CES 2025: principais novidades da Corsair


Corsair
é um nome que muitos facilmente associam a uma vasta gama de acessórios para PCs, otimizando as nossas torres de modo a ter o melhor desempenho possível da fonte de energia à refrigeração, passando pelas caixas em si para todos os gostos. É também uma marca que traz bons periféricos para o mercado e, dentro destas apostas todas, foi através da CES 2025 que vimos o que a marca irá trazer para o mercado este ano!

Um dos grandes destaques para este ano vai para um curioso monitor de uma proporção bem fora do vulgar, um ecrã pequeno, mas bastante horizontal, que serve como uma espécie de monitor adicional para tarefas secundárias! Este é o XENEON EDGE 14.5" LCD Touchscreen (que podem ver em cima), um ecrã tátil com uma resolução de 2560 por 720 píxeis com várias utilidades, desde controlar o nosso sistema a ter um dashboard enquanto estamos com o ecrã completo a jogar, ou até mesmo apresentando um chat enquanto fazemos stream! Com um formato bem compacto, é um monitor que podemos colocar em qualquer parte do nosso setup sem grande alvoroço, que é ligado seja por USB Type-C DP-Alt Mode ou uma simples entrada HDMI.

Vimos também uma atualização nas gamas de caixas para PCs, como a 5000T Series Mid-Tower Case com uma lateral totalmente transparente e disponíveis tanto em preto como branco, com bastantes entradas para ventilação e já preparadas com o Aurora RGB Lightning, ventoinhas LX 120 RGB e um iCue LINK System Hub, ligando tudo (e iluminando também) com pouco esforço. A Corsair aproveitou também para anunciar a caixa FRAME 4000D, a primeira a usar o sistema FRAME Modular Case System que promete uma fácil e versátil configuração da mesma, que através do CORSAIR Inifini Rail Fan Mounting System permite-nos configurar as ventoinhas ao nosso gosto, com uma flexibilidade na sua instalação como nunca antes.


Mas e mais coisas para estas torres? Foi também na CES 2025 que vimos a atualização do lineup de fontes de alimentação da RMe Series, com potências que vão dos 650W aos 1000W, que vêm mesmo a tempo caso estejam inclinados em atualizar os vossos PCs para suportar uma das gráficas NVIDIA da série 50. Falando ainda de PSUs temos uma atualização nas fontes da HXi Series, com potências de 1200W e 1500W para quem tem PCs que necessitam desta quantidade de energia.

Para os fãs da costumização dos seus PCs que procurem tudo e mais alguma coisa para construir mesmo à sua maneira tivemos a CORSAIR Custom Lab DRAM, memórias ram personalizadas com desenhos bastante distintos, indo muito além de simplesmente escolher uma cor RGB para os LEDs. Mas para quem quer apenas potência sem grandes aparatos tivemos o DOMINATOR TITANIUM Wave Accessory Kit, memória DDR5 com um design bastante simples para dar um upgrade aos nossos módulos de memória, com duradouras barras metálicas e LEDs distintos pela sua linha às curvas.

Tivemos ainda o EX400U USB4 External SSD, um disco externo de grande performance capaz de gravar à velocidade de 4,000MB/s, perfeito para edição de vídeo ou outras tarefas que requerem gravar ficheiros bastante pesados, que ligamos simplesmente através de um USB Type-C. Mas foi nesta semana de evento que, resultado da recente aquisição por parte da Corsair, que vimos o ClubSport GT Cockpit da Fanatec, um chassis de condução para os amantes de simuladores de corridas, oferecendo uma imersiva experiência através de uma boa configuração do mesmo. Sem precisar de grandes ferramentas, este cockpit inteiro permite fáceis ajustes e posições dos vários pontos do mesmo, de modo a oferecer a melhor experiência para os jogadores.

Foram estas as principais novidades que a Corsair trouxe para a semana da CES 2025, que veio mesmo a calhar porque subitamente muitos são aqueles que estão a pensar dar um upgrade aos seus PCs. Terminando, seguem-se os comunicados oficiais (em inglês) com ainda mais informação!
