Game console installed in a computer bag: MSI MSI MSI 3 desktop computer (hardware) prepared for VR games

The section of this article contains the appearance introduction, hardware configuration comments and performance tests, and the other part will be reviewed from the part of the application. The VR game mentioned here is not the primary mode of playing with the mobile phone shown in Figure 2, nor is it the game played by the VR integrated machine with its own system in Figure 3, but it needs to be matched with a computer (Figure 1). VR virtual reality helmets, such as HTC VIVE, which are used by computers and laptops, can drive OCULUS by driving the configuration of HTC VIVE.

For the hardware configuration of HTC VIVE, the two most important indicators are the first one is that the graphics card is on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 or AMD Radeon R9 290 or more, so the models are directly screened in the ladder diagram.

The CPU needs to be above the Intel Corei5-4590 or AMD FX 8350, which is more than the optional range of the graphics card.

Change from game notebook to game console

If you say that the last thing in 2017 is what it is, that is not to buy light shadow Wizard Gen III Plus, the specific model is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop (i7-7700HQ + 8G + 128G SSD + 1T mechanical hard drive + GTX1050Ti 4G alone significant + IPS FHD screen). Because he compared the Shi Lai Tai game later, abandoned the eyes of the aliens and the prodigals, and added this to the shopping cart thinking of coupons and so on, the results were so special they missed, even if it was a return, they can get Three times the actual payment for the payment of renminbi compensation. Unfortunately, I didn't miss it. I missed it and missed it. You shouldn't get it if you didn't. Well, self-consolation.

Before purchasing the Shadow Genie III Plus, they purchased the Dell Tour 7000. The hardware configuration was i5-7300HQ + 8GB RAM + 128G SSD + 500G + GTX1050 4G alone, but after 23 days, the Trustee resold it and lost 300. Money. why? This game is a bit different from what one expects. One is loud noise. This is not a reason for this game. There is not much advantage in performance, not to mention playing a fierce, to discuss a ghost screen II even a blue screen, playing computer is the most worried about this blue screen problem; Second, there is a slot design spindle, worried about life; the third is Accustomed to the 15.6-inch Thinkpad T520, 14-inch screen is too small; four is ready for the later to buy HTC VIVE preparation, this computer has room for improvement in hardware configuration, the price is relatively cheap, but the hardware configuration has no advantage .

At the moment, if it is downtime, it is not too cost-effective. First, the price of memory is too high, and second, the price of the graphics card is too high. So continue to look for games or game consoles. However, the game turned around and searched for a few, or switched to game consoles. As for game consoles of XX countries, they haven’t bought or bought them. Don’t ask why. The game desktop that is in use for oneself is also stuck at the level of a few years ago, the newest replacement video card is only a few years ago 1050.

It also took a lot of time for the screening of the desktop computer, because the original positioning of the above gaming notebook was only used for playing games and playing 4K local videos smoothly. However, for the selection of desktop computers, the vision should be put a little longer. That is Can play VR games, so you want to directly select the graphics + CPU model, and finally in the six hosts to choose.

1. Lenovo Rescue VIP MAX chicken game desktop computer host (AMD Ryzen7 1800X 8G128G SSD+1T GTX1060 6G three-year door), 1800X theoretical performance is indeed better, better than i7-7700, but not as The direct reason for the purchase. However, the price of 7,999 yuan is just an 8G RAM, and it feels a bit inappropriate. As an Intel loyal user and N card powder, the ASUS F8va purchased AMD platform is only to experience CrossFire. The above AMD platform is only used in the 37 hosts that were accumulated before 2013. All of them are used. Intel CPU, want to make up for the lack of desktop AMD's regret. So this configuration is Pass.

2. ASUS G11 flight fortress desktop game computer host eat chicken host (i7-7700 8G 128G SSD+1T GTX1060 3G three-year door) This how to say, 6799 yuan price does have advantages, but you come to a 3G What is the version of GTX1060? Or an 8G RAM......... Asus, you are now a treacherous stone. Goodbye……

3. Dell (DELL) XPS8920-R19N8 high-performance "chicken" game desktop computer host (i7-7700 + GTX1060 6G alone significant +16G RAM + 256G SSD + 2T mechanical hard drive), the overall configuration is good, the price of 8999 yuan also acceptable. However, after careful inquiry, we found that although it is 256G SSD, but this is a Hynix PC300 SSD, model hfs256gd9mnd-5510A, using two Hynix H27Q1T8YQ3R single-capacity 128GB MLC flash memory chip, cache H9TCNNN4GDAL is DDR3 1.35V 512M The master is SK hynix SH88800AA. Write speed is too bad, direct Pass.

