Unfortunately, the MSI Z170 Gaming M5 motherboard and the Sima Titanium 800 Watt power supply were hung up. They failed to light up after a sudden blackout at a certain boot process. The probability that the two hardwares are hung at the same time is almost equal to 0. Which of the back pans would not lead me to fight, and I'm glad that the CPU, video card and other hardware are intact. According to the feedback from the manufacturers for repairs, it is difficult to fix the power supply on the motherboard, and the power supply is not a problem. No matter how good repairs are made, it will take a lot of time. Therefore, there will be an upgrade plan for the i7 six-core+X99 platform.
The CPU did not think about how to set the i7-5820K CPU, the new 6820K to listen down in addition to the price than 5820K expensive nothing.
The overall platform is red and black, so give priority to the X99 main board, which is mainly red and black, and list several models with a budget of about 3K. I think that the high-end positioning and pricing products like the X99 have extended performance and overclocking performance. Between Bo Chung, to see the DIY players' own preferences, the main reason for choosing ASRock is X99 Gaming i7 is the new enhanced version of the X99, with SLI HB bridge and other new features, buy new do not buy the old thing, in addition ASRock and MSI two Block X99 motherboard with a 2 × 8G memory suite, now just in the memory price of wildly rising period, the value of almost 700 to 900 yuan, the conversion is more affordable, of course, Taobao can only buy the actual 2K6 hand.
The CPU and the mainboard reach the first time, and the added memory is on the way. The price of the memory has to be given up. The price of the memory is really crazy, and the ASRock X99 Gaming i7 is found in the station.
Out of the box
This time, the cover of the package is very different from ASRock's previous style. It is simple and elegant, and the X99 supports the entire layout.
The back of the features and specifications introduced, still all the old problems in English, pick a few I can understand to say, 8 layer PCB, 3300+MHz memory frequency, WiFi 802.11ac module, dual super M.2 slot, PCIe alloy slot And so on, dual USB3.1, etc., innovative Sound Blaster sound effects, materials and what the previous motherboard like Supper Alloy alloy inductors, Nichicon 12K platinum capacitors.
A handle at the top of the package.
Accessories, red and black I/O bezel, 4 SATA cables, 2 WiFi 2.4/5G antennas, 2 M.2 screws, 3 SLI bridges, driver CD and installation instructions.
I generally use the motherboard accessories as a tasteless, but ASRock X99 Gaming i7 two accessories are very tasteful to me, one is a WiFi antenna, the R6400 new network parts to buy the routing speed is unstable, is not to change a wireless card, the other is new The SLI HB Bridge, SLI HB is a new generation bridge specifically designed to provide double transmission bandwidth with the GTX1080/1070.
This SLI HB dual bridge did not see other differences except that the PCB color was slightly darker than the other two.
A small feature of ASRock provides the motherboard with a special plastic foam for protection. The four corners have a one-time cable tie.

Appearance listIn addition to the X99 Gaming i7, ASRock also released X99 Taichi. Both X99 models are very similar (similar in type), introducing some new popular elements, such as red and black color matching not only on the Gaming i7 heatsink, but also PCB board also played a color match, printed track style red flag, PCIe graphics card slot using a special alloy slot protection, the appearance of value increased a lot, but unfortunately no RGB.
Forcing the I/O armor necessary for the motherboard, feels like red and white decorations with consistent spray and heat sink styles should be more eye-catching.
The PCH heat sink is undoubtedly the place where the entire motherboard absorbs the most, and the black, red, and silver metal anodes are mixed.
ASRock X99 Gaming i7 uses ATX, 8-layer PCB design, eight DDR4 memory slots, three PCIe3.0 x16, and the third root is the x8 bandwidth from the number of gold fingers on the back. Some of the chips are placed on the back of the PCB.
Remove the heatsink and motherboard armor look.
The appearance of the armor of the motherboard is very cold, but it is not metal. After all, it is not worth the short circuit.
Product analysis
The biggest difference between the X99 mainboard and the Z170 mainboard is the layout. The eight memory distributions are on the left and right sides. The power supply materials and the corresponding heat sink are changed to the top.
The LGA2011-3 processor socket is not only bulky, but also different from the general Intel motherboard. It is fixed with two metal hooks. It is seen that the pins are added to help the overclocking performance, and the heat sink fixing holes are originally on the socket. Not through the motherboard PCB, so pay attention to whether the radiator is compatible with the use.
The heat sink on the drawing process has good texture. The following is the CPU power supply part. There are 12 inductors, ie 12-phase digital power supply design, with 12 alloy inductors and Nichicon 12K platinum custom capacitors.
The material is not much to say, and ASRock mid-high-end Z170, X99 motherboard is roughly the same, double DG19CN MOSFET, lower impedance, take up less space.
Located on the edge of the ISL6379 CPU-powered PWM chip, the original 6-phase power supply, through the phase to get 12-phase power support.
Corresponding to the back of the PCB, six Intersil 11ACRZ phase driver chips.
Eight memory slots, support four channel technology and Intel® XPM technology, the maximum memory capacity of 128GB, if you use the Xeon® Xeon processor can be expanded to 256GB of memory, the memory finger gold finger is said to be strengthened by 15μ gold plating process, Increases antioxidant and longevity.
