[PConline evaluation] In the hardware industry, the status of Gigabyte motherboards and graphics cards needless to say, ultra-mini BRIX host is also very representative, but it out of a look at both the appearance of the model, but also take into account the small size and fever performance host You don't necessarily know that PConline got such a host today - Gigabyte's Wings, and the name looked tall. It really has a pair of "wings"! It really meant something when the two wings bounced up.
â—† Gigabyte Light Wing Appearance:
GIGABYTE Wings Host
In the absence of power, the Gigabyte Wings host is like this, many colleagues see it at first glance associates Apple's trash can, anyway, I did not feel like ... Apple is cylindrical, Gigabyte's Wings of Light is much flatter.
Above the green are dust-proof cooling vents, such a small body to squeeze i7-6700K + GTX1070 no strong thermal design is certainly HOLD can not live. Anyway, the biggest highlight of the host model is that it is small and simple, there is not much fancy things, but watching can feel a full sense of technology.
The light said maybe it didn't seem to understand how small it was and compare it with a palm.
Host positive contrast
Everyone can extend their hand to make a gesture, you can know how big the front of the chassis.
Chassis side
Really make you feel "small" has to look from the side, the side diameter of only 12.8cm (three-dimensional size of 276 × 384 × 128). The function of the common chassis front panel is integrated below this side.
Host interface
From top to bottom, they are the power button, 3.5mm headset socket, and two USB 3.0 ports. Below, there is an Intel i7 sticker to highlight its meaning.
Top of the chassis
At the top, there are two “wings of light†(baffles). The middle is also a heat-dissipation hole with dust-proof function. The air duct of the whole machine is from the bottom to the top, and the density of the hot air itself is smaller and it will automatically Moving up and down, this design of the air duct can greatly improve the heat dissipation efficiency, and it also makes it possible to accommodate the i7+GTX1070 in a small volume.
The back and front are symmetrical design
Compactness is very small, but where are the necessary I/O interfaces and power line interfaces?

Host's full information
Configure as follows -
Graphics card: GTX1070
CPU: i7-6700K
Memory: Double 8GB
SSD: 256GB M.2 SSD
HDD: 1TB 2.5 inches
The core hardware that influences performance and experience is still very high-end, GTX1070 is the second flagship product of Pascal's new generation graphics card (not TITAN X), i7-6700K is also the current high-end CPU and can cope with all game masterpieces on the market, 256GB SSD To ensure the system capacity, there is a certain amount of software and game storage space.
Inside
The side of the nameplate hides a large number of I/O interfaces, including two USB 3.0s, a USB 3.1 A interface supporting Thunderbolt 3 technology, and a USB-C interface. The top is an onboard HDMI interface with a core output.
Maybe you will wonder, how can such a narrow confined space be wired? Let's look at the bottom of the chassis
Chassis bottom
If the connector on the left side of the nameplate needs to be wired, it can be accessed from this hole at the bottom, and then it can be led out from the bottom right position. Therefore, if you use it to move the position of the chassis, it may be a little troublesome.
The bottom of the chassis hides several of the most important interfaces - audio interfaces, graphics output interfaces, RJ-45 network interfaces, and power interfaces. However, due to the space and height at the bottom of the chassis, the above interfaces all require custom cables, and the chassis accessories also give us all the switch cables or custom cables we need.
Custom power cord
Adaptor/custom line
The various adapters and custom cables included with the host can meet all of the user's output needs, including HDMI, DP, DVI, and power cables.
After the cables are connected, they need to be led out from the holes on both sides of the bottom of the chassis.
Bottom lead
The advantage of designing the circuit in this way is to keep the host computer as simple as possible. Imagine if it is connected to a lot of lines on the top or back.
The host's various I/O interfaces can be arranged in such a tight chassis space in such a way that the motherboard and chassis must be custom-built.
Official internal structure
The connection between the graphics card and the motherboard needs to use the PCIe extension cable, and because the graphics card GTX1070 is overbearing, it must be impossible to insert it horizontally into the chassis. Vertical insertion can solve the problem of size and display interface at the same time.
In addition, the chassis also retains a certain amount of DIY space, leaving 2.5-inch hard disk space for players to add or replace hard disks. As for the replacement of the video card or CPU, of course, it is also possible to change, but the significance is not, after all, is a combination of GTX1070 + 6700K.
The domestic price of Gigabyte's Wings is 18,999 yuan, nearly 20,000! As for the value is not worth, we discuss after the review.
â—† machine measured: scared me at full load
Connect the power
When the power is on, the controllable LED lights on the top of the chassis will light up. This part of the routine is just like Gigabyte's motherboards and graphics RGB lights. You can use a dedicated software to control and wait for you to see how to play.
startup screen
There are no partitions on the two hard drives. The SSD has 256GB and the HDD has 1TB, which is enough for most players.
CPU & Graphics
The core hardware is the combination of i7-6700K + GTX1070. The memory is a dual 8GB 16GB dual channel motherboard name is Z170AP-00, the market does not sell, specifically for this machine custom motherboard.
Simple running points:
Chess run is divided into about 16,000, in line with the normal level of i7-6700K and dual channel memory, but also shows that the host cooling is enough to make this i7 stable play (if the heat does not meet the requirements, run points will drop Frequency can not be fully loaded, thereby affecting performance).
