The development of computer DIY for so many years, the traditional hardware such as CPU graphics motherboards, in fact, there is not much room for tossing, one is after so many years of market reshuffle, the manufacturers still alive have not been so many before; Second The factories that can live up to now are almost always old fried dough sticks. The market segmentation is called a tunnel, and the allocation of machines based on budget and usage will not be too variable. So we can see that in recent years all kinds of board manufacturers have begun to play lights, because there is really nothing else to do with the rest of the breakthrough in the gaming, and the other in VR. Although both of them are still in full swing, they do feel that this market will not be able to return to glory ten years ago.
Compared to the traditional hardware that doesn't have many bright spots nowadays, the development of peripheral hardware and peripherals in recent years is actually quite good. The mechanical keyboard has almost become standard, and new displays for various monitors are emerging, 2k, 4k, and G-sync. Ah, Free-sync like the selling point one by one, the chassis is also more than a cool, large side through, tempered glass, aluminum sheet and so on. In the pursuit of cool chassis at the same time, there is an obscure hardware but often easily overlooked, that is, power (speaking from the very beginning, the power supply is the computer city JS most likely to pit people to make money hardware, so many years of status Nothing to improve, simply called the saddest reminder hardware, not one)
Around such a big circle, this post is not about the power supply itself, but the problem of the power cord and the wiring, because then the cool chassis, but also can not stand below the soul of this line ah
You may say that this is the back line. You can't see the back cover and you can't see it anymore. Anyway, the lines you see from the sideways are neat, but now the double sided boxes are starting Gradually, even if I couldn't see it, but I thought that the alignment on the back side was as clean and tidy as the picture below.
As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle. For the matter of routing, choosing the right power source will naturally succeed half. And I always think that although the power is the most insignificant hardware, but it is also the most sloppy hardware, a 3000 graphics card can probably play three years of games, and a five or six hundred high-quality power supply can work stably at least five Years or even longer
Previously also wrote two original power purchase, here posted directly out
In order to no longer soul line, a full-mode power supply can be said to be a necessary initial condition, of course, half-mode power supply is not impossible, but sometimes the motherboard 24pin and CPU8pin line will be hard and dark very difficult to walk, so a step It is better to select the full-mode power supply in place. After all, as mentioned before, a good power supply can be used for many years.
At present, the standard ATX full-mode power supply that is commonly used for installation is probably the following, so it is a good choice
The quality of this domestic horse seems to be decent, but it is better than cheap, cost-effective
The SFX specifications of the full-mode power supply is mainly Yinxin and two thieves, standard SFX full-mode power supply I may still prefer some thieves, after all, the new out, the warranty is longer than Yinxin, noise performance is better than Yinxin , but also fan stall technology
But the elongated SFX-L specification is still the most reliable silver Yin
In addition to the new 500W, the new 700W platinum model is also available. Yinxin is indeed the true love powder of SFX. However, this price requires some belief.
Of course, friends who are using half or even non-mode power supplies do not have to be discouraged. There are still many ways to save your hard black original power cords (the schematics are basically from the Internet, invading).
The first and most thorough method to introduce is to replace the power cord supplied with the power supply with a soft silicone wire. For many chassis with special power supplies, this is almost the only way to avoid the soul of the line, a specific example such as self-powered inwin several mini chassis
All three power supplies come with their own power supply, and because they are not available in the market, they cannot be directly replaced by the corresponding full-mode power supply with custom cables. The only solution is to replace the original ones by yourself. Hard and black power cord
If you do not have enough confidence in your welding technology, a relatively easy way is to disassemble the self-contained power supply, then leave the original power cord and cut the other parts directly.
Then solder the softer silicone wire
Insulate joints well
After all the wires are processed in this way, the same cabling ability as the custom silicone wire can be obtained.
If you have full confidence in your hands-on ability, it is better to change the line from the source.
