CORSAIR ONE i164 Compact Gaming PC, i9-9900K, Liquid-Cooled RTX 2080 Ti, 960GB M.2, 2TB HDD,32GB

So, Xbox player here who recently switched to keyboard/mouse. I started working with my "good" PC in FortNite averaging 2-3 kills per match as well as other games. Tried Dead by Daylight and couldn't play due to graphics. I had a decent system with an I7, 32GB RAM, etc. It was glitchy and the graphics would lag in FortNite. Spent a month waffling over a graphics upgrade or a new video card. It's such a debate paying so much for a gaming PC but I'm here to say "'ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!" 1. The graphics are amazing. I had NO IDEA! Until you see it, you don't realize the difference 2. Setup was so easy. Updates and installs FLY! 3. Game play is ridiculous. Such an advantage. Get out of my way or die. 7-10 kills per match (from 3) average 4. Small form factor is a bonus. (Be aware this computer needs lots of airflow and needs to sit ON your desk) 5. Also made a few changes. Upgrade to CAT 8 cables and since my desk is used for teleworking, I purchased a video and keyboard/mouse switcher to conserve desk space. If you enjoy gaming and contemplating a custom build vs a pre-built... this is it. I chose this due to the manufacturer warranty as opposed to a possible sketchy "custom build" shop. 10/10 no regrets!

Ok let’s get one thing out of the way first and foremost, yes this Gaming PC is very EXPENSIVE, there’s no denying that, but this wasn’t meant for people looking to get the most bang for their buck. I believe this product is designed for a truly niche consumers, the kind like me that appreciate beautiful asthetics and well crafted premium build quality in a small compact form factor. Now that we got that out of the way, I have nothing but high praise for this product. This thing is a BEAST, I’m playing games like Gears 5 on 4k maxed out settings with well above 60fps, at 1080p I average anywhere from 180-200fps. This machine runs super quiet, fans never get loud and obnoxious and the temperatures don’t get too hot even after prolonged gaming sessions. If you’re like me and like beautiful design that can also crush anything you throw at it, I 100% recommend this product. Plus the RGB lighting is really cool and will wow anyone that sees it.

I was hesitant about spending over 3K on a computer but it was definitely worth it! It arrived in 4 days without a hitch. Benchmarks garner me 12K+ scores and it handles any game on Ultra with ease. I have yet to test it on 4K graphics but it handles everything on 1080p with 200+ fps (depending on the game). That 2080 Ti is just a powerhouse. Another plus for me is the small form factor. I have limited desk space and this tiny monster makes my life so much easier. Lastly, it is beyond quiet! Coming from a MSI Ge72vr, I was accustomed to my fans roaring while i was playing the witcher 3 at 60 fps. I only hear a slight humm from this baby playing witcher 3 on ultra w/ all the additional texture packs from "The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project". At 180-200 fps nonetheless! In summary, if you're unsure about the quality of this computer, rest assured. It has been a completely premium experience without a hiccup.

I purchased this in May of 2020 in July of 2020 the graphics card starting showing artifacts across the entire screen making it unusable. I had to send the defective item back and wait about a week to get a replacement. Then at the end of August 2021 the PSU started to squeak and the system would overheat and shutdown. It took about 10 days for the replacement to arrive and that system was also defective. The GPU pump squeaked, support said to let it run for a few days to settle. After a few hours the left side LEDs blinked red and looking in iCUE the GPU pump showed zero RPMs. When I called Corsair support on 9/9/2021 they said they had no more i164 in stock and forwarded to a manager to see what could be done. The support managers hide behind emails and there is no way to actually get one on the phone and I have been waiting for them to get back to me.

I work from home with a couple 32" hi-res monitors (2560x1440). My laptop (Lenovo P51s) and docking station proved to be flaky with respect to putting out that much video signal. Whenever I ran Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, the big monitors would wig out. The Lenovo just couldn't handle it. When I ran across the Corsair One line I was impressed by all of the positive evals by hardware junkies on YouTube. I'd just gotten a bonus at work; so I decided to splurge. I REALLY wanted the Corsair One Pro i200; but it's been out-of-stock at Corsair for some time. Then I stumbled across the i64 on Amazon. Two left in stock. Refurbished, yes; but I was willing to risk it based on the evals I'd seen. As soon as I got my hands on it, I upgraded the 2nd drive to an SSD. It's simply beautiful and fast besides being virtually silent... and now I have some video headroom. Three 4K DisplayPorts allow me to run my two monitors with ease with room for one more (if I can find the room on my desk!). My Windows Remote Desktop Connection to my work PC and the occasional Teams meeting are handled with no sweat. I do some voice and video recordings with Audacity, OBS Studio, and Camtasia, and the Corsair barely breathes. I've built my own systems in the past and it's fun. But I'm impressed that the Corsair One line performs as well as it does while being liquid cooled and very compact. Recommended.

I've been running this thing for a little over a month now and... wow. I mostly game on consoles, so the only gaming I do on pc that tends to 'push' hardware is VR gaming through Steam and Oculus, along with Civilization V/VI. (No CoD or the other intensive franchises.) With all settings maxed to the limit on either Civ game, late in games with everything built out and tons of units all over map -- you still never hear the fan run. When I am playing Skyrim VR or No Man's Space VR with settings essentially maxed -- I can finally make the fan run hard enough to hear it - barely. All of this in a case that's roughly the size of a mailbox, but a little smaller and a lot more attractive to the eye. I have owned a TON of pc's over the years, I've always had a primary (and secondary) desktop, and also a tricked out gaming laptop basically at all time. I have never been this impressed ('blown away') by the engineering of a computer product.

Overall this is a brilliant concept thats well executed with one exception. This system has a major design flaw that seems to be ignored by Corsair. The water cooling pump is producing a constant intrusive audible ticking noise that defies the point of purchasing a silent system. This issue is apparent in the forums as well as some of the amazon reviews. Unfortunately, I am experiencing this issue first hand. With that being said, I have not contacted Corsair because there is no sign of resolution. Several folks that exchanged their systems only to receive replacement units that produce similar noises. Why would I want to go through all the trouble to receive another noisy system? Why isn’t Corsair being transparent about this major design flaw? What are you doing to address the issue? Did your QA department perform proper root cause analysis to bracket the defective noisy pumps, use proper root cause analysis tools to identify the failure mode and implement proper corrective and preventive actions? It’s a shame that you have a brilliant concept but due to poor quality assurance your concept continues to exhibit the same failure mode, model after model, year after years of production. Corsair, make this right if you want to keep growing. For now, I will just have to turn up my music to drown the ticking. PS. Where’s my free COD copy that’s part of the nvidia promotion? Okay fine, no biggie.

I wanted a replacement for my 8 year old HP Envy which had a respectable 3GB AMD Radeon video card. I wanted something to last as long and be able to play modern gaming titles at 4k or close to it. It has been amazing so far, super fast, love the lack of noise (it's super quiet), and it performs amazingly. Some of the initial software is annoying but you can either get through it and put up with it ( i did) or just do a fresh re-install. The video card is .... extraordinary as the whole setup is. Better for be for $3,500. Can you get much cheaper - YES. If value is your goal, go somewhere else. if you want an adult super performing PC with no Vegas style lights, this is it.

Very power, stays very cool, even under load I can’t really hear it at all. Very clean system I-16r model. I’ve had to deal with Corsair support before I got this system and I got this system because they are soo great to deal with

Meets all specs, as promoted.... very fast, very quiet and very reliable. Very positive experience with Corsair!
