The key word of this month's machine is the 12th generation Core, as a new ultra-high-performance processor product, but also through its own excellent performance to drive the upgrade boom of major hardware, the new processor brought a big innovation is to support DDR5 memory and PCI-E 5.0 interface, which allows us to have greater bandwidth to expand other devices. Of course, Intel also very conscientiously retains the support for DDR4 memory, and we players can choose to match it according to their own needs. This time we recommend this installation configuration to choose the current price is relatively cheap DDR4 memory, the comprehensive cost performance is higher.
Intel Core i5 12600KF
Save the machine configuration sheet
Look at the configuration list, which is currently more sought-after hardware is the CPU 12th generation Intel Core i5-12600KF processor and 3070 graphics card, if these two can be grabbed at a relatively low price, then the entire machine is not a particularly big problem.
This configuration is generally matched with some hardware products in the positioning of high-end, we still pay more attention to the cost performance, we naturally have to take into account in the hardware selection, although the 12th generation Core processor can be arbitrarily matched with DDR4 and DDR5 memory, but we are still cautious according to the current price analysis, choose the high-frequency memory set of DDR4, fortunately, the 12th generation Core processor supports DDR4 memory, and there is no big impact on the actual game performance.
Hybrid performance architecture
Explain it separately for the hardware, first of all, it must be the soul of the host - CPU, the 12th generation Intel Core processor is obviously the "popular star" who has saved the machine in recent times, and it is really a bit unreasonable to say that the machine does not mention the new product. This month's recommended set of configuration list i5-12600KF is positioned in the high-end product, with 10 cores and 16 threads, this number may sound a little strange, but this is the 12th generation Core processor microarchitecture shining point, performance hybrid architecture, in a CPU at the same time integrated two different microarchitecture cores, composed of hybrid architecture, of which 6 performance cores, with hyper-threading technology, can output powerful power support for the currently running applications. The four energy efficiency cores are optimized for background applications running at the same time, ensuring that while the game is running, the voice calls, video recording and other functions running in the background are carried out smoothly and avoid interference with the foreground application.
The core of the two different microarchitectures built into 12th Generation Core has performed very well in our current tests, many applications have very amazing performance, and for gamers, the most important point is that the frame rate must be high. In the past processor, we can do at most a part of the core mainly to serve the game, and some of the core in it will be constantly interrupted by background applications, such as the basic process of the system, voice chat software, video recording and transmission software, and even sometimes we will retain the browser query strategy, these background programs continue to interrupt a part of the core operation, is bound to have a certain impact on the game currently in progress. The new 12th generation Core processor performance hybrid architecture focuses on solving this problem, we found in the game test, not only the frame rate is higher, but also very smooth in the smoothness of application switching, even if you play large games, you don't have to worry about stuttering.
MSI PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4
With i5-12600KF support, the motherboard is currently definitely going to choose the Z690 series, here we chose the PRO Z690-A WIFI DDR4 motherboard from MSI, the price is relatively cheap, the configuration is not low, all kinds of interfaces are readily available, want to expand multiple M.2 interfaces are also completely stress-free, the motherboard has 4 M.2 interfaces for users to choose, casual expansion, do not have to worry at all.
ASUS TUF-RTX3070-O8G-V2-GAMING graphics card
Graphics card is still a bit sought-after, although the price has been a little loose, but it is far from reaching the level of returning to the starting price, which has also led to our total budget is much higher, the asus TUF-RTX3070-O8G-V2-GAMING graphics card recommended in the configuration list is now priced at 6299 yuan, which is still cheap in the current daily price, but in fact, if you save the machine, I suggest that it is best to wait for the rush to buy activities, it is best to take it within 3899 yuan, so that you can save a lot of money.
Kingston FURY Beast Beast DDR4 memory
Come to the topic of memory again, the choice of DDR4 is still quite a lot, this month's recommended configuration list recommends that you choose DDR4 motherboard with DDR4 memory, more cost-effective, 3200MHz 8G * 2 Kingston set price is only 469 yuan, compared to DDR5 price saved 5 times, the maximum game performance is less than 5%, you can rest assured that you can use.
Several other accessories are currently very stable in price, 1TB SSD, 750W power supply, a large space chassis, can fully meet the needs of the installed machine. CPU heatsink needs to pay attention to it, the interface of the 12th generation Core i5-12600KF has been upgraded to LGA 1700, the size is slightly different from the previous product, it is recommended that you choose a radiator product that is clearly marked to support the LGA1700 interface, so as not to have problems when installing the machine.
After all, the heat generation of i5-12600KF is not very large, the side blowing tower air-cooled radiator of the four heat pipes can meet the demand, if you have overclocking needs, then I recommend or choose more than 240 cold drain water-cooled radiators, if it is only used in the game, then you can save some money to choose air cooling.
i5-12600KF as the brother model of 12600K, there is no other difference except to subtract the core display, because we want to assemble the game console, with discrete graphics card, choose the i5-12600KF is more cost-effective. In terms of performance, i5-12600KF can be said to be a very good game processor, using him to install the game console, super performance, the price is also very close to the people, called a high-quality choice.
