It appears that Corsair has a winner on their hands with the HX series of power supplies. The HX620W that we tested today performed very well and had some of the most stable rails that we have seen on a power supply that supports the latest multiple graphics card solutions from both ATI and NVIDIA. When using the HX620W on both AMD and Intel platforms we found the power supply to be stable and more than enough to feed power to the fastest desktop processors on the market today...

Corsair once again wants the top spot in the DDR market, and they have it. The 4400PRO is the only 2GB kit available at these speeds, which is reason enough to check them out. Well, they prove very fast as we had hoped, despite the somewhat loose timings. Let's take a deeper look...

With the watercooling market filling slowly with kits that take the worry out of selecting your required components, it was only a matter of time until somebody upped the ante by making watercooling simple to install. Corsair have taken it even further, by improving immensely on the external idea they had thought of nearly three years ago. The Nautilus 500 is simply incredible value for what you are getting: a bespoke yet flexible, well performing external watercooling system capable of dissipating an whopping 500W of heat. With watercooling as simple as this, liquid cooling could well be helped along its evolutionary path with a firm kick from behind dealt by Corsair...

So what have we gathered from all of our benchmarks? This stuff is FAST. Without a doubt, this should prove to be the fastest 1GB kit you can buy for your DDR2 system today. Sadly, our benchmarks don't even show the full raw power of these modules because of our limited CPU. If you have an EE processor with a stock 1066FSB, then these modules will really shine. If you are an extreme overclocker, these modules have been known to hit near 600MHz. So despite them being 'topped out' as is, there is still a lot of overclocking fun to be had...

This 2GB XMS-4400PRO TwinX memory kit is Corsair's fastest dual-channel DDR memory kit. Although its SPD is programmed for DDR400 operation at 3-3-3-8, it is certified to run at 550MHz DDR at 3-4-4-8. Each module also has a huge capacity of 1GB, giving the memory kit a total capacity of 2GB. While many PCs are still shipping with 512MB or even 256MB of memory, many gamers and hardware enthusiasts will welcome the increased capacity with open arms. With games like F.E.A.R. demanding 2GB of memory for maximum performance, serious gamers will be gunning for large capacity modules like this Corsair memory kit. Even graphics editors will appreciate the increased productivity that 2GB of memory can provide them...

This 1GB XMS2-8500 TwinX memory kit is Corsair's fastest dual-channel DDR2 memory kit. In fact, it's the first DDR2 memory kit to ship with an effective clock speed of 1066MHz for Intel platforms that support a 1066MHz FSB. However, to achieve such a high clock rate, a few compromises had to be made. For starters, Corsair had to use a high latency of 5-5-5-15. This is certainly no low-latency module. If you are looking for low-latency, then you are out of luck. In addition, the modules have a capacity of only 512MB, giving the memory kit a total capacity of 1GB. Since this memory kit is targeted at power users and enthusiasts, the limited capacity may be an issue since it limits them to 2GB of memory with four DIMM slots. Even gamers and graphics editors are already going for 2GB of memory. Read on...

It may come as a surprise to some, but memory moguls Corsair actually threw together quite a great water cooling kit called COOL. Well, now they are testing different waters...an external kit! We will be testing it on a very, very hot Intel Dual Core, so let's see how it does...

Corsair's TWIN2X1024-8500 memory is overkill for the majority of users unless absolute performance is vital. Want the fastest memory around? Look no further than this pack. Priced at around £175 for a 1GByte set it's not cheap, but if you can afford an Extreme Edition CPU, do yourself a favour and pair it up with some ultra-high bandwidth memory. Now where's that PC8500 3-2-2-8 memory that I've been hankering for? ;-)

If you are seeking out a new DDR2 kit, then make sure it's at least 2GB! The 6400PRO from Corsair boasts the fast speed of DDR2-800 with timings of 5-5-5. Best of all though, it rolls in at 2GB and includes some purdy LED's!

Nice, Very nice, yes that is what I am saying about this kit. Confused huh? Well you know when you go out and buy something get home try it and it all works perfectly, then after a few days fiddling you find out it's a lot better than expected. Well that is the feeling you will get if you purchase this kit, it is almost like a sense of achievement and we all like that feeling don't we. If I had one bad thing to say it would be the heat spreaders, I mean come on Corsair I had these same spreaders on a kit I bought when I got a FX5960 when it was brand new. I know if its not broke don't fix it could apply here but maybe it's just me...

Corsair wanted to launch a low cost water cooler at $159 and that is what Corsair did. I give Corsair a hand for bringing enthusiast technology to the mainstream consumer and I believe the mainstream market is ready to embrace water cooling. I have been saying for years that water cooling is the way to go if you don't move around your computer a ton. With reduced noise levels and awesome temperatures water cooling is well worth the extra cost from my point of view. Decent water cooling was always over $200 and that the midnight oil burning over at Corsair and the end result is the Nautilus 500...

The Voyager Flash Drive is exactly what I expected from a company that is so dominant in the memory arena as Corsair is. I'm rather surprised I hadn't previously heard more about this flash drive but am glad I had a chance to review it. The Voyager is available in sizes ranging from 128MB to 4GB, but the 512MB and 1GB are the fastest models they offer. I have no problem recommending the Corsair Voyager Flash Drive to anybody, you will be pleased with the performance...

The 4000Pt is an awesome set of ram in my book. Being able to overclock to the levels it did, made it a permanent piece in my main rig. I have yet to have a 2GB set of DDR to hit this level. And backed by a lifetime warranty and good customer service, you can't really go wrong with this ram. The 4000PT may not have the fancy LEDs of the Expert series, but it has the performance and the headroom to be a winner in anybody's book. Some may be a little tard on the timings but with high clocks like this, it's still a winner. All I can say is look at the value versus performance of some of the other companies that have ram that may come close to the 4000PT and the answer will lead you back here...

This 2GB XMS-3500LLPRO TwinX memory kit is Corsair's largest and fastest dual-channel memory kit for those who are looking for a low-latency DDR solution. It is not only rated with low timings of 2-3-2-6, it also supports a 1T command rate. Each module has a huge capacity of 1GB, giving the memory kit a total capacity of 2GB. While many PCs are still shipping with 512MB or even 256MB of memory, many gamers and hardware enthusiasts will welcome the increased capacity with open arms...
