Cost effective replacement large screen LCD liquid cooling Xianma XW360 PLUS installation sneak peek

Mondo Digital Updated on 2024-02-06

I've always wanted to feel the water cooling with a screen, but I didn't have a chance at all. This is not to take advantage of the fact that there are friends around you to install the first to buy the accessories of the installed machine, there is an integrated water cooling and DDR5 memory, overclocking three god machine chassis, I will be cheeky to borrow it for evaluation first, thank you friends for giving me this opportunity to appear.

The water block with the screen in the picture is the Xianma XW360-PLUS white model, the biggest difference from the previous non-plus model of water cooling is that it uses a larger round IPS-LCD full-color LCD screen, and the screen size comes to 28 inches, with a resolution of 400 400, in terms of PPI accuracy, it also belongs to the category of Retina high-definition screens.

This time, I would like to share with you the installation based on the GIGABYTE platform to see what kind of gameplay is used for water cooling with screens. Overclocking the triple chassis has plenty of space inside the chassis, so you can upgrade the accessories later. Thank you for supporting me all over the world, and I also welcome everyone to like the collection and reward three times.

Let's take a look at the key points of this set:

The overclocking Sanshen chassis is definitely a more alternative choice in the whole tower chassis, and the side magnetic transmission tempered glass side cover + side IO interface layout are very special. In the past, I had only seen a chassis with a side I-O interface layout on an ITX chassis or a MATX chassis, but I didn't expect it to be the same on a full-tower chassis.

DDR5 memoryMy friend chose Jinbaida Yinjue, considering that my friend likes Samsung memory particles, so DDR5 memory also chose Jinbaida Samsung D-Die memory particles, the default frequency DDR5-5600. It is also more suitable for my friend who doesn't like to toss memory overclocking, and likes to use native frequency.

The case fan is more messy, friends choose a lampless fan for installation, here in order to facilitate the display of RGB effect, I chose to mix the first horse water-cooled RGB fan, overclocked triple RGB fan, and Josbo ZF-120 building block fan.

My friend's graphics card has not yet been finalized, and at this stage, it should be temporarily transitioned to the core display. I happen to have a Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card in my hand, and I can still get it at this price.

My friend is going to buy an ASRock Z790 motherboard, and I personally recommend him to choose a GIGABYTE motherboard. In the Royal Three Family, Gigabyte is the most cost-effective choice.

My friend has finalized the installation of the last 14th generation Core i5-14600K processor, because the motherboard has not yet decided whether to buy ASRock or Gigabyte and is troubled. Then use my GIGABYTE Z790 motherboard + 13th Gen Core i5-13000KF processor to help verify whether the pyrolysis power consumption of the XW360-PLUS can be suppressed.

The buckle back plate that comes standard with Xianma water cooling is still very firm.

Xianma has printed the model number on the packaging box of the water cooling radiator, and the words XW360 PLUS can be clearly seen, but they are all variations of the word art, of which "0" is the core component of the Xianma water cooling product: water block with screen.

I have to say that all kinds of screws, fastener backplates, Intel processor brackets and AMD processor brackets are all available as standard with Xianma water cooling.

My friend bought the version with a fan to save trouble, and Xianma actually has a version without a fan, which will be significantly cheaper in terms of price.

The three standard 120mm fans are connected in series through wires, which is still a big gap in appearance compared to building block fans, but the advantage of connecting through cables is that you don't have to worry about the problem that the building block fan splicing will not be firm and loose.

The included cable is also a FAN fan header, two 5V ARGB headers (male and female), and one of them has a hat to protect the pins.

The advantage of buying a finished integrated water cooling radiator is that you don't need to manually screw the screws yourself, of course, it depends on whether the user wants to adjust the direction of the installation, if you want to change the direction of the fan cable, you have to re-turn the fan direction and re-screw the screws.

The side of the XT128 fan is made of aluminum alloy, and if it is an infinity mirror, it can transmit light to show the side ARGB lighting effect.

It is recommended that the protective film of the water block screen should not be removed first, and then be removed after the final installation.

The volume of the water block of Xianma is too heavy to hold in one hand, which is enough to show that the materials of Xianma's water block are very sufficient.

At first glance, you can see that it is the packaging box of Jinbaida memory module, although it is a universal outer box, but the recognition is still quite high.

On the back of the box, there is a window to see part of the main body of the memory, the model, the capacity and other information.

Each pair of Jinbaida memory sticks is placed in the plastic box in the package, which can play a role in protecting the memory during transportation.

The silver-white metal heat dissipation vest with the black PCB looks classy.

Because my friend doesn't like light pollution very much, I chose such a simple vest strip, but the logo of Jinbaida is printed with a very textured texture.

Although it is Samsung's original D-Die particle memory, the factory frequency is 5600MHz, but Jinbaida also reserves a certain amount of memory overclocking space, and I have tested it myself to overclock to 6000MHz It is also relatively easy.

Want to see how the Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card performs under the 13th Gen Core i5-13600KF processor + GIGABYTE Z790 motherboard? Let's take it a step further.

The Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card adopts a dual-fan design, and it is also one of the few graphics cards that supports fan intelligent start-stop technology at a price of less than 1,500 yuan.

The back plate of the Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card looks like a plastic material, but it is actually a metal backplate to reinforce, which the Blue Halberd has done very conscientiously. This can prevent the PCB from bending and causing poor GPU contact, and strengthen the stability of the GPU.

