Computers and modern gadgets

Hello Sergey. It's always nice to talk to a decent person. As far as I understand, you mean that the Intel Core i7-5820k processor has only 28 PCI-E lanes compared to 40 compared to the older ones? The number of supported PCI Express 3.0 lanes in the Core i7-5820k has been reduced to 28. At first glance, such a reduction in capabilities looks illogical, because the PCI Express controller, which does not allow the implementation of two full-fledged PCIe x16 slots, is the lot of LGA 1150 systems. However, in this case, Intel can be forgiven for such a free treatment of the characteristics. Past junior processors of the Ivy Bridge-E and Sandy Bridge-E series, the Core i7-4820K and Core i7-3820, had a quad-core design. Now, while maintaining the price of the younger model in the 400-dollar framework, we are offered a one and a half times increase in the number of cores. The lack of the ability to build multi-GPU configurations that work according to the x16 / x16 formula does not look like a big sacrifice against such a background. Moreover, as we well know from LGA 1150 systems, even in the case of the x8/x8 PCIe graphics slot formula, the performance of SLI and CrossfireX configurations is almost not limited from above, so the x16/x8 scheme proposed by the Core i7-5820K is clearly a disaster. doesn't look. Moreover, this relatively inexpensive processor, unlike the CPU for the LGA 1150, leaves room for the formation of a three-component graphics subsystem that will work according to the x8/x8/x8 formula. The only thing in which the Core i7-5820K is fundamentally inferior to its older counterparts is that it is impossible to use it to form an SLI configuration with four video cards. As you can see, here is a turnkey configuration, without a future upgrade, that is, no one was going to install several Quadro / Tesla video cards here, specifically in this assembly the processor is directly involved in the calculations. Now let's look at the chart:
It can be seen that at a significantly lower price, the Intel Core i7-5820k processor provides almost the same computing performance as significantly more expensive solutions. That is, to put it simply, buying an Intel Core i7-5820k, we practically do not lose performance, but we win a lot financially. So in this case, buying an Intel Core i7-5820k processor is more than justified. Sergey, you are offering to purchase a Core i7-5960X Extreme Edition and four Tesla cards, but if you were a little more attentive, you could see in the topic header that in this assembly we were strictly limited to a budget of 120,000 rubles. Today, the cost of one nVidia Tesla K20 video card starts from 200,000 rubles. It is very easy to leave a comment without delving into the essence.

Tower
Size

AMD closed the sales gap with Intel with new Ryzen products, even releasing refreshed CPUs this year. But for the gaming segment, Intel is still popular due to the test results that their processors show: they do not “freeze” in games and have the best FPS.

Intel's flagship CPU of the latest, eighth, generation of Coffee Lake is the i7-8700K. Index K means that the multiplier for overclocking this processor is unlocked. With six physical cores and twelve threads, the base clock speed is 3.7 GHz, and in turbo mode it is 4.7 GHz. Now you can buy it for 23.5 thousand rubles without a cooler (OEM delivery type).

The TDP of such a “stone” is 95 W. After overclocking, the heat release increases. If it is important to ensure silence, then we pay attention to a semi-passive fan, for example, the Arctic Cooling Freezer 33 for 2200 rubles, which has a power dissipation of 150 W and a rotation speed of 0 ~ 1350 rpm.


Motherboard

The Intel i7-8700K CPU supports LGA 1151 v.2 socket and is not compatible with 100 and 200 series motherboards. Since the name of the central processor we have chosen contains the “K” index, that is, it has overclocking potential, a motherboard with a Z370 chipset is suitable, for example, the Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming K3 with an ATX form factor for 10,000 rubles. She has the following features:

  1. Support for RAM frequencies up to 4000 MHz;
  2. Has four slots for DDR4;
  3. There are six SATA3 and two M.2 connectors;
  4. 2 external ports USB 2.0, 4 USB 3.0, one each USB 3.1 and Type-C;
  5. The video signal is output via the HDMI and DVI connectors;
  6. High-quality audio controller Realtek ALC1220 (signal/noise 120 dB);
  7. Variety of LED lighting modes.

Operational Patyat

The cost of RAM is currently overpriced, so it should be chosen from the price / performance ratio. Demanding games in 2018 will require at least 16 GB of memory. We buy two 8 GB sticks so that the dual-channel mode of operation is enabled. A set of memory modules Patriot Viper Elite PV416G300C6K DDR4 for 12,500 rubles has a frequency of 3000 MHz, CL16 latency and a voltage of 1.35 V.

video card

Now the price tag for graphics adapters is determined by several factors: the exchange rate of cryptocurrencies, which corresponds to the demand among miners, and the shortage of video memory.

The minimum cost of a video card for games at the beginning of 2018 is 12 thousand (AMD Radeon RX 560 Gigabyte PCI-E 4096Mb). But in our configuration there is a top-end processor, so a more or less worthy “vidyuha” should correspond to it.

