CES 2015 – Corsair Announces New Products
CES 2015 Corsair Announces New Products
Today, Legit Reviews was invited to meet with Corsair to see some of their latest products, many of which are being announced today. Many of these new products will be available by the end of the first quarter 2015, while the Carbide 100R is in the 2nd quarter.
Cases
Carbide 100R
Continuing Corsairs award winning case line-up, they are introducing a new case to the Carbide family. The new Carbide 100R mid-tower is geared towards the budget minded consumer, without giving that “low cost” look. It includes features commonly found on more expensive cases, include built-in SSD mounts, dual SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, cable management features, and tool-free drive mounts. Corsair didn’t cut corners for cooling features either, the Carbide 100R includes space for five fans, 2x 140/120mm (Front), 2x 120mm (Top), 1x 120mm (Rear); the rear 120mm fan is included.
Two models of the Carbide 100R will be available, the standard model will feature side panel window and top cooling vents, while the Silent edition includes a sound dampening material on a solid side and top panel.

The Carbide 100R will be available for purchase in the 2nd quarter of 2015 with a 2 year warranty.
Liquid Coolers
H110i GT CPU Liquid Cooler
Updating the H110 GPU Liquid Cooler is no easy task, however Corsair has done it. The H110i GT is a self-contained AIO GPU Cooler, with a 140 x 322 x 27mm aluminum radiator and includes two SP140L 140mm fans. Corsair Link support is included that allows monitoring and customization of logo lighting, fan and pump speed.
The H110i GT also has a next generation high-efficiency cooling block that features a new design and logo. It will be interesting to see what kind of performance difference there is between the old H110 and the H110i GT with the new cooling block.
The Corsair H110i GTP CPU liquid cooler will be available in February 2015 with 5 year warranty. It has a suggested retail price of $129.99.
HG10 N780 NVIDIA 700 Series GPU Cooler
Corsair is updating the HG10 GPU cooler to support NVIDIA 700 series video cards. The new N780 GPU liquid cooling bracket allows connecting a Hydro series CPU liquid cooler to a NVIDIA GTX 770, GTX 780, GTX 780Ti, Titan and Titan Black video cards (see Corsair.com for full compatibility list).
Corsair says that with the right Hydro CPU cooler, the N780 will cool the GPU by up to 45 degrees Celsius when compared to the reference cooler. This does not take into account the advanced GPU coolers some manufacturers install on their video cards. The N780 will not only cool the GPU but also the VRAM and VRMs
The HG10 N780 will be available in February 2015, and comes with a 2 year warranty. The suggested retail price is $39.99.
Power Supply
HX1200i 1200W
The latest addition to Corsair’s award winning XHi power supply line-up is the HX1200i. It continues the high efficiency of the previous models with an 80 Plus Platinum rating (92% efficiency or better) but boosts the power to 1200W! It features a fully modular flat ribbon cable design with Corsair Link compatibility to monitor efficiency, voltages, power output, temperature and fan speed. With Corsair Link, advanced users can also adjust the power rail mode and fan speed manually (from 0RPM to full speed).
The HX1200i will be available for purchase in February 2015 with a 7 year warranty, and has a suggested retail price of $269.99.
