Message: [QUOTE="windwithme, post: 14202147, member: 87435"] The bottom uses C1100 pure copper nickel plating, the other parts use aluminum fin material, the design technology of Thermalright is quite excellent Overall quality of Archon SB-E X2 is the best one I?ve used, of course the price of which falls on high level market naturally Length, width and height are respectively 150mm X 55mm X 170mm, loaded with 8X 6mm heat pipes to enhance capacity of heat conduction [IMG]http://www.twcarpc.com/photo/wwm/2013/BZ87/BZ8713.jpg[/IMG] Temperature behavior (room temperature is about33?) System standby - 45~50 [IMG]http://www.twcarpc.com/photo/wwm/2013/BZ87/BZ87OT1.png[/IMG] It operates IntelBurn Test to make CPU operate at full speed - 74~89 [IMG]http://www.twcarpc.com/photo/wwm/2013/BZ87/BZ87OT2.png[/IMG] To pass IntelBurn Test, it needs to increase CPU voltage to 1.292V Like Ivy Bridge, the temperature of Haswell framework after overclocking will be higher than that of the last two generations For users of overclocking, it is suggested working with the middle and advanced CPU radiator, so that it is possible to reach stable 4.5GHz It is hoped that temperature can be lower except that Intel pursues progress of manufacturing process in the future BIOSTAR has launched Hi-Fi Z77X since Z77 in the last year, Z87X-3D launches more progressed Puro Hi-Fi 3D Non-Polarized Electrolysis Electric audio capacitors Metal-oxide film resistors carries front sound effect amplifying chip of headphones, which adopts multiple designs of audio grade It is designed with a BIOSTAR Logo metal shied right above the sound effect chip, which will emit red light with power on [IMG]http://www.twcarpc.com/photo/wwm/2013/BZ87/BZ8714.jpg[/IMG] The sound effect is equipped with THX software supporting Creative THX technology Multi-Channels Calibration could provide the function of adjusting multi-channel PC loudspeaker effect. The following Samrt Ear 3D software is a power amplifier software specially designed for headphones Many sound stage modes are also provided for users to select, so it is a practical software capable of keeping sound quality [IMG]http://www.twcarpc.com/photo/wwm/2013/BZ87/BZ87OHF.png[/IMG] Difference of Hi-Fi Z77X and Hi-Fi Z87X-3D has been listened in ComputeX before There is more obvious improvement in sound quality and articulation by using Z87X-3D of Puro Hi-Fi 3D technology In the test, it uses the loudspeaker USHER S-520 of Hi-Fi at entry level, music CD is the international HI-END sound exhibition in Taipei In the song of Pear Flower Fragrance, intermediate frequency vocal and high-pitched sounds are both fairly good Performance of low frequency is also above the level, maybe localization of the loudspeaker in low frequency is not so heavy, while articulation is good as well With good performance of built-in sound effect of Z87X 3D, along with the fair price, it should be high value added in MB BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z87X 3D Advantages 1. Price is only a little higher than entry Z87, specification and material are similar to those of middle-level Z87 in other brands 2. All-Japanese solid capacitor, built-in Power / Reset buttons and LED debugging light signal 3. Visual impression of novel UEFI interface is good, with fast startup speed, rich options and wide range of voltage. 4. For built-in sound effect, it uses better Non-Polarized electrolysis Electric audio capacitors, in addition, sound effect range is also designed by dependent PCB 5. Main power supply includes 13 items, overclocking ability of CPU and DDR3 is also above level 6. It attaches with multiple sound effect softwares, used for users who need different sound fields or other environments Disadvantages 1. There have been no BIOSTAR sales channels in Taiwan at present 2. It suggests using relatively advanced sound effect chip of Creative CA0132 or VIA Envy24MT 3. It is hoped to use gold plated material for built-in sound effect holes 4. UEFI BIOS is suggested being upgraded to high resolution of 1920X1080 [IMG]http://www.twcarpc.com/photo/wwm/2013/BZ87/BZ8715.jpg[/IMG] Performance ratio ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 82/100 Material ratio ★★★★★★★★★☆ 86/100 Specification ratio ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 83/100 Appearance ratio ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 83/100 Price-performance ratio ★★★★★★★★★☆ 88/100 Advantages of the Intel Haswell framework lie in that the Z87 chipset supports 6 sets of SATA3 devices The built-in display HD4600 of the most advanced i7-4770K has 17~39% improvement in 3D performance DDR3 bandwidth performance and the highest overclocking frequency are also improved again, which are all progresses While temperature control and overclocking pulse have not been better on contrary, which are pitiful Fortunately, default performance of CPU has been improved, overclocking to 4.5GHz is similar to overclocking to 4.8GHz of the last generation in air-cooled condition For consumers who have had Ivy Bridge platform, Haswell framework is not so attractive But for users who want to buy a new PC host machine, it suggests choosing Haswell framework directly Price of BIOSTAR Hi-Fi Z87X 3D falls around 150 US dollars, which can be a Z87 MB with a quite fair price Considering the market of Z87, the price is only a little higher than that of entry Z87, material and specification are similar to Z87 with a price of more than 200US dollars Especially in design and material of built-in sound effect chip, it is beyond many middle Z87 level, and sound quality performance is impressive CPU 4.5GHz and DDR3 2800 have stable overclocking performance, which can also reach the supposed performance level of Z87 MB. BIOSTAR is hoped to launch more products with fair price and stronger overclocking in the future, which brings more competition to the consumer market The paper is also published on my Blog [url=http://www.wretch.cc/blog/windwithme]WIND3C[/url], 3C fans are welcome to visit and give advice or comments:) [/QUOTE]
