CORSAIR, a world leader in enthusiast components for gamers, creators, and PC builders, today announced wide-ranging compatibility across its entire product range for Intel's newly released 13th Generation Intel Core desktop processors and their accompanying Z790 chipset based motherboards. Whether it's the latest in powerful all-in-one liquid cooling, high-performance PC power supplies, easy-to-build in cases or boundary pushing DDR5 memory, CORSAIR has the complete suite of products to push new 13th Generation Intel Core processor based PCs beyond performance.

Continuing its tradition of pushing the limits of memory performance, CORSAIR is also proud to announce a range of new high-frequency DDR5 kits specifically designed for Intel's new Z790 motherboards. Available initially as DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB in 2x16GB capacity and running at range-topping frequencies of 7,000 MHz, 7,200 MHz or for the first time from CORSAIR, an amazing 7,600 MHz, these new kits push DDR5 performance to new heights alongside Intel's new cutting edge processors. These incredible high-frequency speeds will also be coming to both VENGEANCE DDR5 and VENGEANCE RGB DDR5 later in 2022.



While Intel's new 13th Generation Core Processors set new standards of performance, they use the same LGA1700 CPU socket as previous 12th generation processors. This means that every CORSAIR all-in-one liquid CPU cooler is already compatible using out-of-the-box mounting hardware - the only limit is your ambitions for the build. Whether it's the stunning 2.1"LCD screen equipped, triple-fan H150i ELITE LCD, or the combination of minimalist styling and performance of the H100i ELITE, CORSAIR all-in-one liquid coolers have the performance to cool Intel's new generation of processors. If all-in-one cooling isn't enough, the full range of CORSAIR Hydro X Series XC7 PRO CPU blocks is also fully compatible, for users looking to push the envelope of custom cooling performance.

Building a new PC means deciding on a full range of components to complete your build, and CORSAIR has everything you need to create a powerhouse around Intel's new processors. Whether it's a 4000, 5000 or 7000 Series case to build your PC in, an efficient and quiet power supply from the RM, HX or AX ranges, or vibrant RGB cooling fans to provide plentiful airflow and style, CORSAIR has the complete range of hardware to build your next PC.

As a leader in performance memory, CORSAIR also has a complete range of DDR4 and DDR5 memory to complement your Intel 13th Generation Core processor-based system build. Intel's 13th Generation Core processors support both DDR4 or DDR5 memory (specific to the motherboard), so to help users find the correct memory for their build, CORSAIR has fully updated its comprehensive Memory finder and PC builder tools to make finding the right kit for you, easy. Whether it's the peerless refined quality of DOMINATOR PLATINUM RGB DDR5, the panoramic lighting of VENGEANCE RGB DDR5, or the minimalist simplicity of VENGEANCE DDR5, CORSAIR has a wide range of capacities and speeds to suit any system.

Not a fan of RGB but the Corsair RGB DDR5 RAM looks especially ugly compared to the G.Skill DDR5 RGB RAM.
Fuuuggggly yes, but at the clients' request, I have built several rigs using their rainbow pukefest Vengeance & Dominator DDR4 ram kits, nevanottaproblemo :)

I have not used their DDR5 yet, but have an upcoming order for 2x 13th gen intel rigs, so we'll see how that goes....

I feel that GSkill is the winner this generation. Kingston Fury Renegade is nice too.
 
Beyond Performance..
Generic marketing for a generic product.
The only thing corsair I'd buy is a case.
I like to blame the initial RGB plague on Corsair.
 
Corsair doesn't seem that good with DDR5... Much rather have G.Skill stick indeed and perhaps a Kingston kit if good...

I have the G Skill, like you I am not a fan of RGB in general but the waterfall effect of the light moving from top to bottom on the DIMM is somewhat relaxing so I just ignore it now.
 
I've certainly built my first and my last RGB-infused system. Its so pointless, and ceases to be nice to look at after a month. Now I'm here cleaning my goddamn window every time, and it also doesn't help the case's noise reduction.

Its remarkably similar to my SLI experience. Looks cool, doesn't add anything but hassle.

RGB can add flair and personality, depending on the color scheme and how you set it up. But it certainly doesn’t improve FPS that’s for sure.

Myeah... flair and personality. Its a box of components, you know, the 'personality' is one big brand-hugging nonsense called gamur premium. Built to not last, and really, most of it looks pretty much the same. Some transparent plastics, a window, rgb, and form over function, fighting for the least useful design decisions to stand out.

Honestly, its bottom barrel quality and horrible development in design is what made me dislike it. They had an honest chance to make something better out of this. But everything's just shitting rainbows.

I mean, look at those stylish NZXT motherboards. Flair and personality, and 300+ bucks for bottom barrel ECS junk. And its not even the worst offender to common sense. My next box is going to be another minimalist one...

The key is to override the RGB rainbow puke and put together a color scheme that you like, probably mixing in components such as sleeved cables that accent the look you're going for. For example, say you have a white case, with white or silver components, you can set the lighting to white or blue or purple or some other color that you enjoy. RGB puke is bad yes, but you can override that. But of course, you can also turn it off if you wish as well.

I know, I ended up turning it all off :)

And I tried, I really tried to like all sorts of stuff I tried. But nothing is relaxing or anything that somehow helps me do PC things. Its a distraction, and unpleasant to look at, the colored light. I have a Lightning node pro in the case and some mobo lighting. Adjusting one and then the other was already a major hassle, one is in Windows the other in BIOS. And the results were, well. A lengthy exercise in keeping busy, let's keep it at that.

But I can see from your pics we approach PCs entirely differently ;) I've really looked at your angle, was close to buying a Kraken and go full boutique with my case. Then I read AIO / kraken user experiences... and I started discovering a trend: if it has RGB, value for money plummets and quality nosedives.

And here I am 2,5 years in, Lightning node pro is half broken; the Sharkoon M80 mechanical KB with RGB is broken; and an RGB infused Logitech mouse broke even faster. :kookoo:

I'm replacing this with no nonsense peripherals. The Xtrfy mouse that replaced the logi has RGB OFF... Let's see how long that lasts.

Nah man, this whole RGB fad is living proof commerce is primarily out to make you want new things you really don't benefit from. Total waste of time.
