saves 100 and loses 1,000. Double Eleven installation machine must avoid these pitfalls!
Recently, I have planned to do video editing, so I want to install a desktop computer. When I sent the configuration to my friend in the computer city, he was very puzzled. Why does the chassis power radiator cost so much? If you have this money, you can use K CPUs, you can upgrade your motherboard, or buy a good monitor...
Uh, when I heard his words, I fell into deep thought: It has been almost 10 years since I last installed the computer (that was called a computer storage at that time). Why until today, many people have not realized the importance of chassis, power supply, and radiator?
Looking back 10 years ago, in the era full of Jinhetian Big Buffalo, I chose the Juechen Hero chassis of the power train, which only cleans the dust every three years; in the era full of Great Wall Xingu , I chose the Kangshu IP430 enhanced power supply, which is stable and efficient, and has been in service for almost 10 years; in the era full of aluminum radiator low-speed fans, I chose the overclocked three Donghai silent version, copper tube ball fan, with obvious heat dissipation effect, which made my AMD X3 425 fight for several more years.
So this time I installed the machine, I chose the three-piece set of Antigram (Antec)! Antec Guardian 502 FLUX Mid Tower Chassis/Antec NE650 Gold Medal Full Module Power Supply /Antec Neptune 240 Radiator!
Why do you have to be Antiac? Because when I installed the equipment, I was the most preferred product of Antec, and I chose other brands that I thought were expensive and sought the best. This time, the installation was also a dream journey. (In fact, Antec is a high-end chassis power supply manufacturer in the United States. The brand has been baptized by 34 years (founded in 1986). It is known for its excellent product quality and high-quality after-sales service.)
The Antec three-piece set I bought this time has been compared for a long time. They are all products that meet the public's aesthetics and needs and are relatively cost-effective.
Guardian 502 FLUX Zhongta chassis: [Zheng·Da·Guang·Ming]
[Square and stylish]
This chassis has a square shape, clear edges and a full black appearance, and looks thick and solid. The cold-rolled steel plate used as a whole has a moderate thickness and is folded, which is quite user-friendly.
Guardian supports ATX, M-ATX and ITX motherboards, the graphics card is up to 405mm, the CPU height is up to 175mm, the power length is 205mm, and supports 3 HDDs or 5 SSDs. (It also supports old antique optical drives, and some people can use them)
[Large space, full of holes]
Although I chose the MSI B460 mortar M-ATX motherboard, I still chose this mid-tower chassis, because I liked it because it has a large space and ventilation system design out of color.
Nowadays, many people pursue small chassis, which is well known as the small steel cannon. In fact, it is not reasonable. The small chassis has a narrow space, poor ventilation, and no circulation ducts. The computer performance will definitely be reduced. I like large chassis and can't afford a big house. At least, it makes my CPU motherboard live a little more spacious.
And in terms of ventilation and heat dissipation, Antec Guardian can be said to have done the ultimate, and he wished he could make the chassis into a beehive.
The front is super large area hollow heat dissipation punching. (About 90%)
The top of the top is super large area hollow heat dissipation punching.(About 80%)
hollow punching at the bottom power supply placement. (About 30%)
The inner side of the lower power supply installation site is hollowed out at the side. (About 30%)
In addition to the conventional rear fan punching, the pci-e baffle is also punched with holes... The designer may be a bee...
jambock that holds the power supply, and there is a hole on it. (About 75%)
With so many holes, in addition to ventilation and heat dissipation, it is definitely very easy to get dust and insects in. The Guardian's case carries a layer of soft magnet dust filter on the outside of the hole, which is very convenient to disassemble.
Guardian chassis can be equipped with up to 12 standard 12cm cooling fans , and the conventional 360 water-cooled radiator can be installed on the top and front, because the openings of the fuselage are symmetrically linked, forming a dual air duct that penetrates the front and back, and convection up and down. This is also the origin of the chassis called "FLUX" (flow).
