System builder iBuyPower is an old hand at putting together gaming PCs. So it’s well aware that not all gamers are the same and some want a gaming machine that can also handle more serious tasks. Thus, the Gaming RDY SLMBG218 (really trips off the tongue that one) bucks the trend of focusing on the graphics card, and instead goes big on processing power, electing to give Intel’s Core i7 12700F room to show off.

If you’re not bang up to date with your Intel processor generations, then it’s worth highlighting what the Core i7 12700F actually is. As the naming suggests, this is a 12th-generation Intel processor, which utilizes Intel’s Alder Lake hybrid architecture. You’re looking at eight Performance cores working alongside four Efficient cores for a total of 20 threads.

The Core i7 12700F is a bit of a beast when it comes to serious work basically. Throw in the fact that it has a Max Turbo of 4.9GHz and you’re looking at an impressive chip for gaming too.

As I said in the introduction, if you’re looking for a gaming machine that is a cut above the norm when it comes to raw processing power, then this is certainly the kind of system that should pique your interest. The fact that iBuyPower has coupled this with 16GB of DDR4-3200 and a healthy 1TB NVMe SSD gives you a strong base for plenty of applications. Admittedly, the WD_Blue SN570 is only a PCIe 3.0 drive, but I’d rather have a slightly slower 1TB SSD than a faster 500GB model, just because so many games are massive these days.

iBuyPower Gaming RDY SLMBG218 Specs

This machine is definitely capable when it comes to gaming as well, although not quite to the same level as some similar-priced systems. The far more performant RTX 3060 Ti is generally available at this sort of price, and if you’re prepared to put in a bit of time and effort, then you can grab the NZXT BLD Kit with an RTX 3070 for as much as this.

It’s worth noting that you won’t get quite as powerful a CPU for your money from such machines, just be aware of the sacrifice you’re making.

iBuyPower agreed to ship the machine over to the UK for testing, and there’s an obvious fear here of the PC being damaged in transit though. In order to mitigate this it elected to not install the graphics card for delivery—a reasonable thing to allow given that graphics cards are getting heavier and shipping them can be a worrying experience. You don’t want a graphics card to come loose in transit and bounce around the inside of your case.

Actually installing the RTX 3060 isn’t difficult, anyways, and even if you’ve never done this yourself, you wouldn’t have too much trouble here. The retaining screws for the graphics card are in place and you’ll need to take these out before slotting the card into place. In other words, this isn’t a tool-free job, and maybe not what you’d expect when buying a new machine, but honestly, you’d have trouble really getting this wrong if iBuyPower decided to do this across the US, too.

Even with internal packing in the machine itself, one of the RAM sticks had still managed to shift in transit, however, meaning that at first boot only 8GB was visible. A quick reseat sorted this out though and once done the full 16GB was visible to Windows. You have the option of upgrading this to 32GB if you’re into some serious number crunching, but 16GB really should be enough for most normal work, and certainly enough for gaming.

Gaming benchmarks

As I previously mentioned the RTX 3060 is fine for 1080p gaming, but at this sort of price point, you’d expect 1440p to be a realistic focus. Unfortunately, you’re going to struggle with plenty of games at this resolution, particularly if you want to just ramp everything to the top settings. You can game on this machine, don’t get me wrong, but there are better options if that’s your main focus.

Metro Exodus Enhanced, for instance, averages out at 40fps, which isn’t really smooth enough for my tastes and won’t let you make the most of a high refresh rate monitor. Given the ABS Master and Build Redux ‘Good’ cost about the same but come packing RTX 3060 Ti graphics cards, and that will offer much smoother frame rates up into the mid-50s.

F1 22 manages just 34fps in ultra settings, too. You’ll hit smoother frame rates in the likes of Hitman 3 and Far Cry 6, but overall I’d much prefer a faster GPU than a super meaty CPU at this price point. The 3DMark Time Spy Extreme benchmark shows that there is power there for the games that are CPU bound, but the vast majority of titles thrash your graphics card more than your processor.

