As a headline author and a computer seller, in addition to asking about computer configurations, there are also many friends who need to upgrade their computers.
is like the 3rd and 4th generation platforms. If it is I3 and I5, I directly recommend E3 without any brain. It is definitely the best solution for upgrading.
What if it is the 6th and 7th generations?
Take for example
How can you spend the least amount of money to upgrade this configuration?
In the past, Snail would tell customers directly that the upgrade cost was too high and it would be best to replace the entire CPU and motherboard, but now there is actually a more suitable option.
The answer is still the E3 series
Regarding the E3 series, everyone knows that V3 will no longer be compatible with mainstream platforms, that is, 100 series and 200 series motherboards can no longer use E3 V5 and V6.
In 2018, Intel simply renamed all E3s, which is the E21XX series, which means to tell everyone not to think about what they have, but in fact, the 100 series, 200 series and 300 series (Z370 and B365) through certain means In fact, it is supported.
Let’s talk about the 100 series and 200 series first. If you want to be compatible with the E21XX series
1 and magic BIOS
, it’s more complicated. It’s called magic BIOS. The simple thing is to add microcode to make the motherboard support the original models
. 100 series and 200 The system's own hardware supports E21XX, but Intel has not included the E21XX microcode.
Magically modify the BIOS by selecting the microcode.
Don’t think this is too difficult. It may be a bit difficult for us to do the magic modification, but now Yellow Fish can help you flash the BIOS online for 20 yuan.
I have already experienced this snail, it only takes 5 minutes.
2, shielding contact
100 series and 200 series need shielding contacts if you want to use the E21XX series, but Z370 and B365 do not.
However, you can buy a shielded one, or some sellers will shield it for you. You don’t need to do it yourself. You can just plug it in after buying it and it will not affect the performance.
If it is Z370 and B365, just buy them directly.
Basically these two are enough, the total additional expenditure is 20 yuan
Next, let’s look at the comparison between E3 and traditional Core
The purchase price is 20 to 50 more expensive than the recycling price
Everyone should have points for these Core processors , there are four models in the E3 series snails. Let’s focus on these official versions of
E2124, which means 100% bug-free and publicly sold versions. This U is 4C4T, which is actually I3 9100F with 2M triple buffer and 0.1ghz single core. , the multi-core is exactly the same as the I3 9100F, and the original price of this U was 300 yuan, but now the hype is too high.
Because the 100 series and 200 series can also flash the bios to support the 9th generation, and the 9100F can generally be bought second-hand at 410, so the price/performance ratio of this U is not very high, but it is not low either.
E2134 This U is actually I3 10105F with 2M triple buffer and 0.1ghz single core. The multi-core is exactly the same as I3 10105F, but everyone should be aware that I3 10105 does not support these platforms.
Originally this U was around 400 yuan, and the price-performance ratio was huge. Now it has increased a lot, but the performance is still much improved compared to the I7 6700. The performance is roughly the same as the I5 9400F, the price is 80 yuan cheaper, and the price-performance ratio is average.
There is no difference between QNCU and QNCW except for the core display. These two are actually the ES version of E2146. Speaking of the ES version, you may first think of many bugs, but QNCU and QNCW have a very good reputation in the market, and basically no bugs have been found. It is a fully usable version.
Both Us have 6C12T specifications, with full core 4.1GHZ and three buffers 12M. Their performance is slightly better than i5 10400F (all core 4GHZ), and the power consumption is only 80W, which should be very low.
These two Us should also be the most cost-effective Us that can be upgraded from the 100 series and the 200 series.
Of course, in fact, 100 series and 200 series can also use notebook magic to modify U, ql3x, etc., but this thing should be a nightmare for novices, and even professionals who play this don't want to bother, not to mention it is very easy to break, and the heat is very high. Compared with E3 and its stable ES version, it is more suitable for novices.
Let’s summarize: The stability of the 8th generation and Zhiqiang is still very strong, and because some people can help flash the BIOS online, the difficulty of upgrading for novices can be said to be greatly reduced.
But we can also see that a rising tide lifts all boats. If E2124 is still 300, it will be more cost-effective. The current E3 and its ES version have already increased in price, but compared to upgrading to Core, the cost-effectiveness is still slightly higher.
QNCU processor, if I were asked to install a host with this configuration, it would be absolutely impossible, but if you are upgrading to B150, this is definitely the best choice. Like the configuration Snail posted earlier, I5 6500 can be sold for recycling at 350. Yes, add 150 more to buy this QNCU, which has better performance than I5 10400F. The performance is more than doubled, and it can be used for several years. Of course, if you are upgrading from Z370 and B365, you can even sell I5 8400 and 9400 and replace it with this one. You can still earn more than a hundred.
The above is just a solution for everyone to upgrade. It is not recommended that you install this directly. In addition, before upgrading, be sure to ask whether your motherboard can flash the BIOS online,
