I. Introduction
Mushroom An old brother who is a doctoral student in medical school finds mushrooms and wants mushrooms to help install the main machine. In terms of configuration, you don't need mushrooms to worry about, just help do some physical work when the accessories are in place.
But this old brother's configuration choice is still very interesting, the processor chose 10900X, the motherboard must be X299, and the X299 EXTREME 4 of ASRock was chosen. The performance requirements of the professional aspects are not too understanding, but the X299 platform has greater advantages in terms of the number of channels, the number of memory channels, and the capacity, and the software he uses may have a relatively high demand for memory capacity and performance.
In addition, X299's motherboard mushroom has indeed not been played before, just the motherboard and processor first arrived, see how the effect is.
Second, ASRock X299 Extreme4 motherboard out of the box
