The final destination of the site's first drying year award - MSI MSI Aegis 3 desktop gaming computer host unpacking

After having had a New Year's Eve dinner and a year-end bonus, I have been working hard for a year and finally ushered in the Spring Festival holiday. The po owner is about to embark on the journey home. Before returning home, po spent the biggest sum of the year. Money, so there is this out of the box review text.

The new Intel Kaby Lake+200 chipset platform was released at the beginning of the month. Originally, he thought that he had crashed his own machine, but unfortunately he was busy at the end of the year and missed the opportunity of research and deployment. If the express or memory card or any kind of accessory cannot arrive at the goods, it will be very funny. Therefore, I simply bought the whole machine and brought it home.

MSI Aegis 3 Aegis 3-009CN desktop gaming computer host (i7-7700 16G 1T 256G GTX1070 8G alone Wifi WIN10) 12477 yuan Jingdong direct link


Out of the box

Judging from the model designation, Aegis 3 should be the third generation product, but the second-generation information cannot be found on the Internet. The previous generation of Aegis series used the Skylake+100 chipset platform. Aegis 3 upgrades in addition to Intel. To the new platform, the appearance of the machine has not changed much compared with the previous generation. The change I saw was the addition of a headset hanging, and nothing else. From the outer package, you can see the appearance of the host.

The back of the box will inevitably require a variety of selling points.

Do not look at this machine is small, from the box when it comes to feel very heavy, originally on the machine is also covered with a protective film, but in order to take pictures all tear off, anyway, not high light injection molding shell does not need a film. The host capacity is 19.6L, which is about two-thirds that of the ordinary mid-tower chassis.

The mainframe is divided into upper and lower parts. The power supply is installed below the base. It should be to prevent the heat of the power supply from affecting the inside of the mainframe.

The opening on the right side of the board is close to the video card fan, and graphics card cooling should not be a problem.

On the back of the main unit, the power supply at the bottom can be clearly seen from this point of view.

The left side panel also uses the window design, but the form is sealed by acrylic, after all, not to leave space for the graphics card cooling.

Looking down from the top of the fuselage will feel very narrow, it is worth mentioning that the chassis set up a metal handle in the tail position, you can put the entire host to lift it up, I think you like to take your own machine Go to LAN Party, and we seem to like to go to Internet cafes here. Haha, pull away...

The left and right sides of the chassis a headset hanging I thought it was an antenna, after seeing the instructions to know that the original headset is hanging, very convenient, does not account for the location of the desktop.

The top of the fuselage in front of the optical drive, saying that this year's CD-ROM drive can not be used a few times at most, the most is that children's school occasionally send some CD to use.

Front USB interface, one of which is USB 3.1 Type-C, one of the following two USB ports supports fast charging and shutdown charging.

There is a VR dedicated interface at the bottom of the main unit to facilitate the connection of VR helmets such as the HTC Vive. To put it plainly, the internal HDMI cable is used to bring the HDMI interface of the graphics card to the front of the chassis. To use the front VR Link, you need to use the supplied HDMI cable. Connect the VR Link port of the rear panel to the HDMI output port of the graphics card.

Disassemble & Upgrade Exploration

Po poems are full of curiosity about the peculiarly shaped host's internal structure, and it's easy to see the dismantling. However, the curiosity finally arrives at the dismantling of the watch. After removing a screw on the back, the top cover can be removed. When you can see the ultra-thin optical drive commonly used in notebooks, and then there is a reserved 2.5-inch drive mounting position on the right, metal handle with 7 screws fixed on the body, it should fly.

Next, remove the right side plate. The outer layer of the side plate should be engineering plastics. The inside is metal, and the electromagnetic radiation resistant EMI shrapnel can be seen. The video card uses a mounting method that is perpendicular to the body, with the fan blade directly facing the opening in the side panel. The original intention of this design should be to let the graphics card have independent wind tunnel, reduce CPU temperature on the graphics card.

The MSI brand host uses the MSI's game graphics card as a matter of course. There is no nameplate on the graphics card, but it should be the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G in appearance. The double 10cm fan supports low temperature stall, and the temperature starts to rise above 60°C. Faith lights on the side. The more shouldered design, the wider version, but the graphics card vertical installation, then the graphics card width limit is reduced, do not consider the chassis compatibility issues.