CPU full load test
The cooling capacity of the host is my best, after all, the small space will certainly not easy to heat, so use the most simple and crude way to make the CPU full load ~ full load limit temperature of 97 °C, higher, but if you do not continue to rise, then still Can work normally ~ When running the CPU temperature and pressure test, the chassis suddenly "啪" - about ~
Wings up!
66666, when the temperature in the chassis touches a set value (80°C), two lids (that is, the wings of light) on the top of the chassis will be deployed instantaneously to increase the heat dissipation and the heat dissipation capacity. And when the temperature does not reach the set value, how can you use your hands to keep it open. Have to say that this design is still very new, at least people brighten up!
SSD Performance Test: Entry Level
Transcend MTS800
The performance of this SSD has only reached the entry-level level, even the limits of the ordinary SATA 3.0 have not touched. However, since the 4K performance has reached the level of 20+ and 90+, the experience will not feel too bad. At the current price of 19,000, it is recommended that the official upgrade of the stronger M.2 solid state will make the overall performance better.
Video card full load test:
After the FURMARK is fully loaded and the temperature curve is stable, the maximum temperature is 74°C. This temperature performance is very good for such a narrow chassis and GTX1070 core. The bottom-up vertical air duct design is very good. The heat generated by the graphics card is discharged smoothly.
Full load noise test:
In addition to the "Wings of Light" at the top to increase the cooling effect, the flow-through fans of the chassis will also increase in speed as the temperature increases. When the graphics card and the CPU are in full load, the overall noise inside the chassis is obviously large. Two grades, with a noise meter test recorded noise value of 64 decibels, sitting next to feel obvious noise noise. However, the chassis is relatively quiet under non-full load. However, taking into account the size and heat dissipation, noise inevitably is a factor that needs to be compromised.
About noise:
0 - 20 db: very quiet, almost imperceptible; 20 -40 db: quiet, like whisper; 40 - 60 db: normal general indoor conversation; 60 - 70 db: noisy: denervated; 70 -90 db: Very noisy, nerve cells are damaged. 90 - 100 db: Intensified noise, impaired hearing; 100 - 120 db: Unbearable, one minute or temporary deafness. 120 decibels or more: Extremely paralysed or fully paralyzed; 300 decibels or more: People with a radius of 20 km cannot repair deafness.
Additional function test:
Ambient LED software
This is a software that is preinstalled in the system. Even if you don't understand other English, you can see what the LED uses. Yes, that's right! It is used to control the RGB LED lights on the top of the chassis.
The software can control the flicker mode of the light effect, such as the constant light mode, the pulse mode, the CPU temperature mode, the circulation mode, etc., and can independently regulate the color.
Manually select the desired lighting effect color
Software can control a lot of parameters, in addition to the choice of color, light mode, you can also choose the time parameters, that is, the speed of the flash, the frequency of discoloration, etc., can also be said to be the most important element of "Wings of Light" One of them.
Lighting demonstration
This LED light, if it can do the entire green heat network area can be lit, the effect should be much better.
Game performance test:
Game performance is also an important indicator to measure the performance of a host, pick a few stand-alone and online games run.
With the GTX1070+i7-6700K, almost all hot games currently on the market can be rolled at 1080P. 4K certainly can't pack the tickets, but as long as the special effects are reduced a little bit, 4K running most games are stress-free. of.
â—†PConline evaluation room summary:
After the complete evaluation, the advantages and disadvantages of this Gigabyte Wings host are clear.
First of all, the biggest bright spot is of course the design of the cooling system of the host. When the internal temperature of the chassis reaches the set value, the “wing of light†at the top will automatically expand, increasing the exhaust volume to increase the cooling efficiency. As for this setting value, it cannot be set manually. After many tests and studies, it should be about 80°C.
The second highlight is the host's ultra-small size + high-end configuration, only the mini-bag size can accommodate the GTX1070 + i7-6700 with the mix and make them all stable work, in fact, it is difficult to tune.
The third bright spot is the controllable LED lighting effect on the top of the main unit. For such a small steel gun machine with a particularly small appearance and scientific sense, the LED lamp is the crowning touch.
Again, the wire layout of the host is also very clever. By means of patch cords, flying leads, custom motherboards, etc., all the devices that need to be routed can be routed from the bottom of the chassis, which greatly improves the simplicity and embellishment. The design style of the host itself.
As for the disadvantages, of course, there are also, first of all, the high price, for players who only pay attention to performance and price, they will despise this host, because they are not willing to pay for the cost of design, but also a type of DIY circle. It's no surprise that it's arrogant.
At the price of 19,000, the entry-level SSD should be replaced with a better model.
At present, the high-end (high-priced) host market is still quite blank. Gigabyte advances into this market as a high-end product on the premise of having core accessories. This step is very sensible. This host may not sell very well, but It is significant to build brand influence and brand height. After the consumption concept and consumption level in the country have been raised, they will gradually accept products with excellent design elements and pay a premium for their design. At this time, GIGABYTE, with its own reputation and technology accumulation, will receive the revenues sown in the same year.
