"I want to install a computer!"

"No matter!"

"I want to install a computer!!"

"I don't sell computers!"

"I want to install a computer!!!"

"Well, well, you won..."

"I want to cut slices! And 4K chicken! Please control the host within 8000!"

"Go away..."

In this way, I was dragged onto the boat by my partner in the video group. The little friend who is too old to play modern games in his home computer, plays chicken secretly in the office every day, which is very pitiful. So I felt pity, To my surprise, I want to install him on the computer... but when I meet Virgo, it is really... I will lose my power to confirm the configuration.

As a daily job that focuses on video cutting and post production, this kid's requirements for computers can be said to be very abnormal, and the kid who knows about video clips should be able to understand. To make matters worse, the 618 Shopping Festival, which is a little far away, was encouraged by other colleagues to buy a 43 inch 4K monitor! It can be said that it is spectacular. When a "wall" like display appeared in the company, the author thought who carried a TV to use it

Installation plan 1

So the painful process of machine selection began. The initial demand is to play games at home, giving consideration to cutting and later stage, but the budget is only 8k!! Therefore, based on the idea that contemporary games have special abnormal requirements for video cards, but do not have too much pressure on CPU, we mainly focus on video cards. Reasonably, if you really want to play games on a 4K screen, it's hard to say that there is no more than GTX1080 graphics card. In order to let the graphics card play its due ability, the processor and motherboard should not be too weak as a bottleneck. After weighing the limited budget and 4K resolution output, the GTX1070Ti became the first choice. The price was less than 3500, but the performance was just slightly inferior to the GTX1080. Although it was no good at 4K, it was still stable at 2K, with a high cost performance ratio. Most importantly, just now RTX2080, it seems a bit silly to start a piece of GTX1080/1080Ti. So the original configuration list was born!

We chose GTX1070Ti Premium Plus from Sotai as the graphics card, with the core frequency of 1607-1683MHz and the video memory frequency of 8008MHz, The 8192/256bit 8GB GDDR5 video memory has an overall power consumption of 180W. It is equipped with five heat pipes and three fans as a standard for heat dissipation. It also comes with a small backplane fan to help the graphics card circuit heat dissipation (core backplane fan can also be selected). All aspects are impeccable. The materials and quality of Sotai in recent years are also obvious to all. If you have to pick a problem, the RGB light is too ugly, It's no exaggeration. It's really a horse racing lantern

In order to ensure the performance of the graphics card to the maximum extent within the limited budget, the processor had to downgrade to the i5-8400 processor. Although it is a downgrade, it has already been considered as the upstream processor in the CPU ladder. As for memory, considering both cutting and games, 32G is also not suitable. I thought I would install the machine once and for all, but my Virgo colleague suddenly suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder: I want 8 cores and 16 frames! The company uses the i7-5820K, and the sky ladder is slightly stronger than the i5-8400. How can you use a lower grade processor at home?! So I can only overthrow and start again

However, in the limited budget, in order to ensure that there are 16 frames, Intel is afraid that... although it performs better in the game, the i7-8700k, which costs up to 2899 yuan, is still a 6-core design, and can only give up in the end. Then we can only choose AMD, a well-known manufacturer of bulldozers, pile drivers and road rollers! Although the era of various pile drivers was abused by Intel, AMD finally returned to the central stage with Ryzen series products after entering the OEM era and finally using modern process.

The eight core entry model of Ryzen II is the Ryzen 7 2700, which is also the first choice for this installation. The processor is designed with 8 cores and 16 threads, adopts 12nm FinFET technology, has a base frequency of 3.2GHz, a Rapoo 4.1 GHz, a 4MB L2 cache, a 16MB L3 cache, and a default TDP65W. It is the second flagship product of the second generation of Ruilong series. For cutting, especially for output, more attention is paid to the multithreading capability of the processor. Generally speaking, the more cores, the faster the output speed. Ryzen 7 2700's eight core sixteen threads just meet this requirement. Can you guess the price of Intel's eight core processor?

