The configuration list and price are thrown out first. Among them, the CPU and graphics card marked as continuing to be used are the ones I bought before. Naturally, they are not included in the upgrade cost. I won’t post the pictures of all kinds of boxes stacked together (actually, I forgot to take pictures), and I will introduce each accessory one by one:

1. USCORSAIR 4000D AIRFLOW black chassis

 https://item.jd.com/100015334520.html

The front panel of the mid-tower case of this corsair is hollowed out and detachable, the air duct is smooth, the heat dissipation effect is good, the material is also very solid, and there is sufficient space for cable management, and the workmanship is excellent.

The front panel is tenon-type, which can be easily disassembled, and the surface is hollowed out to facilitate air intake, and air intake can also be provided on both sides. Take off this metal panel, and there is a dust-proof net inside.

It comes with two matte silent fans, one in front and one in the back. The main body of this wave is still RGB, so these two fans will naturally have to be removed.

The front panel supports 3 12CM fans or 2 14CM fans, which can be compatible with 360MM water cooling at most, and can be adjusted according to the needs.

The I/O interface area is on the top of the chassis, providing power button, USB 3.0 interface, USB 3.1 Type-C interface, 3.5MM audio interface and reset button, which is also the mainstream collocation at present, taking care of most users’ daily use. need.

There is a magnetic dust filter on the top, and a hollow air outlet on the bottom. 240MM or 280MM water cooling can be installed on the top here. With the height limit of the 170MM radiator, the compatibility of the cooling system is still good.

The back is equipped with 7+2 PCI baffles, all of which are detachable and detachable with screws, supporting vertical display of graphics cards.

Although it is a compact mid-tower case, the internal space is also very spacious. It can support the largest E-ATX (305MM×277) board type. Different board types such as ATX, M-ATX, and ITX also provide hole support for compatibility. The performance is still very good.

The right side adopts a detachable independent wire baffle design, which provides a very ample space for wiring, and also avoids the excessive accumulation of wires at the wiring opening, taking into account both practicality and appreciation. At the bottom is a fully covered, semi-hollow design power compartment cover. There are abundant cable management holes on the inner corners, which is convenient for users to fix the cables.

The back of the case provides CORSAIR’s RapidRoute cable management system, which can be used with Velcro to facilitate users to fix cables and organize them for use. On the right are two 2.5-inch hard disk bays, and two 3.5-inch hard disk bays are provided at the bottom, which support tool-free disassembly and assembly. The hard disk cage is also fixed with thumb screws.

Accessories, of course, are indispensable for cable ties and various screws.

2. MSI MAG B560M MORTAR WiFi Mortar Computer Motherboard

https://item.jd.com/100019441104.html

The motherboard can be said to be the foundation of the entire computer. Whether the computer is stable or not is often determined by the seemingly inconspicuous motherboard, so I chose the well-known MSI Mortar. The recognition that everyone casts with real money.

The WiFi version has a white heat-dissipating armor, whether it is a white or a black main body, it looks good together.

Stable power supply, good compatibility, overclocking, high configuration, easy operation, controllable light, and many interfaces. In short, I can meet all the needs of a motherboard. There is also a wireless antenna that supports WiFi6E, and the gameplay is very rich. .

12+2+1 parallel circuit design is adopted, and the CPU power supply is upgraded to 8+4pin combination.

There is a large area of ​​frost armor protecting it, which may not be clear to see. If you simply remove the thick metal armor and look at it again, it will be more clear.

It has two PCIEX16 slots, but only the first one has metal reinforcement, which can provide better support for the increasingly heavy graphics cards nowadays, and also prevent people like me who like to do miracles with great efforts to make myself regret it. things come out.

Only the first of the two M.2 slots has a heat dissipation armor, and it can realize PCIE 4.0 mode with the 11th generation Core.

The audio part is equipped with Realtek ALC897, which can support 7.1. As for the lighting interface, obviously considering the needs of lighting users, it is equipped with a set of 12V 4Pin RGB interfaces and two sets of 5V 3Pin ARGB interfaces. The motherboard is equipped with a self-test light, and the positions of the fan and light ports are also designed reasonably.

The four DDR4 memory slots support up to OC to 5066+Mhz frequency, and the total memory capacity can support up to 128GB.

There are 6 sets of SATA 6Gb/s interfaces in total. It should be noted that the SATA1 bandwidth will be occupied when the M2_1 interface is used.

There are 4 pieces of Frost Armor in total, and the materials used are not generally solid.

