Corsair Air 540 & 330R Cases, Vengeance Pro RAM, M30, M40, K50, K65, K70 - Computex 2013

The video provides an in-depth tour of Corsair’s Computex 2013 suite, starting with an overview of the new Air 540 and 330R cases. Linus highlights the Air 540’s distinct airflow path, which clears the interior of obstructions to maximize cooling efficiency while still supporting liquid cooling options like the H100i or H110 radiators. The presentation covers practical design choices, including two front 140mm fans, a magnetically removable dust filter, and a dedicated power supply compartment that keeps noise and cable clutter to a minimum. He also demonstrates the flexibility of the chassis, noting its ability to house up to four graphics cards and its modular drive mounting options, including SSD cages. Throughout, the emphasis remains on how Corsair balances air flow optimization with cooling performance and aesthetic features like Corsair Link illuminated strips and sleeved cables. The second segment shifts to Corsair memory and peripherals, focusing on the Vengeance Pro Series. Linus explains the Haswell-optimized memory modules, available in four colors to match various motherboard aesthetics, including a gold variant designed for Asus gold boards. He showcases the top end production kit running at 3.2 GHz CL11 and explains the importance of DRAM frequency and headroom for overclocking. The discussion also touches on awards won by Corsair Vengeance Pro and how these modules are designed for reliable Haswell compatibility, with demonstrations of the kit in action and commentary on performance expectations. The segment reinforces Corsair’s strategy of combining high performance with visual appeal across both memory and motherboard-friendly aesthetics. In the final portion, Linus covers the K70 keyboard, M30 and M40 mice, and the M60 family of peripherals. The K70 is described as a fully mechanical keyboard with individually backlit keys and a choice of Cherry MX switch types, with color and switch options expanding beyond the K60. He notes the shift from rubber dome switches to mechanical switches for improved durability and responsiveness. The M40, as an evolution of the M65, adds an illuminated logo and retains strong build quality along with an adjustable weight system, while the M30 iteration brings higher DPI and a refreshed grip texture. The summary closes with a wrap on Corsair’s broader Computex lineup, including how the products integrate with Corsair Link for a cohesive PC aesthetic and performance.