With this combination, the motherboard must also be replaced from the Intel platform to the AMD platform. It happened that there was a MSI X470 motherboard and Ryzen 7 2700 package in a certain east, so we started decisively. From Z370 to X470, with a budget increase of only 350 yuan, the processor and motherboard have been upgraded significantly, especially the latter, and there are still two skills in the resurgence of agricultural enterprises.

Installation scheme 3

However, at the moment when we were about to place an order, our Virgo colleagues were shocked when they learned about our game oriented allocation idea and said, "Do you think I really want to play games? I want to work, I want to cut pieces!" At this time, we only left a black line and silently thought about how to reduce the budget... for example, reducing the allocation to GTX1060? Save a thousand dollars!

The demand for clip cutting and video in the later stage is not very high. A series of Adobe software, including PR, still mainly rely on processor performance, and its "mercury acceleration" demand for graphics cards is not very high. In particular, the performance of this generation of Nvidia graphics cards has been greatly improved compared with GTX9 series graphics cards, The graphics cards above GTX1050 have little difference in rendering speed. Therefore, it is not necessary to equip a very expensive video card for this kind of work. But fortunately, the "capricious" little partner said again: "occasionally" still want to play games

However, in the end, the author slightly adjusted the configuration list, and the budget was not reduced, but also increased! Mainly strengthen the heat dissipation configuration. Although the TDP of Ryzen 7 2700 is only 65W, it is an 8-core 16 thread processor after all. When PR is used for output, the heat generated by working hard should not be underestimated, and the heat dissipation should be in place.

The Jiaolong 240 integrated water cooling from TT is the substitute for Dashuang Tower. Two 12 inch cooling fans+large-area cooling grilles can quickly take away the heat of the processor. The cold exhaust installed on the side wall can also reduce the interference of hot air on the air duct of the chassis. Maybe one day, you can also use small to super fast. The Ryzen2700 still has some potential. Although the integrated water cooling has greatly reduced the difficulty of installation, the complexity is obviously higher than that of air-cooled radiators, especially RGB（ horse race lamp ）The power supply line requires the user to have a certain hands-on ability. For users who do not like water cooling, they can also consider air cooling at the same price. This price can almost buy the abnormal strong air cooling of owl NH-D15 and Limin Silver Arrow.

In terms of chassis, the replacement of the Josep UMX4 to the Windrunner P350X is not only for budget reduction, but also for heat dissipation. Indeed, in terms of appearance, the Joshberg UMX4 is obviously better than the others. The brushed aluminum magnesium alloy shell+full penetration side panel, the RGB lights up beautifully, but the compact compact design also leads to its poor air intake capacity. For such a high-intensity working computer, the gains are not worth the losses, so we have to give up.

In terms of power supply, we chose Haiyun's 650W gold medal power supply. Many people may not be very familiar with this brand, but its pirate ship and Antique can be said to be very familiar. This old Taiwanese manufacturer is also slowly moving from behind the scenes to in front of the stage. Haiyun, with many years of experience in power supply OEM, is good at product research and development, and has advantages in ripple and voltage stabilization. However, some products have experienced the problem of "whistling" of switching circuit, so Haiyun is jokingly called "tsunami" by netizens. Some children's boots may think that the power supply is a little expensive, but in fact, this is the part that cannot save money. A stable power supply is the most fundamental foundation for any electrical appliance. Moreover, a 10-year warranty brand like Haiyun can almost be used for ever.

As for SSDs, the Samsung 970EVO is not the best choice for performance. However, considering the price, after-sales, stability and performance, the next best choice is the 250G Samsung 970 EVO, which is stable but will not roll over at least. If you don't shoot 4K, 250G is barely enough（ not ）

Well, this is the end of our chicken eating/cutting installation journey, and the reasons for choosing various accessories are also briefly introduced. If you have the same installation needs, you can refer to them, or if you have any ideas, you can discuss with brother Ji in the message area.
