To upgrade, you must use the least money to do the biggest thing!

Looking at DDR4, high-level solid-state, super CPU, it is really powerless to replace it. In the message recently pushed about installed content, many buddies have proposed to upgrade on the old platform. Today Xiaobian has shared this with you.

What are the old functions?

What parts can be retained when upgrading? The first is the hard disk, as long as the interface is a SATA hard disk, no problems, the capacity is still acceptable, then keep it, feel too slow? It's always a good idea to be a data player. Another worthwhile use is memory. Although DDR4 has become the mainstream DDR4 has become mainstream, it does not mean that DDR3 has completely died. What the buddies do not know is that the DDR3 1600 is actually faster than the DDR4 2133, and it is almost the same performance as the DDR4 2400 (DDR4 needs high frequency to open the gap with DDR3)! So DDR3 memory can still continue to be used. The loss of the motherboard is also very low. If you do not plan to upgrade the platform, you can upgrade from the entry-level processor to the highest-end processor. There will be no problem in five years and eight years. As for the chassis power supply, the keyboard and mouse need not be mentioned, as long as there is no problem, they will continue to be used. In fact, the general upgrade recommendation does not consider them at all.

A little breakthrough, focus on upgrading

Of course, the processor is the most important upgrade option, especially the small partner who had chosen the entry-level processor. Now that you have a better processor, you can get a very good performance improvement. Specifically, the second and third generation Core platforms (LGA1155) are currently upgraded to i7-3700. The price is about 920 yuan. The performance is even stronger than i3-8300. If the motherboard supports overclocking, upgrade to i7-3770K. Overclocking, performance can be even stronger. The fourth and fifth generation Core platform (LGA1150) can choose i5-4570, the price is currently around 780 yuan, and the performance is between Pentium G5600 and i3-8100. As for the sixth and seventh generation Core Duo (LGA1151), upgrading to the i5-6500 is a good choice. The price is around RMB 900 and the performance is close to the Core i3-8100.

Recently, it is also a good time to upgrade DDR3 memory. Upgrading to 8GB is the minimum. With the rise of DDR4, DDR3 is likely to be discontinued soon. When the price rises, it will be a good thing to go back to DDR4. At that time, it will be a blood loss. . When upgrading the memory, priority must be given to the purchase of memory that is similar to the current single memory capacity and frequency, installed in pairs, and become dual-channel memory, which can increase the capacity and memory bandwidth at the same time, and the performance improvement is more obvious. It should be noted that four memory such as 2+2+4 or four memories such as 2+2+4+4 can be dual-channel, so if you already have a pair of memory, boldly choose high-capacity memory.

The buddies that like to play the game should give priority to upgrading the graphics card. The fourth-generation i7 or newer configuration can consider purchasing a thousand-class 1050Ti graphics card. A lower or earlier configuration using the GTX 1050 and RX 560 is sufficient, and the higher one is also available. Not moving, and these cards have been a lot faster than the old cards at the time, can play most of the current games, reduce special effects, then reluctant to eat chicken or try a 3A masterpiece.

Finally, Xiaobian Hempel's recommended upgrade accessory is a solid state drive, as long as it costs more than 200 yuan, no matter what the configuration of the old machine, can boot, games and software load several levels faster, just now SSD prices are very good, very It is worth grabbing an upgrade. The NVMe standard M.2 interface product is particularly recommended here. The price of the 240/256GB model is only about RMB 500. The new motherboard can be used directly. The old motherboard can be installed on the PCI-E slot through an adapter card. , The speed of the lever, the speed of rejection SATA interface products several times, instant boot, the game seconds into the dream is not.

Comprehensive consideration, balanced upgrade

Xiao Bian knows that when it comes time to upgrade, it is often a time to upgrade several accessories. Therefore, Xiao Bian combines two comprehensive upgrade programs. The small partners can select the parts they need most in order to upgrade according to their own needs. Make up the short boards.
