Such as beautiful summer flowers - Patriot Moonlight Box x installed machine notes

It used to be that Patriots did MP3s, including the well-known “Moonlight Box” series. Now in the computer DIY market Patriot released the "Moonlight Box X" chassis. The promotion of the chassis is characterized by gorgeous, supporting 160W color RGB effects.

The installation is a toss, but this tossing will also bring a sense of accomplishment, for the "brilliant" goal, the LZ is fighting! ~

This chassis inherited the latest split structure design of the Patriots before. In order to highlight the bright effect of “Moonlight”, a three-faced glass panel is used, especially on the side, completely transparent, and the interior of the chassis can be seen at a glance.

Open the glass panel of the chassis, you can clearly see the hardware structure of the chassis continue to use a split design, and then "find" the success of the chassis have been retained, and in some details have been improved. For example, the power hole of the power cover, the rubber ring of the wire hole, etc. We will explain in detail later. As a split-type chassis, more consideration is given to the convenience of modularization and installation. The operation space is large and the degree of freedom is high. It is easy to install a tower radiator and water-cooling equipment.

The back of the alignment hole, still using the nine hole alignment method: the top 2, the side 3, the bottom of the 4 ~ ~ At the same time, there are many strap holes, easy to bundle, and manage the line.

The I/O interface part of the top panel of the chassis is from left to right: LED light adjustment switch, power key, reset key, indicator light, USB3, audio interface and USB2 interface. Can be described as everything, fully able to meet the needs of users. The top of the chassis is also equipped with a magnetic dustproof net. The following is a fan that can accommodate two 120mm fans.

The front part of the chassis is 3 RGB_LED fans, and the top is slightly weird. Although the optical drive can not be installed yet, it still retains the installation space of the 5-inch device. It is recommended to completely remove such useless slots and install the SSD instead. How good is the hole, but you can install more SSDs. The front section of the power supply cover is also located on the hard disk, and a 120-mm fan can be independently installed to dissipate heat from the hard drive.

The anti-shock pad added to the fixing hole of the side panel prevents the pop-up when installing the side panel.

The upper part of the rear of the chassis is a fan position, and 120 fans or 120 water cooling rows can be installed. Also compatible with 7 pci devices.

The interface is complete, the thickness of the glass side plate is 0.4mm

This is the control core of the whole RGB effect. At present, three fans are connected, and three RGB fans can be connected, leaving the user to expand.

Hard disk mounting bracket supports 3.5 and 2.5 inch hard disk devices.

Accessories bag and lens cloth

Screws, cable ties, cable management clips, everything

Manual and certificate

The gorgeous installation is about to begin, but before I do this, let's take a look at my installed parts:

CPU: Using an Intel i7 5820k, 6 core 12 threads, also supports overclocking, can reach about 4.5g, fully able to deal with the vast majority of software and games.

Plextor’s SSD, M6P_128g is used to install the system, and M6V_256g is used to install games and common software.

The mechanical hard disk adopts two Seagate 1T two-disc hard disks, of course, the transfer rate is not as fast as the SSD, but it is sufficient as data storage.

Motherboard and memory:

Motherboard is naturally the X99 chipset, in order to meet the brilliant theme of this installment, must choose to shine, but the silver is limited, but not too costless ~ ~ MSI gaming7 is acceptable, easy to use is not expensive, and the audio part also Can shine.

The memory is a GALAXY DDR-2133 4G4 with a breathing lamp. It is said that the lighting kit can also be replaced. After seeing the red light, it can be replaced with other colors. NICE~~

Such as the non-public version of the RX480 ~ ~ first with the old video card to withstand, anyway, no time to play the game recently, installed a graphics card can light machine on the line ~ ~

The chassis only provides 3 RGB fans. The top and rear positions need to be filled with fans. Xin Gu 120 red LED fan to fill the gap!

When the machine was installed, it was originally intended to be on one of the 240 water-cooled, but found that the upper part of the chassis is still insufficient space, and finally can only be bent on the air cooling solution.

The fan and motherboard MOS heatsink conflict, and most mid-to-high-end motherboards have heat sinks in this area.

In the end, it was only necessary to use an overclocked three wind-cooled black gold-plated air-cooled radiator, five 8mm heat pipes, and a 140W CPU with a maximum heat dissipation of 225w TDP.

This is basically the case. Everyone is ready to go on a machine map.

The official introduction has a multi-mode color change. Personally feel that the 7-color breathing pattern is better, the blinking pattern is too killing Matt, does not meet the widow's smoldering character ~ ~

Red flame

Red with green, recruit people

Red & blue, hit color effect

Purple better, bright show ~~

Cyan and yellow-green, and some flavor ~ ~ a bit like Argentina and Brazil wind ~ ~

To a close-up of a LOGO, the LOGO's small panel can be changed, you can replace it with your own pattern or letter.

After installing the side panel, I feel the brightness of the light has dropped by a notch. It will not be dazzling, but will be even more boring. ! !

Contrast the effect of removing the side panel, it is brighter without the side panel!

Enter Bios:

MSI's Gameing motherboard is always full of compulsion, and the red dragon badge is even more indicative of its own class.

After entering the system, I ran several basic tests to get an overview of the performance of this host:

Overall performance is acceptable, after all, is beyond 99% of users, but also has been close to 30W score.

The installation is like selecting objects, buying a car, or decorating a house. It is always not perfect, or after a stage has been satisfied, the next step is continuous running-upgrade-reinforcement-upgrading and never-ending forever.

But at least, it is most important to stabilize at a certain stage and then apply it with great concentration. It is the most important thing to obtain self-improvement and pleasure from it.

At this point, the installation of the Moonlight Box x has come to an end. There are some deficiencies and some receipts, but this is not the end, but another starting point...
