Hardware For Custom Gaming Computers ? Guide By Centaurus Computers
If you want a new computer game, personalized shopping, you get a variety of options to choose from, almost every custom PC Web site offers a variety of updates, but little or no explanation. In this first part of the game Custom PC Guide for more information on learning motherboards, processors, CPU and memory cooling. The next section gives an overview on video cards, cases, cooling, power, and many mehr.Wenn you choose the computer with a cheaper CPU, it is very likely come with the motherboard on a budget are processors , expensive motherboards paired. That is the goal of balance between the CPU and MB is – you do not need SLI or Crossfire with AMD’s why your good money on him? All motherboards are different from the CPU socket type they support, memory configuration and additional features such as the number of USB ports, integrated graphics (video), SLI or CrossFire motherboard Unterstützung.AMD mothers: AMD 740G based standard MicroATX usually limited number of characteristics – Phenom II support, 4-8 USB ports, one PCI-e, 100 Mbps Ethernet, 2-4 memory slots (RAM 4-8 Gb) basic sound system with 5ch support. Good for basic computing, integrated video (ATI Radeon 2100) is low and people with disabilities, primarily for discrete graphics cards. AMD 760g – almost the same as 740G, but with better support processor, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 8.6, Integrated Video – ATI HD 3000 can, HDMI, 8CH sound system. AMD 770 – the most popular board because of low prices and other features include possible. No videos on board, but Crossfire support available to support all AMD CPUs, four memory slots – up to 16 GB of RAM, 8-12 USB and FireWire. HD sound with optical and / or coaxial SPDIF. Full board size with the support of DDR3. AMD 785G – later in the councils integrated GPU, ATI Radeon 4200 chipset on board, including all kinds of functions – eSATA, up to 16 GB of RAM, available Crossfire, 6-8 USB ports, support DDR3 and HD Sound HDMI SPDIF output. AMD 790X – almost the same as AMD 770, but with DDR3 and Crossfire as standard, USB and SATA 0 and the third-III are available. The most advanced motherboards with more features and better performance in games and heavy-Anwendungen.Intel motherboards support Intel G41 MicroATX board simple rule with limited functionality – Core 2 Duo / Quad, four – 8 USB ports, Single PCI-E, 100 Mbps Ethernet, 2 memory slots (4-8 GB RAM), a database system with support 5ch. Good for basic computing, video, integrated Intel GPU is pointless and disabled persons in the rule for the discrete graphics card. Intel P43/45 – very well designed board Ethernet with many modern features, up to 16 GB of DDR3 RAM possible, only PCI-e, 775 full support CPU, 6-10 USB, gigabit, fast and efficient Northbridge overclocking. Intel Board H55-large for LGA1156 processors with many features. An integrated video card Intel Core i3/i5 with HDCP support, Intel i3/i5 supports four memory slots – up to 16 GB of RAM, 8-12 FireWire and USB ports. HD sound with optical and / or coaxial SPDIF, HDMI and onboard DDR3. Intel P55 – it is an analog of H55 without video connections, but full i5/i7 LGA1156 support Crossfire available, great picture, DDR3, eSATA, SPDIF optical. Intel X58 – the last Intel board with all kinds of features as well as SLI and Crossfire support, 3-channel DDR3 memory, many SATA and USB ports, Intel LGA1366 i7 CPU support expected for additions LGA1366 future online – very good investment in the future Technik.Intel i7processors ® ™ Core offer incredible breakthrough in PC performance. They are the best desktop processors on the planet. Frees you incredible multi-tasking applications more quickly and create digital media. And thank you to experience maximum performance for everything you do, the combination of Intel ® Turbo ² Intel ® Boost and Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel ® HT Technology), which optimizes match your workload. Works with X58 boards with all possible features SLI / Crossfire and Triple-Channel Dual Core i7 i5 RAM.Core Performance Match with similar clock speeds and the same functions, but it is a cheaper alternative, because P55 motherboards instead of P55 expensive to be involved. You lose channel RAM from three to two channels for regular, limited Crossfire (16x + 4x PCI-E X58 Dual vs. 16x), and SLI support almost nonexistent. Otherwise the same features as in most cases it is used on a level with i7/X58 combo, but is more or less heavy in multi-thread with a lot of RAM usage, and in games with extreme multiple video cards. Always been a very good option, taking into account a few hundred dollars and less heat from the CPU, the overclocked ist.Core for i3 and i5 large Dual Core Core with integrated video – require motherboards H55, have inexpensive and full of features and options, but generally not Crossfire or SLI and dual channel RAM only. Processor itself is much faster than previous generation dual-core, but loses much on most quad cores in multi-threaded applications and games. With its low prices, they are ideal for