Dual system Chassis (PHANTEKS) PK-414E, a machine with dual purpose enough

Foreword

     

It is said that today's DIY are replaced with generations after generation. It is still our previous DIY. It is only an upgrade every time, from the low-end to the high-end, from the old generation to the next generation, generation after generation, occasionally on the point. Fresh, in fact, there is not much difference, is still CPU, memory, motherboard, hard disk, graphics card, chassis, power supply. Speaking of particulars, I recently saw a very special chassis in Jingdong. The Wind Tracker's 414E has been released for some time , but it doesn't seem to see how anybody has installed it. It feels a bit complicated. However , the 414E chasing after the winder feels very suitable for me. The desk of the home study is a three-meter desk by the window. If the two ITX computers are put together, they are small but occupy too much space. This machine is suitable for at least the floor space. Not much, although it should be installed more complicated, but it is not a problem.

   

The most important time some time ago Jingdong just shelves, this 414E chassis gifted chasers were a two power distributor, and special 839, so Bingzhe try to install the mood to buy. The next step is to buy a bunch of accessories. By the way, the original ITX chassis power supply sold the rest of the ITX platform, and a matching MATX platform would be enough, so it will have this time installed.

Accessories display

CPU

E3 1231V3 Malaysian version, with I3 6100, a quad-core eight-thread, a high-frequency dual-core four-thread, God U and silent second full touch


RAM

Is DDR4 strange? Haha is different from the other two, because a white Granville is a gift from the main board. Buying a double channel does not consider Avatar because the individual prefers Chichi; some of the magnesium yellow vests have nothing to say.

Posture is good

Motherboard

Because M6I is not displayed before the old, look at B150 it, when saying to the B150M MORTAR color when the official description of the motherboard is with a red LED light, so with a red radiator, but the red of the motherboard The color of the LED is really dark, and it may be related to the low-end board, but the light is always better than no light.

Accessories are quite rich, especially the motherboard feels full weight, although it is 4 layers, but enough, but also 6-phase power supply

Directly on the CPU and memory, double platform exposed face

A single platform is okay, so many USB3.0 ports on the dual platform are full, so I don’t know how much to explode.


heat sink


Herd of Heroes?

The rear fan has been replaced. The TC12LS replaces the red fan in order to match the color. TC12DX I think I3 only needs one fan, and the other one is installed directly on the chassis.


Video card

A rice meal AA meal, it is hard to buy HIS public version R9 290.

If the public version of 290 has a backplane, it will force a promotion.

Chassis

The overall feeling of the chassis is relatively high, it may be because of the relationship between the upper and lower dual-platform and a little fat, but the texture is still good

The front face is very similar to the previous generation of Herd PK-813

The overall internal structure, modeling and PK-813 exactly the same, this is the default MATX single platform water on my feeling, above can be placed 360 monsters row.

The top is similar to the chasing wind PK-813, but the mesh is non-detachable

On the other side of the panel, a 240-row heat dissipating position is equipped with a dust-proof net and black shielded plastic double layer, and the power supply position has a magnet dust-proof net.

Single-platform back, 14CM fan, after the replacement of dual-platform only on the 12CM fan.


List of attachment boxes, quite a lot of things

power supply

Although it is a tsunami rhyme, it is certainly not unreasonable to have a lot of people to buy. After all, the 9S and the warranty still have work.


Nameplate and parameters, another reason to choose this is that single-channel 12V, and dual systems do not have to worry about 12V power distribution problems


Dual System Upgrade Kit

Kit box is simple and ordinary corrugated packaging, no color

List of all accessories


Hopper Power Distributor

The power distributor, as if the current purchase of PK-414 is a gift, so do not care about the price.

If there is no such distributor, I will not buy Chaser 414E chassis, otherwise two power troubles, there is a parameter in the specification, the maximum power 452W, the maximum output power of the ATX and CPU part of the two platforms, do not calculate not Take the PCIE and SATA power of the distributor.



The ontology, in theory, should be the distribution of the ATX 24P and CPU 8P, one in and two out, each with one LED, each LED lamp power will be on. CPU's forget about a 8P I feel should be enough to bring E3 and I3, but for YY, the power input is done 8P+4P, and the output power as long as the motherboard needs on the line.


