

This top-tier performance is complemented by dynamic RGB lighting from 33 ultra-bright, power-efficient CAPELLIX LEDs in the pump head and eight individually addressable RGB LEDs per ML140 RGB fan. With the incredible customization offered by the included CORSAIR iCUE COMMANDER CORE Controller and powerful CORSAIR iCUE software, you can put the spotlight on your cooling. The H170i ELITE CAPELLIX is compatible with almost every modern Intel® and AMD CPU, including LGA 1200, 115X, 2066, and AM4 sockets.

 

With the launch of the 7000 Series, ORIGIN PC is adding the 7000D AIRFLOW and 7000X RGB cases to its award-winning line of GENESIS custom PCs. Boasting the highest-end hardware, from Intel Core™ i9 and AMD Ryzen™ CPUs to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 30-Series graphics, ORIGIN PC’s GENESIS line of desktops combines superpowered specs with maximum customization, letting you configure your dream PC just the way you want.