The memory power supply has a total of 4 phases, and it looks like there are only 2 inductors. The uP1674P-powered PWM chip is also a 2-phase design, but don't forget that there are 4 memories on each side of the X99.
The other side of the same two inductors and uP1674P PWM chip, with the MOSFET is the same as the CPU power supply part of the DG19CN double-layer MOSFET.
Near the memory slot provides two physical buttons, Power boot and Reset restart, in addition to increase sales, to facilitate the debugging of the host especially interested in bare-metal overclocking players.
The number of SATA3 6.0Gb/s storage interfaces has reached 10, I can't use so much, 8 side-mounted SATA, and 2 upright SATA on the top of the PCH heat sink, there is also a SATA-E 10Gb/s high-speed interface , Shared with the slot labeled SATA3_4/SATA3_5 at the bottom, but locating a SATA-E with X99 is not too much.
What is surprising is that the X99 chipset area is not much larger than the Z170.
Three PCIe3.0 x16 full-size slots support AMD and Nvidia to build 2-way or 3-way multi-card systems. However, all three of ASRock's bridges are Nvidia's, and AMD is actually not alive.
The graphics card slot has added aluminum material protection in a swift manner. It is said that it can play a solid role in physics and it feels like an egg. But after seeing the miraculous demolition of the graphics card to unplug the entire slot, I guess it may be true. Use it a little bit, in addition the gold finger part is treated with the same 15μ gold plating process.
Two Ultra M.2 interfaces, the corresponding location just printed red decorative lines, support Gen3 x4 32Gb / s ultra-high bandwidth speed, so called Ultra that M.2, SATA3/PCIe two channels and various The size of M.2 SSD is compatible.
When installing the M.2 SSD, remove the yellow seal film at the corresponding hole distance, and then remove the raised screw.
The bottom of the debug indicator, and Power, Reset entity keys, like tossing and overclocking players to troubleshoot.
ASRock features dual BIOS chip design, the chip can be swapped, next to the switch and BIOS cleared jumper.
Innovative Sound BlasterTM Cinema 3 sound effects.
ASRock X99 Gaming i7's audio system is marked with innovation. Although it doesn't play metaphor audio, the name of the innovation is still a little bit of a surprise. It's a pity that it is not an innovative sound card. It's still just a software improvement. After removing the motherboard I/O armor, It's a real-life ATV1150 crab from Dalu, which is similar to other high-end motherboards. Nichicon Fine Gold specializes in audio capacitors and PCB audio cutting circuits.
I/O on the back of the mainboard has two gold-plated WiFi antenna ports. The M.2 2230 WiFi/BT wireless module has been installed inside.

On the back of Nuvoton NCT6791D hardware monitoring chip, real-time monitoring of temperature, voltage, fan speed and other motherboard information.
The first time the six-core i7-5820K processor is installed, the bulk is not to say, the PCB is indeed thicker than the normal quad-core i5, there is an opening in the upper left corner, if not for Jingdong to buy, thought it was the key spam foreign garbage CPU .
When installing, it was found that the LGA2011 socket was tight. In addition, the CPU turned upside down.
ASRock X99 Gaming i7 comes out of the box, more detailed experience of the platform and performance experience, and other memories come again, as the flagship positioning motherboard, ASRock X99 Gaming i7 overall there is nothing much Tucao place, 12-phase CPU power supply, 8 memory DDR4 And 4 phase memory power supply, 3 video slots to support 3-way system quite satisfactory, others such as Ultra M.2, SATA-E, USB3.1 high-speed storage interface a lot.
advantage:
Classic red and black GAMING color matching, alloy graphics card slot, PCB printing red flag, color value forcing the grid compared to the previous ASRock X99 high
Comes with WiFi 802.11ac module and two antennas
Provides 3 SLI bridges, especially the new generation of SLI HB bridges for the Nvidia GTX1080/1070
Guaranteed by the use of materials, basically ASRock's Supper Alloy alloy inductors, Nichicon platinum capacitors, double MOSFETs are used
Disadvantages:
The number of M2, SATA-E and other interfaces is not much, at least see less than ASRock own Z170 Extreme7
No popular RGB adjustable backlight elements are used
This motherboard PCB is slightly bent, I don't know if it's a case
A solar inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in homes and businesses.
Usage:
Solar inverters are used in both residential and commercial solar power systems to convert the electricity generated by solar panels into a usable form for powering homes, businesses, and other facilities. They are an essential component of grid-tied solar systems, off-grid solar systems, and hybrid solar systems.
Working Principle:
Solar inverters work by using a process called "pulse width modulation" to convert the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC electricity. This involves rapidly switching the DC input to create a waveform that mimics the characteristics of standard grid electricity. The inverter also synchronizes the output with the grid frequency and voltage to ensure compatibility with the existing electrical infrastructure.
Purpose:
The primary purpose of a solar inverter is to enable the use of solar energy as a practical and reliable source of electricity for residential and commercial applications. By converting the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC electricity, solar inverters make it possible to power appliances, lighting, and other electrical devices with clean, renewable energy from the sun. Additionally, solar inverters also provide monitoring and control functions to optimize the performance and efficiency of the solar power system.
