Well, the fate of 5 years is finally over! The E3-1230v2 + MSI ZH77A-G43 that has been in service for nearly five years is always to be retired. It seems that I am not the case. Most of the ZH77A have fallen because of a memory slot problem. I am no exception. I just upgraded my graphics card and monitor last month. This month will cost you more!
The old three-piece Ivy Bridge platform is one that cannot be left. Don't ask me to buy a second-hand H77 motherboard. Don't worry about it! The Skylake architecture and the Z170 chip are just released. At this time, I think it's time to upgrade. Although I heard that the seventh generation of Intel will be shipped soon, it is still a 14nm process, so the upgrade will not be too big, the most important thing is - I do not change it! Can't open it! !
First of all, the problem has come. I use Xeon E3 for a long time. This is a recognition for the processors of this series. The old ones are still not bad before the performance or the levers, and I don't want to change them. The architecture of the Xeon E3-1230v5. A look at the price, I rub! Licensed 20xx, flake 16xx, I was v2 scatter only 12xx ah, E3's price to go it? Moreover, after so many years of torment, already do not want to get loose film, annoying! In addition, I heard that this generation of E3 also needs special chip support, and can no longer use the same motherboard with the i7 i5. How do you feel like there is a conspiracy? I am not decisively ah, right!
Well, the next step is the choice of i7 and i5. The difference between 6600K and 6700K is nearly 1K (not to mention scattered). The single-core performance is similar, because last year I migrated the lab and virtualization platform to the company's server. The functions of the home PC are mainly for games and ordinary text work. Is that i7 wasteful? Definitely i5, ah, money saved can still go to several times! Jingdong's price is ¥1,699 plus 150 coupons, starting with ¥1,549.
CPU is fixed, next is sure to be the main board, because early in the morning locked the Z170, thought that the board is very good, can be found after study I still Tucson break ah! Today's motherboards are getting more and more fancy - a variety of new interfaces, a variety of Gaming features, a variety of fancy radiators, all kinds of strange black technology, how to choose! How to choose! How to choose! Hey, look at how much money you have on the purse and pick up how much money!
Of course, because of the graphics card that Gigabyte had previously started, I suppose that the motherboard should also be selected by Gigabyte? That they should get along and should be ambition! Just happened to be the 30th anniversary of the founding of Gigabyte this year (smaller than me), and the commemorative motherboard of the Z170X-UD3 Ultra was released. The appearance is my favorite! Blue and black with my original chassis (mainly lights) good match! In this way, the motherboard is set. Yes, it will be settled, because it is Z170, anyway, I5-6600K can be inserted, anyway, there are PCI-E x16, anyway, there is a sound card onboard, anyway, there are SATA interfaces, anyway ... it is!
Since the CPU and the motherboard are all set, the memory will be worth mentioning. Which one is cheaper to choose? The pirate ship can't afford it. The Shiyan hasn't heard of it. Well, it's diabolical. The difference between 2400 and 2800 is 30. Don't you think?
Here's a tantrum. Intel packaging is getting more and more simple. If you don't give a fan, do you give me an i5 sticker? Or how do I tell guests that my home computer uses your home's CPU? !
The Z170X-UD3 Ultra's large-area heatsink (seems to be my soil, it looks like the heat sink is nothing in the market, but the color I like!) and I/O interface protection cover (only protective cover? can still be shielded What messy things?)
The Z170X-UD3 Ultra was powered by the shrinking power of Tucao. According to the data, it was only 4 + 3 with 7 phases of power supply. How could even ASRock have a 12 to 18 phase power supply? Gigabyte you fall! Oh, take care of him, don't be bad...!
From the details, the board's workmanship and materials are still decent and worthy of the price of ¥1,499. The sound card and the network card chip are shielded, the PCI-E and the memory slot are protected, and the details are quite good. The whole board is surrounded by a circle of lights. The memory slot and the PCI-E have added several light bars. This has a good look!
Various lights, light strips on the main board side, and small lights under the PCI-E slot. At the same time, it also brings one each of M.2 and U.2 interfaces, and supports three-way NVMe SSD to build RAID (there is money to say!), USB Type-A, Type-C, and Thunderbolt interfaces are all available, should it be enough?
It should be noted that although there are so many storage interfaces on the motherboard, it looks like these interfaces cannot be used together:
If the PCI-E x4 slot is inserted into the SSD of the PCI-E x4 interface, the SATA3 0/1 interface and the corresponding SATA-E interface cannot be used;
PCI-E x2 interface SSDs or other PCI-E devices do not conflict;
If the SSD is plugged into the U.2 interface, the SATA3 2/3 interface cannot be used.
Inserting an SSD on the M.2 interface will cause the SATA3 4/5 interface to fail;
If M.2, U.2, and PCI-E x4 are all plugged in to the SSD, then the SATA ports will all fail.
Do you see dizzy?
it is good! Hands-on installation! !
Lots of details were skipped, haha! A blink of an eye has been lying in the chassis!
Close-up of I/O interfaces, Type-A + Type-C, DP + HDMI, 4 USB 3.0, Ethernet ports and 8.1 sound card interfaces. It is worth mentioning that this board provides DP IN and OUT, I heard that it is prepared for VR, and the backplane has completely canceled USB 2.0, but the front panel can still expand two sets of USB 2.0.
In a blink of an eye, the graphics card and memory are lying in! Prepare for power, nervous! ! !
After the first power up, I didn't respond for a long time. I'm so scared! After waiting for a long time to light up, is this now the UEFI BIOS? Is this light charming and woody?
The current e-sports style is like red, but I like blue, more seductive, red too bright can not stand!
With the addition of Toshiba Q300 240GB SSD on the same site, I think the SSD is very cost-effective and is good for gaming. There is a PLEXTOR M6S as a system disk behind the chassis, plus a 1TB mechanical hard disk to put some large files. Other information The existence of NAS is basically enough.
