TECH NEWS – The company canceled an order even though the customer had already received an invoice from *Corsair* – which feels more than a little cheeky.

PC manufacturers no longer hesitate to raise their product prices, and *Corsair* has become a recent example of this trend. While price hikes are increasingly common, canceling an already confirmed order without a valid explanation is far more problematic.

A Reddit user revealed that he recently fell victim to such a practice after ordering a pre-built system from *Corsair*. On December 31, he placed an order for the *Corsair Vengeance A5100* gaming PC, equipped with a *Ryzen 9 9900X3D* processor, an *RTX 5080* graphics card, 32 GB of *DDR5* memory, and 2 TB of storage. According to the shared screenshot, he paid $3,500 and received an official invoice.

However, shortly afterward, he discovered that *Corsair* had canceled the order without providing any explanation. When attempting to place the same order again, the listed price had jumped to $4,300 – a staggering $800 increase, or nearly 23%.

Even accounting for rising memory and storage costs, such a price hike is difficult to justify. At the very least, *Corsair* should have informed customers in advance. This lack of transparency raises ethical concerns, especially when compared to companies like *Framework*, which publicly announced upcoming price increases.

*Asus*, a brand already known for premium pricing, has also announced price hikes – something we previously reported on. *Corsair*, however, appears to have done so quietly. An $800 increase significantly undermines the value proposition of the PC, leaving consumers with little recourse beyond public awareness.

For this reason, we continue to recommend buying individual components and building your own PC. While it may require some guidance, it remains the more cost-effective option.