By doing internal line-change work for the non-mode or semi-mode power supply in this way, the same traceability as the full-mode power supply + custom line can be obtained. If the line can only be routed before the line change,
After the change of line, it can be said to be reborn.
Of course, this kind of operation is very difficult, for the majority of players who do not have the skills to open electricians, it is almost impossible for them to complete themselves. For example, I will introduce a second, relatively easy solution here. That is the power extension cord.
The principle of this processing method is to replace all the power cords of the connection boards that need to be routed with customized silicone cord extensions to achieve the effect of custom wire routing, and then connect the power supply from the invisible back line section. With the hard and black original line, the eye is not annoying and different from the original line replacement method that requires your own hands. This extension line can be purchased directly at Omnipotent Taobao.
The actual finished drawing is probably like this. First, connect the original power cable to the extension cable, and then connect the extension cable to the card. The advantage of this approach is that the threshold is low, as long as the amount of the required length and then buy an extension cord just fine, the disadvantage is that the back line may not escape the end of the soul line
After introducing these two methods, in fact, I would like to say that as long as there is patience, the line coming out of the non-mode power supply can be relatively neat, such as the one I installed before, because the video card has not been installed and the reason behind the hard disk is installed. The front line is also very simple
Of course, the effect on the back is generally like, so you can not buy a double-sided side of the chassis will not buy it
Although the above two figures have proved that the original hard and black power cord can also achieve acceptable results, but this is only for the standard ATX chassis with a large back-line space and large overall volume. If you want to get a good trace effect in the ITX small chassis, custom silicone software is still indispensable. For example, the first ITX chassis I installed a few years ago - V3 +, if you use the original line, then the style is like this
After using full-mode power supply + custom lines, the style becomes this way.
Even in some compact ATX chassis - such as the Rebel RM2 - you can only use custom wires if you want good results. The following is the effect of contrast
If we say that the election is halfway to the power supply, then the custom line will be selected and the line will be successful. So much to pave the way, in the end should be how to buy a custom power cord?
Before answering this question, we should understand what advantages custom lines have over original lines.
First of all, there is no doubt that the softness of the wire, machine friends who used the original power line to go through the line should have experienced this pain. However, I have to say that the original module line has always been advancing. At the very beginning, it was a large and colorful one like the following. The hardness is also very high, and it is completely worthy of evaluation.
After a slight improvement, it became a flat look like the following, although the hardness is still not improved, but after the full blackening, the increase in the value of the face value is still very impressive, and after the flattening, the alignment is indeed convenient.
Nowadays, more and more power supply manufacturers simply personally come out and introduce original custom lines, such as the Element Ti silver plating line prepared by XFX for its power supply. There are also some original wires that come with the power supply. They are silver or silicone-like cords, eliminating the need for separate purchase steps.
So what's the value of custom line now when the flexibility of the original wire is gradually improving? Here we have to mention another huge and unsurpassed advantage of the custom line relative to the original line - the length of the cable can be perfectly adapted to its own chassis and routing ideas. Take the XFX factory custom line posted above as an example, you can see the official specification map, such as the main board 24pin, CPU8pin and graphics card 8pin the length of the main wire are around 60-70cm
This length may be just good for a typical ATX chassis, but it is undoubtedly too long for many ITX crate. How to deal with the excess length of wire becomes a headache, and the length of the custom wire is because of the length. You can decide for yourself that there will be no such problems
So we can see that custom lines have two advantages over the original line, one is the softness of the wire and the other is the length of the wire. And these two factors are also the places we need to prioritize when purchasing custom lines.
Let's start with the issue of softness. There are about three kinds of custom wire materials that are currently on the market: silicone wire, silver-plated wires, and electronic wires. The softest among these three are undoubtedly silicone wires. The electronic wire is not recommended at all because the appearance and the silicone wires are almost the same but the hard wires are much harder. Although the silver plating wire is harder than the silicone wire, the wires are thinner and more transparent. The semi-transparent skin can see the sparkling silver plating inside, and it has a unique appearance compared to the silicone wire. In addition, there is also a method of processing will be wrapped in a layer of snakeskin net outside the silicone line, although it will increase the overall hardness of the wire, but some people like the texture and appearance of snakeskin mesh. Therefore, if you are simply pursuing soft, easy-to-wire cables, the silicone line is the best choice. If you are looking for unique visual effects, you can consider the combination of silicone thread plus snakeskin mesh and silver-plated wire. Electronic wires are not recommended at all.
