I. Preface
Some time ago, Mushroom had a friend who wanted to install a host, with a budget of about 6000 yuan, which is very conventional, but there is a very unconventional requirement, that is, the host can not have lighting effects, not at all. This is very interesting, and it is very rare at the moment when sea view houses are popular.
However, if you want a host of a sea view room, it will look good if you simply match the hardware. And it's still a bit difficult to want the kind that has no light, and there is no light at all. Nowadays, a lot of hardware has lighting effects, and you need to deliberately select some matte hardware.
In terms of chassis, if there is no light, you can choose some silent cases, or some Mesh cases. Mushroom personally feels that the heat dissipation of the Mesh case will be better, compared to the silent case.
Second, a "non-mainstream" installation in the era of sea view room configuration of the whole machine
▼ Let's take a family photo first, it looks good.
1. Processor
▼The processor is 12600KF, this processor has been very popular recently, the price has dropped to about 1,000 yuan, the performance is very good, and it also supports overclocking.
▼ The familiar metal top cover of the LGA1700 processor was changed when the next generation heard about it.
2. Motherboard
▼The motherboard uses GIGABYTE's B760M PRO AX, and the overall performance of this motherboard is very good.
▼The motherboard is black as a whole, the front is covered with a lot of metal heat sinks, the power supply materials are very good, the power supply heat dissipation is also very good, the left and upper sides are covered with metal heat sinks, and there is a vapor heat pipe between the two heat sinks.
▼In terms of expandability, the bottom of the motherboard is equipped with two M2 slots as standard, and the bottom M2 slot supports up to 22110 M2 solid-state, which can install a lot of interesting solid-state.
▼In terms of expandability, there are 4 USB 2.0 ports and 5 USB 3.2 ports on the rear of the motherboard, of which 3 are Type-A ports with 5Gbps bandwidth, 1 is Type-A ports with 10Gbps bandwidth, and 1 is Type-C ports with 20Gbps bandwidth.
▼ Now that the motherboard has been removed, here is the easy way to install the processor on the motherboard.
3. Memory
▼In terms of memory, it uses Guangwei's Longwu series DDR5 memory, 16GB*2 6400MHz.
▼ The metal vest design of this set of memory is very beautiful, the overall color scheme is gray, embellished with a large number of dotted decorations, and the overall structure adopts a three-section structure, with gray on both sides and black in the middle, and printed with Guangwei's LOGO.
▼The memory is directly installed on the motherboard, and the overall matching effect is good.
4. Solid
▼The SSD uses Langke's Jueying series SSD, with a capacity of 2TB, which can basically meet the needs of daily life.
▼ This 2TB capacity solid hard disk, there are four storage particles, the model is NV7000-t, this -t is very magical, this model is rare.
▼The original is equipped with a heat sink as standard, the bottom is a thermal pad, there is a metal copper sheet in the middle, and there is a layer of auxiliary heat dissipation material on the surface. The one above, save it for a friend to upgrade to a solid state.
5. Heat dissipation
▼The heat of the 12600KF processor is not large, and the single tower air cooling of 4 heat pipes can be easily suppressed, and the K4 BK with overclocking three is used here.
▼The appearance of this single-tower air-cooled radiator is quite good, and there is a decorative cover plate on the top, which covers the heat pipe interface at the top of the cooling tower.
▼The standard cooling fan of the radiator is 130mm size, and the fan blades are designed with 9 pieces.
▼The heatsink can be easily installed on the motherboard, and the compatibility performance of the single-tower air-cooled heatsink is quite good, and it will not affect the memory installation at all.
6. Graphics card
▼ Graphics card here, I originally wanted to use a colorful RTX4060 Tomahawk dual fan, but I feel that the squeezed aluminum radiator is not very good, so I still choose a Tomahawk luxury, although the RTX4060 core is not very hot.
▼The front of the graphics card is equipped with three 90mm cooling fans as standard, and the tail of the cooling fan blades is connected together, which has better stability at high rotation and can also better gather air.
▼The back of the graphics card is a whole metal back plate, and there is a hollow design on the right side to facilitate the passage of airflow and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation fins.
▼The graphics card comes standard with a graphics card bracket, but it is fixed by a PCIe bezel.
▼The graphics card bracket is made of metal and has a lighting design.
7. Power supply
▼In the face of the hardware configuration of 12600KF with RTX4060 graphics card, the power supply chooses Xianma's Black Diamond 650W gold full module.
▼电源侧面还有黑钻的LOGO,左上角是80Plus金牌认证的LOGO。
▼There is a detailed label of the power supply on the side of the power supply, this power supply has a rated power of 650W, of which the maximum output of +12V single channel is 648W, which is good.