[Shenguang Synchronization, buy a fan and get a chassis]
The most amazing thing about the Guardian chassis is that it comes with 5 12cm cooling fans, an ordinary cooling fan (installed back), three light edge RGB fans (installed front) and a reverse fan (helping graphics card to dissipate heat). This cooling lineup is a bit powerful...
also has an ATEC intelligent lighting control module built-in, which can pull the RGB fan of the CPU radiator over to play "Divine Light Synchronization" together. Calculate the price of 5 fans and one controller, and buy a fan and get a chassis. It is a perfect step, saves effort and worry, and is the first choice for cost-effectiveness.
On the front of the chassis, except for the three light edges RGB fans hidden inside the buckle board, it can glow, and the three claw marks on the outside of the buckle board are actually chrome-plated light strips, which is a little surprise!
(light rendering)
[Glass Transparent]
Side-transparent glass has almost become the standard configuration of modern chassis. The guardian used 5mm high-transparent tempered glass, and used cold-rolled steel plate folded edges to protect the four fragile corners, and the exposed edges were also rounded. This piece of glass is very heavy and has good quality when carried in your hands.
transmittance is pretty good.
double-sided protective film.
The glass side allows people to see the various hardware in the host clearly, which is quite interesting. The tempered glass on the side of the Guardian chassis is quite transparent, and your own shadow will be reflected when taking photos... The chassis space is large, which is good. You can stuff a bunch of small cars into it.
Guardian's keys are placed on the top, and the texture is very good. In order to prevent dust, the socket is equipped with dust plugs. (Open key *1, light control key *1, USB 3.0*2, headphone socket *1, microphone socket *1), the disadvantage is that the restart key is missing. (I can't use it, you have to have it!)
chassis cables are all designs, which must be well received. Flat wires are anti-winding, saving space, and the most important thing is to facilitate wire management, which looks neat and beautiful.
The space on the back of the chassis is close to 3cm, and the wiring is very convenient. It is too friendly for novices. It is easy to install no matter how you install it.
Accessories: Antik also thoughtfully sent two velvet cloth tie with logo, four plastic tie, and a bag of small screws of various specifications.
Finally, I praise this manual. It is simply a Pinyin version installation guide. Step by step, teach you step by step to learn installation from scratch. As long as you follow the prompts, even the first installation is effortless.
[Summary]
chassis is equivalent to the stage of the CPU motherboard, and has a very big impact on the performance of the entire host. Don’t save money here. The chassis with poor air duct can drag the i7 into an i5. Antec Guardian DP502 FLUX chassis, smooth dual air ducts, can be equipped with dual 360 water cooling, 5 fans, and supports divine light synchronization, and the overall cost-effectiveness is very good.
In addition, I also have a few small suggestions, ① The anti-slip pad at the bottom is a little smaller, it can be larger; ② The chassis screw is designed to prevent loss, the actual experience is not smooth enough, and I always feel that it is twisted off; ③ The chrome-plated RGB light strip is slightly shorter, either longer or even made into the Antik logo...
NE650 Gold medal full module power supply: [Wind·Ping·Lang·Jing]
NE650 Gold medal full module power supply: [Wind·Ping·Lang·Jing]
NE650
To be honest, power supply is almost the most important hardware in the entire computer, and it is also the easiest to ignore. The entire Xbao Xdong machine is "cut corners" on the power supply, and many consumers have been on the martyrs' wall because of this!
There is also a brand of power supply that is nicknamed "nuclear bomb". It is not because it is strong and powerful, and if you are not careful, you will be BOOM. When I was helping someone repair a computer, I was beaten to death by the power supply missing ... So this time I installed the computer, I chose the Antiac NE 650 gold medal full module power supply.
Why is this power supply called a Gold Certified Power Supply? Gold certification is actually a measure of the power supply industry. It requires that the power supply must have a conversion efficiency of more than 87% under 20% light load and full load, and the conversion rate of more than 87% under 50% typical load must have a conversion rate of more than 87% under 100% load.
Antik This NE 650 laboratory conversion efficiency data has reached 92.89%, and it has almost touched the door to super platinum certification, but it only sells gold certification prices. Are you excited...
