On reasonable budget cut - ASRock AB350 K4/AMD Ruilong 1700/Plyom P66E installed

Since the end of last year, tempered side penetration has become a trend in the chassis design language. Compared to Intel's accurate promotion of 7 to 8% of toothpaste every year for 5 years, the launch of AMD's Ruilong has given productivity users, especially non-editing videos. Subtitle groups, code farmers, and productivity users have brought more and more affordable choices (cost-effectiveness is limited to new full-licensed comparisons, with the exception of the X79 and 2011 foreign garbage figures). In fact, the great fun of DIY installations lies in how to spend money and cut down on budgets for accessories. This is a constant process of thunder and pitting.

Where the installation budget is cut is actually a comprehensive study of economics, psychology, and long tail theory. In particular, JD.com has different ghost livestock prices at different time periods. Therefore, the prices I buy are not necessarily suitable for other people. We must pay more attention to Zhang Aunt’s real-time discounts, and I can’t guarantee that each historically lowest pit will be stamped on.

Chassis peripherals, this involves the face and the use of mood, the general choice strategy is divided into 2 kinds of situations:

1, choose to like, beautiful and tall, can see the right eye; nothing more than select the side through / not through the side, material selection blackened tempered glass side through / (not) plastic side through, beautiful appearance / full aluminum alloy panel / (Do not) SECC galvanized cold-rolled steel, choose the characteristics of the design, etc., it is recommended that the chassis would rather spend more money on this strategy.

2. If there is no demand for the chassis for the moment, then there is a choice strategy: the lowest price is selected and can be used. This strategy is what I call: the salted fish strategy. However, this strategy has been proved by my own experience: giving people a machine can, after all, you can compress the total price, but the use of machines to choose this is often a pit to dig for themselves - because people are special - is a special kind of change , easy to regret animals.

Here I would like to talk about a negative shopping case that I personally experienced. In late February and early March, I had been very anxious about the unconventional ATX chassis.

This type of chassis is a compact ATX chassis, typically represented by Joe Sibber's RM2 and TT Core G3. Features are cheaper + M-ATX volume (25L or less), the disadvantage is CPU cooling performance limitations and work is very moving.

It took less than a month for the result, and Amnesty’s special regret began. The rough drawing of the aluminum alloy, the edge of the cut only polished the outside side, the user thinks that the user can't touch the case and it doesn't polish. Aluminium sheet is thin (2~1.5mm). All tapped holes are direct tapping on aluminum and there are no special steel screw holes for friction welding. Of course, you said that the chassis of 269 should not be too demanding, but people are always guilty of wanting to use better ones, and even if they add some money, they will be happy.

Therefore, this RM2 is used more and more like it, can only idle transfer, Jingdong goods with electronic invoices, are interested can come to my free time to make a comedy ah. (In brackets, 150 shipments were sold yesterday)

So that intends to use, the chassis is still suitable for a one-step selection of beautiful appearance and atmospheric look, maybe your chassis inside the accessories replaced a few, and the chassis can be used, my family has four ITX chassis in the joint Q02 and NCASE M1 They have been used for 4/3 years, and the chassis is also known as a heirloom.

Looking at Chasbot RM2 at the same time with tears half price, look at the chassis, ATX chassis inside Peliou P66E this chassis is currently satisfied with the choice, three all-aluminum panels, spray paint gilded steel skeleton, of course, there is bare front face apathy The wind, fortunately, there is a RGB power indicator as an embellishment is not so monotonous. There is no cooling hole on the top of the chassis, which does not support the installation of a water-cooled platoon, but it also prevents ash falling from the RM2.

The CPU is a very easy place to cut the budget. Actually, from the perspective of Ah Chiu pretending to be an old driver, general non-game live streaming, video editing, and virtual machine programming, such as the use of money, the player level using the 1400 CPU has already been It is very competent and the performance is insignificant. The CPU whose consumer price exceeds 2000 is mainly for the purpose of productivity (work), learning and research, games (e-sports) or making money (including live broadcasting). Basically 300 yuan I chose the civilian God U Pentium G4560, no difference in performance with i3-6100; 1100 yuan, I chose the i5-7500 scattered film; 1400 I previously selected 6600K/7600K, now choose Ruilong R5 1600; 1899 I choose Ruilong R5 1600X, Intel platform is empty - 7700 without K is a bit of a pit; 2199 grade 3 months ago, I chose 7700K now choose R7 1700, and basically will not mind the price of it.

