What are the Intel and AMD overclocking motherboards
Intel motherboards
If you want to overclock the CPU, the CPU must meet the requirements of the back with K and X, and the motherboard must be supported by the motherboard, which must be Z series or X series, such as Z590, Z690, Z790, etc. If you want super memory, the motherboard must also start with Z or X.
AMD motherboards
Motherboards all support memory overclocking, while ultra CPUs require non-A-series motherboards, such as B550, B560, X570, X670, etc.
The choice of motherboard
You can consider first-line brands: ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, and if you consider reducing your motherboard budget, you can also consider second-line motherboards such as Colorful and Mingxuan.
The corresponding pairing of the motherboard and the CPU
The 10th and 11th Gen Core low-end products can be paired with H510 series and B560 series motherboards. The 12th generation of low-end can be matched with H610 series and B660 series. High-end with Z690 motherboard.
The mid-to-low-end of the 13th generation CPU can be matched with the H610 series and B760 series.
The 14th Gen Premium U can be paired with the Z790 motherboard.
CPU（Intel、AMD）
- Intel
Intel CPUs currently occupy the notebook and desktop computer market, and they are cost-effective, with the common Core i3, i5, i7, and i9.
The i3 series is suitable for office, watching videos, online games, etc. The i5 series is suitable for large-scale games, and the i7 series is suitable for large-scale games, as well as professional design, editing, and other work. The i9 series is suitable for large games, servers, Al design rendering, etc.
- AMD
The common series R5000 series, R7000 series, R9000 series R5000 series are suitable for office, video, online games, large-scale games R7000 series and R9000 series are suitable for large-scale games and professional graphic design and rendering.
The above choices are based on personal needs, cost performance can choose AMD, and if you want high productivity, you can refer to the Intel i7 series.
Graphics Card (GPU)
The graphics card is an important part used to display the picture effect and determine the display speed, and the performance index of the graphics card mainly depends on the video memory and the number of bits! The mainstream graphics card chips on the market are mainly manufactured by NVIDIA and AMD, which serve as the task of displaying graphics in the host, and play a very important role for people who like to play games and professional graphic design, which can be divided into core graphics and discrete graphics cards.
The core graphics function is concentrated in the CPU, and there is no discrete graphics card! Low power consumption, stable performance, high cost performance! Its disadvantage is that the performance is not too high, large games can not be played, it is inconvenient to upgrade, suitable for daily office, and the budget is average.
The independent graphics card exists separately, which is easy to upgrade and replace, and the performance speed is faster, but its disadvantages are high power consumption, waste electricity, and high heat generation. It is suitable for users who want a high-performance gaming experience and professional graphics.
hard disk
The hard disk is usually used as a storage device for the computer, and the system, applications, pictures, videos, etc. installed by the user when using the computer are stored in the hard disk.
Hard disks can be divided into mechanical hard disks and solid state drives
Mechanical hard disk (HDD): As the storage space of the computer, the higher the speed, the better the performance, such as 5400 rpm<7200 rpm.
Solid State Drive (SSD): Solid State Drive is divided into 2.5 inch and M.2 structure, the read speed of SSD is up to several times higher than that of mechanical hard disk, and there is a significant improvement in data loading, such as opening documents, there is an SSD can be faster than 0.5S.
Advantages and disadvantages of mechanical and solid-state
Mechanical hard disk (HDD): the advantage is that the price is low, more than 2TB regardless of capacity or price advantage is obvious, the hard disk can be broken to recover the data success rate is high, the disadvantage is that the shock and drop resistance is weak, and the noise is a bit loud.
Solid State Drive (SDD): It is a bit of fast read and write speed, fast response, shock and drop resistance, good experience, no noise, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to recover data if it is broken.
You can choose a solid-state drive for installation, 512G can be used to store data, 1T capacity or larger can be selected if possible, and you can also match solid-state drives and mechanical hard disks.
memory
Memory, also known as internal memory and main memory, is used to temporarily store computing data in the CPU, as well as data exchanged with external memory such as hard disks. It is the bridge between the external memory and the CPU, and all the programs in the computer are run in memory, and the performance of the memory affects the overall performance of the computer. As soon as the computer starts running, the operating system will transfer the data that needs to be calculated from the memory to the CPU for calculation, and when the operation is completed, the CPU will send the result.
Note: The operation of memory determines the overall speed of the computer
- Memory capacity
At present, the mainstream is divided into DDR3, DDR4, DDR5, there are 8G, 16G, 32G, 64G single strip or sleeve, office use is recommended 8-16G memory capacity, playing large games/graphic design is recommended to choose 32G and higher.
- Memory channels
Generally, mainstream hardware also supports dual-channel memory at most, and it is generally best to insert 2 to 4 memories to form a dual-channel.
Generally speaking, whether the group is dual-channel or not-group has nothing to do with whether the motherboard is dual-memory slot or quad-memory slot, the mainstream motherboard dual-slot is also dual-channel, four-slot is also dual-channel, and inserting a memory is a single channel.
- About memory brands
Mainstream brands include: Samsung, Kingston, ADATA, G.QI, Corsair, and domestic storage, Jinbaida, Jintaike, etc.
power supply
Desktop power supply is a very important hardware in the computer, equivalent to the human heart, related to the health of the entire computer operation, if you want the computer host to run stably, to avoid various problems in the process of use, you must choose a suitable power supply.
- About the certification of power supplies
80PlUs for power supplies refers to the international standard certification for power efficiency. With this certification, power supply suppliers can demonstrate that their power supply products have a high level of energy efficiency. Depending on the 80Plus certification class, the power supply must meet the corresponding energy efficiency standards under different load conditions. For example, the 80Plus Bronze certification requires a power supply with at least 80% efficiency at 20%, 50%, and 100% loads, while the 80PIUs Gold certification requires more than 90%. This ensures the energy efficiency of the power supply and reduces energy consumption and environmental pollution. There are 80Plus White Label, 80PIus Bronze, 80Plus Silver, 80PlUs Gold, 80Plus Platinum, and 80PIus Titanium Certification. Therefore, this 80Plus certification is measured around the "conversion rate" and "power factor" of the power supply, the higher the standard, the higher the corresponding power supply level ranking, the best understanding is the distinction of power saving levels. Primarily, the choice of power supply depends on the budget of the computer and other hardware requirements.
- Mainstream power supply brands on the market
Great Wall, Huntkey, Haiyun, Zhenhua, Delta, Cooleng, FSP, Corsair, Xingu, MSI, Asus, Bone Coffee, Kangshu, Xianma and so on.
radiator
Air cooling heat dissipation can be understood as tower type downward pressure and tower copper tube air cooling heat dissipation. Common copper pipes are two copper tubes, four copper tubes (single/double towers), and six copper tubes (single/double towers)
There are two types of water cooling: integrated water cooling and split water cooling. Common all-in-one liquid cooling is 120 water cooling, 240 water cooling, and 360 water cooling. Split water cooling is customized by hand according to user needs to achieve the corresponding water cooling effect.