[Front air inlet, convenient heat dissipation]
There are 764 heat dissipation air outlets on the outside of the
NE 650 power supply, which can quickly discharge heat from the inside of the power supply. With the guardian's vertical penetration of the air duct, the heat dissipation effect will be more obvious.
[Cable flat, convenient routing]
NE 650 adopts a full module design, which is very convenient for installation routing. The replacement design is also conducive to later maintenance and replacement. You can customize your favorite wire and color. The reason why I chose the entire module is that I don’t like too many lines and messy ones. If you want to use, you can insert any wire.
flat line design, not wrapped, convenient wiring, and save space.
There are also models marked on the plug, and mom will never worry about you plugging in the wrong power cord again.If you don’t know how to read the model, there is a secret you should read!
Antiac series products, the manual is the real manual, it is clear, you can insert the thread accurately by reading the drawing, good!
[Durable, stable and unwavering]
NE 650 has passed the 80PLUS gold medal certification (no problems in terms of usage performance, absolutely no false marks), and mandatory 3C certification (security is guaranteed, personal safety, and host safety). And it supports seven years of replacement, which is equivalent to triple insurance. Then there are no worries, just buy it!
NE 650 The actual experimental conversion efficiency has reached the ceiling of gold certification, and the curve is as stable as a dog, and it will not lose its chain even if it is used for a long time.
NE 650 uses expensive JP all-Japanese capacitors, which are stable output and durable. After all, as a power supply, stability and durability are the bottom line. In order to ensure that high-power graphics cards operate at 100% performance, it adopts the LLC+DC-DC solution to enhance its cross-load capacity!
This is also the important reason why the power supply is an important reason. A good power supply can make CPU+GPU run at full speed , pull i7 to i9; a garbage power supply will only make CPU+GPU run slowly, drag i7 to i5. Every penny you save on power will be deducted from the performance of your computer ten or a hundred times!
[Low load, low speed, super quiet]
NE 650 In the case of low load (when the computer is standby or working), the speed of the cooling fan will be intelligently reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of saving power and silent. Even when running a large game, the noise generated by its speed is within a controllable range when making a picture.
[Summary]
Power purchase, my suggestion for you is to look at the certification first, then the heat dissipation, and finally the actual W number. The gold-medal full-module power supply of Antiac NE 650 is still worth buying. Don’t think it’s expensive. With the ultra-high conversion efficiency of NE 650, you can save 20% of the power per month. (I charge about 200 yuan per month, and I can save 480 yuan a year) Buying this power supply is like giving it for free!
I also have some suggestions for the perfect Antec NE 650: ① When installing this nameplate label, when combined with the Guardian chassis, it is upside down, and it is blank to turn to the other side. It is recommended that you add one and paste it yourself; ② RGB lighting, although it may have a little impact on the power line, I still hope to get the RGB version of the gold medal power supply.
Neptune 240 Integrated water-cooled radiator: [Yan·Cool·Black·Love]
radiator is the most direct and effective hardware to increase the CPU running frequency. The original small fan can naturally be used. However, when running a large program or rendering a picture, the CPU will overheat frequently because of running a large program, triggering self-protection and then reducing the frequency. Then the computer got stuck...
I originally didn't plan to buy an titanium Neptune integrated water-cooled radiator. I thought that the chassis power supply was all titanium, but there was no obvious logo exposed, so I also recharged it for my faith. The Neptune series has a good reputation, so I bought it.
It has many accessories and buckles, and all kinds of platforms can deal with it. There are even unpopular TR4. Although I can't use it, I feel very happy to watch it.
Antiac Lighting Controller.
Antiac series product manual is really a baby. I have never installed water cooling before. Follow the illustrations and complete it directly at one time.So happy!
[Four kinds of light effects, such as water , syr ]
[Strong cooling, cool like ice]
Water cooling is faster than air cooling and has strong stability. The disadvantage is that it is high price, high noise, and more electricity-consuming. But compared to air cooling, it looks so good, with a luminous logo and various light effects. Neptune uses solid materials and is equipped with luxurious equipment. It is 28 on standby, and it is loaded less than 70.
