Is it better to use a large size or a small size for the chassis? The small size hardware in the large chassis looks empty and uncoordinated, the chassis is too small and will not fit, incompatible, novice players will have such confusion when installing the machine; When installing a machine, you still need to decide the size and specifications of the chassis according to what kind of configuration and usage scenarios, so let's first look at the advantages and disadvantages of large and small cases.
For large chassis, we take the Great Wall chassis Archimedes KM101 as an example:
First of all, look at the size:498*240*515mm,Large size naturally corresponds to better compatibility,The maximum compatibility with E-ATX large motherboards,The top supports 360 radiators,The length limit of the graphics card has also reached 410mm。 In terms of heat dissipation, up to 9 fans can be installed, and the front panel mesh design is quite effective in terms of heat dissipation.
The advantages of the large size chassis are good compatibility, the ability to install high-spec, high-performance hardware, the wide internal space for better air circulation and heat dissipation, the high-performance hardware has a cool working environment during high-load work, and the wide back room is not difficult to route.
The disadvantage of a large-size chassis is that it takes up a lot of space, and it needs enough desktop space to be placed on the desktop, and it is bulky and inconvenient to handle.
For small cases, let's take the Great Wall chassis Archimedes KM2 as an example:
The size of the chassis is: 390*230*375mm, the overall size should be smaller, the motherboard is compatible with micro-ATX motherboards at most, the top supports 240 water cooling, the graphics card is limited to 335mm, and the heat dissipation supports the installation of up to 5 12cm fans.
The advantages of the small chassis are: exquisite and compact appearance, beautiful on the desktop and does not take up space, moderate internal space, basically compatible with mid-range configuration hardware, to create a medium-configuration host space is also completely sufficient.
The disadvantage of the small case is that the compatibility is poor, and it is impossible to install large-sized motherboards, graphics cards and radiators, and now some high-end graphics cards have gone to 350mm+, and they cannot give a good heat dissipation effect when installing high-performance configurations.
Summary:
The right one is the best, the small case is suitable for home learning consoles, and the large case is suitable for deep gamers and design, film and television and other work. Before buying a case, be sure to check the specifications of the motherboard, graphics card, and cooler before choosing the right case.