4. ThundeRobot F81 Pro chicken game desktop computer host (i5-8400 16G GTX1060 6G1T+128G Win10) 6666 yuan price really attractive, 8400 CPU performance is also good, but the price is so low, there is always The reason is. Which motherboard is used? ASRock. But he is going to play VR games, there are several HDMI interface, the official publicity map even a map of the back interface is not, is it shy or unwilling to allow users to see? Looking for a half-day user evaluation of the figure only to find only one HDMI interface, EXCUSE ME? Direct Pass, because the chassis is really ugly, but my tank, buffalo and cool mother chassis ... ... Moreover, I feel like this brand is a pit.

5. Titanium degree (Taidu) TPC300 Black crystal chicken game desktop computer host (i7-7700 16G 120SSD+1TB GTX1060 3G alone significantly WIN10) Personally, he likes black crystal design, more alternative, a sense of fashion , but the price of 8,299 yuan is just using 3G's GTX1060, direct Pass.

6. MSI Sea King 3 Trident 3-044 desktop gaming computer (i7-7700 16G 1T 256GGTX1060 6G alone Wifi WIN10), this interface is the largest and most abundant, support for VR READY, 256G SSD Kingston's, 1T hard drive is HGST, designed with TYPE-C, support shutdown charging function and so on. Another design feature is that this is a miniPC because it is very small. It's a bit smaller than the 15.6-inch Thinkpad T520, but it's thicker and can fit into a laptop.

Here I would like to say that although all are 16G RAM, although they are all 1060 graphics cards, although they are all SSDs, but the detailed parameters is what, what is the motherboard, what are the interfaces, these will involve the actual use of , so we must first carefully understand, do not take it for granted, otherwise there may be a problem of return.

Let's review the design and hardware configuration.

The products are those things

1. Small and compact, it belongs to mini eSports host and can be inserted into a 15.6-inch laptop bag

2. Can be placed horizontally or vertically with a dedicated base

3. Rich interface, front and rear with VR interface is very audio input and output interface, support DVI-D, HDMI and DP interface output function

4. Built-in silent storm cooling system ensures effective heat dissipation and ensures low noise

5. Supports VR devices and supports VRLINK. Only VR exclusive jacks are designed for the front and rear interfaces, making it easy to install and use.

6.256G Kingston M.2 interface SSD with 1TB HTSG mechanical hard disk to ensure high speed read and write performance and storage requirements

7. Gigabit LAN to ensure stable and fast reading of shared files on LAN devices and high-speed stability of network environment

8. Comes with a TYPE-C interface and gaming I/O interface to meet the connection requirements of external TYPE-C interface devices and gaming mouse

9. Comes with 4K UHD triple screen interface, which can be used simultaneously with three external display devices

10. Designed with a quick charging interface, which can be used to charge the device in the off state

11. System built-in MSI gaming center, can improve the game experience by adjusting system performance

12. Genuine WIN10 system, but once the network activation does not support seven days no reason to return

13. Comes with a SteelSeries Bluetooth gaming controller STRATUS XL, compatible with Android and WINDOWS platforms

14. The internal design of the chassis is clean and tidy

15. Non-tool-free assembly and disassembly, the components of the chassis are tightly connected, and the hard disk replacement is slightly inconvenient.

16. With the WIN10 HOME system, although there is not much difference with the main features of the professional version, but individuals have been using the professional version and the enterprise version, there will be slight differences in the installation of software, games

Slightly avant-garde design can lie down

When you see the appearance of the host, the first place to attract yourself is this angular, three-dimensional design. The second is the logo of the TGPBOX. The TGP is the game of Tencent. Then the logo of this TGPBOX is naturally the game with Tencent. There is a relationship, do not know if it is Tencent's custom machine, more likely to be Penguin and MSI's cooperation products.

