officially enters July today, and students have officially started summer vacation mode. At the same time, the "game launch season" has also started, and many game masterpieces have been released, including "The Elder Scrolls Online: High Island", "Monster Hunter: Rise" and "F1 2022". For students who have just finished the stressful exams, especially the college entrance examination and the high school entrance examination, it is worth buying your favorite games to relax. In addition, many "quasi-college students" must also be planning to buy a PC that can "camp" for four years in college. If you still donāt know how to choose, you might as well take a look at the 3 PCs we recommend in this issue.
Comment: If you configured a PC with similar performance like this half a year ago, you would have spent about 20,000 yuan. But now the price of graphics cards has dropped significantly, and the installation cost has dropped a lot. The Gengsheng GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Zhuifeng graphics card in the configuration is currently a mid-to-high-end product. Although its performance is not top-notch, it is enough to cope with various AAA game masterpieces on the market. At the same time, students with creative needs can also use NVIDIA Studio to provide creative support in Autodesk Maya, UE 5, Marmoset Toolbag, Adobe Substance 3D Painter and Photoshop. The graphics card's Boost frequency can reach 1665MHz, has 4864 stream processors , and also has 8GB GDDR6 video memory, 256bit width, and the equivalent video memory frequency is 14Gbps, which can handle both games and creations.
In addition, the processor paired with the graphics card is AMD the newly launched Ryzen 7 5800X3D. This processor has 32MB of L3 cache in a 2D layout, and also provides an additional 64MB of L3 cache through 3D stacking technology. Its level 3 cache capacity is up to 96MB, plus the level 2 cache (4MB), the total cache capacity reaches an astonishing 100MB. In addition, the TDP thermal design power consumption of Ryzen 7 5800X3D is consistent with that of Ryzen 7 5800, which is still 105W. The increase in L3 cache capacity does not increase power consumption. Since the Ryzen 7 5800X3D does not come with a radiator, in order to suppress its "fire", we paired it with a cost-effective air-cooled radiator with 7 heat pipes.
Key hardware analysis
Seagate Coolplay 530 solid state drive + Seagate Barracuda 4TB mechanical hard drive. Reason for recommendation of
: ās excellent storage system can not only improve the performance of the entire machine, but also provide users with an intuitive experience. In the configuration, we recommend choosing the combination of Seagate Coolplay 530 SSD + Seagate Barracuda 4TB mechanical hard drive. The former can bring high-speed reading and writing, whether it is game scenes or creative material loading, it is faster than ordinary SSD. The latter's 4TB mechanical hard drive can store four years of college study materials and record every detail of your college years.
Seagate Coolplay 530 SSD uses PCIe 4.0 Ć4 technology and NVMe 1.4 protocol, with a sequential read speed of 7300MB/s. Its main controller is Phison PS5018-E18, which uses TSMCās 12nm process and can effectively reduce heat generation compared to other main controllers on the market. The main control chip has three ARM Cortex-R5 cores and a dual-core CoXProcessor processor for data transmission and address conversion, and supports the fourth-generation LDPC error correction engine. The flash memory particles use the 176-layer 3D TLC of Micron , and the transmission rate is increased to 1600MT/s. Compared with 96-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory, in addition to improved transmission performance, 176-layer 3D TLC NAND brings better durability to Seagate Coolplay 530 SSD. The total write life of the 1TB version reaches 1275TB. This kind of total write life is particularly suitable for users who need high-frequency use. Even if 70% of the hard drive capacity is written and deleted every day, its lifespan can last for five years. In terms of reliability, Seagate Coolplay 530 SSD provides a 5-year warranty and a free data recovery service within 3 years.
Seagate Barracuda series mechanical hard drives are a series of products launched by Seagate mainly for home storage needs. The 4TB capacity model we recommend is ST4000DM004, which adopts a dual-disc design, rotates at 5400RPM, and has a cache capacity of 256MB. It uses a SATA 6Gb/s interface, with a maximum sustained transfer speed of up to 190MB/s. The price of about 500 yuan is very cost-effective when used with an SSD as a "data warehouse". At the same time, Seagate provides a two-year replacement service for it, allowing users to use it with more confidence.
