For those new to computer installation, is it better to buy the board u package or separately?

In order to save money, the first choice is to use discrete chips + motherboard + self-purchased heat sink. It is highly flexible and cheap. Anyway, the CPU is not fake. In order to save worry and save money at the same time, choose board U, which is perfect in one step. The disadvantage is that some combinations may not be available. If you buy U and boards separately, if it is not a special combination, then you are rich.

The graphics card memory is relatively easy to solve, but the motherboard and CPU are not easy to talk about. I even saw the configuration sheets of i59400F and B450 motherboards. In the eyes of insiders, this may be a joke, but among newbies, they find that they cannot use this configuration after buying it.

That is an embarrassing thing. Today, the author will give newbies some popular science on how to choose between a motherboard and a CPU. Let’s first talk about the configuration issues of i59400F and B450 motherboards at the beginning. Not all motherboards and CPUs can be used together.

i59400F is an Intel Core processor, while the B450 motherboard is a motherboard based on an AMD chipset. The two cannot be mixed and matched. Intel processors can only be paired with Intel chipset motherboards, and the same applies to AMD processors. Therefore, if you buy i59400F and B450 motherboard together, you will not be able to use them at all.

Intel processors and Intel chipset motherboards. If you really find it difficult to distinguish the relationship between the motherboard and the CPU, an easy way is to directly purchase a motherboard + CPU set. You don’t have to worry about buying it back. If you don't use it, just look at the price and look for performance, but the more expensive it is, the better the performance will be.

This is currently a popular way to buy a motherboard and CPU. It is generally cheaper than buying a motherboard + CPU separately, and it can be regarded as a means of bundled sales. i59400F Kit Next, let’s talk about the matching of the motherboard and CPU. A good U and a good board are words that people often talk about when buying motherboards and CPUs.

For consumers, the performance of the motherboard and CPU must match. It is reasonable for mid-range CPUs to be matched with mid-range motherboards, and high-end CPUs to be matched with high-end motherboards. Motherboard CPUs in the mid-range market are generally the main consumer force. The CPUs involved are Intel's 9th generation Core i5 processors and AMD's Ryzen 5.

If you want to match these two types of CPUs, Intel's ninth-generation Core i5 processor needs to choose the same mid-range B360 or B365 chipset motherboard, just like the i59400F mentioned earlier. For AMD Ryzen 5, you should also choose a mid-range B450 motherboard.

For high-end CPUs like Intel's 9th generation Core i7 and i9, it is best not to use mid-range B360 or B365 chipset motherboards, but to use high-end Z390 chipset motherboards to show their strength. AMD sharp The same applies to Dragon 7 and Ryzen 9 processors, which require the use of X470 chipset or X570 chipset motherboards.

Instead of B450 motherboard. So the question is, can high-end CPUs really not be used with mid-range chipset motherboards? The answer for newbies is that it is possible but not necessary. On the one hand, the power supply design of the motherboard is the key to whether the CPU can exert its capabilities. The power supply of mid-range motherboards generally cannot meet the needs of high-end CPUs.

Only some specially designed motherboards for power supply can do this. This knowledge is difficult for newbies to master. On the other hand, it is even simpler. The prices of mid-range chipset motherboards with enhanced power supply design are similar to those of low-end high-end chipset boards. Have you ever heard of the beggar version of graphics cards that is more cost-effective? This is actually the same, so for newbies, it is better to buy according to the concept of good U and good board.
