Foreword
Hello everyone, today unboxed a cost-effective ITX motherboard, Colorful CVN B760i Frozen WiFi D5 landing ship, 4-year warranty, power supply and heat dissipation materials are very good, BIOS has also been upgraded compared with before.
Unboxing
This motherboard is currently priced at more than 800 yuan on the whole network, and it is relatively inexpensive among the B760 ITX motherboards.
White PCB, silver-white heat dissipation armor, the appearance and texture are very good.
The motherboard comes with accessories such as SATA cable, WiFi antenna, and M2 studs a.
pcie5.0x16 interface, metal reinforcement.
Storage 2 m2 2280 length PCIe 40x4 connectors, one of which is on the back, and 4 SATA3 ports.
One USB-C 10Gbps port on the front.
The 3 fan connectors are in the middle of the top, and there is a 5V 3-pin ARGB connector on the left side.
The power supply interface of the CPU is 8pin design, the power supply material, 7+1+1 phase, of which the CPU is 7 phase 90A DRMOS, this material with i5-13600kf i5-14600kf is no pressure, the 14th generation i7 is only for daily games, it is enough not to do a long-term baking test.
This small fan for heat dissipation is not very noisy, and it is not felt in normal use.
In terms of IO interfaces, the details are as follows
1 Clear CMOS button.
1 x HDMI 20,1 dp 12** interface.
1 USB-C 5Gbps port.
4 x USB 20 interface.
2 x USB 32 10Gbps interface.
1 x 25G wired network interface.
The wireless network card is AX200 and supports WiFi6 and Bluetooth 53
CPU measurement
The motherboard supports 104 microcode, CPU buck, it is recommended to set it as soon as possible.
The setup steps are as follows, go to the motherboard BIOS settings interface, click the overclocking OC in the BIOS, select the CPU microcode switch, and select version 104.
voltage setting, -015V, the voltage can also be lowered, but it is best to set it up and run the R23 test.
The i5-13600kf CPU-Z after step-down shows a voltage of 1Around 27V, the AIDA64 FPU is used to burn in the test, and the power consumption is stable at about 159W.
The i5-13600KF was tested with R23, with a multi-core score of 23123, and the performance was reduced at 104 microcode, with no significant loss of performance.
Memory testing
First of all, I used a CPU and memory that were not specially tuned for testing.
DDR5 16GBX2 Hynix ADiDie chips, memory successfully overclocked 7800 frequency.
The memory timing is 36-46-46-90, TM5 passed the test smoothly, and the voltage is 145v didn't tune the small ginseng those.
The memory BIOS settings are shown in the figure below, and the memory voltage VDD and VDDQ are both 145V, VCDQ CPU VDD2 voltage is 14v。
The memory frequency is 7800, TCL 36, TRCD 46, TRAS 90, and I set the rest to automatic, you can appropriately lower the optimization parameters.
DDR5 24GBX2 Hynix New MDiDie Chip, Memory XMP 6800 Frequency, Timing 34-46-46-108, Passed TM5 Test.
In terms of overclocking, it may be that the optimization of the new MDie particles is not perfect enough, and the measured frequency cannot be overclocked around 7800, and the memory performance is also a little worse.
bios
It is recommended to upgrade the latest BIOS of the motherboard first, which is more conducive to performance and compatibility.
BIOS upgrade, easier to operate than I used CVN B760M in June before, no need to turn off firmware me flashing first, click on the tool to select BIOS upgrade, select the USB flash drive ** good BIOS device, click Quick Update.
The BIOS graphical interface is designed in black and red, which looks simple and comfortable.
In the main interface, enable XMP memory, set fan speed, set the boot sequence required by the system, display the hard disk, and display the temperature and voltage of the CPU motherboard memory.
Intelligent overclocking in the lower right corner, it is recommended to use the default mode, the performance mode is relatively high for CPU overclocking, and your CPU physique may not be able to hold up.
The fan is more convenient to set, and friends who have mute requirements can choose the mute of the preset gear, or you can set it manually.
CPU and memory voltage settings, the specific location is not difficult to find, just under the voltage setting of the overclocking OC menu, which supports CPU step-down.
In terms of overclocking memory, the motherboard supports memory VDD, memory VDDQ, SA voltage, CPU VDD2, and CPU VCCDD settings.
iGame Center software
igame control center,The lite version I chose this time,The whole process of installation is very fast,I didn't install a lot of things.,It's the way I want it to be (simple enough),The size of the installation is built with 29.6mb。
You can see the configuration information of the computer on the main interface, and the temperature and fan speed information are displayed on the right side, and the fan speed setting is also supported.
The motherboard supports RGB lighting control, supports software to turn off the lights with one click, and supports adjusting the brightness of the lights.
It also supports the display of monitoring information, which can be displayed in both games and desktops.
Summary
Colorful CVN B760i Frozen WiFi D5, the measured performance expectations, the memory can be overclocked to 7800 frequency, and the CPU uses 90A dr. in terms of materialsMOS, with a CPU with no more than 253W power consumption is no problem.
Not only the hardware is stacked, but also the support at the software level, providing a simple 104 microcode switching, really from the player's point of view, considering the pain points of ITX installation, through CPU voltage reduction to reduce power consumption and heating, reduce the temperature of CPU in ITX small chassis, so as to ensure the stable output of computer performance, it can be seen that the continuous progress of colorful motherboards, with good intentions and steadfastness to make products. Everyone is more worried about the BIOS, basic functions and overclocking memory, these are no problem, it is relatively simple to get started, and it is more friendly to novices, and the colorful motherboard BIOS is constantly improving and improving, I believe that the future will be better.
In terms of warranty, the CVN series also has the same 4-year warranty as the igame series, which shows that they are very sincere.
Finally, I hope that Colorful can maintain BIOS update support for the motherboard and continue to optimize performance, such as Hynix's new MDIE particles.