Then we take a look at the issue of length. This problem is simple to say, but we must be careful when we actually operate it, because if the length is too short, the line cannot be connected, and we can only do it again. Therefore, the loss of money is not enough. The little thing, the more crucial thing is the time it takes to go back and forth. The kind of machine can't be moved in front of the eyes. I believe we must not personally experience it once. The recommended practice here is to install all the boards and the power supply is installed. Then use a leather ruler to simulate a route according to its planned route, and then obtain the length of the wire between the card and the power interface. To be safe, it is better to set an additional length of about 5cm.
After doing everything they can, they also need to shop around before placing an order. At present, Taobao’s various custom line businesses can be said to be a mixed bag. I’ve also bought a line specifically to pick up some businesses to explore for you. Quotes, in order to avoid suspicion of advertising, I put all the store's name code processing, but Wang letter face and name did not deal with
The first one to find is seemingly a good evaluation, began to ask about the price of the conventional, pay attention to the business here also specifically stated that the single line only provides old customers, new customers can only buy the whole set of wire for the first time. I feel that this line of persistence rather than just thinking about making money first should be more reliable.
Then he took the initiative to talk about the current wire of several different grades: the cheapest is the merchant to do the line on the free fish, about 150 or so; the mid-range is the Taobao regular silicone line, the price is about 200 or so; and the highest one is Is the so-called high-standard manufacturers custom line, the price is about 300, plus snake skin network is 380. Not to mention that this statement is true or false, at least you can see online custom line business according to different pricing, the materials used are still different
In order to verify this statement, I deliberately went to find a business line to do the fish, it is indeed very cheap, a small case of a silicone line down as long as 99, even if the length is slightly increased or replaced with silver plated line, the total price does not exceed 150 . However, it should be noted that when I asked for information on wires, terminals, and plugs, the free fish dealer said that the line was 18awg, and that the terminals and plugs were only ambiguous were “gold-plated blocks†and “brand plugsâ€. There are many places. Idle fishing line as the cheapest custom line, the use of materials is indeed a relatively low standard, but for the overall configuration is not high, the power is not large configuration, 18awg of the wire is sufficient to meet the needs of general use, suitable for the budget Not high friends, but need to pay attention to the need to carefully check the work of the pressure line at the joint after receiving the line to avoid the tragedy of the boom
Then I found the biggest player on Taobao to be the informant - White Rabbit. It should be said that the materials used here should be better in the whole network, and the price is higher than that of the 300-380 that was previously unveiled. The root graphics silicone line asking price 80, a full set of three silicone lines (mainboard, CPU and graphics card) asking price 400 (double color line but also add 80), but also not packaged snake skin network, then a set may be close to 500 to be honest this price It's a comparison of faith, but the rabbit's craft should have nothing to say, and the budget and beliefs are sufficient for the friends.
After finding a free fishing line and a belief line, I found two ordinary Taobao merchants. The price they gave was basically in line with the first one before. After a set of lines removed the SATA line and the big 4pin line, the asking price was about 170. The price of a set after adding these two lines is almost 200
I finally chose Taobao to do a line business at this price level. The reason why I chose this home was not because I knew in advance that he had done well, but because he also had a motherboard USB 3.0 connector at 90 degrees. Line artifacts are being sold, so together with this bought, of course, in the stage of prior communication can also feel that this is a very responsible seller, and the wire used by him according to him a little better than 18awg, between 18awg and 16awg, Terminals and connectors are all products from jmt, the overall material is still relatively satisfactory
So after contacting 5 Taobao shops and 1 free fish shop, I hereby summarised several points for everyone to communicate when buying a line:
First of all, of course, as mentioned earlier, the wire should be selected in advance and the length of the wire should be measured, and then contact the business according to these two points to ask the price
When you think that the price is acceptable, you need to further inquire about the specifications of the wire used by businesses. In general, the minimum standard is 18awg, and the better is 16awg. The smaller the number, the better.