Neptune 240 is so powerful because it uses a 0.8mm pure copper base plate, with a large area, a shovel-type design, and the heat dissipation effect is very obvious. When I bought it, I had picture and it was made of silicone grease. It can be used directly or you can replace it with better silicone grease yourself.
cold ferry uses a thickened waterway wall of 0.28mm. Although I don’t know what it means, it feels amazing! You are cold and you have the final say!
Of course, two RGB glitter fans are indispensable, which are more beautiful than the ones included in the chassis. In order to prevent vibration from causing noise, there are buffer pads at the four corners of the fan, which looks very reliable.
In fact, Neptune 240 is actually less noise than the original radiator in most of the time. This optimization is a bit magical. It can be said that it is not easy for integrated water cooling to achieve this noise control.
[Innovative patent, ultra-thin cold head]
The general integrated water cooling radiator has a heavy and heavy cold head, after all, it integrates water pumps, circuits, etc. The cold head of Neptune 240 can be regarded as light and exquisite...
It innovatively transfers the water pump from the cold head to the cold line, reducing the space of the cold head, so that the memory stick will not be blocked, and the living space of the large heat dissipation south bridge is also better.
is smaller and thinner than the original radiator. For my M-ATX motherboard, the lightweight Neptune 240 is really very friendly.There is actually another advantage in moving the water pump to the cold drain, that is...
[Love is stronger than gold, firm]
Many people abandon the integrated water cooling radiator because the cold head is too heavy to press the motherboard to press the CPU, and the vibration caused by the water pump working for a long time may affect the service life of the CPU...
This problem does not exist at Neptune 240, because it is light and thin, its cold head has no water pump, bit no! Of course, this amazing little idea will also bring a little trouble. Neptune, which is nominally 240, is slightly longer than other brands of cold rows! Used to release water pump!
This means that most cases (claiming to support 360 water cooling) cannot install Neptune 360... So although the Guardian chassis supports dual 360 water drain installation, I still bought Neptune 240! (In fact, it is cheaper than 240)
[Summary]
Antiac Neptune 240 integrated water cooling radiator is still very good, satisfying the cravings of hand-dried players for water cooling. It has light effects, logo, has fast cooling and is not very loud. You can buy it for fun.
I still have some suggestions about Neptune: ① The price is a bit high, just be cheaper; ② Neptune 360 is too expensive...
After working for the whole afternoon, I finally installed the computer. Let's try its overall cooling effect!
First use the entertainment master to measure the standby temperature! At 22 degrees in Zhejiang, the CPU standby temperature is 25 and the hard disk temperature is 29 (m.2 interface, take a look at the temperature in the machine box)!
Turn on roaster mode, which is the stress test, barely turned on seven frames, the CPU usage rate was stable at 92%, the CPU temperature rose to 58 degrees (it was only 60 degrees close to full load, I regret buying a motherboard that does not support overclocking!), the hard disk temperature rose to 31 degrees (the ambient temperature only increased by 2 degrees, I have to say that the dual air duct + 5 fans in the Guardian chassis are too powerful)!
Entertainment Master’s heat resistance stress test recommended for baking machine for three minutes. The oven is over, turn off the test window, and the temperature drops directly! It may be back to 27 degrees in just three seconds. This instant refrigeration technology is really nice!
Want to play games and do e-sports, and want to learn rendering and editing. Don’t miss this Antik Guardian FLUX case, the heat dissipation is so powerful! Then the NE 650W power supply is too stable. Whatever you do with the roaster, it doesn’t move at all. Adding Shanghai Wangxing 240 is simply the preferred combination of national e-sports, the price of civilians, and the enjoyment of high-end!
If you plan to install a computer while you are on the Double Eleven discount, you must evenly give the chassis power radiator a little. Only when the heat dissipation of the entire machine is done well can the computer play its due performance. Don’t use your i7 as an i5 in order to save one or two hundred yuan! (Really lose 1,000 yuan)