System performance

(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)(Image credit: Future)

The real standout performance from this machine compared to similarly priced systems is the Cinebench R23 multithreaded score. It’s almost double what you’ll usually find at this price point, at 20,740 points. The likes of the Build Redux ‘Good’ and ABS Master both use the 12th Gen Core i5, scoring just over 12,000 by comparison.

This raw processor performance translates into higher memory throughput as well, with the AIDA 64 posting nearly 47GB/s. Again that’s notably better than those two Core i5 machines, despite ostensibly using the same DDR4-3200 RAM. The drive performance is also better, with this machine posts a better result from the 3DMark Storage Benchmark than even the NZXT Streaming Plus BLD Kit, which has the exact same SN570 SSD. Ah, the power of a good CPU.

(Image credit: Future)

Still, iBuyPower has put together a solid machine here, and it clearly knows what it is doing. Component selection is good, and the build quality is reliable. It also comes with a keyboard and mouse, although to be honest, neither is particularly good.

The case isn’t going to be for everyone either, with glass front panels feeling a bit dated as the industry moves over to mesh-fronted systems for their better airflow. This machine does have three front fans to help drive air through the system, and a rear exhaust too, resulting in the Core i7 topping out at just 73°C, which is impressive given how powerful it is.

If you need some serious processing grunt with a side interest in gaming, then the iBuyPower Gaming RDY is certainly worth considering. Most gamers would be better served by a switch in focus though, or for the machine to ship with an RTX 3060 Ti at least. The good news is that iBuyPower does let you build your perfect machine from scratch, so if you do want a more powerful GPU alongside your CPU, then it can absolutely build just that (for a little extra cash).

Alan has been writing about PC tech since before 3D graphics cards existed, and still vividly recalls having to fight with MS-DOS just to get games to load. He fondly remembers the killer combo of a Matrox Millenium and 3dfx Voodoo, and seeing Lara Croft in 3D for the first time. He’s very glad hardware has advanced as much as it has though, and is particularly happy when putting the latest M.2 NVMe SSDs, AMD processors, and laptops through their paces. He has a long-lasting Magic: The Gathering obsession but limits this to MTG Arena these days.

Corsair One a200 gaming PC review

Our Verdict

Corsair delivers a welcome burst of gaming performance to its compact gaming PCs with the a200, bringing the best of AMD Ryzen and Nvidia GeForce into a single, compact machine.

For

Unfettered performance for 4K gaming
Simple and easy to set-up
Superb silicon
Surprisingly quiet

Against

CPU runs a little too hot for my liking
Not as easily upgradeable as some Mini-ITX cases

PC Gamer’s got your back
Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you. Find out more about how we evaluate games and hardware.

Corsair bucks the trend with many of its pre-built PCs, instead offering a high-performance package in a diminutive and compact case where many would opt for a more standard mid-tower. The Corsair One a200 is no less an exciting proposition, bringing together the latest AMD Ryzen and Nvidia GeForce technology in a surprisingly neat and well-managed package no bigger than a bread bin.

If you’re familiar with Corsair’s compact One lineup, you’ll know that looks can be deceiving. This isn’t Corsair’s first attempt at a compact gaming PC, and we’ve previously ranked its compact machines as some of the best gaming PCs going, small form factor or not. Being only 20 x 17.3 x 38cm in size seemingly has very little impact on these PCs’ performance—the new and improved a200’s specs list is every bit as mouth-watering as it should be.

That all starts with the a200’s AMD Ryzen 9 5900X CPU, which is powered by the highly-successful and well-rated Zen 3 architecture. It’s a 12-core/24-thread chip with plenty of grunt, rated to 3.7GHz at its worst and 4.8GHz at its best. Since it’s our top pick for the best CPU for gaming today, I expected a lot out of it even before getting the a200 out of the box.