Pay attention to the history of low prices, Ruilong 1700 eight nuclear sell 2199 considered a good price, 1600X remains to be observed, equivalent to 1799 after the set equivalent do not hesitate, after all, is true 6 nuclear really 8 nuclear.

The mainboard is going with the CPU platform. In most cases, I don't overclock. I like to buy B-level 400 yuan. However, I have a special request, that is, ~ ~ ~ ~ VRM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ heat ~ scattered ~ hot ~ film! . From 13 years of DIY to today, the motherboard I chose has always complied with this.

In addition, AMD motherboards and Intel motherboards are all external VRM-powered CPUs, that is, the VRM power supply on the motherboard is divided into CPU, core, and SoC/PCH circuits. We usually call x + y phase power supply, AM4 main board power supply is divided into CPU CORE and CPU NB two parts. However, current Ruilong processors do not have APUs with cores. Actually, only the CPU CORE part of the power supply on the AM4 motherboard is useful, and how some of the CPU NB materials are used for soy sauce.

Here are the details of the AM4 motherboard VRM power supply IC collected from the Internet:

Both of these parts can be designed with independent motherboard VRM heat sinks. According to experience, there are motherboards with VRM heat sinks, and the full-load operating temperature can differ by more than 20 degrees. The capacitor life is the most sensitive to the operating temperature, a difference of 20 degrees can make the capacitor capacity decay speed more than doubled. So generally speaking, I would choose to keep the CPU power supply at 4 or 3x2 (inverted phase) size, ensure that the VRM power supply heat sink, cut - SLI function, U. 2 and extra second M. 2 slot, Bridged PCI slot.

For example, the X370 and B350 interface specifications are almost the same, the most important difference is that SLI support and more than 2 SATA interfaces. Without the N card SLI requirement, the price of the B350 motherboard is obviously cheaper from 499 to 1099.

On the whole, these AM4 mainboards are powered by 4 or 3x2 times. Only the flagship X370 mainboard has a true 6-phase CPU CORE. The only true 3-phase motherboard is the MSI B350M Gaming Pro.

Do you think that you can select the motherboard? After I finished the purchase, I discovered that Jingdong's AMD CPU+AMD motherboard set had a deeper routine.

Take a chestnut: Ruilong 1700 Jingdong sells 2499, MSI B350 TOMAHAEK sells 999 single buy = 3498. How much do you guess the suit?

Save 500 yuan, there are more favorable? ASUS PRIME B350-PLUS price 1099, board + U 3599, set as long as 2898! Straight down 700!

But only the entire machine is installed with the machine is suitable to enjoy the package offer - I have already bought 1700 in the first time in March alone, it is impossible to buy a piece, after all, the salted fish Ruilong R7 1700 only sell 1800, even if the discount 700 Losing salted fish is also not profitable. It is recommended that you need to buy Ryzen and the motherboard can choose the combination of the highest discount to buy in Jingdong.

So if you buy a motherboard, Ah Choi chose ASRock AB350 Gaming K4 motherboard. VRM power supply cooling fins, 3x2 times some of them have, LED lighting effects, but also very intimate to the two groups of RGB light interface, a group of AMD original ghost RGB cooling, a group of light to the motherboard. The only obvious shrinkage is that only the size is smaller than the standard ATX motherboard, and only 6 screws are needed to fix it.

I think the budget cut on the motherboard, 699 ~ 799 price is the AM4 motherboard has a small overclocking needs or the need to match the lowest level of Ruilong 1700 eight-core processor, 599-499 AM4 motherboard has been cut to the power supply without cooling the available With Ruilong 1700 small super 3.8G.

Memory is a big problem for the AM4 platform, first of all because the memory is now expensive, followed by expensive is not necessarily compatible. Last week, I remotely helped Zhang Aunt a valued friend out of a packaged machine configuration configuration and directed debugging on WeChat. The requirement is that the 3A configuration volume be as small as possible and light pollution.

