I believe many friends who play DIY know that the 11th generation processor has a frightening instruction set - avx512f. Compared with the vast majority of users, this instruction set is not very useful; However, for the radiator, this command set is a proper "heating tube", which can only be pressed by the water-cooled radiator. So today's protagonist is also a water-cooled radiator. The difference between the new light and shadow water-cooled radiator and the traditional water-cooled radiator is that it not only emits light from the water-cooled head and the fan, but also from the water-cooled tube. In terms of high EQ, RGB water-cooled tubes enhance the battle power.
Unpacking:
The package of this water-cooled radiator is basically the same as that of the previous water-cooled radiator, with the product model and rendering on the front. However, I think the size is a circle smaller than many 360 water-cooling tubes, which is mainly due to the direct installation of the fan on the cold exhaust, which saves space.
In addition to the water-cooled radiator and RGB water-cooled tube, there is also an accessory package and a clarification book.
The whole body of the radiator is white. From the cold exhaust, fan, water-cooling pipe, to the water-cooling head, I like the little companion with a white host. This radiator is very suitable.
The cold exhaust adopts the design of dense wavy fins with 12 high-efficiency heat exchange channels, and the workmanship is good.
The water cooling head adopts an aluminum alloy shell and is internally equipped with a 2600rpm 7-blade rotor water pump and RGB water cooling pipe, which has good performance and mute effect. At the same time, there are soft light ring and RGB water-cooling tube on the top of the water-cooling head, and the appearance performance is also the top of the water-cooling radiator.
The CPU base is made of pure copper, with 90 fins on the back, forming a microchannel with a heat dissipation area of 120cm.
The most interesting thing is this water-cooling tube. In fact, it is also wrapped with a layer of RGB light belt. The inner water-cooling pipe is EPDM IIR high-density polyethylene blend, and the outer layer is wrapped by polymer fiber snake net, which ensures toughness and strength. As for the RGB lighting effect, then look down to see.
Fan usedIt's our own fan, which is designed to useHydraulic hybrid bearing.
The motherboard used in this installation is a good overclocking weapon. In terms of CPU power supply, when avx512 instruction set is turned off. And the motherboard is equipped with multiple fan interfaces, especially for the water-cooled radiator. Because the load of the water pump in the water-cooled head is larger than that of the general fan, and this interface can provide a greater current to the water pump than that of the general fan interface, which can further enhance the stability of the water pump.
It is worth mentioning that this MSI mpg z590 gmaing edge WiFi motherboard provides multiple fan interfaces. In addition to the necessary CPU fan, there are also multiple groups of sys fan ports, all of which adopt 4Pin design, so that each fan supports DC and PWM pulse speed regulation. You can stop customized settings in BIOS or MSI center software when required. At the same time, in the adaptation of water-cooled radiator, because the load of the water pump in the water-cooled head is larger than that of the fan during operation, which strengthens the stability of the water pump.
It is worth mentioning that there will be a little more steps on the device, but the overall operation process will be simpler.
It has also been tested horizontally before. Although the thermal conductivity of this silicone grease is not very prominent, only 6.2w/m.k, from the perspective of practical test results, it is not inferior to Limin tf-8 with a thermal conductivity of 13.8w/m · K. However, you should pay attention when applying it, because its thinness is a little similar to that of Xinyue 7783, which is higher than that of ordinary silicone grease.
The position of water cooling head and RGB water cooling pipe can be adjusted properly. For example, a device like me will block the first slot of memory. But I only use dual memory, so it has little impact. If you need to use a small companion with four memories, you need to install the water-cooled tube downward.
Is the light and shadow tw4-360 Arg plus in a bright state after it is lit?
RGB water-cooled tube coupled with the desktop to see the effect, is it more eye-catching than the traditional water-cooled tube?
Of course, the light and shadow tw4-360 ARGB plus also customizes more personalized lighting effects through the software lighting synchronization software of MSI motherboard.
Then there is the performance test. Let's see if RGB can increase the battle power after all? First, the standby temperature is 28 ℃, and the standby temperature of Intel i7-11700k is 38 ℃ under the pressure of light and shadow tw4-360 ARGB plus.
It can be seen that the CPU temperature is 89 ℃, the maximum temperature in the center is 89 ℃, the minimum temperature is 75 ℃, and the uniform temperature is 83 ℃.
Then I also tested the temperature of the game. The game is "wild escort 2" I played during the National Day holiday. I have to say that the snow scenery of this game is really beautiful. Of course, with a good graphics card, you can also get a very excellent experience with full effect. In particular, the display adopts a screen refresh rate of 1000r curvature 165hz, which is an immersive game experience.
As for the temperature, it can be described as cool. The temperature of Intel i7-11700k has not exceeded 60 ℃.
Through practical tests, the light and shadow tw4-360 ARGB plus with RGB water-cooled tube is really not "HuaQuan embroidered legs". Its performance is excellent in both appearance and performance, especially Intel i7-11700k, which can suppress avx512f instruction set.
Of course, we should also talk about some defects of this water-cooled radiator. First, there are not only many cables in the water-cooled head (with SATA power supply interface), but also a flat design; Secondly, the water cooling tubes with RGB blessing are very "strong", and it may be a little troublesome to install some chassis with a small width.
In addition, with regard to this avx512f instruction set, judging from the current gossip, it seems that the 12th generation of core, which is ready to be launched, may be cancelled, that is, the 12th generation may not be as hot as the 11th generation?
