As people grow older, they seem to lose interest in many things, such as drama, games, and some things they loved when they were young... But some hobbies, such as basketball, and hardware DIY, do not decline with age.
The hobby of hardware has lasted for nearly 20 years. The original purpose was just to save machines for playing games. Later, it became a habit and persistence. During this period, it also experienced the explosion of video We media. As a player with a larger "hard age" ratio in the circle, there was a great opportunity to become a pioneer,But because I still have to work on weekdays, I dare not give up my main job, and I can only do hardware part-time.After one year's trial, I found that the part-time video work time was not enough, so I continued to stick to the image and text track.
In those days, the third brother was also a Wenqing, so he also preferred to share in words. But now, pictures and texts are declining, and the traffic is declining.But no matter what, as long as there are people watching, the third brother will continue to share
It seems to be a bit wordy,Today, the third brother will share a M-ATX Seaview Room host, which is based on Intel Core i9 14900K+ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S Snowblowing+Acer Predator Hermes DDR5 6800 RGB 16G × 2+Kingston KC3000 1TB+Studios RTX 4080 SUPER HOF OC LAB Master-X+Kyushu Aeolus MYSTIQUE Ice Storm 360+Great Wall N17 1700W+Joshber D300, with very strong performance,At the same time, the color matching of black and white is also very good. Now let's share the process and test experience with you.
2、 Introduction to matching ideas and accessories
This set of matching machine focuses on high performance. It can be perfectly matched whether playing games or productivity. Of course, different applications have different priorities. Therefore, players who want to copy homework should make slight changes and make appropriate adjustments to individual accessories.
Intel Core i9 14900K is selected as CPU.
This is a U with obvious advantages and disadvantages. Its advantage is that its performance is very strong, and it is competent for both productivity and games. Its disadvantage is that high power consumption and high heat are caused by high dominant frequency. At present, there are almost no radiators on the market that can hold it.Later, in order to pursue stability, Intel released a new version of BIOS. The good news is that with the addition of the new version of BIOS, it has finally become less hot and U's performance has become more stable;The bad news is that performance also drops.So please choose the new BIOS or the old BIOS according to the situation.I didn't upgrade the BIOS this time, so let's just focus on the hot, and let's forget about the performance degradation.
The motherboard has chosen ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S Snowblowing. In fact, according to the positioning of K series U, it seems that the use of Z series motherboard is better. But according to my actual experience, there is no essential difference between the performance of i9 14900K with ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S Snowblowing and that of Z790. Since B760 is more cost-effective, why pay more to choose Z790?
The front of the outer package of the motherboard is at a glance.
The back of the outer package of the motherboard is at a glance.
The motherboard adopts black and white color matching, that is, the combination of black 2-ounce copper 6-layer PCB+silver white heat dissipation armor, which can be described as both beauty and heat dissipation.
The I/O+VRM area of the motherboard covers a large area of silver white heat dissipation armor, which, together with the blowing Xueji shape, makes the personality more distinctive and the appearance more outstanding.

4、 Performance test experience
CPU、List of mainboard and memory information.
In the CPU-Z benchmark test, the performance of i9 14900K with ASUS B760 Snowblowing S is basically the same as that of Z790.
7-ZIP compression and decompression benchmark.
CINEBENCH 2024 benchmark.
AIDA64 cache&memory benchmark.
GPU CUDA benchmark for V-Ray rendering.
In the Stable Diffusion mapping time test of AI performance test, the mapping time of 1920X1080 resolution images is only 11.0s, which is relatively fast.
Next, test the graphics performance. See the GPU-Z screenshots.
Due to space constraints, the graphics and game performance tests can be summarized directly.
It can be seen that in various tests, the performance of this host is very excellent, and the performance is very strong. At the same time, in the multi day test process, the performance is very stable, and there is no abnormality.
CPU baking machine test (room temperature 22.7 ℃): use AIDA64 single hook FPU baking machine for 15 minutes, clear the scores of the first 10 minutes, and then record the average temperature between the 10th and 15th minutes.
At present, there is almost no radiator that can hold 14900K, so in the process of baking, 14900K frequency reduction is expected, but the power consumption after frequency reduction is still as high as 250W, and Kyushu Fengshen MYSTIQUE Ice Storm 360 can successfully suppress it to about 80 ℃, which is more powerful.
The GPU uses FurMark for baking machine (room temperature is the same as above). After the baking machine is stabilized, the maximum core temperature is 73 ℃, which is relatively low for the core scale of RTX 4080 SUPER.
The power consumption test, after all, is a high-end host. The power consumption of this configuration is relatively high. The baking machine with a single CPU is more than 500 watts. If it is double baking, it will go straight to 800W. Of course, this power consumption is not enough for the Great Wall N17 1700W.
5、 Summary
This time, I installed a high-end host recently.From the test results, the performance of this host is very strong, and it is perfectly competent for both games and professional productivity.
In addition, in this installation, the ROG STRIX B760-G GAMING WIFI S small snow blowing performance is very powerful, and the i9 14900K is also very stable. There is no blue screen crash and other abnormal phenomena, and the stability is very powerful. At the same time, the addition of the easy removal key of the video card makes it more convenient for players to disassemble the video card;In terms of graphics cards, the Yingchi RTX 4080 SUPER HOF OC LAB Master-X has outstanding appearance and powerful performance, which fully conforms to the consistent impression of the HOF series;Acer predator Hermes DDR5 6800 RGB 16G × 2 memory vest is thick and beautiful, which perfectly matches the color matching of this installation;Kingston KC3000 1TB has excellent performance, effectively solving the storage problem;Kyushu Fengshen MYSTIQUE Ice Storm 360 is not only highly efficient, but also creative in LCD screen display, which undoubtedly injects a lot of vitality into the radiator market with serious internal volume;Great Wall N17 1700W has solid materials and workmanship, and is stable in various tests;The overall molded curved glass side plate is used in the case of Joshberg D300, which shows the strength of the case of the sea view room from multiple aspects. The use experience is really good.
That's all for sharing. It's just that 618 is coming soon. I hope it can help you with matching functions. Thank you!