Corsair One a200 specs

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080
Memory: 32GB DDR4 @ 3200MT/s
Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
Front I/O: 1x 3.5mm audio jack, 2x USB 3.2 Gen 1, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C.
Rear I/O: 2x USB 3.2 Gen 2 (Type-A and Type-C), 4x USB 3.2 Gen 1, audio ports, 2.5G ethernet, 3.x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI
Connectivity: Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, LAN
PSU: 750W SFX 80 Plus Platinum
Dimensions: 200mm x 172.5mm x 380mm
Price: $3,800 / £3,300

Playing the supporting role for this performant package is 32GB DDR4-3200 memory. That’s loaded into a bespoke motherboard with B550 chipset alongside a 1TB NVMe SSD of Corsair’s own design, the Corsair Force MP600. That’s a PCIe 4.0 drive, too, for faster load times and transfer speeds.

The recent introduction of SFX PSUs capable of driving over 1000W has helped cement the concept that a small form factor PC can also be a high performance one. Yet even the compact a200’s 750W SFX PSU offers enough wattage for a commanding PC build. Efficient wattage, too, rated to 80 Plus Platinum.

Crucially for our gaming needs that 750W PSU is enough to give the a200 surreptitious command over an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080. Coming in as our favourite graphics cards today, we couldn’t ask for much more from the Corsair One. Without anything holding it back, the RTX 3080 makes quick work of 4K and 1440p.

And I’m pleased to report that nothing is seemingly holding it back.

In Metro Exodus at 4K, the Corsair One manages to stay abreast of our desktop Founders Edition RTX 3080. No small feat for such a tiny machine. It’s only negligibly slower than our desktop test bench in Horizon Zero Dawn, too.

What that means for the actual gaming performance is 60fps or more at 4K in some of today’s latest games, which is what you might expect from these parts on paper, but perhaps not so much from the form factor.

Perhaps the key to the a200 puzzle lies with its thermal performance. When so much of CPU and GPU performance now lies with thermal headroom, increasingly so with Zen 3 and Ampere, it is also increasingly important to over-spec your thermal solution to hit max performance potential. Thankfully, the a200 does just that, allowing the CPU and GPU to deliver their best in line with less confined desktop parts.

That’s by and large thanks to the twin liquid cooling solution of Corsair’s design. Both CPU and GPU are liquid-cooled, independently of one another, with each component’s respective radiator located on either side of the PC’s case. Fresh, cool air is then whipped up past either radiator through the use of a single fan located at the top of the PC.

The result is a max GPU temp during benchmarking of 69°C, the envy of even some discrete desktop coolers. The max CPU temp may not spark quite so much envy, however, coming in at 91°C. That’s notably within AMD’s thermal spec, but also in excess of usual operating temperatures for such a chip with a reasonably chunky liquid cooler.

The single system fan also has to work hard at times to keep the PC operating comfortably, which means it can get quite loud under load. That said, it is a single-fan system, which is notably quieter than some desktop builds I’ve had with four or five fans all running on an identical fan curve.

Simplicity and usability, though, are something that Corsair can deliver in swathes with the a200. The ports are within easy reach on the rear of the machine, and there’s a handy USB Type-C port on the front to make life just that much easier. The innards can also be exposed through the top, too, which means you could access the SSD or RAM if you fancied a shakeup.

I’m coming away impressed from Corsair’s latest small form factor PC.

You could even access the GPU and CPU blocks if you so wished, although finding compatible boards with the current cooling solution may be a bit of a struggle.

Then to the overall aesthetics of the Corsair One and the a200 is quiet tame for a gaming all-in-one, it must be said. There’s just two addressable lighting strips extending nearly the entire length of the machine, which is some miracle. Its smart exterior would definitely fit the role of powerful workstation in a pinch, too.

So I’m coming away impressed from Corsair’s latest small form factor PC, especially now that it’s running with the latest cutting-edge technology. It’s clearly a well thought out gaming PC and designed with the user in mind. By its nature, it’s more restrictive for future upgrades than some other small form factor cases, but it’s nonetheless a brilliant machine for today.
