The 12th generation Core has been on the market for a while, and the launch of the DDR4 motherboard has raised the installed capacity of the 12th generation Core to another level. If you are a gamer, they must first have an i7 or i9 processor, but as a home user, the i5-level CPU is more than wrong. What the family wants is the cost performance, come in and do the most things with the least money. So what kind of heatsink is suitable for the i5 processor? 240mm or 360mm water cooling is obviously a little bit of luxury, in fact, the level of air cooling is enough to use, today to share is a very cost-effective air cooling products--- overclocking Three East Sea R4000 radiator, I hope you will like!
【Packaging and Details】
▼ The packaging of the overclocking Sandonghai R4000 radiator still continues the family style, and the panorama of this radiator can be seen on the front, as a product that focuses on cost performance, the use of ARGB fans is still very good. The all-black appearance is good, and the edge is the model of this radiator. Some data of the side standard fan, 800 ~ 1800 rpm, air volume of 38.4 ~ 73.6CFM, noise of about 18 ~ 28.6dBA, in line with the mainstream level.
▼The design of the all-black exterior is really textured. A 120mm ARGB fan provides sufficient cooling airflow. The spacing of the fins is very even, plus four heat pipes, which has a good heat dissipation effect. But let's be honest, if you use an i5 processor I recommend you choose it, if you use an i7 or 5700x level processor or honestly choose a higher level.
▼ The top of the radiator can clearly see the LOGO of the overclocking three. I have to say that this blackened color scheme is really good, I like it!
▼ The radiator uses aluminum alloy fasteners, a more mature design, and many similar products are using such a scheme. The heat pipe direct contact design, mirror polishing, and large area of the base can better contact the surface of the CPU, which is also very good support for the 12th generation of Core.
▼ The cooling fan is black border and white fan blade, with ARGB lighting effect. The back of the fan is affixed with the nameplate of this fan, which can be seen with its rated output DC12V 0.38A, the standard for mainstream fans.
▼ It's so cool when assembled. The bulk of the radiator is 130(L)x 75(W)X157(H)mm, and the common mid-tower chassis is completely problem-free.
▼ Overclocking Sandonghai R4000 heatsink and support for the latest 12th generation Core processor, which is very friendly.
【Other hardware】
▼ This time the use of MSI B660M mortar motherboard, silver heat dissipation module hidden under the power supply part of this motherboard, 12 + 1 + 1 phase power supply is very conspicuous. The design of the CPU-powered dual 8Pin can also ensure that the processor can be stably powered. It is reported that the MSI B660M mortar motherboard DrMOS model is ISL99360, its maximum current is 60A, the power supply master is RAA229132, the PWM controller is MPSM2940A, as a mid-range motherboard, equipped with such components, I believe that knowledgeable partners do not need me to introduce it too much! One word, with heart, haha.
▼ Intel Core i5-12400, a standard desktop-class processor, the processor does not use large and small core design, has 6 pure large cores, a total of 12 threads. It can be said that it should be the most cost-effective home god U this year.
▼ The motherboard has two M.2 interfaces, both covering the thermal armor, which is worthy of praise. PCIe interface, a PCIe 4.0 × 16 slots, a PCIe 3.0 × 16 slots, the above one has also been metal reinforcement, I have to say that the current motherboard manufacturers are more and more careful.
▼ MSI MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI motherboard I/O area, 4 USB 2.0 interfaces, DP 1.4 interfaces, HDMI 2.1 interfaces, look down. The 3 red interfaces are USB3.2Gen2 10Gbps, type-C is USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 20Gbps, and the Realtek 8125BG network interface supports 2.5Gbps networks. Others such as WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 7.1 channel output are supported.
▼ Even with 12400 I also replaced it with Kyushu Fengshen PQ1000M gold power supply (in fact, I have no other power supply to use, woohoo) This Kyushu Fengshen rated 1000W gold medal full module power supply, with 80PLUS gold certification, has 92.9% conversion efficiency, but also higher than the conversion efficiency of white gold medal, in a large number of energy consumption while improving efficiency.
▼ The power supply adopts the all-Japan system high temperature resistance 105 °C electrolytic capacitor and solid capacitor, stable and reliable, the fan adopts FDB low noise fan, the operation noise is lower, the life is longer. The LLC+DC-DC platinum architecture is adopted to effectively suppress ripples, make the voltage more stable, and improve the comprehensive content of the hardware. It has over-power protection, over-voltage protection, over-temperature protection, over-current protection, low-voltage protection, and short-circuit protection. Both the material and the workmanship are worth recommending.
