Perfect

Let me be clear this machine is fantastic for the price I got it at since I got it on sale for basically 1000 off so for that money you wouldn’t be able to build a rig with the same specs for that amount and yes I checked and mind you this is when I bought it prices change on pc parts a lot the time so it might be different at your time of reading this but this thing is packed with power and I love it

Satisfied

PC is absolutely beautiful. Initially bought for convenience. Did not want to spend my time troubleshooting and maintaining a tower. 35 days after purchase the psu went out. Called Corsair support for assistance. After some light troubleshooting we started the replacement process. It took one week to get the replacement unit (I live in Tokyo). Overall very happy with the computer and Corsair.

Bragging Rights Abound

This is the most expensive online purchase I have ever made, a gift for my gamer son. He was thunderstruck. It is very small compared to his previous gaming computer, but much more powerful. It has made him the envy of his online and real time friends, and I am Mother of the Year.

Great computer, at a high price.

Great performance.It manages to stay very quiet under low to medium load, however it gets a little loud at bigger workloads.My only negative on this product is the price, it’s a little high for most people, but if you can afford it it’s great.

Very Powerful, but Very Quiet, Gaming Computer

I’ve built my own gaming PCs for years. But when it came time to replace my current rig, lack of time and inclination prompted me to look at prebuilt systems. I didn’t want to sacrifice on power, but I wanted something smaller and more compact than a typical gaming tower. And I also hoped to find something that didn’t sound like a vacuum cleaner when under load. Powerful, yet small and quiet, are very tough specs, so I spent several weeks looking at reviews before settling on the Corsair One i160. Best decision I’ve made in awhile!Size and Aesthetics – The Corsair One i160 is much smaller than I expected. It’s only slightly taller than the packaging for a typical graphics card. Fits easily on my desk. And while aesthetics are entirely subjective, I like the look. The chassis is black-colored aluminum and looks professional and feels very solid; the fit and finish is top-notch overall. Even the perforations on the side panels, which are a functional part of the cooling system, are more than just a simple grate; the designers actually gave some thought to what they look like from the outside. The black etched Corsair One logo on the front is subtle, as are the two RGB LED strips on either side of the front panel; the color(s) are configurable (or turned off completely) through Corsair’s iCue software. This isn’t a typical “electronics aquarium” gaming rig; it would fit comfortably into any office environment. In construction and looks, it’s probably as close to a Mac as you’re likely to find in a PC.Performance – This is a seriously powerful computer. Out of the box, it can compete with anything of comparable specs. For comparison, I’m getting consistent 90-100 FPS in Far Cry 5 and Battlefield V, both on ultra settings, at 3440 x 1440. I’m not doing any over-clocking and don’t plan to – nor do I need to. Had I opted to built a new gaming rig, this is the performance I would hope for.Heat and Noise – The performance is no real surprise given these components. But the thermals and acoustics, given these components, are pretty amazing. The design employs a unique convection cooling system: the CPU and GPU are housed in separate compartments on either side of the case and both are water cooled; the aluminum side panels are perforated to draw air through attached internal radiators; the only case fan is a 140mm exhaust fan at the top of the chassis, which draws outside air through the side radiators, through interior of the case and out the top. It works incredibly well. The GPU in mine tops out around 54C under full load; the CPU at around 59C. Heat simply isn’t an issue.And, impressively, neither is noise. The water pumps make a slight noise that I can hear only with my ear near the unit. The fan at the top of the case is a variable-speed (PWM) model and runs at 0-1500 RPM. The fan doesn’t spin at all until either the CPU or GPU hits ~41C and then gradually and smoothly ramps up as temperatures increase; it doesn’t hit full throttle until the CPU/GPU are at or near full load, which happens only during heavy usage (like a graphics-intensive game). Noise is another thing that is largely subjective, but my machine is virtually silent during normal usage (web browsing, word processing, even light gaming). I only really notice the fan when it hits full speed, and even then it’s more a low rumble than a high-pitched whine and blends into the ambient noise in my office. I don’t wear headphones and the fan noise is usually masked just by the sound from whatever game I’m playing. The machine is not absolutely silent – no computer this powerful could be – but it could challenge any “quiet” design of comparable specs.Cons – One might have hoped for Thunderbolt support. And the main storage drive is a 2 TB 5400 RPM HDD; a 1 or 2 TB SSD would be preferable. And some might prefer 64GB RAM instead of “only” 32GB. But those are relative nits. Probably the biggest downside to this design is the limited upgradeability; Corsair has managed to wedge a bunch of components into a very tight package. The HDD and RAM are easily replaced; the CPU also is easily accessed; and even the motherboard could be replaced by someone with some experience (and patience). But upgrading the GPU would be a major chore and probably could not utilize the existing water cooler assembly. But that’s just a necessary trade-off for a proprietary design of this sophistication. And the components in the i160 are all top-of-the-line and should remain plenty capable for quite some time.Overall, I’m very pleased and seriously impressed with the Corsair One i160. After years of having hulking gaming towers stowed under and around my desk, it’s refreshing (and a bit amazing) to have this much computing power actually on top of my desk!

A powerful PC with a console like design

Pro:- solid build quality- silent- very powerful PC- beautiful and sleek console design. Blends in nicely with my home theatreCon- very expensive- bundle software is a buggy mess. May need to do a fresh windows 10 install.

Beast of a machine

I was overwhelmed by the many gaming PC websites out there. I’d start a purchase flow and then get flooded with tons of upgrade options.Then I came across the Corsair One, and after reading reviews, I decide it’s exactly what I was looking for.Incredibly compact, sleek, and attractive. Ridiculously powerful without any need to get paralyzed by tinkering with random upgrades.Got this along with an Asus ROG 240hz, and playing Fortnite and Apex Legends at maxed out settings is just epic.Very happy with the purchase so far, and feel confident that this machine is going to hold up for a long time to come.

Great workstation and gaming PC

My custom gaming PC’s Intel CPU (6850k) decided to die. Unfortunately it is difficult to source PC parts during the COVID-19 pandemic, so I decided to try out this corsair gaming PC. I upgraded the cooling and replaced the 140mm 1.5k RPM fan with a 2k RPM fan from corsair. It brought the temperatures down by about 10 degrees Fahrenheit. I was also able to replace the 2TB 5400 RPM seagate drive with a Samsung EVO SSD and added a third Samsung EVO SSD (make sure you use rubber spacers). Lastly I added a TPM 2.0 chip and some additional RGB lighting (why not?). This should hold me over until more PC parts become available on the market. I plan on using the 1080ti’s from my dead gaming PC to build two additional Ryzen workstations later this year.

Worth it.

The computer is excellent. My only grip is that the HDMI cable is located at the front. But it has more than enough Display Ports at the back. Besides the power house specs it is really quiet and will only here the fans when you’re doing intense activities on it such as rendering or gaming. Even then it isn’t really loud, loud enough you’ll notice the fans but not so loud they are a distraction and noisy.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING

Best $4k I’ve ever spent. If you like video games at their very best, this machine should be your #1 goal in life.

Cutting edge gaming machine

A solid device, very well built. Fairly quiet, and it doesn’t take much space on the desk.
