CORSAIR’S REFINED racer-style chair is not going to have you remortgaging for the privilege of sitting in it. If you’re happy to make a couple of sacrifices, this is a good contender for the best cheap gaming chair. The Corsair T3 Rush had been keeping us going on the side of affordable gaming chairs, so I was expecting great things from this new addition to the ecosystem. I’ve not been disappointed.
In a lot of ways, the TC100 and T3 chairs are highly comparable, not least in their simple colourway and 160 degree recline. But the main thing to point out is the price difference. At $70 less than the T3, you expect some compromise from the TC100, but I have yet to discern how Corsair has managed to drop the price so much and for essentially more chair.
It’s a little shorter, with an 81cm backrest, but instead of tall, the TC100 Relaxed goes broad. It has got a wider backrest, more cushion in the seat, and gentler side cushion angles for those thick thighs, hence the “relaxed” nomenclature.
Those of us on the stockier side had no trouble sitting in it at the office, and I’m not constantly fighting to reach the headrest, since I’m not the tallest out there. I’ve never been a huge fan of Corsair headrest attachments, though. The straps are very short, and while slotting them through the two backrest holes might sound practical, it means you’re limited when it comes to adjustability. Those pushing 6’2” will need to reconsider their options, but the headrest and accompanying cushions are comfy enough, and are included with the chair.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
