Transparent, wall-mounted high forcing Z270 CF platform to build!

First, early adopters should be early

Faced with the performance of INTEL “squeezing toothpaste”, the mainboard platform has come along from Z77, Z97 and Z170. Although each upgrade brings limited performance enhancement, INTEL is still upgrading its users' CPU slots. Stopping changes, which made me miss the longest life LGA775 platform. In the final analysis, all this is because AMD does not give power, and the products of agricultural enterprises cannot directly confront each other and create advantages.

Last year, due to the disappointment of the Z170 platform, the X99 platform was started. The advantages of overclocking the X99 platform, the stability of CPU overclocking, and so on, have all been experienced. What is the performance of the latest Z270 platform?

Second, hardware

As the latest Z270 high-end platform, the other hardware that cooperates with it is also relatively awesome.

Motherboard:

The Z200 series has been released for some time. There are three kinds of motherboards, the Z270H270B250, which correspond to different markets and people. Z270, H270, and B250 correspond to Z170, H170, and B150, respectively. The main differences are in the configuration of PCI-E channels, overclocking, USB 3.0, and RST PCI-E channels.

The AMD Z270 is a motherboard for positioning game-level applications. The black and green color of the motherboard is different from other motherboards. The motherboards of the AMD brand mainly face the market of servers and workstations. Since the Z170 era, it has only begun to transform into a civilian-class market. Due to low brand recognition, inconvenient channels, and high selling prices, the motherboard has been buzzing in the market. However, as can be seen from the Z270, AMD has begun to change positively.

The Z270 is a high-end product of the 200 series motherboard. The interface is very complete. The power supply of the motherboard is covered with heat sinks and has LED lighting function. The Z270-C6 has six SATA interfaces, four memory slots, three PCI-E slots, and two M.2 interfaces. But whatever you can think of as the number of interfaces and numbers, it has all, and a lot of them. .

The 200 series chipset of the new platform has three main boards, the Z270H270B250, corresponding to different markets and people. The Z270 corresponds to the Z170, and the PCI-E 3.0 channel adds four to 24.

RAM:

The memory uses the current Kingston Fury DDR4 2400 memory, two 16G memory combinations for the 32G total capacity, the main stable and cooling, but also to meet the daily software and game applications.

CPU:

The top product of the Kaby Lake-S architecture has made the population very watery. It started with the 7700K and continued to use it.

Graphics card:

In order to maximize the increase in compression and performance, the graphics card used this time is the XFX RX480 4G deep red version. The Z270, which is a full-size motherboard, is compatible with two graphics cards. Therefore, the XFX RX480 4G Crimson Edition is used to compose CF, which can improve performance with a limited budget.

The XFX RX480 4G Crimson Edition features a Cool Soul 4 generation cooling system. This cooling system can achieve fan stop function under low load. It has three 8mm diameter heat pipes, and can be disassembled and replaced with the same size fan. The graphics card also uses a dual BIOS design, mainly for backup, does not have overclocking capabilities, anodized aluminum alloy backplane is also higher.

The original graphics card comes with a red LED light fan, and purchased 1 blue and 1 white fan for replacement.

power supply:

As a power source for dual graphics cards, the power supply must be reliable and stable as the first requirement. Use XTR650. XTR650 rated power 650W, 80PLUS gold certification, LLC+DC-DC's top-level solution, Haiyun G program's representative power supply.

Chassis:


Like the TT's P3 wall-mount chassis, but it is too expensive, it can not afford it, TT P3 dismal sales also proved its irrational pricing.

After thousands of choices finally found a similar chassis in Mayun home, finally able to meet my requirements. That's right, you did not misread it! ! ! As long as 139 yuan! ! !

The lower part of the chassis is a metal plate that can be used to install motherboards, power supplies, 240-size water-cooled, SSD, HDD, and other hardware, and can support EATX motherboards. The upper part is an acrylic transparent cover. The upper and lower parts are connected by 4 columns. The overall structure of a full-size steel transparent chassis.

The chassis can be wall-mounted as a whole, with good workmanship, very clean polishing, and polished corners. The hole position is also accurate. The only downside is that the metal plate is relatively heavy.

heat sink:

The chassis has selected a transparent wall-mounted platform, and the CPU heat sink must naturally use an integral water-cooled radiator to enhance the forcing. The 240EX version of Kyushu Captain Aeolus was selected. After more than two years of improvement, Captain 240 has completed all-round evolution from water pipes, fasteners, fans, and cold heads. The workmanship, efficiency, and safety have all been greatly improved.

Storage: SSD+SSHD

SSD:

The high-strength host uses the extreme performance SSD, and the SSD cooling of the M.2 interface is always an unavoidable and resolvable issue. Therefore, the Plextor M8PeY 512G PCIe NVMe SSD with PCI-E interface is selected. M8PeY supports NVMe protocol and is suitable as a system disk installation system, common software, and large-scale games. And Plextor's personal and worry-free RMA policy is very reassuring.

SSHD:

Previously used a Seagate Barracuda 2T hard drive to store most of the daily data of the machine, but the speed of the HDD mechanical hard drive has always been unsatisfactory, coupled with SMART information appears yellow warning, decided to upgrade to the SSHD, decided to use a piece of SSHD to store daily use of data .

Because the Plextor M8PeY has a 512G capacity, the system, common software, and common games have been fully accommodated. In order to reduce the size of the hard disk, this installation uses the 2.5 inch Seagate SSHD for installation, with a capacity of 2TB.

Thus, the final configuration of the entire machine is as follows:

CPU: I7 7700K

Radiator: Captain Kyushu Fengshen 240EX

Motherboard: SUPER MICRO Z270-CG

Memory: Kingston FURY 2400 8G×2

Graphics: XFX 480 4G X2 CF

SSD: Plextor M8PeY

SSHD: 2.5 inch Seagate Barracuda 2T

System: WIN10 PRO

Power Supply: XFX XTR650

Fourth, performance testing and summary

Computer Information Overview

CPU performance test:

Memory Cache Performance Test:

SSD performance test:

SSHD performance test:

Display performance test:

The Z270 is a high-end product of the 200 series mainboard. It has a very comprehensive function and supports CPU overclocking. Naturally, the CPU is overclocked to a 4.8G performance test:

It can be seen that the performance of the 7700K overclocked to 4.8G is about 11% better than that of the 7700K at 4.2G, which is the default frequency. In large-scale applications, the advantage is obvious. Unfortunately, this 7700K constitution has some thunder, and the voltage has reached 1.33V.

V. Summary

In all fairness, the Z200 series and the Kaby Lake-S architecture are INTEL's “squeezing toothpaste” action. It only belongs to the perfection and upgrade from the Z100 series to the Z200, and the performance improvement is not the first one. Z100 series, whether it is for manufacturers or players, are more disappointed. The Z200 series has been significantly improved in terms of specifications, product layout, and support. It is believed that the Z200 will not be disappointing.

The brand-new Z270 platform has already been released, all kinds of forcing products have already arrived, like early adopters, it is definitely worth buying!