The one-piece I/O baffle provides more convenience for installation, and the interfaces on it are also very rich. The PS/2 mouse and keyboard interface has been cancelled, and a total of 4 USB2.0 interfaces, one DP interface, and one HDMI2.0 Interface, 2 USB 3.2 Gen2 interfaces (one standard USB, one Type-C interface), a 2.5G wired network interface, 2 USB 3.2Gen1 interfaces, and an audio interface. Of course, there are two gold-plated WiFi antenna ports.

Finally, look at the back of the motherboard, and you can see that the fine pins are particularly neat and the workmanship is fine.

MSI's BIOS is also very easy to use, the black and red color scheme is very eye-catching, and the graphical interface is intuitive and easy to use.

All functions are clear at a glance, and the current status can be checked at any time, and the operation is very friendly.

Operations such as CPU overclocking and memory overclocking are very simple, and it is very convenient to toss around. This is also a major reason why I choose MSI motherboards. Looking back, I plan to adjust the CPU and memory again, and try to squeeze out how much potential I can squeeze out.

3. Kingpatek DDR4 3600 16GB (8G×2) Phantom RGB memory

https://item.jd.com/100029642724.html

The biggest feature of this Jinbaida memory is that it supports RGB Shenguang synchronization. At the same time, the frequency can reach 3600MHz after XMP is turned on. The price is similar to that of many matte vests or even ordinary ones, and the price/performance ratio is very outstanding.

The transparent window on the back of the box can just see the half-covered memory stick, especially the sticker on it. This hesitant look makes people want to tear off its clothes quickly...

This Jinbaida light bar adopts a symmetrical silver metal vest design, which not only enhances the heat dissipation effect, but also has a good appearance. It supports XMP 2.0 technology, and can achieve a high frequency of 3600MHz after one-key activation, and the timing sequence CL 18-22-22-42 is quite satisfactory.

It supports RGB lighting effect, and also supports the lighting control software of major motherboard manufacturers, with high playability. The light strip runs through the top of the entire memory bar and spreads to both sides of the heat dissipation vest. The width exceeds the PCB board, which can bring a better display effect.From the side, it seems that the arrangement of particles on one side is adopted. I am a handicapped party. Don’t count on me to remove the vest, unless I work hard to make a miracle...

According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, before the test on the machine, you must first take a set photo. No matter from which angle you look at it, this pair of Jinbaida light bars is very good-looking.

As a light bar, the first thing to look at is its light effect. The built-in RGB lamp beads emit light evenly, and with the light strips extending to both sides, the visual effect is excellent.

They support Shenguang synchronization, so you can directly use the MSI Center of the MSI motherboard to set the lighting effects of the hardware including the Kingpac light bar, so that they have a more uniform lighting effect and a stronger integrity.

For example, all can be set to red.

Let's start the test, first look at the CPU-Z information, we can see that the memory works at a frequency of 2666MHz (CL 19-19-19-43) by default.

Then use the typhoon software to see, it can be seen that the memory uses Samsung C-die particles.

In the default mode, AIDA64 is used for reading and writing tests, and the results are as follows. Read at 39695MB/s, write at 36151MB/s, copy 36154MB/s, delay 75.7ns. This performance is not satisfactory.

Then enable the XMP option in the motherboard BIOS.

After restarting, the memory frequency has steadily changed to 3600MHz (CL 18-22-22-42).

Run the AIDA64 memory and cache bandwidth test again, the reading is 52694MB/s, the writing is 50702MB/s, the copying is 49049MB/s, and the delay is 57.8ns. It can be seen that the memory reading, writing and copying performance have been significantly improved after XMP is turned on. The improvement, while the delay is also greatly reduced.

At the same time, the performance of the whole machine has also improved, especially the CPU, which will be mentioned in the whole machine test later.

4. USCORSAIR RM750x 750W power supply

https://item.jd.com/100014185747.html

My host is a 3060 graphics card, so it is very appropriate to choose 750W. Why not 650W? Because the price difference between 750W and 650W is not big, and the actual usage margin of 750W will be greater than 650W, so don’t worry about upgrading the graphics card later! This Corsair power supply has 80PLUS gold certification, full modules, built-in fan start and stop and smart wake-up function, and has a 10-year long warranty, so you can use it with confidence.

box back pairSome features of the power supply are introduced, such as low-noise fan, full module interface, efficiency curve, etc.

The full module cable includes: 1x motherboard power supply cable, 2x CPU power supply cable, 2x PCI-E power supply cable, 3x SATA power supply cable, 2x peripheral 4-PIN power supply cable, 1x fan power supply cable. The full modular cable provides great convenience for the host cable management.

Among them, the Corsair motherboard power supply line, CPU power supply line, and graphics card power supply line all add capacitors for filtering. At the same time, all joints are protected by heat-shrinkable tubes, and the overall wire material is also particularly solid.

