GeForce GTX1080 Founders Edition Ultimate Trust Recharge
First introduced the ultimate belief, the main green video card believe that everyone first thought is the Nvidia public version, especially these generations of Titans, alloy turbine, almost the game player real artifact equipment, faith recharge MAX, this generation of public The official version gave the founder version of the name Founders Edition. In fact, I originally started the MSI GTX960 GAMING 100ME, a thousand yuan price can be said that the only eye-catching and green theme of the video card, did not expect a local young man to book the latest GTX1080, in my sugar shells and hold thigh offensive, promised to borrow to play a few Days, the public version of faith, the host immediately upgrade a few grades, after all, this unit price of graphics cards are more expensive than other accessories add up, there is a local tyrants friends is good.
GTX1080 is based on Nvidia's latest Pascal Pascal architecture, with many powerful features and new features, such as core frequency increase, base frequency of 1607MHz, boost speed of 1733MHz, overclocking 2GHz is not really a dream, memory upgrade is the same, the first use of GDDR5X particles, frequency Breakthrough 10GHz, and then everyone discussed the more popular is the low power consumption, TDP is only 180W, the power supply interface is only equipped with a single 8pin only, completely abandoned the past high-end graphics to give people the impression of a tiger.
I remember the last time I played Nvidia's public version of the graphics card or the GTX680 era, and there was no metal Titan Warrior at the time, just a plastic shell turbo radiator. The new Titan Warrior material and structure is still the same, but the shape changes a lot, probably afraid of players to produce aesthetic fatigue it, the actual is the original shell cut a few more angular, cutting diamonds? Carefully look at the new shape of the bump and the Nvidia Logo logo diamond is a bit similar, but there are also many players that prefer the previous simple style, see it.
The backboard turned out not to be an entire block. I didn't know what Nvidia was doing. The backboard looked like it had a cheap plastic feel, but it was indeed a metal material. I used the face to confirm the coldness of the ice.
DVI + HDMI + 3 × DP A total of five video output interfaces, the same as the previous generation of Titans, note that this DVI does not support converting VGA analog signals. The PCI baffle opens a lot of heat dissipation holes, because the heat outlet of the turbine air duct is in this place, unlike non-public open radiators.
2 × SLI Cheat, GTX1080 support three-way or four-way SLI, the flagship graphics card can only double SLI who believes who stupid ah, but did not see more than three-way temporarily, it is said that the old bridge's bandwidth has been unable to Matching GTX1080's powerful computing power, Nvidia designed a new bridge specifically for higher frequency and transmission bandwidth.
Single 8pin power supply, cliff and Nano seedlings, if GTX1080 also use HBM memory, plus TDP 180W power consumption, PCB half shortened to ITX steel gun graphics minutes.
GTX1080 logo on the outer shell of the decorative high-gloss mirror printing effect, there are many new MOD host popular graphics 90 ° adapter, with tempered glass display card, I think this flag will sooner or later on the backlight.
Alloy turbofan, it is said that GTX1080 regulations can not be posted here manufacturers mark, the difference between this generation of flagship really only the warranty.
It is not known if the Titan was not used. The open end of the tail and the pure fins of the fins, sealed inside, have no cooling exhaust effect.
Belief in the backlight, in fact, the whole green area of ​​the video card is only here, dismantling the graphics card and so have the opportunity to go on it, GTX1080 materials we should all know that, no matter how the shape, the use of materials, there is a belief will recharge, After all, performance is there, a new generation of card emperors.
Gigabyte G1.Sniper M7 is a small board with all functions
Gigabyte G1.Sniper M7 is based on the Intel B150 chipset design, M-ATX form factor. Although the chipset is for mid-range users, the Sniper M7's extended features and game features are well-equipped, not worse than the Z170, and are equipped with The Faith Backlight System lists three characteristics:
One is a good material and expansion capabilities, 5-phase CPU power supply, four DDR4 slots, two x16 graphics slot support CF, also has M.2 32Gb/s, SATA-E 16Gb/s high-speed storage interface, M.2 WiFi interface, and gold-plated enhanced USB interface.
The second is to continue GAMING game board features, both audio and network enhancements, magic audio system and cFos network software.
The third is the belief in the backlight system, which can be customized LED breathing light belt, and Joe Sibo RM3 large side through the perfect combination.
The mainboard I/O interface, in turn, is a PS/2 keyboard + 2 gold-plated USB3.0, 1 DVI (does not support VGA analog signal transfer), 1 HDMI video, 1 upright gold-plated USB3.0, 2 An ordinary USB3.0 + RJ45 network, 5 gold-plated audio jacks and fiber interfaces. A WiFi antenna jack is reserved above the DVI.
Gigabyte is the main selling point of the magic sound system, metal shield, audio circuit cutting (with LED), Nichicon audio capacitors and other mainstream design, as well as gain mode adjustment switch, replaceable power amplifier chip, B150 motherboard is a high specification configuration , but my pair of fungus does not pay attention to audio.
Belief in backlight, there is a row of LED breathing lights next to the memory, supports long-lighting, breathing, music synchronization and other modes.