The general e-sports host has relatively large internal space, so there is no problem in the installation of water-cooled, air-cooled, large-scale graphics cards. Due to the design of the MiniPC, the Sea King 3 uses a slimmer body. Naturally, it cannot use the traditional graphics card installation method. Therefore, it is only possible to make breakthroughs in the design. Therefore, the biggest highlight is that the discrete graphics card adopts a horizontal installation. The design, in simple terms, is to bend the motherboard's graphics card slot. Through the side of the fuselage, this steel mesh can directly see the fan of the internal graphics card.

For the part of the material, because of the light's sake, the right side of the fuselage looks like a matte material, but in fact it is a drawing process, with a wooden texture, that is, a sense of the same, and also play a non-slip effect, but also feel good. However, on the left side of the fuselage is the side that can be placed horizontally, then a frosted process is used. As for the Dragon Shield of this MSI game series logo in the upper right corner, it would have been designed to be a religious lamp. Unfortunately, it is not only a sign, but red is also a dotted ornament in this all-black body.

The first comment on the thermal design, after all, this is a high-performance gaming console is also a high power consumption. There are altogether five vent holes in the design, in addition to the right side of the upper body (upright mode) corresponding to the location of the graphics fan, the other four are the top of Figure 1, Figure 2 corresponds to the location of the left side of the chassis, Figure 3 chassis back The area of ​​the heat dissipation holes in these three areas is not large. Figure 4 shows the cooling holes at the bottom of the chassis.

Look at the interface design before and after, look at the taste of some PS4 on the side, but the size is bigger. Figure 1 shows the front of the fuselage and Figure 2 shows the back of the fuselage. Sea King 3 will switch machine button design at the top of the front position, which is the side of the white light of Figure 1, the button is more crisp, very sensitive response.

The following figure is the effect diagram of the indicator light. With the three-in-one design, there are more light strips, and the color will change with the status of the boot operation. The white sign above the blue light is the switch button, and the triangle button design is used.

For the front interface part, from the top to the bottom is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and microphone jack, plug in more convenient; for this Type-C interface is to meet the TYPE-C interface with mobile storage devices Use the demand, or connect with the adapter as a video output interface; the front two orange USB 3.1 Type-A interfaces facilitate the use of plug-in devices, and can also be used to charge in the off state. The bottom HDMI interface is used with VR virtual display helmets.

Compared to the front of the fuselage interface, the number and type of interface on the back more. Compared to the front-end audio interface, there is also a 3.5mm headphone jack and microphone jack designed here, but the difference is that one is LINEIN, and the other is LINEOUT, which means that the sound of the external audio device can be input to On the PC side, as far as gameplay is concerned, it depends on your application scenario. As a portable miniPC, the same as the notebook should also consider anti-theft, so it is also designed with a computer keyhole, used with anti-theft latches. In the design of the wired interface, the design of the Gigabit Ethernet port is used by the Sea King 3, which caters to the current demand for 100-megabit bandwidth and large file sharing on the local area network. On the USB interface, only a USB 3.1 Type-A is designed here, but four USB 2.0 interfaces are provided to meet the needs of external fixed interfaces such as mouse, keyboard, and NAS. There are two HDMI interfaces here, but one of them is VR LINK. The function is to use the dedicated HDMI cable to transfer the HDMI interface of the discrete graphics card to the VR interface at the front end of the host computer. Only in this way, the front-end VR interface function can take effect. The purpose is naturally to connect HTC VIVE, OCULUS and other VR virtual reality helmets.

For this piece of 1060's single display, DP interface, HDMI port, and DVI port are designed and designed on the interface. The VGA port has been abandoned. If you want to use the VGA port, you need to purchase an adapter.

As mentioned earlier, the Sea King 3 can be placed horizontally or horizontally. The reason is that the left side of the fuselage is designed with four slightly elevated feet, which can effectively prevent slippage.

After the external introduction is complete, let's take a quick look at the internal workmanship. However, there is a problem. Will the disassembly affect the warranty? This does not care, as long as it is not hardware damage, there is a problem how much you can solve.

The graphics board has a blackened heat pipe design

The so-called cut-off is actually in the CPU cooling fan and graphics card directly has a black PVC material of the small baffle, as to what this design, unlike the fan is used to fix, more likely to be related to heat, relatively small space with A single fan design may be more targeted in terms of heat dissipation effects and slightly better in effect. In terms of size, the motherboard uses a mini-ITX, occupying about half of the chassis space.

The motherboard uses MSI's own products. The memory module uses two 8G DDR4 SO-DIMM Kingstons, and detailed comments will be made later.