Parameter stickers.Corsair has always been a single-channel 12V design, which can be used safely.

All Japanese capacitors are used inside to reduce coil noise and improve energy efficiency

The built-in magnetic levitation fan with large air volume and zero speed mode makes the working noise very small.

The layout of the interface is relatively reasonable, it is not difficult to plug and unplug, and the workmanship is fine enough.

If it is a case where the power compartment is visible and you can still see the side of the power supply, the Thief Ship logo is still very outstanding.

Simply use OCCT to do a stress test, and the performance of RM750x is also very good.

5. 11th generation Intel Core i5-11600K @ 3.90GHz six-core CPU

https://item.jd.com/10027670672823.html

This CPU was bought from a certain installer in the station, and it is brand new in a box. The main reason for choosing 11600K instead of 11600KF is that it has a core display... With a CPU with a core display in hand, when there is no need for a graphics card, it is not necessary to pick up a 620 bright card. For errands.

The choice of K also provides the possibility of overclocking in the future. I may not use it, but you can't do without it.

6. USCORSAIR H100i RGB PRO XT

https://item.jd.com/100010931740.html

High power consumption and strong heat production were used to describe AMD. Who would have thought that these hats are now being worn on toothpaste factories. It’s been 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Don’t bully the young and poor? Anyway, in order to press this 10600K, I resolutely installed 240 water cooling. The H100i RGB PRO XT selected this time is naturally black.

The back side shows the internal accessories in thumbnail form.

The main accessories include the main body of the water cooling, two fans, mounting screws, mounting clips, warranty card, manual, and a USB cable for connecting the cold head to the motherboard.

The cooling fans equipped are two 2400-rpm matte ML120 maglev fans. The performance is quite strong - the maximum fan speed of 2400RPM, the air volume of 75CFM and the air pressure of 4.2 mm H2O, and the noise control is also in place, and there is almost no sound when running below 1600RPM.

The H100i RGB PRO XT uses a 240mm aluminum radiator. The thickness of 27mm has good compatibility, and the length of 240mm can be installed on the top and front of mainstream mid-tower cases. The water pipe is wrapped with nylon braided mesh, which not only protects the water pipe, but also has a good texture. The length of the water pipe is 38cm, and the overall texture is soft, so it can be bent a lot during installation.

The cold head adopts a modular buckle, which can correspond to all mainstream platforms on the market. The bottom adopts a large-area pure copper heat dissipation base, which has been pre-coated with heat dissipation silicon grease, eliminating the trouble of applying silicon grease.

The surface of the cold head is made of black mirror piano paint, and the texture of the mirror is very good! At the same time, following the current RGB trend, 16 independently controllable RGB lamp beads are introduced, and a circle of surrounding light strips are arranged on the front and side. The lighting effects can be set in detail in the iCUE software of Corsair. Each LED lamp bead can be precisely controlled and has a good visual effect.

However, in order to have a better lighting effect, I still replaced the fan that comes with the water cooling, and replaced it with the upgraded ML120 RGB ELITE Elite Edition of Corsair, which can also precisely control the lighting effect through ICUE.

Not only the lighting effect is stronger, but the heat dissipation effect is also very powerful. There will be specific tests later.

7. USCORSAIR ML120 RGB ELITE three packs

https://item.jd.com/100015258945.html

In order to match the 240 water cooling of the thief ship, and jointly support the lighting and appearance of this black-themed host, I chose this three-piece fan, which happens to occupy one rear air outlet and two lower air inlets of the chassis. s position.

The ML120 RGB ELITE fan uses hydraulic bearings, the speed can be adjusted between 450RPM~2000RPM, supports zero speed mode, the maximum air volume is 58.1CFM, the maximum air pressure is 2.9mm-H2O, the heat dissipation effect is very powerful, and the minimum noise is only 10dBA. Noise control is really good, and the noise is not noticeable after the case is filled with fans.

Each fan uses 8 independently addressable RGB lamp beads, and the effect of each moment of the lamp beads on each fan can be individually controlled through Corsair's ICUE software, which can achieve linkage with the entire set of Corsair equipment and have better lighting effects. And this combo pack comes with a 6-jack RGB HUB.

8. JONSBO LF120P ARGB Symphony Chassis Fan*4

https://item.jd.com/100023135868.html

This fan should be Qiao Sibo's new product. The reason why I chose 4 fans is that in addition to putting 3 fans on the front panel of the chassis for air intake, I originally thought about whether to put one on the top of the power supply compartment, but it turns out that there are no screw holes here. ...is embarrassing.

