Corsair Vengeance 6182

You’d struggle to find a better all-around AMD build

SINCE THE RELEASE of Ryzen’s secondgen CPUs in 2018, AMD has gained some serious hardware clout. Even so, it’s not often we get our hands on an all-AMD rig. But it’s the third-gen Ryzen CPUs and 5700-series graphics cards that have finally given gamers real choice when it comes to high-end power, and Corsair’s new Vengeance PCs (6180 and 6182) are just the first in what could grow into a healthy ecosystem of AMD-based builds.

There isn’t much difference between the 6180 and 6182 models, so while we’ve reviewed the 6182 here, you can safely expect the same core performance between the two. The only differences are the motherboards, SSD, and price. The 6180 comes with a B540 chipset and 460GB of SSD space, while the 6182 comes with a X570 chipset and 1TB of SSD space. The rest of the specifications are the same—plus or minus a few USB ports—priced at a reasonable $1,899 and $1,999 respectively.

The Vengeance 6182’s dual-chamber case showcases the GPU, RAM, and other flashier components on the tempered glass side with such clarity that you can’t help but be drawn in by the RGB lighting reflecting off the components. The opaque side houses the PSU and other non-eye-candy components.