The heat pipes arranged by the SU are nickel-plated and the power supply is designed using 8+6 pins. In addition, the power cord is drawn from the front of the chassis at the front, and there is a fan at the rear of the bottom to the outside. From here, it can be seen that the airflow in the chassis is entered by the front mesh and then the heat is removed through the CPU. The fan is discharged together with the bottom exhaust fan.

Graphics card with backplane.

After unplugging the graphics card, you can see the CPU cooler, wireless network card and notebook memory. CPU heat dissipation is somewhat similar to a notebook. Heat is transferred to the heat sink through a heat pipe and then blown directly to the outside of the chassis by a fan. This is the legendary Silent Storm cooling system. The heat of the power supply, graphics card, and CPU is separately controlled to achieve Do not interfere with each other.

The video card is installed vertically through a PCI-E riser card.

The PCI-E slot of the installed graphics card uses a metal armor design. This design should be designed to prevent the PCI-E slot from bending and causing poor connection of the graphics card. Now many motherboards have used this design, and they have almost become high-end motherboards. Standard.

Then remove the host, after the drive is removed, you can see the hard drive cage hidden under the drive, you can install up to two 3.5-inch hard drives, hard drive data lines and power lines have been pre-made modules and connected to the motherboard, whether it is here 3.5 The hard disk installation position or the aforementioned 2.5-inch hard disk drive is modular, and the upgrade does not require rerouting.

The internal dismantling point is in place. Now remove the other side panel and slide it open. The back of the motherboard has two M.2 slots, one of which is pre-installed with an Intel 600P 256G SSD. The other memory slot also has a dual-channel memory that is exactly the same as the front of the motherboard. Now that 16G of a single DDR4 notebook has been sold Well, so after the memory price of cabbage can be considered to upgrade to 32G.

The nameplate is concealed at the bottom of the fuselage, and the air inlet at the bottom of the fuselage is dedicated to the power supply. After all, the air duct is independent.

Lamps, etc. Lamps

Say now whether it is the motherboard or the graphics card mouse and keyboard, does not support RGB effects are embarrassed mixed out, MSI this host supports dynamic RGB glare system, in the pre-installed MSI GAMING CENTER which can set lighting effects, support static Lights, gradients, breathing lights, and more.

Light effect real shot, the word is not important, look at the picture!

Performance Testing

Not willing to run a point, how can you get less Lu master, more than 98% of the country's users, reasonable, haha.

The Intel Kaby Lake i7-7700 is an upgraded version of the previous generation i7-6700, with a default frequency of 3.6G and a maximum Turbo frequency of 4.2G. Both the default frequency and the Turbo frequency are 0.2G higher than the i7-6700. The same is a 14nm process and 65W TDP. , but memory can already support DDR4-2400, in addition core video card is also upgraded from HD530 to HD630.

The silent performance of the i7-7700 is almost equal to that of the silent i7-6700K.

In terms of memory, the dual channel consists of two Samsung DDR4-2400s. The default timing is 17-17-17-39.

The hard disk is a combination of 256G SSD+1T HDD, in which the SSD is an Intel 600P 256G, which belongs to the entry-level M.2 SSD, supports NVMe, has a quite satisfactory performance, and has a large gap with the high-end M.2 SSD, but its performance is slightly better than Entry-level SATA SSD.

The video card is the MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G, which has already been mentioned above, but the factory preset core frequency is lower than the retail version, but slightly higher than the public version.

3DMARK runs as follows.

The GTX 1070 is a VR Ready card, and this machine has also been optimized for VR, including the aforementioned pre-VR Link port design and one-button VR system software. After all, this is a trend in the future, so it is also passed along the test. For a moment, the test software is a VRMARK and SteamVR test for viewing HTC Vive and Oculus Rift performance, where VRMARK rated the system's VR performance as “very good” and can easily achieve the target frame rate.

