The two days Xiao Bian push about the installation of the topic, there are small partners in the comments asked Xiao Bian CPU and motherboard combination, which can not help but think of the installation of the more easily mistakes, just take advantage of today's push to sum up and see Does everyone have such a problem? Of course, if you have similar experience, you can share it with everyone, comment area, etc.

CPU only sees the number of cores

The CPU has evolved from the original single-core to dual-core, and now to the multi-core, as if the number of cores reflects the performance of the CPU. The large number of CPU cores represents a powerful parallel processing capability. For example, when you play games and record live broadcasts, you can realize the advantages of multi-core CPUs.

However, single-core performance tends to determine the most fundamental operating speed of some applications, such as the game itself, how CPU core performance is more important than how many cores. This is why the same high-end product, Ryzen 7 1700 (8 core 16 threads) under some games than Core i7 7700 (4 core 8 threads) reasons.

The price only fight CPU ignores the motherboard

Under similar performance, the price of matching motherboards is often overlooked as a mistake that many small partners can easily make when they are installed. At last, we can see that budget overruns, but we can't think of where we are right.

For example, the motherboard version size. Big is not necessarily bad, but it is not necessarily the best. Currently splitting two extremes, microATX specifications are generally cost-effective products, while ultra-small ITX motherboards and ATX boards (especially game-type) are more expensive.

Game boards, cost-effective motherboards, ultra-low-cost motherboards, the price gap between these can reach several hundred. For example, the X370 chipset motherboard that is also supported by Ryzen processor can be purchased for less than 900 yuan. The price of the high-end gaming motherboard of the same chip set can reach 5,000 yuan!

There is another thing to pay special attention to, do not mistakenly take the combination of the motherboard CPU, especially the current 8 generation Core Duo, although the interface is the same with the 7th generation Core Duo, but the former can only use the 300 series motherboard, 100/200 series motherboard can not be used .

In general, the performance of the old CPU high-end products and the new high-end products are relatively close. But do not expect the new entry-level to be able to get rid of the high-end of the previous generation, even if it is as strong as the 8th generation Core Duo, compared to 7 generations of Core Duo CPU, it is only a misplaced level.

Therefore, on the basis of measuring their own needs, combined with their own budget, with a moderately priced CPU motherboard combination is the most important. For example, 7 generation Core i5/7+200 series chipset motherboards, or Ryzen3+B350 chipset motherboards, etc., are all good choices.

In the end, Xiao Bian also said that the combination of CPU+ motherboards should not exceed 1/2 of the total budget for the entire installation. The most ideal state is about 2/5 of the budget, so that more money can be spent on Graphics cards, storage, and other aspects are used to expand functionality rather than pursuing simple CPU processing performance, which ultimately makes the computer "top-heavy."
