Corsair Labs: System Builds

Those crazy guys down in the Corsair Labs. Usually they can be found subjecting Corsair products to a frightening array of torture tests to ensure legendary Corsair reliability and performance. But in the course of those activities, they manage to come up with some pretty neat system builds, overclocking techniques and innovative ways to push system performance. Here are their latest efforts and links where you can see the system build log or discuss these builds in the Forums.

The Corsair Nautilus500 Liquid Cooling Unit is one of the easiest to install because of its unique modular design and snap on connectors. But everyone likes to have someone show them the ropes. But of equal interest in this build, the Corsair Lab Guys make a good case for why you SHOULD have liquid cooling, and include lots of testing results to back it up.

Corsair's Lab Guys build a system from the ground up, from component selection to overclocking to Windows configuration. This isn’t going a “state of the art” system with liquid nitrogen and car batteries that requires protective eyewear and a good knowledge of spot welding and theoretical chemistry to build. This is something anybody can do with a little bit of patience and some basic knowledge.
