Assembly
The whole thing is actually so fixed with a little initial consideration that you are already ready before you can say pugs. In the case of power supply installation, which should be done first as always, the stabilization strut and the already mentioned drive cage are conveniently removed in the first step. Afterwards you can use the power supply, the motherboard aperture for the I/O shield and the motherboard itself. The wiring takes place from the power supply to the front panel up to the USB 3.0. This fat, rigid something should really only be connected at the end. Once stupid lybent and the mass is read.
The magnetic dust filter is important, because it is appropriate to cut the top cover from the inside. Unfortunately, there is no one for the power supply opening, which is more than annoying. In addition, you could order it. Premium list feeling.
The expansion card has to be garnished with a lower slot aperture before installation, but the SSD assembly is then purely a matter of interpretation. Build on what you still have, or can and want to afford. Finished.
The rest is then quickly told. Well, almost. Because the silly, separate WiFi antenna you can see at Gigabyte not only looks shaky, but it is. We have therefore screwed two normal “kink rods” from our fund. This is also possible and is also much more stable. Also the reception is better and you don’t have to worry about an additional cable and a potential installation location.
By the way, we have removed the power and hard drive LED from the motherboard. Especially the blue power LED at the front is a smooth imposition, since far too bright. Even if they radiate downwards, the strong light is not something you really want at night. You can also get your own pupils small in a different way. By the way, the housing can also be set up for upright. Silverstone even offers stand feet in the scope of delivery. But they are only painfully stable and also look really horrible. But it would be necessary. at least.
Gaming performance
The following photo we couldn’t resist, because the often colported sentence that something even ran with Tetris 3D is actually absurd in this case, but it fits here so nicely. Random find, admittedly. But with the “Can it run Crysis?” you should really think about it above Full HD. But: 1080p is running!
However, there are many, especially older classics, which run even at full resolution still butter-soft. Need for Speed Underground 2, for example, which runs with widescreen patch even on Ultra-HD with up to 60 FPS. However, you have to tinker with the TV options for a long time in order to neutralize the input lag to some extent.
Most of the time we had to run at 1080p and for the better frame rates also with partly. greatly reduced graphics splendour. But the upscaler of my TV is fixed enough to master this task almost without delay. I filtered out games that only ran at 720p because it’s almost looking towards suicide. At GTA V it was a bit uncomfortable from time to time, but it still ran mostly round. Since my TV doesn’t support Freesync, I shot myself at 30 FPS and V-Sync outside the benchmarks and what can I say – you get used to everything with some goodwill.
Multimedial, of course, a PC is more flexible than any X-Station or Playbox. Even things like SkyGo went well and the whole on-demand offer runs more stable than the tippy app in Telekom’s Entertain receiver, despite the browser and Silverlight. If it should be a Blu-ray, there is besides the slot-in installations also the USB 3.0 and external player. With the appropriate play program, the whole DRM rat tail works up to the receiver. With Kodi, web radio is fun again and it is always more comfortable than the hardware of Telekom. But I just had that.
Summary and conclusion
You can screw nice HTPC together with the two Ryzen APUs from AMD. Especially the price drop of the larger APU is enormous and for less than 130 euros such a combination is almost unbeatably cheap. Office? Check! Multimedia? Also Check! Gaming? Yes, hmm, goes like that. You just have to switch to classics or simpler games instead of current blockbusters. Or just choke down the settings. But that usually goes really well and off. In terms of price, it all fits somehow, emotionally anyway.
Which is the conclusion that I will not screw this part apart and bring it to recycling, but will use it properly. With a large, second SSD. That has to be, already because of Steam and all the games. But then you really have everything you might need. AMD has really done a nice job here and pushed the price to where I too as a customer can live with it. This, too, is a positive finding, perhaps even the most important.
