Preface:
In 2023, doesn't your radiator have a screen yet?
You must know that with the rapid development of Intel and AMD processors in recent years, the temperature of the processor is also "rising". This naturally also makes the major mechanical and electrical manufacturers see business opportunities. Inventory of the main high-performance water-cooled radiators on the market, can be described as numerous, and there are some very "lively" radiators, such as with a screen, you can very intuitively see the current processor temperature, fan speed, frequency and a series of parameters, so that users can see the computer running at a glance.
However, the vast majority of these radiators with screens are water-cooled radiators, and air-cooled radiators with screens are rare. Fortunately, the radiator shown to you today has a screen, which is the Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 intelligent digital display air-cooled radiator.
The current price in a certain east is 359. As the first users, let's talk about how this air-cooled radiator performs.
Unpacking:
First of all, let's talk about the outer packaging, I have to say that the outer packaging of the Kyushu Fengshen radiator is still very eye-catching in similar products, directly the model + physical rendering, and then with the Kyushu Fengshen logo, simple and atmospheric.
The internal packaging is also very good, and the thick sponge ensures the safety of the radiator during transportation.
Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 digital air-cooled radiator is also very simple to unpack, the fan and panel are directly installed, in addition to an accessory box.
Accessories include fasteners, screwdrivers and greases for each platform.
The supported platforms are Intel LGA2066/2011v3/2011/1700/1200/1151/1150/1155, AMD AM4/AM5.
Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 digital air-cooled radiator is not small, the specific size is 129x138x160mm, which means that it can be adapted to the host chassis with a heat dissipation limit of 160mm and above.
Let's take a detailed breakdown of the heatsink:
Among them, the top cover equipped with the digital display panel has two cables, which are ARGB and USB 2.0 (used to transmit hardware information).
The heat dissipation fin is a two-tower design, and adopts a matrix fin group design, which is highly recognizable and enhances heat dissipation efficiency.
At the same time, it is also equipped with 6 bent pure copper nickel-plated sintered heat pipes, and all of them have been blackened, and the workmanship and appearance are very good.
In addition, the base of the radiator also adopts an electroplating process, showing a fine + slightly convex form, which better fits the processor and increases the thermal conductivity efficiency.
In terms of fans, Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 digital air-cooled radiator is equipped with its own FK120 fan, which uses FDB bearings, performance and life are very good, and with shock-absorbing rubber pads to further reduce noise.
The fan speed is 500~1850 RPM±10%, the air volume is 68.99 CFM, the wind pressure is 2.19mmH2O, the wind noise < 27.6dB(A), and the service life is up to 50000 hours.
Machine:
The fastener design of the Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 digital air-cooled radiator is good, and the installation is relatively easy.
In terms of silicone grease, I use Kyushu Fengshen own EX750, which is also one of the best domestic silicone greases I have used, the current price of the silicone grease is about 2 1.5g sets of more than 30 yuan, each can be used 3~4 times.
In terms of specific parameters, the thermal conductivity of the silicone paste is 6.2w/m.k, and the thermal resistance is 0.03 °C·cm²/W, don't look at the parameters are general, but the actual heat dissipation effect is absolutely satisfactory. However, because the consistency is still relatively high, it is recommended to use the included small scraper to scrape flat, which is generally not difficult to apply, and it is much easier to apply than the "dry mud" form of Shin-Etsu 7921.
After tightening the two screws, the installation of the heat dissipation fins can be completed.
The installation of the heatsink can be completed by inserting the fan and changing it.
Here we should also talk about memory compatibility. Before installing, I thought I could only use the strip.
But later measured and found that the Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 digital air-cooled radiator can move the fan up and level with the cover, so the memory space is increased to 43mm, so I can still complete the installation with Asgart Boraki vest memory.
The installation completion rendering is as follows:
Rendering after lighting:
After entering the system, the temperature or occupancy rate of the CPU will be displayed in real time.
There are also ARGB strips on both sides of the edge of the top cover, which can be synchronized with the motherboard to achieve divine light.
However, it should be noted that if you want to display data on the screen, on the one hand, you must connect the TUSB 2.0 data line; On the other hand, it is necessary to follow the good deepcool-digital software (which can be downloaded on the official website of Kyushu Fengshen website).
Performance Test:
Single bake FPU by AIDA64 at room temperature 26 °C.
The measured i7 13700K has a temperature of 94°C in 10 minutes under the condition of P-core 5.3GHz, E-core 4.2GHz, core voltage 1.242V and power 228W.
In a series of game experiences, the temperature of the CPU is generally kept at about 60~65 °C, indicating that the daily use of Kyushu Fengshen Ice Cube 620 digital air-cooled radiator can suppress i7-13700K, if you want to overclock, personal recommendation is still water-cooled radiator.
Installed configuration:
i7 13700K + Z790 combination is believed to be the favorite of many game parties, my DIY host uses i7 13700K processor + MSI MPG Z790 EDGE WIFI motherboard, and to say that the motherboard not only looks in place, but also has very good overclocking performance, whether it is CPU or DDR5 memory can be overclocked to increase performance for free.
The graphics card is equipped with the Inchi RTX 4070 Ti HOF OC, which in addition to the super high value, the performance is also very good, especially in some 3A masterpieces can open DLSS 3.0, to achieve a multiplication of the game frame rate.
For this reason, my monitor is also a 4K monitor, the MSI MPG321UR-QD, which not only has 4K resolution, but also has a screen refresh rate of 144Hz, and uses quantum dot display technology, which is very good for retouching, clipping, and gaming.
In addition, in order to adapt to this graphics card, the power supply I chose is also the latest ATX3.0 standard - MSI MPG A1000G PCIE5, the biggest feature of the power supply is equipped with the latest 12VHPWR interface, a single line can provide up to 600W of power, even in the face of RTX4090 such a graphics card is easy and stress-free.
Summary:
Adding an air-cooled radiator to the screen, although this method is not the first to come up with Kyushu Fengshen, but Kyushu Fengshen has done a good job of cost performance. Compared with the previous Ice Cube 620 ordinary version, the digital display version is dozens of dollars more expensive, but the recognition and playability have been greatly improved. In terms of compatibility, the height of 160mm can be adapted to most ATX mid-tower chassis, and the memory compatibility of 43mm allows many DDR5 memory with vests to be easily installed. As for the heat dissipation performance, I personally feel that it is very suitable for matching its non-K radiator. Just about to arrive 618, if you want to install an air-cooled platform, you can consider it.
