An Analysis of the Way to Save Money and Fuse in Renovating Old Computers under New Normalcy

First, the origin

The computer I use now is still equipped in 2010, and there have been six spring and autumn days. Although SSDs and memory sticks have been added between them, they are already very old and inconvenient. From time to time, they have a blue screen, and they can't find the blue screen code. So, change the platform!

Second, funding and choice

Previously used AMD platform, so this upgrade is only considered for intel's. Because the bag is shy, only on the old platform, only for the motherboard and cpu, so the deep water treasure machine is not considered. At the beginning, because of i7's belief bonus, the author considered the i7 980x and i7 2600k, and later learned that the performance of the e3 1230v2 and i7 2600k is close to many aspects, but also a lot cheaper (i7 2600 to 1400 yuan, E3 as long as more than 900) Therefore, the author chose the B75+E3 platform.

To a certain second-hand fish in a circle, the water deeper, did not dare to go directly to the deepwater treasure. The B75 motherboard has a lot of choices, because some of the previous motherboards were Gigabytes, so this time changing the taste, chose the Asus P8B75-V. This motherboard only has one SATA3 jack, but I only use one SSD and it is enough. Of course, the CPU is a flake, E3-1230V2, Shenshui Po less than 1000 to get ~ plus 200 motherboards, a total of 1200 can make the old computer to robbery Fei Xian, there is no better thing than this.

Before the upgrade (old) first to a few old photos, the configuration is AMD955 + Gigabyte 770t-ud3p, this motherboard CPU power is really too cruel, is to illustrate the Gigabyte workmanship materials is too good, or that AMD technology can not?

Third, the assembly

Sent out of the box and smoked Fushou paste. Unfortunately, I bought it in Sham Shui Po. They are all simple packages. There is no open box drawing here. Radiator is used to get B81, and it is bought in Jingdong by 618. This time, it is the reuse of old things. A few radiators

It can be seen that although the workmanship shrinks a lot compared to the Transformers, it is still possible with a backplane to prevent the motherboard PCB from deforming. I wish I could withstand E3 1230V2.

This is the PCI wireless network card used on the old machine. The place where the author works, the wired Internet is particularly unstable! Sometimes it's particularly slow, but the public wireless network is very stable and flying at speeds. So I had to install a wireless network card.

The mainboard is exposed, and you can see that the very new, incredible new ones have certainly been washed! However, looking at this price, it does not matter, as long as it can be used (the result turned half the car). The motherboard has two graphics card slots, indicating that it supports dual-card SLI.

In the SATA socket section, there is only one white, that is SATA3, and the others are second generation.

The original chassis of the motherboard was removed and empty. Waiting for new people to enter, the chassis is the first Mataric.



The following began to assemble, this process is not a table, is nothing more than a screw ~ plug line ~ line ~


Fourth, the finished product

This is a completion map. The bandages that have been bought have not yet arrived. The line has not been well managed and it will be used first.

A chassis without a belief light is compared with a chassis with a belief light

Newly bought graphics card has not yet arrived, first continue to use the video card on the old machine, we guess the model

Light up once! (That is impossible.) The author discovered that it was not lit, and the red light next to the memory slot lit up. So under Baidu, it was a memory problem. There was a button next to the red light. Once it was resolved, I finally entered the system.

Changed the platform for the CPU and thought to reinstall the system, the result is not, use the system disk to boot repair do not have to use ~

Fifth, temperature and pressure testing

This is the standby temperature, the CPU is 40 degrees, and the motherboard is 28 degrees. . . Taking into account the weather in Jiangsu in August, it was OK and it was quite satisfactory for this temperature.

Use aida64 to bake the CPU while baking the donut with a donut to pursue the maximum temperature.


The computer has been running steadily for 15 minutes. Then I stopped the roast chicken. The CPU is up to 63 degrees, and the CPU core is 74 degrees (what to say, I don't really know which of the cores are packaged). The graphics card is up to 70 degrees. In general, the CPU temperature seems a bit high, and others are okay.

Six, running points

The scores of the entertainment masters and the windows 7 system's own rating were recorded and the short board was found to be the graphics card. The original hard disk score was 7.8 under SATA2, and after sata3 was changed to full marks.

Intel 520 SSD running points, the score is very low, but intel SSD is not to see run points, Lei Jun taught us, run points is useless. . .

To end with chess running points and configuration maps:

Ok, call it a day! The following is to clean the battlefield!

Seventh, summary:

1, although the use of melting B81 radiator is 6 heat pipe, but its performance is really unsatisfactory, the thermal performance is not comparable to the author of another six heat pipe radiator, NT06 pro.


2, do not want to toss, please be sure to stay away from the old platform. The author's luck was good and the motherboard was overturned by half (memory can only be inserted into two, the other two memory slots are broken, and one can't open the machine). It is recommended that you still be on the new platform, because although the CPU is not easy to be bad, but to buy the old motherboard with good quality and no illicit disease, it can be met. Before I saw a post in the map, the landlord took advantage of the large ship and landed on the X79 platform. As a result, he bought the MSI motherboard of the perforated fly line (blocked by the fragile paste), stepped through various problems and back and forth. Numerous times, I was struggling to work for a few hours and I didn't run my computer for a few hours. Finally, it was found that the main culprit was the motherboard, and the perforated fly line was repaired.

3, the first Matalic chassis, it is a bit of fat. Acrylic side panels are too easy to scratch, not recommended.

4, for the old platform, not overclocking and not tossing users, compared to the high price of i7, E3 is still cost-effective.
