Memoir Zero | Intel Arc B580 12GB + i5 12600K | Ready-to-Go Gaming PC | PC36

⛰️ Memoir Zero

Smart value without cutting corners

Memoir Zero is the entry point to the Memoir lineup: a strong Intel Core i5 12600KF processor, liquid cooling, and fast 32GB DDR4 memory chosen specifically to avoid the recent spike in DDR5 pricing. Paired with the Intel Arc B580 12GB graphics card, it delivers impressive performance where it matters: gaming. Cleanly built in the premium Corsair 4000D case for excellent airflow and a timeless look.

🧬 Built to last, designed to evolve

This system is built on a mature Intel LGA1700 platform using high quality DDR4 memory. That keeps performance high without the current price premium of DDR5. CPU upgrade paths are more limited than the latest platforms, but GPU, storage, case and cooling upgrades remain wide open, delivering excellent real-world performance per pound. The Memoir series intentionally uses DDR4 to offer excellent value in the face of rising RAM costs, especially DDR5.

• Memoir uses a more mature but still capable Intel platform with DDR4 memory. This keeps the price accessible in the face of rising RAM costs, particularly DDR5. The trade-off is that long term upgrade options are more limited than an AM5 Ryzen platform, but the performance per pound today is excellent.