The results of memory out of stock for the United States almost turned red over the machine can not open the machine Debug red light, and finally found that you can use a memory boot light up, after the BIOS to update the latest solution.

Here I also can not give any constructive advice, that is, with the flow of choice Kingston or Apacer, Zhichi such sales rankings in front of memory. If you are afraid of trouble, try to choose 2400 frequency, high frequency memory is not compatible with the priority attempt to drop to 2933. Relatively speaking, the memory of the Virgo triangle and the odd steel teeth did not rise very badly, and the price was not bad.

However, when I first started in Jingdong in March, I had 3 pairs of Zhiqi 3200 C14 illusions. This set of relatively high-cold memory has mystery compatibility with Ruilong. In 2933, basically every B350 motherboard can run. , so I guess I will use them for the entire DDR4 era.

Entering the 1xnm graphics card pricing is quite interesting. Due to the existence of BOOST 3.0, the difference between the highest non-public and salted fish cards on the NVIDIA graphics card is even less than 8%, and the price can be very low.

For example, the Red Dragon 1070 Z, 3799, which is a faith, merely subtracts one light, VBIOS downshifts once, and immediately drops 600.

But if you think this is the end, then it is wrong - the same PCB board, the same material, and then change to a heat vest, but also down 300 ... ...

Of course, limited to Jingdong Lao Huang also limited means, Shen Shui Po's various hardware driving group there are more skeletal and bizarre marketing methods, but that kind of driving group how to look more like to advertise for others to do wedding dress.

Power is also a deep category of Jingdong routines. Some explosive power sources will have periodic specials and 100-20 percent discounts for full or minus one year at least 618 and double 11 will each appear once.

Basically there are two recommended power supply, XFX X-550 classic G structure full-year perennial discount 459, Haiyun X-650 classic KM3 perennial special 659, one is LLC half-bridge DC2DC, one is LLC full-bridge DC2DC, are It is very reliable to go through the market test after 3 years of listing.

Want to cut the budget on the power supply, the most ideal choice is to switch to non-module dual magnetic amplification, XFX TS430, stay up to NX450, HuntKey 450B jumpers, Antec change the program VP450, these are 279~219 grade power supply. The quad-core processor with its own independence is best not to cut the power budget, and then cut the budget is a single magnetic amplification or even worse power structure.

First power supply and module line into Primor P66E, this chassis is designed to receive the cable trunk, can be used to store the back line without any effort, but requires the CPU 8pin line length of more than 80cm.

ASRock AB350 K4 motherboard with good CPU memory M.2 SSD and AMD ghost heat dissipation is more convenient to install into the chassis.

AM4 motherboards also have APU support based on AMD's plans, so most of the motherboards we can buy have VGA output, although Intel motherboards do not support VGA output completely. Should this be regarded as good or compatible?

AMD's Ghost Radiator comes with a 4-pin RGB light bar drive line, and almost all motherboards support RGB light bars to drive them.

Most other motherboards support one 4-pin RGB light bar, so you must use a Y-type splitter plug to connect the motherboard and AMD RGB fans at the same time.

The ASRock AB350 K4 motherboard is designed with two 4pin connectors that allow the use of AMD RGB Ghost Fans and Chassis Light Strips without splitters.

This is where the light bar and RGB ghost fan are plugged in simultaneously.

Free up space to install graphics card, 2 M.2 slot, but unfortunately AM4 motherboard PCIe channel is not particularly abundant, so the second M.2 slot does not support PCIe and NVMe, is the SATA 6Gbps channel M.2 slot, 2 M.2 is more symbolic than practical.

Later, it was found in the specification that the PCIe 4x Turbo M.2 slot, if enabled, will disable the PCIe4 PCIe 16x graphics slot without metal enhancement. Therefore, the graphics card is inserted as far as possible on the graphics card slot with metal armor reinforcement.

The 2.5-inch SSD is suspended on the backplane.

SSD has an episode here. On May 16th, the Jingdong Toshiba Q200 240G actually plunged 100,599 and 500-20 tickets could be used, but I missed it!

So how do SSDs cut their budgets and completely look at the fate of Jingdong specials at that time? TLC disk, Toshiba A100 240G new listing, today the price of spike 499 is also very good. Tucao Zhang Aunt broke the news actually did not say the key capacity.

