I5 12600KF and I5 13600KF Everyone knows that these two U are cost-effective processors.
But what motherboard can drive them? The Internet says that the low-end ones can't be moved, so is it really necessary for you to buy Eagle Mortars and Heavy Gunners?
Today, Snail tells you with a small test that the power supply of the motherboard is just like that, so don't be so anxious.
This is a very beggar Gigabyte H610 motherboard, if the snail says that this board can definitely carry 160w 13600kf, will someone call me crazy.
That's not much nonsense, just open the test, the snail unlocked the power consumption wall, use this board to light up 13600KF normally, and see what performance it has
The baking machine is directly reduced from 160W to 60W in 1 minute, you can look at the temperature curve to know that this board is not to mention 13600kf, it may be dangerous at 13400f.
In just 2 minutes, the frequency is reduced 3 times, which is no longer necessary to test.
Seeing this, are there some friends who want to say, this power supply garbage, 6-phase core power supply still want to bring a full 13600kf?
Don't worry, it's still this motherboard, and Snail spent 32.5 yuan to buy this set of equipment
This is called MOS Cooling Vest, which is exclusive to GIGABYTE H610.
After the installation, it is like this, the power supply is still the same power supply, but the vest is replaced. Is it possible to carry a full 13,600kf in this way?
Let's zoom in on this curve
Bake for 13 minutes, the whole process is 160w, there is no frequency drop, the processor temperature is high because the heat sink chosen by the snail is Yajun E3, and it has nothing to do with the motherboard. The 13600KF is 5GHz for all large cores and 3.9GHz for small cores. There may be some people who think that this motherboard is a snail brush model, that's okay, the snail was also shocked and recorded a video as proof.
The motherboard hasn't changed, it's still the same board, U hasn't changed, it's still 13600KF, the only difference is whether there is a heat dissipation vest or not. Just because of this small aluminum vest, it may not cost even 5 yuan, which can bring a huge boost to the motherboard and even greatly extend the life of the motherboard.
Snail and let's talk a little bit about why
For the motherboard, the power supply is the most important part, and the power supply is divided into capacitor + inductance + MOS + main control + heat dissipation. The number of phases of power supply that we are familiar with is actually how many groups of MOS. That's right, the more power supply phases, the larger the distributed current, and the more advanced the U that can be driven.
But this is only theoretical, theoretically a 6-phase power supply, each phase power supply 50A motherboard can theoretically carry about 300w processor, but this theory is based on absolute zero, temperature is the biggest factor restricting the performance of the motherboard. In reality, 6-phase power supply, even liquid nitrogen, may not be able to exert 300W power supply capacity.
Take the Gigabyte board above, not to mention the theoretical power supply capacity of 13600kf, even 14700kf can drive, but in reality, you can't soak the 6-phase power supply in liquid nitrogen, since you can't, you must consider how to dissipate heat, because generally speaking, as long as the MOS temperature reaches about 110, the frequency will be reduced, which is the so-called belt immovable, but as long as the heat dissipation is enough, the temperature can be suppressed within 110 degrees, which is the ability to drive.
For the GIGABYTE H610M H, it doesn't think about heat dissipation at all, and GIGABYTE doesn't plan to let such a low-end board bring more than 13400F processors, so without passive cooling, it is impossible to bring full 13600kf or 12600kf. However, the snail is custom-made, and after adding a heat dissipation aluminum block, the MOS temperature can also be controlled below 110 degrees with 13600kf, which is why the snail test can be full of 13600kf.
Take Gigabyte, for example
From H610 to 800 pieces of Magic Eagle PLUS, in fact, the core power supply is exactly the same, all of them are 6 phases, and even the capacitor inductor MOS model is no different. The reason why the power supply is strong or weak is only because of passive heat dissipation. The H610 without the MOS vest can only bring 12400F, the D2H or D3H with the MOS vest on the left can only bring 12600kf, and the Magic Eagle D5 with the upper left side can carry 13600kf. In addition to Gigabyte, both ASUS and MSI play like this, and the same goes for the ASUS H610M K and ASUS B760M AYW. This is actually the distinction that manufacturers spend the lowest cost and deliberately manufacture.
In addition, there is one of the most critical points, whether this magic change H610 or Gigabyte Magic Eagle, the upper limit is basically 13600kf, but the premise is that it must be air-cooled, and the heat on the heat sink must be blown away by the wind before it can be full. If you change to water cooling, it is absolutely impossible to carry a full 13600kf.
Let's talk about the heat sink that the snail bought, it is all aluminum, and the heat dissipation is definitely better than that of cast iron of the same volume. Of course, the appearance must be much lower. In addition, this is actually not recommended for everyone to buy, the workmanship is too rough, the vest above is double-sided adhesive because there is no hole, the reliability is average, and the other is too expensive. The snail was originally bought to test whether it could be loaded with 12,600kf, but it turned out to be loaded and unexpectedly run to 13,600kf, which is really a miracle.
