Corsair has revealed that they have acquired custom gaming PC company Origin PC, which specialises in delivering personalised machines, from laptops to desktops.
"With the gaming PC market continuing to expand as an increasing number of players make the jump from console to PC, we wanted to do more to reach customers in North America that prefer to buy, rather than build, their system," said Andy Paul, Founder and CEO of Corsair. "With Origin PC's expertise in personalized custom gaming systems and Corsair's strength in performance PC hardware and the iCUE software ecosystem, we're excited to combine our efforts to create new world-class gaming experiences for PC gamers."
"Corsair is a fantastic partner to help take Origin PC forward, known for creating quality, high-performance products that fully align with Origin PC," adds Kevin Wasielewski, CEO of ORIGIN PC. "With a complete range of enthusiast PC products, Origin PC and Corsair are uniquely placed to create amazing new systems that make the experience of owning a personalized custom gaming PC better than ever."
Corsair iCUE software ecosystems will be integrated into Origin PCs to offer lighting synchronisation and performance monitoring as a part of this, with Corsair Hydro X custom cooling systems also available in other machines. More Corsair and Origin integrations will be revealed soon.
Is this a good deal for both sides?