The design of this small chassis, the high degree of fit of the various components, is not suitable for this up directly on the disassemble, because their strength is not controllable, the cover is push-pull, easier to remove, but the other three The shell is not easy, there is a one-piece design, there is a snap-type connection ... ... then a general understanding of the next. The graphics card has a separate fixed latch for secondary fixation, so there is no need to worry about the problem of falling off due to gravity in the standing mode.

This is a CPU-specific turbo fan, similar to the fan used in notebooks. The advantages are silent, stable speed, and stable air flow.

The cooling fan can see the bottom of the cooling copper tube, the use of two copper tubes designed to increase the cooling area, the current mainstream gaming notebooks are more than two. The problem here is that since it is a customs clearance, it is not a common yellow-brown metallic copper but a black spray coating on the surface. Why is this design adopted? May be in line with the internal black style. The part of the CPU will not be dismantled and there will be no silicone. Seeing the problem here, where are the SSDs and mechanical hard disks? Not under the graphics card, because there is no part of the cable, then it is under the motherboard, then the problem is coming. To replace the hard disk, you need to remove the motherboard, but the operation is very troublesome.

Below to understand its hardware performance, the first consideration is naturally whether you can play with HTC VIVE or Oculus to play VR games. For performance verification on the software, there is a VR MARK and a free SteamVR Performance Test available. Here is the VR MARK, divided into three parts,

One, Orange Room benchmark test

VRMark OrangeRoom (orange room) benchmarks on PCs that meet HTC Vive and Oculus Rift recommended hardware specifications provide excellent levels of detail. If you can pass, you can run these two popular VR systems. Sea King 3's running points can reach 7191, which is much higher than the 5,000 points required by VR-ready PC. This one is passed.

Second, Blue Room benchmark test

The VRMark Blue Room benchmark is a test that requires high hardware performance for more powerful hardware. Because there are more objects in the scene, the level of detail is higher and the level can be compared to future VR games. The PC passes this test to indicate that it is possible to use the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift with the highest settings and run the latest VR games. Sea Point 3's run points can reach 1,237, slightly higher than the 1082 points required to support VR game computers, so this one is passed.

Third, Cyan Room benchmark test

This is a new feature added on November 22, 2017. It is a VR test tool based on DirectX 12. It is used to verify whether it can provide users with better immersive experience in higher-detailed screens. The number of running points of the Sea King 3 can reach 3,843, which is higher than the 3088 points required to support VR game computers. Therefore, this item is also passed.

All three items are adopted. Naturally, it can meet the needs of using HTC VIVE or OCULUS RIFT. Of course, it is also the reason why VR ready is put on the packaging, because this is the biggest selling point of the product. For the overall score, Time Spy under 3DMARK can reach 4193, which makes sense when compared.

Originally wanted to use PCMARK 10 to run to see, the result was hard to download for 11 hours or so, the result is always automatically stopped midway, suggesting that the operation failed, slightly troubled.

Having met the needs of using VR virtual reality helmets, after briefly talking about the CPU, GPU and motherboard parts, after all, enough preparations have been made before the selection.

For this 7th generation Core i7 7700, the name changed to Kaby Lake and the process is still 14nm. However, in terms of performance, its overclocking value is high, and there is also a bright spot, that is, the VR-related slogan “For a Great VR Experience” printed on the packaging is also intended to take advantage of VR to occupy the market. The Level 3 cache of the Core i7-7700K reached 8 Mbytes. The difference with the Core i7-6700K is that the frequency has improved. The built-in support is up to DDR4-2400. The built-in display core is also upgraded from the HD530 to the HD630. As a traditional PC maker, Sea King 3 naturally uses its own motherboard, and the BIOS is AMI. It is not known whether there is a new version of the BIOS that can be upgraded.

For the part of the GPU, the GTX1060 6GB does not have a smaller interface, and it can be inserted and used directly with the standard interface on a conventional motherboard, but it does not support NVIDIA SLI. The memory type of the GTX1060 6GB graphics card is Samsung's GDDR5, which is relatively stable in terms of performance, and the chance of appearing in Huaping will be smaller. The memory size is 6144MB, the default GPU clock is 1544MHz, the memory size is 2002MHz, and Boost is 1759MHz.

