Z270 + i7-7700K + GTX1070 ITX Mute Small Host Installation Process

Reasons to purchase

The home E3-1230v2 computer has been used for many years, because Intel upgrade is slow, I feel I can fight for another 3 years, the performance is basically enough. This installment only hopes to replace the old large chassis with a small one, along with some minor upgrades.

The principle of this installation is:

1. Only consider ITX small models

2. Performance requirements reach the mainstream top level

3. The price is as cheap as possible, but performance and quality cannot be compromised

Chassis

First choose the chassis, visit the dog east and deep water treasure, only 2 boxes can enter the eye, the pirate ship's 380T and Josper UMX1 PLUS. Corsair space design is more reasonable, with a handle I prefer, but the material is similar to the old chassis of iron, and the price is very expensive, generally asking price 999. And Josper's UMX1 PLUS face value is very high, all aluminum material, the daily price of 499, the cost will be highlighted. The use of Dog East full-class coupons and activity vouchers can generally start with 450.


All-aluminum + tempered glass side, like this simple design

The front panel, the switch button surface has also been wired

The top heat sink can be configured with a 12cm thin fan

Lower two air filters

5mm thick tempered glass

5 screws with washers

Non-destructive graphics card brackets, reminded of the kind of brackets that were previously equipped with computers or broken by hand, there is indeed progress

This box has some places to pay attention to for your reference:

Radiator height cannot exceed 90mm

The length of graphics card can't exceed 270mm

Even if the length of the graphics card does not reach 270mm, if the width of the itx motherboard is exceeded, the power cable may be blocked and the cord needs to be used.

Because of the use of thicker tempered glass, the weight of the chassis is very heavy

Overall, the box is still very good, the top fan is a little bit worse, but considering the price, it is really not good to say anything more.

processor

The processor has no doubt selected i7-7700k, top single-core performance, 4 cores and 8 threads, acceptable multi-threaded performance, silent frequency 4.2Ghz, auto-core frequency to 4.5Ghz. With the i7-6700k performance gap, we may be more concerned about, and now a lot of comparison tests, and I give you a rough performance comparison. Ideal for use with Z270 series motherboards, usually overclocked to 5Ghz.


I7-7700k official version of the film, the current price is around 2300:

Motherboard

MSI Z270I GAMING PRO CARBON, now Z270's small board does not have too many choices, this one is law-abiding, some of the interface, function support is also basically the latest. The price should be stable at about 1000 after comprehensive distribution.

Video card

If you only use the office, there is no need to configure the graphics card, direct use of i7 nuclear +DP port can reach 4K@60Hz. If you want to play some games occasionally, then look at the video selection section.

The video card only considers the high-performance part of the video ladder diagram:

Finally chose the most cost-effective dessert-quality graphics GTX 1070, most of the performance level of the game can be fully open effects. After actual testing, Watcher Pioneer 4K has no pressure to open full effect, with an XboxOne wireless controller + Steam, turned into a good performance HTPC.

In the video decoding part, the GTX1070 supports nVIDIA's 8th generation PureVideo HD, HEVC 10bit hard solution, H-level Feature Set, and maximum support for hard-to-stream 8192x8192 (8k resolution) H.265/HEVC video streams. The 8K VP9 encoded video was actually tested and played smoothly in 60 frames.

The public version of the graphics card is almost the best choice for UMX1 PLUS chassis, mainly considering the following two factors:

The heat dissipation of the small chassis is not very good. The turbo fan of the public graphics card can timely discharge the heat to the small chassis, which will not cause the heat accumulation inside the chassis.

The public version of the graphics card is 26.7mm long and fits into the UMX1 PLUS with a 27mm limit.

Individuals also prefer the public version of the faith lamp design, so eventually chose the 1070 Founder's Edition.

The brand's choice, ASUS MSI and other 4 major manufacturers of the current price of the card is about 3300, other manufacturers of the price of 3200 or so, personal recommendations into the 4 major manufacturers, not bad this 100, quality guaranteed, generally 3 years warranty.


Packaging is very prime

Simple design, green theme for n card

Solid CAP even claims to reach 40 years of life

Unpacking:

Plastic protection is very strict

hard disk

Samsung, SM961 256G, M.2 interface, support NVME, the price is now around 780 yuan, home because there is already an 8Tb NAS, hard disk temporarily enough.

Because it is a work bag product, it is basically bought on Taobao. Keywords: SM961

Installed

After the accessories are ready, the machine is installed. The small chassis crushes the space more severely, and the cabling and installation need to be very careful. The process is relatively simple without taking too many pictures.

Plug in CPU, memory and hard disk

Install the radiator

Does not affect the memory, here it should be noted that the UMX1 PLUS chassis can be heat dissipation, the direction of the installation of the fan is different from the traditional side of the installation, but the fan is installed below, blowing up, according to the natural rise of hot air Principle, to achieve a more perfect chassis wind.

In the management line, the lines are placed behind the power supply.

Install Wi-Fi antenna

Plug in, light up

Whole body

All installed, the effect is as follows:

At the time of operation, only GEFORCE GTX can be seen. Light pollution is not serious and it is better