Kingston Fury DDR4 2400 16G (8Gx2) Memory
Memory is not much green vest, impression of several products is not very close to the price, it is not always a bare bar on the green substrate, so aiming for wild black memory, the ultimate choice of Kingston Fury 16G DDR4 suite, Fury series of sales And compatibility has always been good.
Regarding capacity, I suggest 8GB for regular users, 16GB for gamers, and 8GB for daily use. However, playing games often encounters slag-optimized games that eat out of memory, such as last year's Call of Duty12. On the current memory price is at a low point, about 400 yuan will be able to win 16GB, the lowest is like 350 yuan. Frequency I chose 2400MHz, reserved for some overclocking space for later use.
The specific memory model is HX424C15FBK2/16, which means
HX - HyperX Overclocking Series
4 - DDR4 generation
C15 - CL15 Timing
F - Fury Collection
B - Black color
K2 - Dual Channel
The 16-16GB capacity tag also has serial number, voltage, origin, and other information, because Kingston memory is the key target of the cottage, and it is still necessary to understand this information to help identify.
The black heatsinks are simple in shape, but the design is more sensuous, thanks to the embossed HyperX metal label.
There is also a HyperX Logo at the top. Unfortunately, there is no backlight belief. It seems that Kingston has no habit of lighting.
There is also an unobtrusive feature of DDR4. The PCB finger is not straight, but curved, responding to the basic culture? Okay, the official statement is to better protect the golden finger, but in any case only seen unlocked the entire slot unbuckled.
The height of the vest is only a little higher than that of the PCB, so that the memory will not be blocked to the heat sink, and the thickness of the heat sink may be enough. Before the Fury DDR3 was disassembled, the heat will not bend the heat sink.
Qiao Sibo RM3 (black version) small fresh meat in the chassis sector
Now that computers are more and more individualized, so the requirements for the value of the chassis are getting higher and higher, as if the MOD host is the most eye-catching shell, the Qiao Sibo RM3 uses the popular all-aluminum wire drawing panel and transparent tempering Glass, Yan value burst table, called the small box of fresh meat.
Qiao Sibo RM3 is a M-ATX size chassis, there are three versions of silver, black, red color, I get the black RM3, experience down I think there are three major features:
The first is the powerful extension function, not to mention the 170mm high-end air-cooled and 310mm long graphics card, 2x3.5"/2.5"+3x2.5" total 5 hard disk, basically in addition to 240 water-cooled, the market can think of Hardware can be loaded into it.
The second is that the display effect is first-rate, and the entire side of the glass is super-suitable for computer display. It is not an exaggeration to say that the RM3 is a window display cabinet.
The third is the use of solid materials, 4mm aluminum panels and two pieces of 5mm tempered glass, the use of materials in the same chassis outstanding
Unique U-shaped curved panel on the top, classic features of Qiao Sibo RM series.
The metal parts of the chassis are all made of aluminum-magnesium alloy material. The surface is anodized and drawn. The texture and feel are very good. In terms of materials, the front face reaches a considerable thickness of 4mm, and the other rear and top plates are at least 1.5mm. thickness.
The mirror-plated RM3 nameplate has an excellent texture. When does Joe Sibo come with an all-plated housing?
5mm tempered glass side panels are significantly thicker than 2.0mm top panels. Qiao Sibo new RM3 includes UMX4 chassis, the most worth mentioning is the acrylic side plate upgrade to 5mm tempered glass material, tempered glass compared to acrylic has a very big advantage, not easy to leave scratches, acrylic panels really can not maintain A slight rub is the trace, how do you wipe the glasses are all right, of course, the glass is broken, a factory's "explosive door" incident vividly, so Joe Sibo to enhance the thickness of the conscience 5mm, than other common 3mm tempered glass Naturally more resistant to impact.
Qiao Sibo RM3 internal list, the structure is simple and compact, and the main chassis of the two main differences, first, the front side to cancel the hard disk rack, hard disk can be directly installed on the front panel, shorten the body, and second, increase the power cover at the bottom, to hide excess Wire, power supply cover also provides two SSD hard drive bits and intermediate luminous nameplates.
The front panel can be installed with two 3.5" or 2.5 hard disks. The mounting method is to mount the hard disk through the rubber gasket, the interface direction is inwards, and to provide independent trace through holes to maintain the frontal simplicity.
On the back there are 8 track holes and a 2.5" SSD bit.
First horse titanium 800W, should be the first mass production of 80PLUS titanium grade power supply.
Sama titanium 800W power is definitely more than this computer needs, because there is exactly on hand, rounded appearance and RM3 style is similar, the whole module is also very suitable for simple alignment, so use the machine, the normal situation of this configuration 500 ~ 600 watts power enough. As the name of the power supply indicates, the pre-Titanium 800W is certified by Titanium 80PLUS with the highest level of efficiency in the industry, and 10% to 100% of full-load status exceeds 90% efficiency, with a maximum efficiency of 94%.