After the cable specification is finished, it is also necessary to confirm with the merchant the terminal and connector brand they are using. In general, jmt can be used. If it is ambiguous with the previous free fishing line, it is very likely that the domestic brand or even the brand will be used. , insurance or do not choose such a business
Finally, you can finalize some specific details according to your needs and sellers, such as the handling of certain wire joints - for example, whether the CPU is directly using 8pin or traditional 4+4pin, whether the graphics card is directly 8pin or traditional 6+2pin, etc. Including joint color can be customized. For example, my motherboard and CPU are directly connected with 24pin and 8pin connectors. In order to distinguish between the card and the power supply, I would like the seller to use different colors on the two sides.
In short, the purchase of custom lines should always be the first place to use materials for inspection, and in fact from the process of communication with the seller can actually appreciate the degree of responsibility of the seller, try to choose some of the more enthusiastic and will take the initiative to recommend the seller Well, and in the process of communication, try to express their own demands clearly, so as not to be found after the line is not on the board, and finally everyone can also bargain according to their own bargaining effort discretion, of course, according to the previous business broke and my actual inquiry As a result, the space for bargaining does not appear to be very large
If the previous assignments and exchanges with the seller are completed well enough, the line received is basically reliable as long as there is no appearance damage. However, after all, things related to the power supply are accidentally crashed, so here's a chat about how to check the received custom line before the actual machine.
The first thing to confirm is of course whether the outer box is damaged. This is more intuitive and can be seen at a glance
The contents of the box must also be checked
I can see that the business I chose has imitated the delivery of sugar for the white rabbits and sent two unknown sugars. However, I did not compare the seller with a large number of tie-bars and a number of cable management tools. And a pair of installed gloves. The little blue thing next to the glove is the USB3.0 flip 90 degree artifact, this will be left to the next article to describe the actual combat.
Wires and gifts are packed in their own bags.
In addition, a place for imitation rabbits is also provided with sample presses and test reports. There is even a photo of actual machine test. I have basically felt relieved to see here. Even if this is only a form, it at least reflects some The attitude of the seller
After taking out the wire from the plastic bag, you can first bend the line like the figure below and feel the degree of hardness. The silicone line I chose for this product really feels good and is relatively soft
Next, you need to check the material at the wire joints. I really use the jmt connector for this line.
After that, it is necessary to check the crimping treatment of the wire at the joint. Of course, it is unacceptable that the cable head is exposed. At the same time, it should also take a look at whether the traces of the crimping are too heavy and cause the wire to have creases. I will do this in this respect. Pretty good
After the joint then look at the internal terminal conditions to ensure that there is no misalignment
After the above places are all checked, the next step is to check the actual length of the wire. I told the seller that the motherboard has a 24pin length of 50cm. The actual measurement is found to be a little more than 53cm.
CPU8pin I asked for 60cm, the actual measurement is a little more than 63cm
The video card 8+6pin I request is 45cm, the actual measurement is about 46cm
Finally, I took the custom line of a set of 18awg wires to compare with the received one.
It can be seen that the received line is indeed a little bit coarser than the size of 18awg, as stated by the seller (the two lines on the left are 18awg wires and the two on the right are wires purchased this time).
So here I have combed the power purchase, the custom line purchase and the inspection process related to the alignment, hoping to help everyone, and hope that everyone can buy their own custom line, completely Get out of the dilemma of the soul
In addition, in the next article, I will bring the actual combat, so stay tuned
Well, this time sharing is here, diarrhea
