DIY novice manual ⑦ Don't let the motherboard specifications get confused!

preface:

It is almost the end of the year. I believe many DIY lovers are ready to save their private money and install a new computer at the end of the year. Indeed, at the end of the year, the overall price of the DIY market should be the last low. After all, many merchants will return to their own stores during the Spring Festival, and many hardware will be out of stock. Therefore, if you have waited for a long time, it should be more suitable for you to take action now.

Readers who have been following our DIY Novice Guide column, even if you were a novice at first, you should not be unfamiliar with the hot hardware models in the market now, and it is no longer difficult to choose a set of configurations independently. However, in our QQ In the interactive group, as well as in the submission consultation for my official mailbox, We can often see that netizens a main board The choice of is full of twists and turns. Today's serialized content focuses on the whole topic of "motherboard selection", which can also be regarded as a unified teaching sharing.

Like many netizens, the author did not have a deep concept of motherboard when he first came across DIY: isn't this a hardware installation platform? As long as the CPU sled supports the selected processor, each socket interface is sufficient. Aren't they all the same? This is often the beginner's initial understanding of the motherboard.

Indeed, compared with CPU, graphics card, memory, hard disk and other hardware, the motherboard does not have the function of directly outputting performance, but rather serves as a "green leaf" to carry performance components. However, the importance of the motherboard as a "green leaf" cannot be ignored. In the most basic theory, although the source of power supply for all hardware is the power supply part, power needs to be distributed to all hardware through the motherboard. So in the early days of DIY, the specification of power supply has become the front line of competition, and it is natural for us as consumers to choose motherboards from the specification.

High specification It's impulsive. Have you been shot?

However, this also leads to a problem: many novices are often overwhelmed by the "specification" when choosing motherboards, and always want to buy the one with the highest specification and the most comprehensive functions within the budget. Nowadays, the principle of "cost performance first" has led more and more people to become rational when purchasing goods, especially digital electronic products. However, rational consumption has become an empty talk in the face of some specifications and functions with "selling points".

First of all, we don't care what the "motherboard specification" really means. The first step for DIY storage is to determine our needs and product positioning. Locking the CPU and motherboard combination narrows the selection range. For users who are pursuing cost performance ratio, the CPU and motherboard are the best choices for entry-level positioning; DIY enthusiasts who like tossing can choose the configuration scheme that supports overclocking.
