Tiger4G Talks Digital Thirty-four: How Do You DIY a Highly-Forbidden Cannon?

Relying on the fiery gaming market and many industry applications for high-performance host demand, although the PC market has been tightening, but the high-performance configuration of the PC host has instead become the preferred choice for many people to upgrade or replace.

Before because I wrote a lot of PC DIY related evaluation content, so many people will personally contact me to recommend the assembly configuration or assembly program, so this time I simply combined with a recent assembly of a machine, talk about how to start a DIY from 0 Highly forged cannon.

How to assemble a high-strength host? You can use the KuN MOD host to find famous domestic MOD god KuN like the “bullet” classmates. (For example, the following three figures, all of which are KuN's less, the pictures can be a little through KuN); if you have a little DIY ability You can also try your own DIY project.

Get experience from someone else's work. Individuals have always appreciated the works of Kui less, mainly because his work is not only cool, but also very harmonious overall. From his works you can see an order, and the other is the color level mentioned in this article.

The same or different colors can not only make your PPT layout more beautiful, but also apply to DIY consoles or other modification operations, making your work easier to stand out from the various styles of Auto Parts City. Therefore, when we started the program, we must consider how the color of the main body of the job is what we want, and then choose the appropriate accessories.


Chassis, chassis this kind of thing basically does not give you the host what kind of performance improvement, but for our installed operation is particularly important, it determines your job skeleton, style, almost all MOD operations inside the chassis are the most important exist.

This time, my choice of chassis is also a personal favorite of the recent chassis, Anker Tektronix launched Razer Cube Razer Special Edition. It is also because it determines that our current installation is a mysterious green and black color.

The Anker released this time, finally returned to P180's aura feeling. The overall style is particularly harmonious, with the feeling of a brand host. Cube as an ITX chassis, the internal space and scalability can in fact be relatively large, and relying on the proportion of design, the overall does not seem very bloated.

The front panel of the cabinet is a plastic panel. The LOGO and the bottom part can be illuminated (green), while the side panel and the top cover are all aluminum alloy + side transparent settings. The texture is beyond my expectation (preliminarily thought to be a full plastic + steel plate setting)

The USB port also became a Razer-like green port.

Although it is an ITX chassis, but the interior is still the upper and lower compartment structure (power supply, motherboard), the main consideration is to look beautiful.


The main board, which follows the chassis, is probably the main board, especially for the ITX platform. General standard ATX, MATX expandability Regardless of the motherboard itself, follow-up if there are special needs can be solved by upgrading the fake related accessories, but the ITX platform is not the same, the motherboard itself or even the box limits how many accessories you can install, so It is best to determine your own configuration plan requirements from the beginning so that you can choose a suitable ITX motherboard.

And my choice here is MSI's Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC, consider the points: with I7 7700K can be properly overclocked, its own motherboard integration is very high, M.2 NVMe support, comes with M.2 port AC wireless network card Bluetooth, and the other thing is that it comes with software to set the main board's lights just to match my previous MSI GTX1080 GAMING X 8G.

The Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON AC can be considered as a typical all-round small steel gun. There is almost no shortcoming in my experience of using it for some time.

Many of the power supply capacitors are directly on the back, and there is also an M.2 port that supports SATA and NVMe protocol SSDs.

Many peripheral manufacturers support lighting systems

The IO port is also fully covered.

In the storage section, the traditional SSD+HDD combination is different. Here, the large-capacity SSD is used directly, and other large-capacity data storage is directly used by the NAS to make it more convenient and the utilization rate is improved.

So SSD chose Kingston's HyperX Predator 480G, NVMe protocol, PCIe 4X bandwidth, capacity and speed are worthy of cannon setting.

The CPU takes into account the overclocking, so it also uses the DDR4 3333 specifications of the sliver, but the capacity to buy a small, and later should consider replacing the 16GX2 combination.

The video card, in many cases, determines the use of this small cannon for entertainment or pure productivity tools. Here is the former card Emperor GTX1080, although the new card is listed, but after the price adjustment GTX1080 will replace the original position of the GTX1070, and the performance is still very substantial (there are evaluations below).

The MSI, a non-public version of the GTX1080, is also quite heterogeneous. It is more compact than the other 3 fan versions of the 1080, although it is still more shoulder-packed PCB set. In addition, the graphics card itself also supports APP settings and can set the light color together with the motherboard.

Cube has a feature that is optimized for one-piece water-cooled radiators, so even though it is an ITX chassis, it does not matter whether it is a 120 or 240-size integrated water-cooled (MOD water-cooling solution). So I also chose the H100I V2 integrated water cooling of the Corsair to guarantee the cooling of the CPU after the OC.

Why not directly introduce the MOD water-cooling scheme here? The main MOD water-cooling scheme is relatively more difficult than the integrated water-cooling system. Therefore, individuals suggest that novices can try integrated water-cooling first.

