DIY hot discussion of N "installed" rumors

DIY hot discussion of N "installed" rumors

32-bit Windows 7 with 4GB just fine?

As a high-intellectual living organism, people transmit information without barriers. But groups that do not have the foundation of scientific literacy always communicate good and bad, true and false information to each other. When there are more fake passes, they become true. For example, the well-known rumors of "a child watching textbooks that can see the Great Wall on the moon" are forced to use real education.

As far as the DIY field is concerned, rumors are more easily disseminated under various new media such as community, public relations, media and mobile phone reading. At the same time, the more you pass, the confusion of the white, but also to DIY players to identify the authenticity of a lot of difficulty. Today, we have collected some of the typical DIY rumors to see if you've ever made it.

This is not science! There are N "installed" rumors of DIY

Rumor 1: A 4GB memory is best for windows 7 32bit

Students who have studied the "University Computer Foundation" course know that 32-bit systems can support up to 4GB of memory addressing. In addition, the 32-bit system itself has a smaller memory footprint than the 64-bit one. Therefore, as of today, there are still many “brothers” who have 4GB of memory for the “sister” and “sister”. It is highly recommended that 32-bit Windows 7 be installed because of them. I think this is "just good."

4GB 32-bit system actually only 3GB available

In fact, the 32-bit system can identify and effectively use the memory, only 3.0 to 3.75G range, in general can identify 3.25G. The 32-bit Windows 7 system does not fully recognize 4GB, which means that some memory space is wasted. In the beginning, I wanted to save 32-bit memory and improve compatibility. In the end, I could only get a loss.

Although there is a lot of black technology on the Internet to teach you to use more than 4GB of memory in 32-bit. But these so-called methods all have various drawbacks, such as the blue screen, if you can't run 3D games, is this sacrifice a little bit of experience change? Not worth it.

Now that the CPU has entered 64-bit, the current software development has already focused on 64-bit. Today's large-scale games such as Crysis 4 have already adopted the 64-bit system as a necessary condition for running. Therefore, do not urgently need to keep old for various reasons, it can only represent the level of your computer has not yet reached the level of mainstream understanding.

Rumor 2: Overclocking can cause hardware instability

Eat, sleep, overclock

Our family members 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 谆谆 不要 ​​不要 不要 不要 不要 不要 不要 不要 不要 不要 我们 我们 我们 我们 我们 我们 我们 我们 。 。 。 That's right, this is correct, especially IT people. As a result, many people have brought this concept to the hardware. The preconception brings up a point of view: overclocking is equal to the overloaded operation of the hardware, which easily leads to hardware instability.

Both CPU and GPU have launched official overclocking measures

Is this true? We do not explore the issue of overclocking. Looking at whether it is a CPU or a GPU, manufacturers have already adopted the concept of "overclocking" until the factory stage. Whether it is the "Coreband" of the CPU or the "Ultra-public card" of the GPU, the factory setting exceeds the default frequency specification. Become a necessary way to enhance product competitiveness.

Officials are advocating how well the products are overclocked, so don’t limit them to overclocking

From this point it can be seen that overclocking cannot be regarded as a "dangerous game" in a general way, and even become official. Like Intel's K suffix CPU and Pentium's 20th anniversary CPU, graphics card manufacturers provide overclocking BIOS and Super Edition cooling and power supply, not overclocking, it seems sorry for the potential of the product ah. Only when the pressure is self-pressurized, unqualified power supply, main board, etc. are used, will it be harmful to overclocked parts.

Whether it is official overclocking or personal overclocking, as long as there is no change in the electrical ceiling of the product, as long as the platform has enough output power, overclocking is safe. And, in order to change the situation in which young people are not exposed to overclocking, manufacturers simply automate and officialize overclocking. Therefore, overclocking is not a toss of the minority.

Rumor 3: The chassis must choose large heat dissipation

In this era of more and more mini-pursuits, the chassis has also incorporated this trend. More and more peripheral manufacturers tend to introduce mini-chassis to meet the current demand for aesthetic and space. But for gamers, this is tangled up: I want to play a cool game, but I don't want to be disturbed by the heat, I want to buy a good chassis. The Internet says big chassis space, heat dissipation is better than a small chassis, but the small chassis is beautiful and does not take up space......

This disorderly alignment will afflict your mood and even further the cooling effect.

In fact, how the internal cooling effect of the chassis, the most important thing is to see the wind, wiring. Of course, the internal space has some influence on heat dissipation, but this is not the point. If the internal wiring of your chassis is messy, there are no back lines, no active heat sinks, no convection air ducts, and then the large chassis will only have heat to continuously accumulate internal hard-to-discharge consequences. The cooling effect can be imagined.

