$6600 Nightmare Prebuilt Gaming PC - Corsair & Origin Genesis Review

Until 2/27/23, we're donating 10% of GN store revenue to the Kramden Institute - grab an item here: https://store.gamersnexus.net/ (Kramden Institute is a local-to-us e-waste recycling and technology education facility. We love working with them and have a lot of respect for what they do for this industry.

Or back-order the next wave of popular Modmats! https://store.gamersnexus.net/product...

Quick note: At ~25 minutes for the conclusion, the source for the messages got flipped -- it should read "Corsair to GamersNexus" and "GamersNexus to Corsair" in opposite. The context is obviously super clear in the video but the direction of conversation is wrong in text.

In this review, we're benchmarking the Origin Genesis ~$6000 pre-built gaming computer with full custom loop water cooling. Origin is owned by Corsair, and the pre-built we're reviewing uses a mixture of Corsair components with boards from other brands. Its main problems include incorrect CPU configuration that costs over 20% of the native performance, bad fan speed configuration, bad custom paint job, and more. On the upside, the cable management is very impressive -- we'll have a separate tear-down showing some of that.
