——Asus ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO motherboard
Motherboard We use the Asus ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO motherboard，ASUS ROG M13H abbreviated，This motherboard is a new product of 500 series motherboards released by Asus this year，Adopt 14+2 power supply module，Can output 90A of current in a single item，Equipped with Asus AI Intelligent Optimization 2.0 module，Provide users with a better experience。
Asus ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO motherboard still adopts a full-coverage armor design this time，Thick metal protective armor is prepared in the VRM area as well as in the M.2 and South Bridge chipsets.，Enough to cope with the heat dissipation needs of high-heat hardware and eleventh-generation Core，Ensure the whole machine runs stably at high load。
Asus ROG MAXIMUS XIII HERO motherboard with the latest WiFi 6E on board (802.11ax)Wireless network card，Built-in Bluetooth 5.2，Provide dual 2.5 G wired network cards，Two Thunderbolt 4 interfaces are also prepared in the I/O area，And a very rich USB interface。
——NZXT Kraken Siren Z73
In order to enable the performance of Core i9-11900K to be fully utilized，This time we also chose NZXT Kraken Z73, a 360MM water-cooled radiator, to ensure the CPU temperature stability。This radiator uses a very durable fine nylon mesh cover wrapped design liquid conduction rubber tube，Can effectively prevent leakage or damage of the radiator due to accidents。
NZXT Kraken Siren Z73 is also very good in terms of water cooling head，Equipped with a 2.36-inch bright LCD screen，Can display the CPU temperature in real time，You can also use CAM software to DIY the pattern，Very diverse gameplay。
——Xingu Kaiyuan T1
In terms of the selection of the chassis, we used an innovative product that has just been released recently.：Xingu Kaiyuan T1，This case can support E-ATX motherboards at most，Standard ATX 3.0 design，There is no problem with putting down 360MM water cooling at the same time，In order to facilitate installation of this chassis, many tool-free quick-removal designs similar to fan brackets are also provided.。
Xingu Kaiyuan T1's biggest improvement，It's the layout inside the chassis，Use the side motherboard design，Therefore, hardware such as graphics cards also need to be installed vertically，This benefit is that it can bring unique visual sense，At the same time, combined with the excellent air duct design of the internal chassis，Can fully dissipate internal hardware，lower temperature。
——Seagate Cool FireCuda 520 SSD
This time Intel's 11th-generation Core has fully supported PCIe 4.0，So this time we chose Seagate Cool FireCuda, which belongs to the PCIe 4.0 protocol 520 SSD for testing。It is the industry's first SSD that supports PCIe 4.0，Has twice the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0，Can bring stronger performance to gamers and content creators。
Seagate FireCuda 520 The SSD uses Toshiba's original 96-layer stacked BiCS4 3D TLC and Qunlian PS5016-E16 main control chip，It is the first PCIe 4.0 product，This product has three capacity options: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB，Most users can meet their needs。
Intel Core i9-11900K performance test
The test platform has been introduced，Let's conduct a formal test below，This time we will perform single-threaded processor、Multi-threaded、Content creation、3D MARK and other dimensions test。
——Single-threaded testing
First, we conduct single-threaded processor test，Test items include Super PI、CINEBENCH R15 single thread and CINEBENCH R20 single thread。
This time, the 11th-generation Core has not been greatly upgraded in frequency，More optimization through architecture，It also improves single-thread performance a lot，Intel Core i9-11900K has made great progress in these three tests，Especially Super PI，Come to the unprecedented 7s，Achieved the 6.53s feat。In the two versions of CINEBENCH, Intel Core i9-11900K has also been lifted by 19% in the single-threaded test of Intel Core i9-10900K.，It just so happens to be basically consistent with the 19% IPC improvement claimed by the 11th generation Core。
——Multi-threaded testing：In multithreaded testing we will test Fritz Chess Benchmark、CINEBENCH R15 multi-threading and CINEBENCH R20 multi-threading results。
Multi-threading is still the processor with more cores and more popular，Therefore, the 8-core, 16-thread Intel Core i9-11900K is generally not as good as the 10-core, 20-thread Intel Core i9-10900K，But the performance between the two is very close，If you don't use too many cores for CPU，Then the 11th-generation Core with stronger single-core performance will obviously be more suitable for you。
——Content creation test
Content creation is very popular nowadays，We also tested this，Test items include X264/X265 of the decoding class，As well as POV-Ray and Blender renderings, UL Procyon, the new Benchmark test program for productivity software。
There is not much difference between the test results of content creation and multi-threaded testing，In this regard, processors with many core threads have more advantages.，Content creators can also be regarded as practical applications of multi-threading。But besides the product itself，Some special content creator software will also pay more attention to optimization，That is the ecology we mentioned earlier，Intel's 11th Generation Core has strengthened AI acceleration and introduced the AVX 512 instruction set this time，If your software supports these special instructions，Then Intel's 11th-generation Core can show true performance。
Next, we are testing professional video editing software such as AE or Pr，Use UL Procyon, Benchmark test program for Photoshop，Adobe's latest version of Photoshop and Lightroom Classic can be evaluated，Import and export of images covered，Processing filters，Merge layers、Batch processing and other contents，Basically, all the items that consume a lot of calculation in PS are detected.，Finally given a rating。
Intel's 11th-generation Core desktop-level processor uses a new memory editor，So the memory performance can be better，In these Adobe software，Very tests memory capabilities，So Intel Core i9-11900K finally performed well in UL Procyon。
——3D MARK test
Below we are testing 3D MARK，Physical testing using Fire Strike project，And CPU tests for Time Spy project。
3D MARK test results Intel Core i9-11900K's score is very close to Intel Core i9-10900K，It seems that this software still attaches great importance to core threads，However, Intel Core i9-11900K still relies on single-core performance，A lot of gaps have been brought back。
