Corsair Vengeance i7500 Review: A Powerhouse of Performance and Design
Corsair's Vengeance i7500 gaming desktop, priced at $3,799.99, emerges as a preconfigured powerhouse that rivals custom-built PCs. It blends high-end components like the Intel Core i9-14900K and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090, ensuring its status as one of the best gaming PCs on the market. With its extended standard warranty and top-tier performance, the Vengeance i7500 stands out in the crowded field of prebuilt gaming desktops.
Design: Custom-Built Aesthetic with Corsair's Touch
The Vengeance i7500, housed in Corsair's Vengeance 4000D mid-tower case, exudes a custom-built feel. It features three 120mm RGB fans at the front and another at the rear, all customizable via the Corsair iCue app. The app offers limitless control over lighting effects, syncing with other iCue devices for a cohesive visual experience.
The top of the tower sports two 120mm fans from the Corsair iCue H100i RGB Elite 240mm CPU cooler, adding to the visual appeal. The case is designed with practicality in mind, featuring removable and washable dust filters for easy maintenance. The tinted side glass showcases the internal components, including the RGB RAM, without overwhelming the design with excessive lighting.
GPU Lighting and Tower Dimensions
Our review unit's RTX 4090, a Palit-brand GameRock OmniBlack model, lacked RGB lighting, a surprising omission given the GPU's prominence. The exact GPU model may vary, with some potentially featuring RGB lighting. The Vengeance i7500's dimensions (9.1 x 17.8 x 18.3 inches) make it a sizeable mid-tower, compared to competitors like the Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 8 and the Alienware Aurora R16.
Ports and Upgradeability
The Vengeance i7500 is generous with its port selection, featuring USB 3.2 ports and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack on the front. The MSI PRO Z790-P WiFi motherboard offers a plethora of USB ports, legacy PS/2, Ethernet, audio jacks, and HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, along with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 support. The RTX 4090 adds additional HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
Interior Design and Component Access
Accessing the components is straightforward, thanks to easily removable side panels with thumbscrews. The spacious main compartment and the MSI motherboard's four DDR5 DIMM slots and four M.2 slots provide ample upgrade opportunities. The primary M.2 slot, located beneath the CPU waterblock, is equipped with a heatsink for optimal thermal management. Corsair's attention to detail is evident in the tidy cable routing and the use of a modern 16-pin 12VHPWR cable for the RTX 4090.

Storage Expansion and Power Supply
On the opposite side of the tower, users will find two 2.5-inch bays behind the motherboard tray and two 3.5-inch bays near the power supply. The power supply itself is a fully modular Corsair RM1000e, capable of delivering up to 1,000 watts, with neatly bundled cables to maintain a clean aesthetic.
Conclusion: Corsair Vengeance i7500 as a Top Gaming Choice
The Corsair Vengeance i7500 stands as a formidable contender in the realm of prebuilt gaming PCs. Its blend of high-performance components, custom-built feel, and thoughtful design touches like effective cooling and a comprehensive port selection make it a top choice for gamers seeking a powerful, ready-to-use system.
