In the recommendation of the machine, Xiao Bian often used the H310 and A320 entry-level chipset motherboards for small partners. However, some small partners will feel that these motherboards have been sold cheaply. They must indicate that they are not capable of performance, functionality, or workmanship, or prefer to use the B or Z series of high-end motherboards. However, are there really problems with these entry-level motherboards? Taking advantage of today's push, Xiao Bian will come to read and chant this thing.
What is the difference between entry-level chips?
Where is the difference between entry-level chipsets and higher-end chipsets? In fact, as long as you look at the following two charts you can understand.
It can be seen that there are two main gaps in the entry-level chipset. The first is the number of interfaces and lines used to connect accessories, such as USB, SATA, and PCI-E channels, and the second is that some of the latest or high-end are not supported. Technology, such as Ao Teng memory, overclocking, PCI-E 3.0 standard and so on.
Not enough function? Can you really use these?
The lack of high-end features in entry-level motherboards is certain, but when it comes to high-end features, how much can you use? For example, there are few available PCI-E channels on the entry-level motherboard, but for mainstream users, it is generally necessary to plug in a graphics card, so the channel provided by the CPU is actually sufficient. If you also need to install M.2 SSD, PCI-E sound card, network card type, H310 and A320 PCI-E channel though not much, the version may be lower, but it can provide at least 4GB/s bandwidth, support a high speed SSDs, high-end sound cards, or Gigabit network cards are all perfectly fine.
In addition, the entry-level chipset also lacks support for AOpen memory, and there are fewer memory and PCI-E slots, and SATA and USB 3.0 interfaces. However, with the SATA interface as an example, we actually use two or three, rarely Some people will use 4 or more hard drives, USB 3.0 interface is also similar, we have only about two or three USB 3.0 devices, in fact, H310 and A320 are fully able to meet the requirements. In addition, even considering future upgrades, generally two memory and one PCI-E slot are sufficient. As for the AoTeng memory, if not for special needs, Xiaobian still recommends buying a 240GB high-speed M.2 SSD that is close to the price, instead of using the precious M.2 interface to accelerate mechanical hard disks.
There is a motherboard that can be overclocked, whether it is the price of the CPU or the motherboard is directly to a new level, more importantly, including the fan, the cost of the power must be pulled a little higher. Therefore, Xiao Bian is still more recommended to select enough processors to run a standard frequency on the H310 and A320 motherboards.
Bad quality? To see the brand
Buy motherboards also care about quality, entry-level motherboard quality will be poor? Of course, this is not the case. Entry-level motherboards can be sold cheaper, mainly because the price of the chipset is lower, and the size of the PCB is smaller, and the interface and components are also less, not because it is cutting corners and shoddy. In particular, ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI these big brands, the quality of entry-level motherboard is still very trustworthy, otherwise not only the brand image is damaged, the warranty point is estimated to be too busy. The value of entry-level motherboards is not worth using. If you look at the big brand desktops, you can also understand that many mainstream brands use H or A series entry-level motherboards.
Entry-level motherboard so no problem
What should an entry-level motherboard do? In fact, we can take a look at some of the board U kit products on an East or a cat. They usually also represent professional suggestions. Xiao Bian here gives two configurations, in which the motherboard and the processor are all based on the U-platters of the network providers, because they are usually tens or even hundreds of dollars cheaper than independent purchases. Which configuration is very suitable for daily application office, configuration 2 in medium quality eating chicken or play 3A game masterpiece no problem.
Configuration One
Configuration II
