Nowadays, more and more PC DIY hardware has been added to the screen, and the current common one is to add it to the all-in-one water block, and individual brands of graphics cards will also be added, and there are relatively few models with screens in the case, but recently a certain brand has even added a cooling fan to the screen, and I also have an idea here, what would be the effect if the above-mentioned DIY hardware with accessories were combined to assemble a host? But that's just a thought for me at the moment. But the chassis + water cooling with a screen seems to be the easiest effect to achieve at present, so there is today's host.
Let's start with a brief list of configurations:
CPU: Intel 14th Gen Core i5-14600K
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Strix B760-G Gaming WiFi Blowing Snow.
Graphics: ASUS Tianxuan RTX4060Ti O8G Gaming
Memory: HOF Pro DDR5 7000 32G
Solid-state: Samsung 980Pro 1TB
Radiator: Xianma XW240W
Chassis: G500
Power supply: Xianma XM750W
Fan: Xianma XT128DW
Saving: about 9k.
The chassis chose the flash scale G500,The main reason for choosing this is that it is currently the case with a more reasonable screen position on the market,Generally, you only need to glance at the screen information on the desktop to observe the screen information。
The G500's exterior design retains the family-style cube shape, but compared to other products in the company, the base has also been optimized, eliminating the usual four-round foot braces, and instead using a one-piece base and incorporating the iconic bottom side design.
In terms of interfaces, it comes standard with a Type-C and a USB30 interface.
The chassis is equipped with 11The 3-inch long secondary screen is placed in a position that is very suitable for desktop use. The official Flash Scale also provides a variety of preset themes for players to choose from.
The top of the case is covered with a magnetic dust filter, and the maximum support here is 240 all-in-one liquid cooling installation.
All side panels of the chassis are designed for snap-on, tool-free removal. The chassis supports up to M-ATX motherboards; It can support tower air cooling up to 170mm height; The graphics card slot is 4 slots, which is compatible with graphics cards within 400mm in length, which is enough to fit most of the 3-fan graphics cards on the market today. The overall dimensions of the chassis are maintained at 403mm 219 355mm (L W H), which should be regarded as one of the most compact M-ATX cases on the market at present.
There is also a fan and hard disk mounting position at the bottom of the case, you can choose to install three 120mm fans or one additional 35 inch HDD.
Power Supply** ATX power supply installation is supported.
The back of the chassis is equipped with 25-inch hard drive mounting position and a cable management compartment.
In terms of CPU, the choice is Intel Core i5-14600K, which adopts a hybrid CPU architecture of performance core + energy efficiency core, with 6 performance cores and 8 energy efficiency cores, a total of 14 cores and 20 threads, and the maximum turbo frequency can be 53GHz, with 20 PCIe 50 channels, 24MB of L3 cache, both gaming performance and productivity performance are very good.
In terms of motherboard, it is equipped with ASUS ROG Strix B760-G Gaming WiFi Blowing Snow, this motherboard is also one of the first choices for white hosts on the M-ATX platform.
The ASUS ROG Strix B760-G Gaming WiFi is not only beautiful in appearance, but also very good in terms of hardware configuration, with an external CPU interface of 8+4pin, a total of 12+1 phases of power supply on the board, and an output current of up to 60A per phase, which can be used to cope with the i5 level CPU without pressure, and the i7 level CPU can also be perfectly brought up.
There are two PCIe4 onboard0 m2 slots, one PCIe50 16 slots, and also has a graphics card easy to detach key, which is very practical.
In terms of memory, the Shadow HOF Pro DDR5 7000 32G was chosen.
The Shadow HOF Pro DDR5 memory inherits the characteristics of the previous HOF memory series, and it is also based on a white vest + white PCB-based shape design, but in terms of styling, this generation is mainly simple style, and the shape with fins and wings of the previous product is missing. But if I had to choose, I would go for the more minimalist style I have now.
