Tiger45G talks about the digital story 41: combat Ruilong overclocking MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON use settings

AMD Ruilong platform caused by the installation of a surge in the spread of a very wide, ah, a variety of late friends are considering directly for Ruilong, and recently just help install a micro-X370 GAMING PRO CARBON + R7 1700X + owl D15 combination, installed in the Incidentally, the evaluation of the MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON this Ruilong platform's motherboard (online information is a bit less), by the way the actual over-under 4G experience.

Exterior

MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON positioning should belong to the top-level motherboard, the price between 1K-2K, slightly more expensive than their own X370 KRAIT GAMING (the actual transaction price is actually a lot lower than JD price), but also increased the point Features and settings. The same Intel platform also has a corresponding model of the Z270. The design of the above two is almost the same.

MSI X370 GAMING PRO CARBON motherboard (AMD X370/Socket AM4) 1899 yuan Positioning mainstream X370 Gaming Pro Carbon is a game speed series, the main cost-effective, using carbon fiber elements, with 10 phase power supply, the use of materials in line with military regulations V Level, with BOOST DDR4 memory, one-click BOOST game acceleration and fourth-generation AUDIOBOOST 4 "Tone King technology", also in the tail I / O shroud, South Bridge heat sink, side and audio parts with "mysterious Jingdong direct link view Wikipedia

This generation of packaging style is actually to reflect the "RGB" lighting elements

After all, CARBON, so the motherboard design compared to the KRAIT series, many low-key, the main appearance of matte black with silver-based. In order to respond to CARBON's main body, the lines on the heat sink are already CARBON lines.

Standard ATX Large Format


The power supply part has a slight increase compared to KRAIT and becomes a 11-phase digital power supply. IO also has CARBON thermal armor.


In the traditional data area, the PCIe slot still has a metal vest bonus. Not enough for me to be surprised is actually there are actually two M.2 SSD ports, to know that the general X300 market is a single M.2 SSD slot, and even the high-end flagship. In addition, there is still a heat sink with a M.2 SSD this is good, but unfortunately only one, if two pieces just fine, after all, a lot of high-end players will also set RAID.


The memory section is also metal armor

SATA port and thoughtfully designed 90° USB3.0 plug-in slot.

The extension cable that comes with the glare system, but I think it is best to have a light strip, or to estimate that few players will find their own lamp strips.


The IO part is mainly two USB 3.1 ports, namely, Type-A and Type-C ports (think of my 3.1 USB drive lost in a taxi.)

Cat's latest D15 SE, also considered the current top-level air-cooled, even if it counts one-piece water-cooled, it is non-modified radiator inside the TOP.

The D15's large heat dissipation volume and high heat capacity setting also happens to deal with the heat of the R7 1700X multi-core.

Of course, please pay attention to buy AM4 version, although there are many AM4 motherboard itself supports AM3 radiator openings.

Two A15 fans are standard, but only one is actually used because the actual heat control of the R7 1700X is also available.

Although many companies in the market advertise themselves as "ingenious", but players generally believe that the most ingenious cats only think they are only "paranoid", this paranoid has won a lot of reputation for the cat's reputation.


D15 is currently the biggest drawback may be the height, even if it is ATX tower chassis, many chassis advertised compatibility is still able to get under D15 and no less than D15.


The "glare system" is on the IO armor of the motherboard. The audio area and the bottom of the motherboard have corresponding LED lights. Various modes and colors can be set. If other external accessories also support the glare system ( For example, Sai Ruijia) can work together with air lighting effects. Personally feel that this game is more suitable for MOD players, or high-end custom host.


MSI this glare system is still relatively simple to customize, and a variety of tricks

Overclocking

A brief description of this board with the Ruilong 1700X several overclocking ideas it, interested newcomers can understand, the old bird can naturally ignore.

1, a key overclocking available? MSI this board also supports "GAME BOOST" a key overclocking, the default is relatively simple and crude, open automatically after +0.5G, that is, from the original 3.4 into 3.9G, but the voltage has also become 1.45V, relatively high. If a novice wants to use it, it's best to try and feel the CPU overclocking. This frequency is stable. Start down manually to a stable voltage, reduce power consumption, and avoid high voltage electron migration.


2, Ruilong platform is used now, overclocking is simple and simple (that is, frequency, voltage, optimized memory behind), said complex and complex (mainly memory optimization is too much trouble, and often overclocking program instability to run in optimization )

Take this example in my hand, the BIOS actually does not have many settings. The frequency is directly set to 3.9G, the CPU voltage is 1.35V, the memory voltage is auto, the memory frequency is 2666, and the CPU is turned off in 4th gear; The target is certainly the CPU 4G with a memory frequency of 3000. However, there is no way to try it out. It is probably the current setting for a night of running-in. After that, the voltage and memory timing may be optimized.


3, how to more efficient overclocking? At first try not to CPU together with memory super, personal advice memory first set the lowest frequency first, and then alone over CPU, find out the CPU constitution set their own CPU want to overclock the target and then over-memory; such as my hand this set In the end, it was clear that U constitution is the highest stability to 3.9G, so after the CPU is set to 3.9G, it is only based on its ultra-memory.

4, do not intend to overclock the CPU, then there is no need to set? Or buy high frequency memory? It is still necessary, especially for the 3000+ memory, relative to the 2133 frequency, there is still a certain optimization above rendering time, so even if you do not exceed U, you can also consider stabilizing the memory at 3000 frequencies.

5, Ruilong platform must be super to 4G? I used to be obsessive-compulsive disorder, to see other people's excellent physical ability can be super frequency, the hand even if the voltage is added to the smoke level also want to, but the actual application of the above personal say Really not really necessary, for example, with the Ruilong, there are tests over the super-net, the power consumption after the voltage exceeds 1.3xv, 1.4v is very considerable, and it is to raise so much voltage for that 0.1G, really you It's better to get a stable frequency (such as 3.7-3.9) in a relatively low pressure range (such as, for example, the Dragon platform, or not more than 1.4V), and the obtained stability will be stronger than you would toss.

Main board lighting system

As I said earlier, my machine is probably stable at 3.9G, memory 2666MHz 8GX2, XFX XFX RX580 Crimson, XFXXTR550, SSD Intel 600P, OS Windows 10. The following test scores are also above the above set of machines and settings.

The first is R11.5, U of 3.9G also reached 18.71pts


More realistic than the R11.5 Benchmark : Corona Renderer rendering scene, the time spent rendering the entire scene took 2 minutes and 16 seconds, a lot faster than the default frequency.

The indoor temperature is about 26°. Without the air conditioner turned on, the overclocking of the CPU of the pager is not more than 53° under the single fan mute setting of the D15 SE. The D15 skill is evident.

to sum up

The general physique of the Ruilong platform is probably around 4G. Currently, the normal market may generally be a super 3.7-3.9G. If players want to toss 4G or 4G+, they need to spend their thoughts. If ordinary people use it, personal advice is still Play the optimized voltage and then the small super can, the machine is intended to be used for productivity, and people who don’t want to overprovision should not exceed U and then set the memory frequency.