Regardless of the size of the chassis, the formation of the air duct is still king

Therefore, whether it is a large chassis or a small chassis, for the efficient cooling of your gaming platform, the establishment of a convection air duct is king. So, try to choose those chassis with built-in cooling fans. Or, if you are sensitive to heat, simply select the low-heat parts directly. Of course, such selection conditions may also cause the cost to increase slightly.

In the simple years of pursuit of performance only a decade ago, today's DIY, low-power, high-performance and high-performance are the mainstream ideas for development. Therefore, we do not need to worry about the size of the chassis for heat dissipation. Instead, it is the trade-off between the volume of accessories and the capacity of the chassis. Place where the small platform plays games to be tangled.

Rumor 4: The longer the graphics card, the stronger the performance

If this rumor is true, then HD2900XTX has long been a graphics card overlord

People's attention to DIY is more because DIY hardware can bring a better gaming experience than mobile digital and home consoles. GTA5 is an example. Therefore, the purchase of the graphics card is a problem for Xiao Bai. In order to make a rush, many Xiao Bai have chosen such a viewpoint: the longer the performance of the graphics card, the stronger the performance.

For DIY players, this is definitely a metaphysical mistake. For a simple example, GTX970 designed by “NIC” is compared with GTX960, which is a three-fan luxury heat dissipation system of a certain brand, and it is very clear at a glance. But performance is exactly two positioning.

The length of the video card can indeed be used as a reference for positioning, but it is not a reference to performance. This is just a reference. Non-public graphics dominate the current graphics market, leaving this so-called reference to length measurement performance worthless. In addition to the current super-public version of the graphics card, in order to create high-end gimmicks, the heat sink is often designed to be much longer than the PCB, which makes the length theory more pale, so the length of the graphics card is just a simple indicator of the appearance of a graphics card.

The theory of the length of the graphics card to measure the performance of the graphics card can be shelved. If you are white, more concerned about PConline DIY channel graphics evaluation, is a good place for you to identify the performance of the graphics card.

Rumor 5: The new graphics card must be better than the old video card

The replacement of new cards is relatively frequent, but will the new card be good?

The release of the next-generation graphics architecture is an exciting experience that we can attract from running points, appearance, and technology. At the same time, the manufacturers are also releasing new graphics product lines with new generations of the same architecture, and using various rhetoric to attract the attention of DIY players. Let players think that the new video card must be better than the old video card.

In fact, we really think this is the case, then the graphics card manufacturers in the set. Touching the graphics card market knows that the graphics card market is rampant now, and you will step on mines without paying any attention. Such as a card three vest NVIDIA GT740 series, the new bottle of old wine AMD R5 series. So, when you face the mainstream of some new product lines to low-end graphics cards, you have to raise your spirits.

Low-end graphics cards have been mixed up, performance is not much better than the nuclear show, so the market share is small, R & D investment naturally do not want so much, but to maintain the entire product line replacement, had adopted a vest strategy. As time goes by, to the next generation, inventory is further aggravated and the strategy of using vests continues to be used. Is it better to use new graphics cards than graphics cards?

The performance comparison of the R9 285 and R9 280X further confirms the importance of benchmarking rather than just looking at new cards.

There is a certain reason for the existence of vests, such as the HD 7970's follow-up vest is to change face to lower prices to show everyone, this is positive, but also the negative phenomenon of the proliferation of low-end video card vest above. Therefore, we only pay attention to the dessert-level products in the current graphics card market, and distinguish it from the market's excellent graphics card product line. These conscience products are only suitable for the purchase of specific consumer price players.

Rumors 6: It is used alone for games, but it can only be used for office verification.

This is a rumor that has spread widely and has a deep impact. Now many of the DIY installed friends are holding this idea. Because they always think about the premise, a video card, a price, naturally in exchange for a higher performance. As for the nuclear display, built in the CPU, can not see the touch, it is estimated that only an attached role has no use it ... ...

The emergence of APU so that the low-end graphics card out of the market

It is time to change this concept. The current low-end 3D graphics card market alone is half-lived and the nuclear is booming. It is because the APU and Intel Core Significantly began to replace the entry-level and low-end standalone displays beginning in 2011, and the low-end platform can also enjoy balanced performance. In the past, integrated platforms = low 3D performance became history.

This is a strong testimony of the reason why it can defeat the low-end graphics card.

A simple example, the current iris core display and A10 APU 3D performance can already replace the 599 yuan independent graphics card. This kind of integration platform is no exaggeration to say that there is no pressure on major online games such as LOL and WOW. It is suitable for home users and college students who have limited budgets. Conversely, AMD and NVIDIA's insignificance at the low end has apparently brought white flags to today's converged CPUs.

