Introducing CORSAIR INSIDER

PC building has come a long way and we love to see how people’s creativity and ingenuity have created monstrous water-cooled beasts, slim minimalistic designs, and RGB dream simulators. Although not all of us aspire to create a PC that extreme, it’s the words and wisdom of these specialists that aid us with our own humble builds. Within our communities, a few of these standout members have shown themselves to be especially supportive of others, highly critical of our products, and particularly talented in their ability to build PCs. We want to provide those members of the community with our support to help them cultivate a space for PC builders new and old and help show off the best of what the hobby has to offer.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A CORSAIR INSIDER?

Being an INSIDER starts with being a part of our community. Being active on our Reddit and Discord are great places to start, but showing interest in other PC enthusiast circles is important too. Don’t be afraid to chime in during a spirited discussion, post about something cool you did, or help others just getting their start. We’re looking for people who have shown interest in the hobby over time, shared their personal projects, and helped others. This is just an outline for potential INSIDERS who will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to join our program.

Applications are closed at the moment, but continued community contributions are really the core of INSIDERS. Keep posting and building so we can see how you're helping your community the next time applications are open. Keep an eye out on our socials to know as soon as those open up.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BEING A CORSAIR INSIDER?

Being an INSIDER means getting first dibs on some of our latest gear. INSIDERS will be on the inside track, getting to sample our new products ahead of the general public. This doesn’t stop them from sharing negative opinions or using equipment from our competitors, but it will allow them to play with the latest and greatest PC hardware while helping them make a more informed comparison. INSIDERS also have a direct line to CORSAIR staff, both to advocate on behalf of the entire community and to help us identify the strengths and weakness of upcoming products.

These members will be identified on Reddit and Discord with a special tag, acknowledging their expertise. This will separate them from others so that new members can know who to trust and lean on when they need help.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO AS AN INSIDER?

INSIDERS will be expected to continue doing what they do best: build awesome PCs and be an active part of our Reddit community. We expect INSIDERS to create content around the products provided to them in order to share their experiences with curious minds. This could mean showing off our new iCUE LINK fans in a build with minimal cable management, a blog post talking about their personal experience with our new MGX key switches, or a build video of custom DRAM tops for CORSAIR DOMINATOR TITANIUM memory. As we continue to develop new products, we expect these kinds of posts to continue alongside general community involvement. INSIDERS are going to become experts in CORSAIR hardware and software, so we expect them to use that knowledge to help those in need.

We’re excited to start the INSIDER program with handful of our long-standing community members from various channels.