Custom line

It has always been their own line, and this time they bought a lot of materials, because this line is equivalent to one in two, equivalent to three sets of lines

The boring production process does not say, look directly at the finished product, is it a lot of lines? Haha  

Volume 1

It's really big

On the power supply, eh, this power supply is nearly full, and the remaining 3 SATA ports have a PCIE port, which is a bit cruel.

The rest of the power plug is the two groups of ATX24P+CPU8P

Connect the power distributor

Connect the power cords of the two platforms  

What a big and big one, at the time it was not enough to make the line a bit longer, but this look a little scared, can you manage the line?


Installed

The installation process is naturally the first to upgrade the chassis into a dual system chassis, according to the instructions to unload the screws to remove the backboard is quite convenient, press the good screws on the line, and then install the front IO box and the ITX backplane inside, the dual system is upgraded Very simple

Motherboard heatsink bracket

This is not filmed with silicone grease, on the radiator

Upper fan

Installing the motherboard is relatively simple

Then insert the graphics card, by the way, add a fan at the top, a 12CM fan behind the MATX

The first part of the back took care of the switch and the IO line that came with the chassis. Because the top left corner of the box is exactly where the power distributor is installed, it needs to be vacated. After the distributor, there are also a lot of lines that need to be sorted. Well, what I do is a silicone cord, which is still relatively good.

On the power supply and distributor, this line, um, facing this back silly looked for a way to set this line for almost half an hour.

Three position LED lights


After the machine is finally installed, it is a bit complicated. It is equivalent to installing 2 computers.  


test

The test is necessary, this power splitter is equivalent to an aggregation, so it is OK to measure the power cord directly. The double platform is nothing more than a superposition.
I3 6100+7850 really is not covered, standby 40W, and E3 1231V3+R9290 standby has about 75W
When testing 3D MARK FIRESTRIKE, the peak of I3 platform is about 120W, while that of E3+290 is about 360W.
The test result is that the I3 6100 has a high single-core score and can perform most of the normal frequency games. The E3 multi-core performance is good. The R290 is close to the NV970.

ITX E3+290

MATX I3 6100+7850  


to sum up

The installation was completed, but there are also some insights, mainly on the chassis, dispensers and other accessories.


For these two ITX platforms and MATX platforms:

1, I3 6100 single-core performance than the E3 1231 V3 is high, as long as the CPU frequency of the game, is indeed I3 silent second full ah, in fact, for most ordinary users, I3 6100 this U can really handle most applications Now.

2, then I tested the I3 6100 integrated graphics HD530, in the LOL 1080P resolution to maintain full effect 60-70 frames or so, then only LOL students can save the video card, save the money N rice, etc. And 1070, A meal, etc. 480 haha.

3, R9 290 series is really hot, and 7850 and its vest R7 270 price is really high.

4, MSI B150M MORTAR motherboard M.2 only M.2 WIFI? Why can't we support M.2 SSD? How good is the last M.2 SSD, see MSI Z170 MORTAR board has M.2.

5. Asustek ROG M6I is still quite an ITX board I like most now, except that it only supports SATA channel M.2.


For this 414E chassis and power splitter:

1, if it is a dual system air-cooled, like I use a power splitter, then you have to be able to withstand such a line situation, but you can also set a separate custom line, plus two sets of 24P and CPU8P extension line also Yes.

2, if it is a dual system air-cooled, no power distributor, then the dual power supply wiring you have to carefully consider.

3, this chasing wind 414E chassis if it is a single system MATX, I think the limitations are relatively small, double card MATX water on the top of the 360 ​​monster row, plus 240 rows after the 240 row, unless so used, otherwise there are many other more A good chassis can be used. Personally think that this chassis is prepared for the two platforms, there is no need to split the dual system suite to sell.

4, this set of dual-platform power divider only considers the ATX24P and CPU8P, did not take into account the SATA power supply, hope that follow-up can extend the SATA power supply through relay considerations, otherwise ordinary 3.5-inch disk and the like is more painful .
