Corsair Gaming, Inc.?is an American?computer peripherals?and hardware company based in?Milpitas, California.?Previously?Corsair Components?and?Corsair Memory,?it was incorporated in California in January 1994 as?Corsair Microsystems?and reincorporated in?Delaware?in 2007. It designs and sells a range of computer products, including high-speed?DRAM?modules,?ATX power supplies?(PSUs),?USB flash drives?(UFDs),?CPU/GPU?and case cooling, gaming peripherals (such as?keyboards?and?computer mice), computer cases,?solid-state drives?(SSDs), and speakers.

It trades under the ticker symbol CRSR on the?NASDAQ?stock exchange. Lockdown orders associated with the?COVID-19 pandemic, and a rise in demand for computing equipment, including the computer gaming sector, led to a significant short-term increase in Corsair's revenue.
The company was founded as Corsair Microsystems Inc. in 1994 by Andy Paul, Don Lieberman, and John Beekley. Corsair originally developed?level 2 cache modules, called?cache on a stick?(COASt) modules, for?OEMs. After Intel incorporated the L2 cache in the processor with the release of its?Pentium Pro?processor family, Corsair changed its focus to?DRAM?modules, primarily in the server market. This effort was led by Richard Hashim, one of the early employees at Corsair. In 2002, Corsair began shipping DRAM modules that were designed to appeal to computer enthusiasts, who were using them for?overclocking. Since then, Corsair has continued to produce memory modules for PCs, and has added other PC components as well.Corsair expanded its DRAM memory module production into the high end market for overclocking.This expansion allows for high power platforms and the ability to get more performance out of the CPU and RAM. The Corsair Vengeance Pro series and Corsair Dominator Platinum series are built for overclocking applications.