8. a chassis
▼The chassis is Josbo's U4 Mini Mesh black mATX chassis, although it is an mATX chassis, but its hardware compatibility performance is good, the height of the heatsink supports up to 165mm, the graphics card can support up to 420mm, and the conventional can support up to 330mm.
▼乔思伯U4 Mini Mesh机箱的侧面是一整块金属面板，中间有大面积的Mesh冲孔网。
▼The front of the case is a whole metal panel, and the lower right corner is the IO panel of the case, in addition to the power button, there is also a Type-C interface, a Type-A interface and a 3.5mm audio jack.
▼At the rear of the case, there is a power extension socket in the upper left corner, the bottom is the IO opening of the motherboard, the right side is the rear fan position of the case, and the bottom is 5 PCIe slots.
▼The design of the internal space of the case is very interesting, the power compartment is designed at the front of the case, and it also supports back plugging motherboards.
3. A "non-mainstream" installation in the era of sea view house hardware installation
▼The first step of installation is to stuff the motherboard with various hardware into the chassis.
▼The motherboard is easily fixed to the inside of the case, and the interface cables of each part are easily connected, such as USB, audio, case jumpers, etc.
▼By the way, when I bought a radiator, the boss also gave a matching 130mm fan, which can be easily installed on the back of the radiator.
▼ This fan is also a non-mainstream 130mm specification, I originally wanted to install it in the rear of the case, but later I found that it couldn't be installed, haha. The fan blades are also 9 and there are four rubber shock-absorbing pads at the four corners.
▼The frame part behind the fan also has a reverse angle bending, which is opposite to the bending angle of the fan blades, which can play a role in the design of pressurization and combing wind pressure to a certain extent.
▼The fan is directly fixed to the rear of the cooling tower, forming a tower air-cooled radiator with dual fans, a single tower, and 4 heat pipes, and the heat dissipation efficiency will be improved to a certain extent.
▼Then install the graphics card,Colorful this RTX4060 Tomahawk luxury graphics card looks very bluffing,The heat dissipation module of the three fans looks very powerful,But there seem to be only two heat pipes in it,Haha。
▼The graphics card is installed horizontally by default, and a graphics card bracket is propped up at the tail of the graphics card. This graphics card bracket is fixed with a PCIe slot, and if you want to get enough support at the rear of the graphics card, the tail must go down.
▼ Then install the power supply, Xianma's Black Diamond 650W Gold Full Module, the power supply length is only 140mm, and the installation compatibility performance is good.
▼The power supply interface at the tail of the power supply uses different color interfaces to correspond to different power supply interfaces.
▼The module cables responsible for the power supply of different devices all use the color of the corresponding power supply interface, which can basically avoid plugging incorrectly.
▼The power supply is easily fixed on the front of the case, the fixing bracket of this power supply is detachable, the installation process is very simple, and then plug in the power supply interface of each part by the way.
▼ On the back of the case, the space for the back cable is very sufficient, and the cable is very easy.
▼Cover the side panel of the chassis and complete the installation of the whole machine. Suddenly, I found that after covering the side panels of the case, the whole machine was as if it had not been installed, and there was no difference in appearance from the empty case.
▼ Turn on, light up at one time, the whole machine has no other lighting effects except for the white light lit up by the power button, pure black, and you can vaguely hear the sound of the fan of the radiator turning.
▼Actually, the graphics card bracket part supports ARGB lighting effects, and I also plugged in the lighting power supply cable, and you can turn on the lighting effects in the software, hehe, but that's all.
Fourth, a "non-mainstream" installation test in the era of sea view houses
▼List of the configuration of the whole machine, the processor is 12600KF, the graphics card is RTX4060, and the configuration of the whole machine is more mainstream.

5. Summary
This host,Mushroom personal feeling is still very good,No lighting effect as a whole,Very low-key、Calm,Usually whether it is placed on the table,Or under the table,The sense of presence is very low。 Except for the faint sound of the cooling fan turning, and the white LED light on the power button, it is difficult for you to tell whether this host is turned on or not, but this is also the effect that the mushroom friend wants to achieve.
In terms of heat dissipation, the performance of this U4 Mini Mesh case is not bad, both sides of the case are large areas of metal perforated mesh, which can get air, even if this situation does not install any case fans, the temperature of the processor and graphics card is not high. In addition, when the fan speed of the cooling tower is increased, the temperature in other parts of the chassis can be slightly reduced, indicating that there is also a certain air duct inside the chassis, similar to the feeling of air outlet at the rear and air intake around it.
In terms of performance, 12600KF has been very popular recently, the price is cheap, a little more than 1,000 yuan, it can be overclocked, and the performance is very good. The graphics card is 4060, and you can play all kinds of online games at 2K resolution, and you can play with high special effects on a large stand-alone machine, no problem.
Thank you!
