I. Introduction
In recent years, with the rapid improvement of hardware performance, its corresponding power consumption has become higher and higher, especially with the advent of summer, heat dissipation has become a major problem for players.
Fortunately, mechanical and electrical manufacturers are not idle, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, the major manufacturers have launched a variety of new products, including many products with good heat dissipation and good appearance. Today I want to share a host with very good heat dissipation, and it also has a high value and rich lighting gameplay.
Let's take a look at the finished desktop show first.
Second, the choice of accessories
The configuration list is as follows:
Family portrait at a glance.
The CPU has chosen the 12th generation of popular products - I7 12700KF.
Considering the difference between boxed and scattered pieces, players who pursue cost-effective products can choose loose pieces.
The CPU is rectangular in shape, it is said that because the pressure of the original clips on the motherboard is concentrated on the ears on both sides of the CPU, it is easy to bend the CPU, so there have been many third-party buckles recently, which can reduce stress and protect the CPU. Of course, this thing the third brother has not used, afraid of bending can try.
The memory uses Ying chi DDR4 3600 16GB x2, choose it mainly to see its diamond-style RGB lighting effects, of course, the memory to open X.M.P after the frequency of up to 3600MHz is also another major factor I considered it.

4. Testing and experience
First take a screenshot to verify the CPU, motherboard, and memory body.
CPU-Z, AIDA64, CINEBENCH R23 triple test.
Then look at the graphics performance, this test uses a Win11 64-bit system, the graphics driver version is 512.15, and the Resizable BAR function is turned on.
Summary of test results.
This configuration can play most games at high special effects at 1080P and 1440P resolutions; as for 2160P resolutions, only individual games are below 60 frames, and you can reduce the effects as appropriate to increase the frame rate.
CPU roaster test (room temperature 19.9 °C), after the single hook FPU grill is stable, the temperature of the CPU P core is about 70 °C, the temperature of the E core is about 65 °C, thanks to the optimization of the Kyushu Wind God Ice Fortress 360 and the addition of the chassis air duct, the cpu grill temperature can be 6 or 7 °C lower than the conventional heat dissipation environment.
Then try the temperature sensor of the chassis, first put the sensor in the desired position, for example, I put the sensor (No. 2) on the right side of the motherboard power supply heatsink.
Next, open the ICANE software, click the "+" sign, and add the device.
Tick "Temperature #2".
Then the temperature detected by sensor 2 can be displayed.
Using an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of the right power supply heat sink, it can be seen that the temperature detected by the chassis sensor is very close, indicating that its accuracy is still relatively high.
Graphics card roaster temperature test (1280x720 resolution, room temperature as above), after the Furmark grill curve stabilized, the GPU core temperature reached a maximum of 73 °C, which is 4 °C lower than the previous oven temperature of other chassis.
Power consumption test, the power consumption of this configuration is still relatively high, the maximum power consumption of double baking reached 647.23W.
5. Summary
With the advent of summer, the heat dissipation pressure of the high-end host is also getting larger and larger, at this time to choose a set of heat dissipation power chassis and radiator is particularly important, the installation of the American Corsair iCUE 5000T RGB chassis and Kyushu Fengshen Ice Fortress 360 radiator can effectively reduce the CPU temperature by 6-7 °C, the graphics card temperature is reduced by 4 °C, the effect is still very significant; at the same time, iCUE 5000T RGB has a white appearance and cool RGB lighting system, high value, The playability is very strong, of course, the only drawback is that its price is higher, which may dissuade some players.
The above is shared here, I hope to help everyone with the machine, thank you for appreciating!