Media Center (with integrated graphics and Intel Core HDCP support) and the slots of the budget. I3 and i5 also used a very low heat and can be clocked at extreme levels with the right cooling – it does not seem so bad, then überhaupt.AMD AM3 processors in our computers is very efficient and profitable. You can choose from a variety of dual, triple and quad-core processors for each budget level, and you can be sure that you are to get adequate performance. AMD has been a lot better with the AM3 processors when it comes to features to support and heat production, and standard instructions and optimization. High-end AMD quad-core can be effective or even better than i3 and i5 processors are for a small price. Plus, you always have a selection of motherboards much cheaper than the total price will be considerably reduced. DDR3 memory standard is high on the boards AM3 developed a standard CrossFire 790X and many motherboards 770, although all of them lack of SLI support, but which has been published very recently ATI video card balance. And since ATI is owned by AMD, you can be sure, the high degree of integration achieved through platforms such as Spider or say a merger. It’s a great combination of price and Leistung.CPU Cooler: With a certain amount of luck and determination, it is possible to overclock the processor to a certain extent. Most of the time, you CPU to about 10-30% rate (Centaurus Computers can overclock overclock is guaranteed on all PCs). It also depends heavily on the CPU cooler, that you have chosen, bearing with one another not expect miracles, but with each update will be cool to see a significant increase of MHz. cooler vied heat generated from the load increased after the overclock. Basically, if you want a more powerful processor, you can update, or you can choose to upgrade your CPU cooler and we are at the highest level overclock PLUS you see and hear less noise at low temperature. Example: Intel i7 920 works with Xigmatek Dark Knight, 2 vs. 3 6GHz 66GHz storage – temperature under load 60C.Und most important – levels of temperature. stock cooler will do, but it can be very hot and strong. Aftermarket cooler, temperatures drop significantly and tend to be almost inaudible. The processor heat is the enemy, because it reduces the lifespan and reliability levels strongly beeinflusst.Was with water cooling? Are you prepared your system leak checking every month? You think you can drain and fill the cleaned again, and every year? Most people would say: No, but there are closed circuit water cooler as Corsair Hydro, which makes life easier for everyone. Basically, you should not have to be recharged at any time and there are no leaks in closed-circuit if it is damaged. Corsair and Hydro reached a really good job in cooling – generally within or above the temperature levels most expensive air coolers. This comes at a price, however, we would not recommend it to anyone, but it is optional und.RAM amount depends on what you are doing with your computer. Most of the DDR3 memory is now popular, now he has a perfect combination of price and performance. 4 GB in size the most popular – (or 4096 MB). In fact, Windows XP uses about 256 MB for itself, while Windows 7 is about 1 GB and larger. So you can play with 2 GB of RAM running Windows XP, but you will at least 4GB for Windows 7 really comfortable with Gaming.DDR – Double Data Rate, the number is 2 or 3 for production. DDR2 800 means that the memory runs at 800 MHz and the second gene, which is twice as 400MHz (400×2 = DDR2). If you choose to DDR3-1600 memory that runs at 1600 MHz and is the third generation, it will also mean a lot, while pointing Moreover, given that this memory can carry more load. This is an upgrade for those who give more benötigen.DDR3 speed memory with a higher frequency you an advantage in the game and some applications, but only if you have a good processor and graphics card. Also, remember that each computer must be well balanced. For a computer with 4 GB of RAM ATI 5770 and it is preferable to update ATI 5850, when the piston 8 GB upgrade – that is, if you plan to run games. But a basic rule says that more RAM is better, and 4GB is enough for most users as with 6GB i7 and X58 standard board is becoming more popular – it works erhöht.32bit triple-channel the data bandwidth restrictions – to 32-bit Windows editions, see a limit on the size of your memory card to see if you have 3 GB or more. For example, if 4 GB of RAM on the machine you install 32-bit will probably only until the third or 3GB 5GB. 64-bit Windows has no such restriction. But 64-bit Windows, you can have some problems with the old drivers and applications that are not optimized for 64-bit. Our advice is to choose 64-bit Windows, if you have new hardware and have no intention of anything that is not compatible with it, 32-bit Windows or that you add, if you add devices old or older software, the file system that Windows 32-bit. We will keep this guide equipment in the next issue – you will learn about modern video cards, the demands for food, hard drives and DVD cases and cooling! Centaurus Computers www. CentaurusPC. com