In terms of nameplate information, the default XMP timing of the Shadow HOF Pro DDR5 7000 32G kit is CL32-42-42-112@145V, which belongs to the current high-end Hynix A-Die overclocking strip, according to the convention, in addition to the frequency can continue to increase, there is also a lot of room for optimization in the timing of the small ginseng, and the playability is worth looking forward to.
In terms of water cooling radiator, the choice is Xianma XW240W integrated water cooling radiator. This is also the most cost-effective all-in-one liquid cooling product with a screen on the market.
The biggest highlight of the XW240 series liquid cooling radiator is that the cold head has a piece of 21-inch, 480 480 resolution IPS LCD full-color screen, thanks to such a high resolution, its display effect is very delicate.
In terms of graphics card, it is equipped with ASUS Tianxuan RTX4060TI O8G Gaming.
In terms of case fans, I chose Xianma's XT128DW set fan.
The XT128 fan chosen this time is a version with ARGB, and the overall shape design of the fan matches the chassis very well, and it is also a square design. The frame is made of PBT530 material, and the fan bearing is made of FBD bearing, which can bring lower noise performance and longer operating life.
In terms of power supply, the shortest ATX power supply on the market was selected, and the length of the Xianma XM series power supply was only 122mm. In a front-mounted power supply design chassis such as the G400, the XM series power supplies can be compatible with longer graphics cards with the advantage of a shorter body factor.
Xianma XM series power supplies are currently available in 750W and 850W power versions, both of which are fully modular interface designed, and have also passed the 80PLUS Gold certification. The power supply adopts the common active PFC + full-bridge LLC resonant topology + synchronous rectification + DC-DC scheme of high-end power supply, and the 750W version is +5V and +33V is rated 20A output, and the combined output power is rated 100W; +12V is a single-channel design, and the maximum output can be 624A current, can output up to 7488W total power, total power is not a big problem to cope with the current high-end platform.
The power supply is designed for a full module interface, and a new interface color management is adopted, different types of interfaces are distinguished by different colors, such as the blue SATA power supply interface, the green motherboard 24pin interface, the white 12VHPWR interface, and the red CPU and graphics card power interface. The accessories have been basically introduced here, so let's take a look at the installation effect.
I chose the official set of preset white themes for the secondary screen, which is very suitable for the color matching of this configuration, and a number of monitoring parameters are better and more detailed than the general secondary screen.
In terms of the cold head theme, I also chose the white one, which mainly displays the CPU and GPU temperature information.
With a score of 14014 in 3DMark, this score is pretty good, with a graphics score of 13441, and according to the data given by 3DMark, Battlefield 5 is able to run at 125+ fps at 2K resolution.
At the same time, in the large-scale game load reflected in the 3DMark scoring process, the CPU temperature is up to 94°C, and the whole process basically hovers between 60-70°C; The maximum GPU temperature is only 58°C, and the whole process basically only hovers between 40-50°C, which can be seen that the temperature of this host is still very good in daily use, and the heat dissipation performance is OK. The next game benchmarks were all performed at 2k resolution.
Cyberpunk 2077, with low ray tracing turned on and DLSS auto turned on, the average FPS reaches 7383。
Assassin's Creed: Valhalla, high quality by default, with an average FPS of 103.
Forza Horizon 5 with very high image quality preset and an average frame rate of 170fps.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Shadows, high quality by default, DLSS with ray tracing on and off, and an average frame rate of 60fps.
Horizon: Dawn, preset ultimate quality, average FPS of 106.
In terms of extreme temperature testing, the Intel Core i5-14600K temperature remained at 82°C after 10 minutes of continuous double baking, the core temperature stabilized at 93°C, and the P-core remained at 518GHz, E core held at 399GHz, there is no frequency reduction in the whole process, and the overall performance of CPU temperature is acceptable; The GPU temperature is maintained at 60°C, which is very good. It can be seen that the heat dissipation capacity of the flash scale G500 is still okay, especially the graphics card, which has excellent performance.
At this point, this installation sharing is also over, I hope to bring you a reference
