In this review of the Corsair / Origin Genesis Pre-Built Gaming PC with an RTX 5090, we're tearing down the computer, running a cost comparison, benchmarking thermals, acoustics, power, and frequency, and looking at the overall build quality. Unfortunately for Origin and Corsair (which owns Origin), this build is another that fails in our testing. The GPU hits 100 degrees Celsius for the memory not because of the FE design, but because Origin decided to have fans follow liquid and pump temperatures and not spin them for several minutes of load. There are numerous other issues as well, such as discoloration of the tubing that has contacted the coolant.
The * asterisk is because the price changes regularly. We have no idea what it's supposed to be. It was $6050 (or $6500 after taxes), then the updated model with different tubes and case, but sometimes have discounts and sometimes don't.
