deleting my previous statement. Corsair reached out to me, which was a huge, pleasant surprise. I don't want to go into details, other than to say that they went far to make amends, and did so in a very friendly manner.

The idea the Corsair boss was conveying to investors was that Q1 2021 figures were somewhat special due to stimulus checks, lock-downs, and work-from-home demand. Many other tech companies experienced a boom, as folks were stuck at home needing to work and desperate for quality entertainment.

least they understand this.
EKWB on otherhand seem to not udnerstand that past yr was a special case.

Forget the GPU market, it's the CPU market that drives Corsair's sales. If people can't afford or obtain new CPUs they want, they don't need to buy a new CPU cooler or RAM, or even a new case.

I'd love to buy a Corsair H150i, but with AMD refusing to drop the 5950X below $500 WHERE IT SHOULD BE, there's no reason for me to upgrade my cooler.

Personally, I have 0 sympathy for them as anyone who charges as much of a premium as corsair is bound to see a retraction in profits. I mean can get same quality, warranty and performance from much cheaper brands! ICue is a joke too half the time it bugs out, especially after updates, not to mention they are proprietary so your forced to use only corsair which is just anti-consumer imho, This is just my opinion of course.
