MSI Z270 Camo Squad: The desert camouflage is a spring

[PConline evaluation] Because the homogeneity of the current card is very serious, the board card manufacturer must have more space for differentiation in the function and performance, so it will develop to all kinds of fighting lights. The appearance of value today, before the PC has not appeared in a revolutionary function, the gameplay of the face value appearance should continue. Now MSI has launched a set of accessories with camouflage armor, including motherboards, graphics cards, e-sports consoles, and game books. Today, it takes its motherboard to measure it - the MSI Z270 Camo Squad.

MSI desert camouflage four-piece:

Four products have redesigned the color elements. It doesn't look like everyone's definition is not the same. At least it is a design with innovative elements. In these four models, the appearance of the graphics card is still very good.

Desert Camouflage Armor Features:

I/O Armor & Power Supply Fin

The inductors are arranged neatly and the 6+4 phase digital power supply. The number of high power supply phases can equally divide the current of each phase, thereby reducing the full load temperature and improving the system stability. 6+4 is not a problem with overclocking of small and medium amplitudes.

South Bridge Heat Sink

There are not many parts that the motherboard can design. The simplest is the position of the above two figures, I/O armor, CPU power supply heat sink, South Bridge heat sink, and the PCB board itself.

MSI desert camouflage two-piece:

The following part is a pure map reward, take a look at the first ~

MSI Desert Camo Z270&GTX1060

MSI GTX1060 Camo Squad

Classical Weixing Dragon

Two pieces of four desert camouflage equipment, the appearance of the graphics card is indeed very good, and several DIY channels are consistent praise ~

Extension ports:

PCIe expansion slot

PCIe expansion slot is also very rich, the first with the alloy curing protection is PCIe 3.0 × 16 slots, the other two long is × 8 slots, the remaining short are × 1 slots, can support many expansion Accessories, such as sound cards, network cards, capture cards, etc. It also supports the CF and SLI of the graphics card, which is sufficient for users with multiple card requirements.

M.2 SSD interface

The M.2 SSD is a high-speed storage medium for the past two years. The MSI Z270 Camo Squad provides two M.2 SSD interfaces and supports NVMe. The highest theoretical speed is up to 32Gb/s.

SATA 3.0 Interface & Dual Front USB 3.0 Interface

Motherboard back I/O interface

The I/O interface is empty, but it is not so beautiful, but the main reason is that this board has two front USB 3.0 interfaces. The bus is allocated to the front panel. In fact, this is more humane. After all, the interface in front of the chassis is easier to use than behind. When used, it also provides a set of USB 3.1 A&C interfaces to meet the speed of most high-speed storage devices on the market. Other interfaces are standard interfaces.

The interface is also full of sincerity, but how is the internal workmanship used? Let's look further.

I/O Armor & Power Supply Fin

The inductors are arranged neatly and the 6+4 phase digital power supply. The number of high power supply phases can equally divide the current of each phase, thereby reducing the full load temperature and improving the system stability. 6+4 is not a problem with overclocking of small and medium amplitudes.

DDR4 memory slot

Four DDR4 memory slots, supporting OC 3800MHz frequency.

Audio module

The audio decoder chip uses a high-priced crab, supplemented by Nichicon audio capacitors, and the sound is basically guaranteed.

Intel Gigabit LAN chip

Ultra-smooth network card solutions, the vast majority of high-end motherboards are using this I219V chip, the performance of leverage.

Asmedia USB 3.1 solution

Provides chips supported by the USB 3.1 interface channel. The theoretical maximum speed is 10 Gb/s.

Materials work is still very good, JD offer is 1599 yuan, in this price, some have, and there are some breakthrough design elements, the motherboard is still very good. If it is the pursuit of personalized appearance, or just like this camouflage player, it is definitely suitable. If you think that this motherboard is too fancy, even if it does not look good, then you certainly will not choose slightly.

With camouflage GTX1060 performance measured:

This test will use the MSI Z270 Camo Squad motherboard equipped with the most high-end i7-7700K, memory for dual-channel DDR4, graphics card uses just a set of GTX1060 Camo Squad, the purpose is to determine whether the motherboard can fully play the full performance of the hardware.

BIOS: Little change in MSI graphics

Overclocking preset options

Currently, various brands in the BIOS have their own characteristics, and the differences in the presentation methods are also getting bigger and bigger. However, the actual content is basically the same. Which one is most suitable for you depends on which brand you use. .

Benchmark performance test:

Comparing with ASUS ROG M9F, we can see that the performance of the two are very consistent in the silent state, indicating that the MSI Z270 Camo Squad can stably exert the performance of all the hardware on the motherboard.

Motherboard temperature test:

In the temperature test section, we mainly examined the problems of the CPU power supply of the mainboard. This part of the temperature is the place where the main board generates a large amount of heat, and it is also the key to the stability of the mainboard. We used the Fluke Ti25 thermal imager to test and recorded two data when idle (CPU, video card is empty) and full load (CPU full, video card is empty).

Left (idle), right (full load)

Through testing, we can see that thanks to the excellent power supply design, the temperature control of the CPU power supply module of the MSI Camo Squad is very good. Even if it is fully loaded with a temperature of 63°C, it is still cool, and the motherboard itself has some overclocking space. With a good CPU cooler can get a good overclocking ability.

PConline evaluation room summary:

The biggest highlight of MSI's camouflage board lies in the design of its desert camouflage. After seeing the red and black rivals, it is also a clear spring in the aesthetic fatigue environment - after all, product homogenization. The problem is currently not yet a good breakthrough, which may require the most upstream Intel to develop new features to have room for downstream manufacturers to play.

Basically, there are extensions, support for CF/SLI PCIe 3.0 slots, dual M.2 SSD interfaces, USB 3.1 A&C interfaces, etc., and mainstream high-speed interfaces are all available.

In terms of temperature control, the temperature of the stress test is only 63 °C, and there is a small amount of overclocking space. If U is not overclocked, whichever U is used is sufficient.

Applicable people: like personalization, like camouflage, like MSI's. Proposed with the 7th generation Core i5 or i7, then out of Ao Teng memory, but also add an Ao Teng memory to try, because this is only 7 generations of Core +200 Series motherboard can make it.
