Corsair's liquid CPU and GPU cooling technology condenses true 4K gaming performance into a compact, quiet, living-room ready Bulldog PC
Corsair, PC gaming hardware leader, today at Computex 2015 in Taipei, unveiled Bulldog, the first DIY PC built exclusively to bring the vivid immersion of 4K gaming to the living room. Composed of a DIY kit with a stylish gaming console-sized chassis, liquid CPU cooler, power supply, and motherboard, and designed with plenty of space for customization and upgrades, Bulldog provides the foundation for users to build the ultimate living room PC. An early version of Bulldog is on display at Computex, with availability expected in early Q4.
"Bulldog is designed to take the 4K gaming experience delivered by desktop gaming PCs, and bring it to big 4K screens in the home," said Andy Paul, CEO of Corsair Components. "We knew we needed to deliver a solution that was elegant, powerful, and compact. By leveraging our leading expertise in PC case design and liquid cooling, we met that goal with Bulldog. We can't wait to unleash it on gamers this fall."
With the increasing affordability of 4K TVs and the arrival of new NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards, PCs are now poised to deliver the definitive gaming experience in 4K, far beyond the 1080P limitation of current game consoles and most Steam Machines. However, 4K-capable PCs require a lot of power and run hot when pushed, throttling down performance and becoming excessively loud as the stock fans struggle to cool the CPU and graphics card.
Corsair engineered Bulldog to make the device run cooler and quieter, with a dedicated liquid cooler for the CPU, and an optional GPU liquid cooling kit available separately. Both the included Hydro Series H5SF liquid CPU cooler and an HG10-equipped graphics card allow users to simultaneously overclock both components, giving the system the potential to run faster - and quieter - than a conventional desktop gaming PC. In addition, Corsair has partnered with NVIDIA and MSI to integrate Corsair liquid cooling technology into GeForce graphics cards. The cards will be made available by MSI and will include initially include the GeForce GTX Titan X, GTX 980, GTX 970, and the just announced GeForce GTX 980 Ti.
Key features:
Chassis - The Bulldog provides a highly ventilated, compact console design.
SFX power supply - Offers high-efficiency 600 watts of power in standard SFX12V form factor that runs smooth and quiet.
Mini-ITX motherboard - Supports the latest multi-core desktop PC CPUs.
Hydro Series H5SF small form factor liquid CPU cooler - Quietly cools the fastest CPUs while exhausting heat from the chassis
The Bulldog is will be priced at US $399. Drop-in ready liquid-cooled graphics cards will be announced soon. Upgrade kits with a Hydro Series H55 liquid cooler and HG10 graphics card cooling bracket will be available for US $99.
Also announced at Computex with Bulldog is Lapdog, Corsair's portable gaming control center that brings the precision of desktop gaming to the living room. Wired for maximum performance, Lapdog is a lapboard that features a large mouse mat area and keyboard dock for Corsair mechanical gaming keyboards. It has a 7"x11" mouse mat area, powered USB hub for keyboard, mouse, headset, game controllers and flash drives, and a memory foam underside for comfort. The Lapdog is available as a standalone station for US $89 or complete with keyboard for US $199.
Bulldog and Lapdog are slated for release in Q4 of 2015, with the official launch dates to be announced soon.
