How about the assembly machine? ——Hot topics and data analysis in 2024
Recently, with the fluctuation of hardware prices and the release of new technologies, DIY PCs have once again become a hot topic in the technology circle. This article will combine the hot content of the entire network in the past 10 days, analyze the advantages and disadvantages of assembly machines from the perspectives of performance, cost, market trends, etc., and provide structured data for reference.
1. Assembled machine vs branded machine: core comparison
| Contrast Dimensions | Assembly machine | Brand machine |
|---|---|---|
| price | High cost performance (save 20%-40% with the same configuration) | Including brand premium and service fee |
| Performance | Can be freely combined with high-performance accessories | Some models have hardware shrinkage |
| After-sales service | You need to contact each accessory manufacturer yourself | One-stop service for the whole machine |
| Upgrade space | Completely autonomous | Restricted by brand |
2. Popular installed configuration trends in 2024
According to e-commerce platform and forum data, the hardware combinations that have attracted the most attention recently are as follows:
| budget range | CPU Popular Choices | Popular choices for graphics cards | Estimated price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4000-6000 yuan | AMD R5 7500F | RTX 4060/RX 7600 | 4500-5800 yuan |
| 6000-8000 yuan | Intel i5-13600KF | RTX 4070 | 6500-7800 yuan |
| More than 8,000 yuan | AMD R7 7800X3D | RTX 4080 Super | 8500-12000 yuan |
3. Recent hardware price fluctuations (last 10 days)
| Accessory type | price trend | Key influencing factors |
|---|---|---|
| graphics card | NVIDIA 40 series price cut by 3-8% | New driver release + inventory pressure |
| memory | DDR5 prices continue to drop | Domestic pellet production capacity increased |
| SSD | PCIe4.0 models generally dropped | QLC particle costs drop |
4. Core advantages of assembly machines
1.Extremely cost-effective: Avoid brand-name machine tax and get higher performance with the same budget. For example, the recently popular RTX 4070 Super assembly plan is about 1,500 yuan cheaper than a branded machine with the same configuration.
2.Hardware transparency: You can choose each accessory independently to avoid problems such as "shrunk power supply" and "insufficient heat dissipation" that are common with brand-name machines. Actual measurements by Tieba users show that the heat dissipation performance of assembly machines at the same price is on average 30% higher than that of brand-name machines.
3.Upgrade flexibility: As the demand for AI computing power increases, the graphics card can be replaced or memory added at any time. The main test of UP at Station B shows that the upgrade cost of assembled machines is 40%-60% lower than that of branded machines.
5. Things to note when installing a new phone
1.Compatibility check: Special attention needs to be paid to the interface matching between the motherboard and the CPU (such as AMD AM5/LGA1700). 30% of the recent rollover cases in Tieba are due to this.
2.Power selection: It is recommended to reserve 20% power margin. It is recommended to use ATX3.0 power supply for RTX40 series graphics cards.
3.Cooling solution: According to Tieba voting, the ratio of air cooling to water cooling for mid-to-high-end configurations has reached 4:6.
6. Summary and suggestions
In 2024, the assembled machine market will present the characteristics of "high performance + affordable price", which is especially suitable for gamers and content creators. Although it requires investment in learning costs, the performance improvement and upgrade freedom it brings far exceed that of brand-name machines. It is recommended to pay attention to the hardware promotions during 618. It is expected that there will be greater discounts on graphics cards and SSDs.