For the part of the CPU and GPU performance tests, AIDA64 is used here, and the comparison is more meaningful. As can be seen from the figure below, the CPU during the verification process can indeed reach 4200 MHz.

For the 3D MARK11's performance testing part, I don't know why the score does not appear. It may be the victim of piracy. This doesn't matter. After all, I look at the details. The following results are from the default mode. The score of the graphics card is 8800. It looks a bit low. After all, there are no tens of thousands, but it is better than the castrated 3G version of 1060 (commonly 5000 points). The physical score (CPU) is 11025.

Similarly the following two old software, look like it, the result of running to run, after all, is ready-made software on the hard disk. Fritz Chess Benchmark Chess test is the CPU's integer arithmetic performance, good for multi-core optimization, insensitive to floating point, can be part of the CPU power, but can not determine a CPU's comprehensive ability, suitable for game performance and multi-threading Performance reference. Chess scores are generally better at multi-threaded applications such as transcode rendering.

CINEBENCH R10 is also a common benchmark software. It is common in system performance testing. It uses the Cinema 4D special effects software engine to perform performance testing on CPUs, graphics cards, and OpenGL. The single core and multiple core tests are calculated separately. of. Commonly used tests are mainly used to consider the processor's single-core capabilities and multi-core processing capabilities. The score is generally higher and better. I7-7700 single-core gain 8628, multi-core received 34,319, and OpenGL standard mode reached 14408.

In the inspection of pressure performance, the CPU was mainly verified. From the point of view of 51 minutes of running, the CPU was overheated and the automatic down-clocking prompt (CPU startup over-temperature and down-frequency protection function) was activated for approximately 30 minutes. A crash or a black screen appears to be more stable.

Mentioned the stability, mentioned earlier WIN10 HOME this version, the first problem encountered is 1060 graphics driver problem, the system has also been updated to the latest, but whether it is the official website driver, or use to drive the wizard to install, It will not be able to update the driver normally. At the same time, there will be a big problem that will cause the original driver to be damaged and the video card cannot be recognized by the system.

The following figure is the situation that caused the video card to become an exclamation mark, the manual update driver is invalid, and the automatic network update is also invalid.

Currently there is no good solution, most people can only reinstall WIN10 Professional or Enterprise Edition to solve the problem. But to remind some people here, try to update and install new drivers. If you do not want to install the reinstallation system, the following method is for your reference. Here is the use of the game runtime detection tool, come in will find NVIDIA PhyX is not installed, manually download and install, after the broken network into the upper device manager, manually update it.

The following picture shows the GTX1060 that appears to be missing. It seems to be simple, but it takes 3 or 4 hours. If you directly install the system, it will definitely be faster. It is estimated that you can get it in 20 minutes. So all right, don't update OCD like yourself. Use your current driver first.

The main unit's own light is softer and the brightness is not too high. Even under a dark environment, it is not too harsh. The default setting of the light will automatically change color.

For the handles used, the Stratus XL Bluetooth Gaming Handset from Steel Race has been custom-made for the fruit powder and is the iOS version. This is compatible with the Android and Windows platforms and does not provide a 2.4GHz receiver. Wired mode is not supported. Simply make a comment, after all, is a game controller that costs more than 400 yuan.

1. Ergonomic design, good fit with the palm, effectively reduce fatigue, good feeling of matte spray

2 can be pressed rocker, support flying mouse function, lighter buttons, moderate feedback force

3. Corresponding PC-side driver software for key adjustment and firmware upgrade

4. Support Android platform and Windows platform, compatible with Steam games

5. The rebind button is not allowed in the Engine software. Only the sensitivity of the joystick and trigger keys can be modified or customized. However, you can remap the buttons in the relevant settings of the game or App.

6. Does not support vibration function

In addition, if you want to use the VGA interface display and other output devices, you can buy DP adapter or HDMI adapter, the general price is also in the tens of dollars.

This first come here, the next one to play machine experience article. Generally, a backpack that can hold a 14-inch notebook can easily be installed with the Sea King 3 without additional purchase of a computer bag.

SVG Reactive Power Compensation Module

SVG reactive power compensation module is equivalent to a variable reactive current source. Its reactive current can be flexibly controlled to automatically compensate the reactive power required by the system. On the one hand, it effectively solves the problem of harmonic reactive power interference parallel capacitor switching compensation, on the other hand, it can suppress or manage harmonics according to the actual requirements of users.