The next SteamVR performance test will evaluate the rendering capabilities of the computer through a 2-minute "Aperture robot maintenance VR demonstration" produced by Valve. After collecting relevant data, it will judge whether the system can maintain the frame rate of 90FPS and whether the visual fidelity of VR content can be tuned to the recommended level. For less-than-level systems, it can help identify whether the hardware limitations are from graphics cards, processors, or both. From the test results, this host has very good VR performance.

Look at the temperature after finishing the minute, the previous dismantling has explored the impact of discrete heat dissipation space design on heat dissipation, but in the end, do not look at advertising to see the effect, and finally use real measurement to see the truth, room temperature 16 °C, AIDA64 single copy FPU 10 minutes, CPU core maximum temperature 73 °C, and standby temperature, then the minimum temperature of 30 °C. This temperature can only be considered average compared to large chassis, but it is very valuable for such a small space.

In terms of graphics card temperature, the FurMark pager is loaded at a maximum of 70°C. It is worth noting that the core frequency has been running at a 1708MHz Boost frequency during the pager process. There is no substantial down-clocking frequency, and it can be inferred that the temperature will not cause game frame fluctuations.

Finally, I tested several popular games on hand. The first was "CS:GO," which tested 1080p and 2K resolutions respectively, with the highest effect.

1080P runs more than 200 FPS.

The 2K resolution can also run more than 200FPS. It's not so much for the average person to say such a high number of frames, but 200FPS is not wasted for users who use 144Hz or even 165Hz high refresh rate gaming display. Of course, for users who use an ordinary 60Hz display, turning on the vertical sync allows the graphics card to run stably at 60FPS, and the graphics card can cool down.

How can the popular game fail to "watch pioneer"? The same test 1080P and 2K resolution, special effects open the highest.

1080P resolution can basically stabilize below 90FPS

After setting 2K resolution, the number of frames drops to about 65 frames, which is still smooth. If it is a 4K or high refresh rate e-sports monitor, then it needs to reduce the special effects.

Next test "Tomb Raider: Rising", set the following diagram, open DX12 and FXAA, preset high effects.

The average number of frames under 1080P resolution is 120FPS.

The average number of frames at 2K resolution is also 82 FPS. Because the non-first-person competitive game does not require a high refresh rate for the monitor, games such as "The Tomb Raider: Rise" are honest and open the vertical sync to achieve the smoothest effect.

"GTA5" test set-up also see the following figure, with the game's own Benchmark were tested for 1080P and 2K resolution, the measured scene can reach more than 60FPS.

The final test is "Witches III", after all, is the graphics card killer level of the game, the highest special effects below 1080P can run at 60FPS or more, while the 2K resolution frame number is hovering around 50FPS, although the fluency is still decent, but the perfectionist It may be considered to reduce some of the special effects to run 60 PFS.

One more thing

The Naimic 2 sound software was discovered during the presentation, except for the optimization of games and multimedia sounds...

What I want to say is this "soundtracker". He can graphically inform the player of the origin of the sound source on the game screen, that is, he can find the position of the battlefield according to the instructions. The function sounds good, I want to try.

In Watchman Pioneer, the "tracker" can indeed accurately point out the position of the sound to help find the location of the battle. However, this instruction does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. Therefore, it is not necessary to rely on it to find the hidden enemy. Possibly, haha, but it is still possible to use it instead of listening and speaking when taking off the headphones and resting.

to sum up

Finally sum up the hand on this machine from several aspects

First of all, in terms of price and configuration, this is not a machine that pursues cost-effectiveness, or put it plainly. Users who pursue cost-effectiveness are never the target customers of the brand machine. Cool appearance, including RGB lighting effects and smaller size is exactly what I want, and the performance can also meet the mainstream games. As for future upgrades, there is still a M.2 slot and 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch hard drive. First, the storage system has a large upgrade space, and if the memory is to be upgraded, the original memory must be discarded and replaced with a single 16G. In terms of heat dissipation, the three discrete heat sink designs are really helpful for heat dissipation in a small space environment, at least not when the pager is overheated. Finally, I think that the area is not ideal, first is the RGB lighting effect. Can be set through the software, there is no hardware switch is not convenient enough, the other is the body though not large, but it is very heavy, I have a thin body to walk the machine a few stairs feel tired, if the metal handle can be wrapped outside the position A layer of soft glue I think is more humane.