Truthfully, the ATX chassis card is still a bit thin, suggesting SLI and adding AIC PCIe SSD. I really am not advising people to lose their homes~~

The tempered glass side panel is a very comfortable texture. The reflective side of the Bicker's side panel is greatly reduced, and the reflective rate is low. Naturally, it feels transparent.

The only slot is to design the top of the installation of cold row space, of course, the chassis air duct is forward and backward.

Turn it on, RGB light bar highlights!

AMD RGB Ghost Fan! Just for the sake of this fan, I would like to have more than 400 on 1700. I would love to use the owl U12S, Owl D15S, U120E pure copper, just to see this fan full of faith!

The top is smooth and seamless, dust is very good, wipes can be wiped.

There are two options for RGB dimming. 1. Use the cascade line in the RGB light bar kit of the chasers to connect the chassis lamp and light bar. Use ASRock motherboard software to dim the light. The default power-on is the effect of the breathing light.

ASRock's RGB LED software solution really only has the function of dimming, which has no other effect.

2, the light bar does not connect the motherboard, then the front panel interface of the chassis, directly press the button on the top of the chassis to adjust the light, this can only grow light, there is no special effect of breathing lights.

Because the X370 and B350 motherboards are all open for overclocking, all of Ruilong's series of processors are not locked and forced, so the midrange AM4 motherboard can enjoy the overclocking benefits of Intel Z series high-end motherboards.

First refresh the BIOS, now the AM4 motherboard BIOS is basically updated every month. The last 2 updates are extremely powerful for overclocking the memory controller. After refreshing the AEGES, you must clear the BIOS settings once.

1, AMD Ruilong overclocking requires very few places to set the BIOS, just set the following items.

1) Voltage mode, manual. 2) The frequency of overclocking should be set to eight cores @ 3800, 3) CPU voltage my constitution is 1.36V. 3.9V can't pass chess test with 1.45V. Voltage is for reference only.

Memory overclocking, a lot of memory there are compatibility issues, loading A-XMP will boot, can only run 2133 waiting for the BIOS update, or manual artificially reduce the timing frequency. For example, when I installed the ZigZag Trident Z 3200 C14, the 3200 was unable to boot, or it changed to a nasty timing delay of C18, or it changed to a 2933 C14.

To set these four BIOS so simple to complete AMD Ruilong overclocking, save and restart, where the screenshot is still groping 3.7G when later adjusted to 3.8G 1.36V.

ASRock AB350 K4 has an overheating 80-degree automatic power-off protection feature in the BIOS hardware monitoring page, which affects overclocking because the original RGB Ghost fan only takes about 3 and a half minutes if the roast chicken exceeds 80 degrees. If necessary, or when you have a strange power failure, check this option.

Overclocking will have to run a battle -

In the same price processor, AMD Rui Long 1700 multi-core performance score is still far ahead.

Video Rendering H264 FHD Benchmark @ 3.7G

The Ruilong 1700 is the happiest for counting frames, and the U+ board only has 2900.

Performance is powerful, productivity + game use basically outperforms the 5960X, productivity + OBS live streaming outperforms 7700K, except for the old stand-alone games more than 2 years old, most of the new stand-alone games have also been optimized for 8 cores, but due to space limitations , I still start another evaluation.

Ruilong overclocking is a ceiling with obvious limits. For example, if this piece of my 1700 is the highest, 3.3.9G can enter the system but adding 1.48V will not be able to play chess anymore. 4.0G 1.5V can not be opened.

It's easy to roll over, but I can't just play with the memory and I can't go out of memory. You're embarrassed to say hello to someone and say, "I've played sharp dragons." AMD's IMC controller has been released for 2 months now. It supports A-XMP is still unstable, there is still no problem with the 2133 AUTO, open A-XMP on the possibility of infinite restart. But tossing the 2933 is also very stable, the problem is that I often do not know how it can suddenly run 2933.

The last is Tucao time - Prilimus P66E this chassis, is the red circle under the picture part, the four floor mats are cut from the aluminum profile, oblique sharp mouth, do not grab them to move the chassis!

Don't ask how I know...