Viewed from the top of the graphics card, the outline looks more linear, with the simple lettering of Intel Arc and Index series on the front and back, respectively, and the nickel-plated heat pipes and heat fins inside can be seen in the middle cut-out. The blue halberd also chose to be equipped with dual 8-pin graphics card power supply interfaces, the GPU power supply phase is 6+4 phase power supply, and the power consumption is only 134W.

The front of the graphics card is made up of two independent custom sail wing fans, each of which is 90mm, which is very guaranteed in terms of heat dissipation efficiency.

I forgot to mention that the back buckle of the Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card is made of SK7 alloy steel, which looks quite textured.

One overclocked EF120 case fan, as a fan at the rear of the case, the heat dissipation and appearance are sufficient.

The overclocked Sanjin can support EATX motherboards up to the most, so the full-tower chassis test is still very heavy.

Xianma XW360-PLUS integrated liquid cooling installation must be fixed with the screws provided by the original configuration, so that it can be firm.

Luckily, the XW360-Plus all-in-one liquid cooler also supports ARGB lighting, so it's easier to manage the lighting through the GIGABYTE GCC software.

The XW360-PLUS all-in-one liquid cooler is indeed larger, after all, it has 28-inch large screen,Plus's screen has been upgraded to a matte screen,The advantage is that the anti-glare will be better,It may not be as transparent as the mirror screen in terms of screen display。

Or do you expect the XW360-PLUS all-in-one liquid cooling to be able to produce 240 specifications of all-in-one liquid cooling, maybe it will be called XW240-PLUS all-in-one liquid cooling? In this way, those who want to install a matx chassis have another choice.

The full-tower chassis of the overclocked tri-god machine can support 7 PCI bezel positions, and basically the graphics card with four slots can be used. In addition, it also supports vertical installation of graphics cards, which is limited to only 3 PCI baffles, so it is limited to three-slot graphics cards.

If there is a pity, the overclocked Tri-God full-tower chassis lacks support for the USB Type-C interface.

After powering on, you can see that the screen of the water block shows SAMA (Xianma logo) by default.

*The screen theme can be used with the samamonitor management software of the first horse.

For those who like personalization, it is also a good experience to choose a wallpaper that suits them.

If you like it, you can upload a GIF to make the screen of the water block full of vitality.

It can be said that in this price range of products with screen water cooling, the Xianma XW360 Plus experience is really good.

The preset water-cooling theme styles of Xianma are still relatively diverse, and you can choose [screen rotation], [display data], [font color], [adjust screen brightness] and other operations in [screen display].

In [System Information], you can see the monitoring information related to CPU, GPU, RAM, SYSTEM, NETWORK, etc.

In the [Settings], you can view the sensor monitoring data you want to obtain, and the software can automatically identify the hardware information of the CPU, graphics card, and memory.

If you want to play tricks by yourself, you can customize them in [Theme Editor], you can give full play to your imagination, or you can go to the Internet to search and select the theme shared by netizens** to import and load the theme for use.

This is the software of the first horse,In fact, players who have played the secondary screen of the chassis and the water-cooled screen should know the Turing Zhixian,In fact, the technical solution of the Xianma's water cooling with the screen is actually customized by Turing Zhixian。

As far as the software is concerned, the operation interface is similar.,But Turing Zhixian's software theme list obviously has a lot more themes.,There are themes in the preset themes for the three families**。

Through the [Typhoon] software to query the relevant information of the memory module, you can see that the Jinbaida DDR5-5600 memory module is the Samsung D-Die memory particle.

Through the [CPU-Z] software, I basically obtained the DRAM manufacturer, which is Samsung.

Blue Halberd A580 IndexCheck [GPU-Z] software to get hardware information, check [DXVA Check] and find that the hardware decoding of GPU can support 8K resolution.

Through the [HWINFO64] software, you can also view the relevant hardware configuration information, and the Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card has enabled Rebar technology by default.

Hardware information obtained by the hardware dog.

Hardware information obtained by Master Lu.

Under the double-baking test, the maximum power consumption of the graphics card did not exceed 134W, and the maximum power consumption of the processor with Xianma water cooling did not exceed 166W.

This is the end of the experience, and I will summarize the friends who have pulled to the end:

Xianma currently only has XW360 PLUS, a specification of water cooling with a screen, if you want to get 240 water cooling, you can pass.

In addition to the Samamonitor management software, the XW360 Plus liquid cooling can also use Turing Zhixian 21-inch water cooling management software is equivalent to more theme choices for nothing.

The performance of the Blue Halberd A580 Index graphics card is not weak, and at 2K resolution, DX11 games and DX12 games are well optimized, and the frame rate will be qualitatively improved after Intel Xess technology is turned on.

If you don't like to toss memory overclocking, Jinbaida DDR5 Silver Jue Samsung D-Die is running at 5600 MHz memory frequency by default, compared with many DDR5 memory defaults to 4800 MHz in memory read and write performance will be greatly improved, and compared with Samsung's original three-year warranty, Jinbaida provides a lifetime warranty, you can rest assured.

The overclocked Sanjin case does not have a USB Type-C front chassis I O port, which is a complete waste for the motherboard to have USB Type-E (front USB Type-C).

The above is this sharing, thanks**. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