It is not possible to play the game alone. It depends on the positioning of the video card in your hand. If you really want to play cool today's big game, there is no one thousand yuan or more graphics card is not enough. At the same time, it is not a matter of verifying that it can only be used for office work. With the fusion of the GPU that has made the entry into the game, it is still stress-free to play mainstream games. This direction of differentiation provides multiple choices for consumers at all levels.

Rumor 7: Buy SSD Only MLC

TLC flash, everyone avoid it. Both the previous year's iPhone 6 large-capacity version of the TLC flash storm, but also for a long time TLC and other unstable and short-lived concept. This has caused the general public to only recognize MLC flash memory when purchasing SSDs.

It is not without reason that TLC is disrespectful

First of all, under popular science, as long as you use SSDs normally, you must have a dead day. The current three kinds of SSD flash memory have different life spans. The SLC is a single-level cell, which has an erase life of about 100,000 times. The MLC, Multi-Level Cell, has a lifetime of about 3000 to 10,000 flashes, and the TLC = Trinary-Level Cell has about 500 to 1,000 flash lifetimes. In contrast, it is no wonder that people are so disgusted with the TLC.

However, why TLC, which is known to have a long lifespan and performance, has been popularized by Samsung, Plextor and other SSD bowls in recent years? The high cost of SSDs is mainly due to the high price of internal flash memory particles. With the improvement of the process, it is a general trend to make larger-capacity particles at the same physical size and then reduce costs.

The low cost of TLC is conducive to the popularity of SSD and has been widely concerned by SSD manufacturers.

Why do most users still hesitate to purchase SSDs? What durability, longevity, performance, and data security are actually secondary? There is no exaggeration to say that the biggest reason is the price factor, because SSD prices are much higher than mechanical disks. More expensive. When it comes to this, the advantages of TLC flash memory begin to emerge: The price of SSDs using TLC flash memory will be very civilian, and they may not be as affordable as the masses can accept in the future.

Although TLC has a low life expectancy by default, it is acceptable for the majority of users considering the escalation habits of people.

Of course, TLC durability and performance are a big problem. However, in recent years, the introduction of technologies to improve the durability of TLC flash memory chips, such as signal processing and stronger ECC algorithms, is expected to extend the life of SSDs. Samsung 840 also reduced the capacity of the spare area by 256G to 250G, increasing the reserved space to ensure the life of the SSD.

Current consumer SSDs are also commonly used MLC particles, but with the follow-up of Samsung, Plextor and other first-tier SSD manufacturers, plus some products for improving the durability of TLC flash memory-related products (signal processing, stronger ECC Algorithms, etc.) and the attractiveness of TLC flash memory particles in terms of price. The MLC will not be the only SSD in the future.

Rumor 8: The higher the power rating, the more power it consumes.

After years of brainwashing education, I believe that entry DIY players all know the distinction between rated power and maximum power to avoid being fooled. However, there is another rumors that novices have a wrong understanding. The higher the power rating, the more power it consumes. If you do not explain, you can first respond to this question is true or false proposition?

Many friends think that the higher the rated power, the higher the output power of the power supply, so the more power it consumes. In fact, there is absolutely no need to worry about this. The power consumption of the PC is determined entirely by the power consumption required by the hardware operating state. The PC power supply is only an "energy pool." The larger the wattage, the more power the load can have.

High-power power supplies often do a better job at quality control

And for power products, due to the longer replacement time, it has a very high value preservation. Positioning a higher power supply often makes great efforts in terms of authentication, quality, etc. Therefore, if your home has a stable power supply, you can generally use it for many years to save you the trouble of upgrading.

How much electricity the PC consumes before it receives more electricity, so don't worry about the false proposition of high-power power

How much power the PC consumes, how much electricity is charged, and the power supply only plays a role in conversion. Although not the more power, the more power it consumes, but users do not need to configure the power products with excessive power indefinitely. This requires a certain balance and should not be excessive.

to sum up

Forums, Post Bars, Weibo Wechat, and social networking make our understanding of things more convenient, but this kind of socialization is not tied and often becomes a gathering place for rumors. Because we have a very different understanding of science literacy, it is very easy to be affected by similar “circle of friends”.

Although there are not many rumours in the computer field because of its youthfulness and theorization, it is easy to cause rumors because of people-oriented reasons. Therefore, while we are accepting hardware knowledge, we need to combine the various aspects of the media and social networking to identify authenticity, better serve our own consumption, and achieve the goal of enjoying cost-effective IT products.
