Select new or old? ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S experience sharing

1、 Preface

One third of 2024 has passed in a twinkling of an eye, and the annual 618 is also coming. As an old player who is keen on hardware DIY, he has been committed to finding all kinds of interesting and affordable hardware products. Just recently, he discovered a treasure motherboard, and took advantage of the spring breeze before 618 to recommend it to everyone.

For a long time, the heavy artillery series and the small snow blowing series have respectively undertaken the responsibility of cost performance and appearance of the ROG 1000 yuan motherboard. With the release of Intel's 14th generation CPU, the heavy shooter series and the small snow blower series have been upgraded respectively. I have previously shared the toss and turn of the TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI II heavy shooter. Next, I will share with you the experience of the ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S small snow blower to see what changes and upgrades this motherboard has made compared with the previous one, At the same time, we also hope to provide references for netizens who are interested in this motherboard.

2、 Unpacking Introduction

The packaging style of the motherboard is the same as that of the B760-G Snowblowing. The motherboard effect picture is matched with the classic style of Snowblowing.

On the back is the specifications and parameters of the motherboard.

Attachments are as rich as ever.

The appearance of the motherboard is basically the same as that of the previous one. It is still a 2-ounce copper 6-layer black PCB with a large area of silver white armor, giving consideration to the beauty and heat dissipation.

The I/O+VRM area of the motherboard is equipped with a large area of silver white heat sink armor. At the same time, the image of Snow blowing Concubine is also printed on the heat sink, making it more attractive and distinctive.

The motherboard adopts 8+4pin ProCool high-strength solid contact pin and 12 (60A)+1 (60A)+1 power supply module design. High quality alloy inductor+durable solid capacitor+integrated MOSFET is still standard configuration. The motherboard's workmanship and specifications in power supply are very strong.

The power supply PWM is DIGI+EPU ASP2100 digital control chip, Vishay SIC623 with Dr. MOS of 60A.

The motherboard provides four DDR5 memory sockets that support AEMP II technology, with the frequency increased to 8000MHz (OC) and the capacity increased to 256GB.

The motherboard has also been strengthened in some details, such as the fan interface is provided with a protective rubber sleeve.

The motherboard provides two 5V RGB interfaces at the lower right of the memory socket.

The motherboard provides a set of USB 3.2 front-end interfaces and a 10Gbps USB 3.2 Type-C front-end interface with metal reinforcement design, which meets the needs of players to expand external storage.

The motherboard provides four horizontal SATA 6Gbps interfaces.

The PCH chip and M.2 slot in the lower half of the motherboard are also equipped with the silver white heat sink of the secondary air, which is consistent with the overall style of the motherboard and greatly enhances the cooling effect.

Easy to remove key design of graphics card is really convenient to use.

The motherboard provides one PCIe 5.0 × 16 slot, one PCIe 4.0 × 16 slot (supporting the × 4 mode), and two PCIe 4.0 × 1 slots with a high-strength design. The scalability is very strong.

In terms of storage, two PCIe 4.0 × 4 M.2 slots are provided, and both support convenient snaps, which are very convenient for disassembly and assembly.

There are also some expansion interfaces at the bottom of the motherboard, such as a lightning 4-pin, a 5V RGB and a 12V RGB interface.

The motherboard is equipped with S1220A audio chip+Savitech amplifier+SupermeFX audio protection cable+high-quality audio capacitor in terms of audio, which is no inferior to some Z790s.

At the same time, ASUS's exclusive two-way AI noise reduction technology can reduce the ambient noise of microphone input and audio output, greatly improving the player's listening experience.

The network configuration of the motherboard is still strong, The dual network card combination of Intel I226-V 2.5Gb wired network card+AX211 WiFi 6E wireless network card, combined with AI intelligent network technology, can bring unparalleled network experience to players.

The I/O interface is consistent with the previous work, DP, HDMI, USB, 2.5G network interface WiFi 6E detachable antenna, audio and other interfaces are available, BIOS FlashBack interface and 20Gbps USB Type-C are also configured.

At the back of the motherboard, this design is very personalized.

3、 Test experience

The test platform is as follows.

The installation effect is as follows, The B760-G GAMING WIFI S blizzard is used to build a white host with high appearance.

Look at the light effect.

Close up of the "eyes" light in the I/O area.

This color is also very good.

Here is a brief introduction to the BIOS of the lower motherboard.

At present, all ASUS motherboards have realized graphical BIOS interface, in which B760-G GAMING WIFI S blizzard uses a unique Xuewu battle background, with full quadratic attributes.

At present, most common player operations can be implemented in EZ Mode of the motherboard BIOS, such as memory X M. P function switch QFan curve control, startup sequence setting AURA light effect setting ReSize BAR switch, etc.

As for the toss players, they can enter the advanced Ai Tweaker mode to implement memory overclocking and other operations.

In addition, ASUS launched the APE 3.0 (ASUS MultiCore Enhancement) function, which can unlock the processor power consumption with one key after opening, providing stronger processor performance release. Of course, users who are more sensitive to temperature can open the unlocking mode of 90 ℃ temperature wall.

Advanced items.

Tool, which integrates some very practical functions, such as the BIOS upgrade function (ASUS EZ Flash 3 Utility) SSD erase function (ASUS Secure Erase), etc.

Next, perform a performance test. First, check the information about the CPU, motherboard, memory and other accessories.

In the CPU-Z benchmark test, this score is basically the same as that of 14600KF with the Z-series motherboard.

7-ZIP compression and decompression benchmark.

CINEBENCH 2024 benchmark test.

AIDA64 cache&memory benchmark.

V-Ray CPU rendering benchmark.

For AI performance test, Stable Diffusion is used for plot test.

When the resolution is set to 1920X1080, the mapping time is only 10.7s, which is very fast.

Due to the limited space, the graphics and game performance test can be directly summarized on the map.

It can be seen that in various tests, ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S performs very well in light snow blowing. At the same time, it performs stably in the test process, without restart and crash.

4、 Summary

In this test experience, The performance of ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S small snow blowing is very powerful. The main board has high appearance, good workmanship, strong power supply, and excellent performance. At the same time, the performance is also very stable in various heavy load tests, which is very suitable for building high-performance, high appearance M-ATX small steel guns.

As for the new or the old? In fact, I think both motherboards are very excellent. However, considering that the difference between ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S and ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S is only 50 yuan at present, based on the principle of buying new ones rather than old ones, plus many upgrades of ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S, it is worth the "ticket price" of 50 yuan, So I personally suggest you choose a new model.

That's all for sharing. I hope it will be helpful for you to purchase motherboards. Thank you for your appreciation!