The power supply part is also a place that cannot be neglected. In addition to the abundant power and quiet sound of the power supply in many cases, the user-friendly settings such as the module line will be more convenient for your DIY solution.

So my side chose a solution with a C/P value based on the configuration, which is the XFX550+ official custom silver plated cable from XFX XFX. The XTR550 is also considered a regular customer of the Auntie discounted information program. The program is an optimized program for the Haiyun G series. It is a relatively mature and efficient solution, and it often achieves 1w1 or even less. All modules and low-load stalls are also available in configurations that were previously available in high-end models.

The silver-plated line bought this time is also an official XFX custom, and it is more convenient to purchase.

XFX rated 550W XTR550 power supply (80PLUS gold / full module / 5-year warranty / support back line) 479 yuan XFX XTR series 550W power supply can be regarded as the optimal version of the Rhine G program, adding a low load fan Stopping, the 12cm fan replaced the 13.5cm fan, also passed the 80plus gold medal, the nominal effective conversion rate of 90%, and the high conversion rate power supply of high-tech products. Double-panel, high-standard materials and LLC+DC-DC topology full-module design, 12V single-circuit design, 12V maximum 45A540W output Jingdong Direct link Encyclopedia

Custom lines make it easier to get a concise line, which is also aesthetically pleasing, so all basic MOD operations will be considered.


The process of assembly and assembly is hard to say. It is simple and simple. For example, my installation was very smooth, and I did not take more than 2 hours to take pictures. However, this is based on my earlier preparations, such as watching other people use Cube's installed experience, confirmed that some of the accessories size just fit in (such as water, graphics, power) so the whole installation process began in the head and walked it again.

In addition, personal advice for novices for the first time DIY, you can first install the main accessories (CPU, motherboard, memory, power supply) bare metal, and then the minimum system method light test, if you can power self-test, prove basically no problem Start packing. This operation is mainly to avoid some compatibility or its own accessories problems, resulting in late testing or replacement. (How to start the bare-metal minimum system method? Use a metal object to touch the power pins on the motherboard and power it on. If you can't try it, don't try.)

The following is the effect of the installation, what is the line is also very simple, after all, as few as possible accessories and module lines, so the front as far as possible no wire, more beautiful.

In order to match the style, all the fans of the whole machine were replaced by Qiao Sibo's solar eclipse fan, and the green light was used. I didn't expect the brightness and color scale to be just right with the original machine.

Although the cube is an ITX box, and MSI this GTX1080 is a non-public widening, but still can be easily installed, Cube graphics card is part of the 3 slot settings, even if you have 2 slots of graphics cards still have reserved space for heat dissipation, and The height of the graphics card is basically no card that will be ultra-high.

Memory vest color is just good.

Corsair’s wrapped cold pipes are equally beautiful.

After it was installed, it was tested at the power supply. This is followed by installing the system and software.

Here we must set up the main MSI lighting system, set up the motherboard's backlight and graphics card LOGO lights, because just support the same control software, and are RGB arbitrary color, so try to adjust with the chassis itself is the same light.

Compared with the effect of the daytime, the whole machine is green. At present, for various lighting settings, personal preference for warm-colored lights, such as green light, red light, or orange, is less dazzling. The blue light is the most dazzling.

The bottom of the box also comes with light strips, and it is a very uniform kind.

The belief snake LOG in front of the chassis will also shine

With the effect after the side penetration, it feels like the light is adding a filter, reducing the diffraction.


Performance, since it is a small steel gun, we must test the performance, especially GTX1080 is quite old.

After all, the non-public overclocked version of GTX1080, 3DMARK FSU still ran 5.5K+ scores, in fact, are interested can try dual card SLI, the real smooth 4K casual play, after all, single card 1080Ti also can not reach.

VRMARK score is very good

PCMARK 8 "productivity" mode, the machine is still high score (normally higher than 4000, even if the high-performance host)

SSD speed

DDR3333, CPU overclocked to 4.8G, bandwidth is still considerable, there is a good acceleration of Lr type software.

GTA5 and OWD measured, both under the 1440P (2K) resolution, the highest special effects, still a variety of smooth

Lastly, we discuss the topic. Do you think that if you look for someone to install it, the labor that others pay should be free?

The reason is that the recent colleagues discussed a certain network red installed store, their family's stuff is indeed more expensive than the individual accessories add up two or three hundred, but others overall configuration is relatively balanced, there is no special configuration (such as power). In addition, the camera also has a primary alignment (non-goal alignment, but it is OK). At the same time, I feel that such an increase in the price of sales is not kind, but I personally feel that people have paid for labor and design, and that proper compensation for personal compensation is reasonable. Then I thought about how to install other people before the installation is free of charge, or free to do a variety of post-sale hardships. . .

So, on this point, we all feel that if we look for a friend or a friend's friend, it will be free? (Reassured, I do not take the opportunity to install the machine, I will not pick up the money you give)