Power single 12V maximum output 65A 780 watts, close to the total power supply, to promote the two 250W flagship video card easily, in addition to this 80PLUS titanium certification is not just give themselves, the official website to confirm that you can find the PDF certification report.
A large number of full-module interfaces, up to 8 CPU/graphics cards, 5 IDE/SATA hard drives, how to play are enough, the interface uses foolproof design and text instructions, novices will not take the wrong (violence is not).
Sama titanium 800W module line is a major highlight, not only in quantity, but most of the braided wire used in the MOD custom line, covered with heat shrinkable tube protection, soft texture suitable for routing, only the SATA interface wire The use of ordinary plastic leather, of course, no problem with the quality, but of course we must do a full set of drama to do.
To see the use of materials to disassemble the power supply, dismantling the level is not high, then it will easily affect the warranty, first horse shell mold is more special, the side panel can be opened, so you can see the internal structure of the material without affecting the warranty, titanium 800W active PFC +LLC Resonant+DC/DC structure, the more common solution for high-end power supply, two Japanese 270μF main capacitors, the overall grade of materials meet the power of titanium status.
Herd Winder PH-TC12LS Radiator
Qiao Sibo RM3 chassis compatibility is high, support 170mm ultra-high heat sink, but in terms of backlight effect, it is still a good type of pressure, the fan is showing better backlight area and brightness of the side window, chased after the winder PH-TC12LS Under the pressure radiator, 6 heat pipes, copper bottom and black anode fins, all welding process, the price is only 179 yuan, the price is very prominent in similar products.
Qiao Sibo Eclipse glare green fan.
The motherboard first installs the CPU and memory, and tests the compatibility of the heatsink and Kingston Fury DDR4. The four mounting angles will not conflict.
This green and black platform is also pleasing to the naked eye.
Installation Precautions It is simple to mention that the power installation direction of Qiao Sibo RM3 Chassis is backward type, and it is pushed from the back of the chassis, and then the panel locks power. It is recommended that the power supply be pre-connected to the module line, and slightly lifted when pushing the power supply. Because the RM3 is easily scratched to the power supply casing left traces.
Sama titanium 800W power supply is a long size (greater than 165mm), so you need to first remove the fan at the bottom of the chassis to install, as shown in the picture fan and power just fight.
In the upper left corner, there are CPU power supply trace holes, but after the motherboard is installed, it will block half of the hole position, plus a large 140mm fan at the top of the chassis. The 8pin power supply installed here can be split into two 4pin interfaces for easy access.
There is a SATA port on the chassis I/O line. Don't forget to connect. This is the power supply for the chassis nameplate glow logo.
Power line as flat as possible, Qiao Sibo RM3 although the back line space is not small, but because the backplane side plate is also tempered glass, so to avoid the power line touch toughened glass, otherwise it will make the stress here, increase the chance of breakage of tempered glass , If it is a general chassis do not have to worry about the metal side pressure, I used the first horse titanium 800W power is a braided module line, texture is soft and easy to bend, so it is easy, replaced by snakeskin net wrapped power cord feel It will be a bit urgent.
The host of the running state showed that the Eclipse solar fan's strange circular backlight is very eye-catching, forgetting to say that the bottom white light of the bottom jonsbo nameplate is the default, I have replaced it with green, and the camera is a bit overexposed, and the actual brightness is just right.
The back of the line, for a cable operator, the first horse titanium braided wire to help.

Standby power consumption 32 watts, desktop idle off most background programs and processes
Full load power consumption of 262 watts, AIDA64 CPUs and FurMark GPUs
performance:
This time the main color matching and sales phase, I think this is the current trend of DIY computer and MOD computer assembly, performance is still important, but no longer occupy the absolute core position as a decade ago (inadvertently disclosed age), if not The needs of the game are long overdue, you can say GTX1080 does not match with i5 + B150 + DDR4 2133, but the actual game performance and daily experience and i7 + Z170 + DDR4 3000 difference is very small, such as this GTX1080 evaluation 3Dmark Fire Strike Ultra Run points 4944, media evaluation I see more than a few dozen points, single-player games have less impact.
Heat dissipation:
Qiao Sibo RM3 cooling capacity can not say how good, certainly not delay, after all, large M-ATX cannon, i5 6600K default frequency counter core temperature suppressed below 50 °C, was originally intended to test the frequency of overclocking machine, but Did not expect Gigabyte B150 does not support, is the new B150 motherboard default BIOS has been shielded overclocked? The graphics card full load temperature reached 81 °C, and the chassis does not matter, bare metal is the same temperature, GTX1080 although TDP power loss, but the frequency increased a lot, resulting in graphics card temperature higher than I expected.
noise:
The noise of the GTX1080 turbofan is acceptable, and it is not much larger than an open-type fan when it comes to copying. It is only a bug in the first version of the driver. Occasionally, it suddenly runs at full speed and immediately returns to standby speed. It is said that the new driver will be solved.
Power consumption:
The GTX1080's power consumption is really low, with a low load of 32 watts, a maximum power consumption of only 260 watts, and 200 watts at the beginning of the game.