For these purposes, let's look at the nVidia GeForce GTX1070 Gigabyte WindForce 2X PCI-E 8192Mb (GV-N1070WF2OC-8GD) for 40 thousand rubles. This price is almost commensurate with the CPU, cooler and motherboard combined. Is she worth it? Especially in a couple of months, new-generation nVidia video cards will be on sale. But the price tag will also be high. Therefore, this option is necessary for today's assembly, when there is no time to wait. 4K video games will be available at minimum settings within 30 FPS. Models like GTX1080 and GTX1080TI are not considered in order not to go beyond the established budget.

power unit

The choice of PSU must be approached thoroughly: it depends on how long the components of the computer will last. Based on the characteristics of the selected discrete video card, we need a 500-watt power supply.

The most important parameters are efficiency and the availability of various protections. Let's compare two power supplies at the same price of 2500 rubles: Aerocool KCAS-500W and Thermaltake Smart RGB 500W. Which one is more attractive? The former is certified 80 Plus Bronze, while the latter is only 80 Plus (more on this in the article). Aerocool can power up to seven SATA devices, while Thermaltake can power five. The advantages of the latest model: an ultra-quiet 120 mm fan that can change the color of the RGB backlight with a button on the PSU case, and a five-year warranty from the manufacturer. Let's summarize these characteristics in a table.

Table 1.

Active PFC Eat Eat
Performance (efficiency) 85% 87%
Certificate 80PLUS BRONZE 80PLUS
RGB backlight No Eat
Length of MP power lines 55 cm 50 cm
Video card power 2x(6+2) pin 2x(6+2) pin
SATA connectors 7 pcs 5 pieces
Line power +12V 444W 420W

As a result, the Aerocool power supply is preferable, while Thermaltake will be of interest to users who focus on modding, where the basis is LED backlighting.


Data keepers

For gaming systems, an SSD drive is essential as a place for installing games, which outperforms a conventional mechanical hard drive in the following indicators:

  • silent due to the absence of moving parts;
  • constant low temperature within 30 ºС;
  • the maximum read / write speed reaches 500 Mb / s for devices with an SATA3 interface or up to 2000 Mb / s for drives with the M.2 form factor.

Of course, SSD drives have their drawbacks:

  • high price;
  • limited service life, characterized by the parameter TBW.

Compared to the assembly described in the article, we use one 240 GB disk, which will fit the operating system, programs and two games. This will reduce the cost of the entire configuration. In this case, we sacrifice free space for a powerful modern processor and video card. In the future, when the price of a 1TB SSD drops, then it will be possible to increase the storage space.

And today we will focus on the A-DATA Ultimate SU650 ASU650SS-240GT-C 240GB, 2.5", SATA III SSD. TB It has a democratic cost - 4700 rubles.

Frame

The heat dissipation of all computer components, even during overclocking, will not exceed 350 watts, so you can not “fence” a sophisticated cooling system, but limit yourself to fans on the front and rear panels of the system unit. The length of our video card is 28 cm. Based on these properties, we choose a case.

According to numerous reviews on the Internet, the ACCORD R-03B model can be considered an affordable case in terms of price / quality ratio. Its merits are as follows:

  • two USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors on the front panel;
  • a relatively quiet 120 mm fan is installed on the rear panel;
  • the possibility of installing a water cooling system;
  • bottom location of the power supply;
  • the presence of an easily removable dust filter for the PSU;
  • compact dimensions for an ATX case - 200 x 440 x 470 mm;
  • the maximum length of the video card is 310 mm;
  • screwless mounting of 5.25" devices;
  • low price 1.5 thousand rubles.

Let's find a cooler for the back wall of the case in order to have a complete cooling system. The DEEPCOOL UF120 fan for 600 rubles fits perfectly. Positive selection criteria:

  • diameter 120 mm;
  • airflow is 66.3 cfm;
  • adjustable rotation speed - from 500 to 1500 rpm (powered by the motherboard - 4-pin);
  • durable double ball bearing - Ball Bearing;
  • noise level does not exceed 28 dB(A);
  • many positive reviews.

Summarize. We managed to meet the required amount for the purchase of a system unit for a PC - 100 thousand rubles. If we wait a few months (a new generation of video cards will appear, prices for CPUs and motherboards will decrease), then the indicated amount will decrease, and we will add another SSD with the money saved or replace the case with a more luxurious one, with a transparent window (as in the article). The current configuration will be relevant for several years thanks to the top-end central processor and sufficient RAM.

Modern ASUS graphics cards are compatible with the exclusive GPU Tweak II utility, with which you can take full control over the graphics subsystem of your computer. For example, the new Gaming Booster feature allows you to instantly allocate all available computing resources to a 3D application to ensure maximum performance.

Gaming Booster Feature - One Click Optimization

  • Visual Effects: Improve performance by turning off the visual effects of the Windows interface.
  • System Services: Automatic or manual shutdown of Windows services and processes.
  • Memory defragmentation: Freeing up system memory without closing running processes.
  • XSplit Gamecaster Utility

    The software package that comes with this video card includes a 1-year license for XSplit Gamecaster, a handy utility for broadcasting and recording game progress (the cost of such a license, purchased separately, is $99). Implemented as an interface overlaid on top of the game itself, it also displays system monitoring data (GPU frequency, video card temperature, video memory load level) and contains GPU Tweak II utility controls (for example, to switch between profiles with settings or instantly overclock the video card).