However, the side of this fan also has a light effect. After all, everyone is using a side-through chassis now, and the side of the fan is also displayed.

9. KIOXIA EXCERIA PRO EXCERIA PRO SE 10 SSD

https://item.jd.com/100015438959.html

Obviously this hard drive is not equipped with a cooling vest, only a simple sticker.

After carefully peeling off the Kioxia sticker, you can see the arrangement of particles on the hard drive. As Kioxia’s new generation flagship product, Kioxia SE10 uses self-developed BiCS FLASH flash memory and vertically stacked units structure.

Equipped with Kioxia's own main control chip, and equipped with DRAM as a cache, it should be Samsung's DRAM particles.

First use the software CrystalDiskMark to test with 1GB and 64GB respectively. The reading speed is around 7000MB/S, and the writing speed is over 6000MB/S. There is not much difference in other data.

Compared with the previous PCIE3.0 hard drive, the read and write performance has almost doubled.

10. Western Digital (WD) blue disk 4TB

 https://item.jd.com/100010508835.html

There seems to be nothing more to say about this, just playing movies at home is enough.

11. Colorful iGame GeForce RTX 3060 Advanced OC 12G L graphics card

https://item.jd.com/100022410408.html

Ah, the fresh air!

This graphics card was bought from a buddy who is an online writer. After I got it, it was useless. It was just code words. I didn’t have time to play games. I happened to go to his house to play, and I paid the price of a mechanical keyboard. I got this graphics card from him, of course I have to pay for it, 4200, I know everyone will think I'm stupid...

But at that time, the document to close the mine hadn’t come out yet, and it might not be possible to buy it for five or six thousand on the market...I’ll post it within a few days after I bought it o(╥﹏╥)o But as long as I don’t sell it, I There is no loss... (forced respect)

Colorful graphics cards all support personal insurance, so there is no need to worry about the future.

The configuration of 1 HDMI interface + 3DP interface can fully meet the daily use, and it also has a one-key overclocking button, which is very convenient to use.

12. JONSBO VC-4 graphics card support frame 5V ARGB light-emitting graphics card bracket magnetic base

https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=608675032198&pid=mm_25282911_3455987_64919300296&skuId=4280924289340

My chassis is still a traditional graphics card horizontal structure. The heat dissipation part of the 3060 graphics card is okay, and the weight is enough. Although the graphics card slot on the motherboard of the mortar has a stainless steel armor, the motherboard can hold it. I am worried about the graphics card. The interface can't hold it up. It's inevitable that it will be damaged if you keep it on it. It's more safe to use a bracket to support it.

Of course, I don't deny that I still go for the ARGB magic lights on the bracket. After all, the whole machine is in this style, so it might as well be more extreme. Appearance is the first element, so it is not surprising to choose this VC-4 graphics card support frame from JONSBO. In addition to supporting the ARGB lighting of the motherboard, it is made of aluminum-magnesium alloy. Forming, surface sandblasting and anodizing treatment, the appearance itself is not low, and the height can be adjusted arbitrarily, of course, is also necessary.

The interface is naturally still a 12V 3-pin ARGB interface, and the specific effect should be displayed on the computer at the back.

I don’t need to go into details about the whole installation process. As for the cable management... how can it be so rare that I, a master of ancient cable management, just put the cover on...

In terms of lighting effects, the playability is still very strong. The MSI Center that comes with the MSI motherboard can control the lights of various devices connected to the motherboard. Of course, I still hope to replace all the 3 intake fans on the front panel with Corsair's RGB fans can be handled with ICUE at that time.

test

Let's take a look at the configuration of the whole machine first.

It is also necessary for the entertainment master to score a score. I am quite satisfied with the comprehensive score close to 1.4 million.

After turning on XMP, the running score has increased by nearly 80,000 points, the memory itself has increased by less than 30,000 points, and the CPU's running score has increased by about 50,000 points. It can be seen that the impact of memory performance is not small.

The artificial intelligence scores are also good.

The effect of advertising your follow-up test is completely sufficient for me.

Corsair’s water cooling effect is still very powerful. With the excellent air duct design of the Corsair case, the core temperature of the computer can also be kept in a relatively good working range under stress tests. Not only the CPU, but also the graphics card also benefited a lot. .

As soon as the stress test is over, the temperature immediately drops back to the daily level, which is also an affirmation of the heat dissipation effect.

In addition, it is simple to bake a machine...

Summarize

This set of mainframe with black main body has enough performance for me. With my 40-inch fish screen, I can play games and edit videos without any pressure. It's also quiet enough. After using this period of time, the operation has been very smooth, there is no crash, and the game is relatively smooth, I am still very satisfied (please ignore my messy wires).
