The price/performance ratio is soaring! Core i7 11700K high-end all-round configuration recommended

Webmaster's comment: Recently, the webmaster found that the 11th-generation Core products have begun to appear in the market in large numbers. The cost performance of many products is not bad, and the competitiveness has been significantly improved. In this issue, the webmaster first recommends a set of high-end all-round configuration based on Core i7 11700K for your reference during summer installation.

Core i7 11700K scatter is good value for money

The Core i7 11700K is the flagship model of the 11th-generation Core i7. The product uses a 14nm process and has 8 cores and 16 threads. The base frequency is 3.6GHz, the maximum acceleration frequency is 5.0GHz, and the default memory frequency is DDR4 3200. When this processor was just listed, its price actually rose from 2949 yuan to 3299 yuan, almost equivalent to the Ryzen 7 5800X. Such a high price will undoubtedly greatly weaken the competitiveness of the Core i7 11700K.

However, after the Core i7 11700K chip was released, the webmaster was pleasantly surprised to find that the price was less than 2,200 yuan. At the same time, the price of the Core i7 11700KF without a core graphics card was only 10 yuan cheaper. The i7 11700K is more of a purchase value.

Although the Core i7 11700K does not lock multipliers and supports overclocking, the webmaster does not recommend that you do this. Personally, you can use it at the default frequency. Because the core i7 11700K's own maximum turbo frequency of 5.0GHz is not too low, the performance improvement after overclocking is limited, and the power consumption of the CPU will be greatly increased, players have to match it with a better motherboard, heat dissipation , which seems to be a bit of a loss.

Not tossing the B560 is enough

Seeing that the webmaster uses the B560 to match the Core i7 11700K, is he worried that the power supply of the motherboard is not enough? If you don't toss overclocking, in fact, the high-end version of the B560 is basically enough.

For example, ASUS TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS WIFI heavy gunner adopts 8+1 Dr.MOS integrated high-efficiency solution in the power supply part, and DIGI+ VRM digital power supply control technology ensures smooth, pure and efficient power output. The integrated MOSFET integrates high-frequency and low-frequency MOSFET transistors and control chips into a single package, with extremely low internal resistance, small size, high efficiency, and good heat dissipation, plus military-certified TUF inductors and TUF capacitors , can improve temperature tolerance, improve system stability and extend service life, fully meet the daily needs of Core i7 11700K.

At the same time, in order to cope with the heat of the power supply part, ASUS TUF GAMING B560M-PLUS WIFI heavy gunner not only sets up a huge and high-quality heat sink covering the entire VRM and inductance area, but also the thermal conductive patch also improves the coverage and extends to the inductance area, which helps It is used to improve the efficiency of heat transfer from the power supply area to the heat sink and accelerate the cooling. The design of the 6-layer PCB board helps to dissipate the heat of key components and provide more overclocking space for the CPU. These designs can effectively reduce the temperature performance of the VRM area.

In addition, this motherboard joins ASUS OptiMem II memory optimization technology, which has good support for high-frequency memory. Equipped with PCIe 4.0×4 M.2 SSD slot, Thunderbolt 4 pins, Realtek 2.5 Gb wired network card and Intel WiFi 6 wireless network card, etc., the expansion performance is also excellent.

The hashrate version RTX 3070 is worth considering

The launch of the hashrate-locked RTX 30 has played a significant role in stabilizing the price of graphics cards. Taking several popular products on the market as an example, the RTX 3060 hashrate version has dropped to a price near 4,000 yuan, and the RTX 3060Ti hashrate version can also be purchased at a price close to 5,000 yuan, while many models The RTX 3070 hashrate version has also dropped to a price of just over 5,000 yuan. Although this price still has an obvious premium, it is still a lot lower than the crazy graphics card price in May. From the model, it can be seen that ASUS RTX3070-O8G-V2-GAMING is a hash-locked version. Currently, there are merchants on e-commerce quoting 5399 yuan, which is not much more expensive than RTX 3060Ti, so the webmaster feels that the purchase value of this product is not low. .