▼ White power train titanium 3080 chassis, the value is still very good, as a tower chassis, this product does have its own unique features, such as both side panels are left with ventilation hole design, the front panel built-in RGB light group, support vertical graphics card, support for the bottom of the chassis to install fans and so on. As a low-priced chassis, the titanium 3080 of the power train shows enough sincerity.
▼The appearance after the installation is not bad! Black motherboard with black heat dissipation, haha, first-class texture.
【Sotec RTX 3060Ti-8GD6 Player Power Extreme PGF OC8】
▼ Sottech RTX 3060Ti-8GD6 Player Power Extreme PGF OC8, one of the products of Sotech stacked material, the front graphics card uses 3 diameter 9cm fans that support intelligent start-stop technology, plus excellent heat dissipation system, even in the state of satisfaction, the graphics card can still maintain a better temperature.
▼ This is a full-blood graphics card, absolutely not wrong. The core Boost frequency has also been increased from the public version of 1665MHz to 1725MHz, and the graphics card adopts a dual 8Pin auxiliary power supply design, with a maximum power consumption of 240W. The graphics card is actually a largely emasculated version of the GA-104 architecture, removing 1 full GPC and 2 sets of SM cluster cells (10 SM cluster units in total) in 1 additional GPC. Even so, the graphics card is still excellent. This is also the first time that NVIDIA has put the 104 core below to the 3060 series, which is a model iteration and the kernel has been upgraded.
【Light up and walk up】
▼ Boot, light up, do not know such a whole machine effect you like, graphics card vertical installation is really praise, haha! I like it very much.
▼ Let's take a few pictures in the low light, so as to show the charm of RGB lights, hee-hee!
▼ It's a good choice to wear an esports monitor, and I'm on the MSI Luna MPG ARTYMIS 323CQR esports monitor, which is a 16:9 scale curved display with a screen curvature of 1000R. The screen size is 32 inches, the resolution is 2K level 2540×1440, and the more eye-catching parameter is the refresh rate up to 165Hz, which is a very fragrant monitor for gamers.
【Radiator test】
▼ First look at the overall running score, 12400 running score 560,000, graphics card 480,000, Kingston memory 320,000, hard disk running score is also 130,000, the overall 1.52 million. Although the master is called entertainment software, such a running score is enough to explain the problem.
▼ First look at the actual heat dissipation effect of the overclocking three East Sea R4000, thanks to the excellent heat dissipation strength, as well as the low power performance of 12400, the temperature of the grill for 10 minutes is only 54 ° C, so it can be seen that if you press 12700K, there is no problem. Of course, if you use an i5-level CPU, this overclocked three Tokai R4000 is enough.
▼ The most popular game during this time should be the God of War 4 PC version, I am also a God of War fan, but the PS4 era is not in the purchase of the host, one is no time, the other is too many places to use money, so everything is gone. Now out of the PC just in time for the New Year, so let's play. Check out the final performance of the Sotec RTX 3060Ti-8GD6 Player Power Extreme PGF OC8! This test uses the game plus plus software, all for reference only, if you are interested you can go to see some professional test results.
▼ In the standard resolution mode, the Sotec RTX 3060Ti-8GD6 Player Power Extreme PGF OC8 has an average frame rate of 118 frames, a maximum of 130 frames, and a minimum of 100 frames. The CPU temperature is 54°C and the graphics card temperature is 66°C.
▼ In ultra-high image quality (low, standard, high, ultra-high), the average frame rate is 74 frames, the maximum is 87 frames, and the minimum is 65 frames. The CPU temperature is 48°C and the graphics card temperature is 67°C. Simply put, if you want to swim god of war 4 super high quality 3060Ti can also be a battle, of course, if you have RTX3080, the effect will be better.
【Summary at the end of the article】
I have to say that as a cost-effective new product of the overclocking three, the East Sea R4000 radiator is worthy of recognition in terms of design and performance. The design of the heat dissipation tower is all black, the visual impact is very strong, and the silent fan is not only excellent in lighting, but also reliable in heat dissipation.
Speaking of performance, the 12th generation of Core i7 and i9 is really a furnace, but the i5-level CPUI is much better. And it is impossible to run at full capacity in daily use, so even if it is pressed 12700k, it is no problem. The fly in the ointment is that it would be perfect if there were two fans, I like the symmetrical beauty, haha!
Finally, thank you for reading, I hope it can help you!
