Hi everyone, I'm Xiao Jiang. Let me tell you something real today about what tricks and tricks iron makers can do for you on hardware. Of course, what I have said is no secret to iron manufacturers, and it will not cause them any harm, even if you are shocked after I say this, you should still buy it if you just need it. After all, it is impossible to avoid them.

First of all, main board. In past few years, some large manufacturers often invited some trolls, and then said that main board of a neighboring village producer. As for workmanship, it will shrink directly. for you. It's same motherboard model. When you bought it before and then bought it a few months later, there was a chip missing somewhere on board, and one or two capacitors were missing, but he didn't give that board a new model.

What will memory manufacturer do then? The simplest thing on chips. At beginning I wanted to promote that memory of my series is very economical. I specifically used memory for you that can reach a frequency of 4000, but I marked it as 2400 when I left, and then you bought it out for a while. found that 2400 memory can exceed 4000. Isn't it profitable! Then there will usually be friends on different forums telling each other, and then this series of memories will become popular. Then after a while, when some people buy this series of memory again, they will find that it is very difficult for me to exceed 3600. Is it because I cannot exceed it? In fact, particles were secretly replaced by you. This is beginning of losing money and making money. If you are making money, you must start making money.

What's even more frightening is that price of memory chips is almost same as stocks. The price fluctuates a lot. Sometimes it goes up, and it doesn't have much of an impact, but when price goes down, memory makers will start to feel uncomfortable. , so what to do? I have a few pellets in my hand with a purchase price of 500, and then I go to buy pellets with a purchase price of 200, and we go out together. So price looks very low at first glance, but in fact content inside has been replaced. Under normal use, there may not be problems, but once you overclock, problems will easily arise (I personally bought two sets of same series of memory from a certain brand, one particle of magnesium, one from Hynix).

Then there is a video card. A video card is somewhat similar to a motherboard. In beginning, an economical solution was launched, and quality control of heat dissipation is good. But after buying for a while, Manufacturer will feel that he sells a lot, but I earn less from it. Well, what to do, cut off one or two heat pipes, and replace fan with a foundry one. In best case, temperature during use will be higher, noise will be louder, and performance will not change.

Then there is a solid state. Solid water is deeper than memory. Basically, no matter how you send it for testing, no matter how much you try, how do you know that one that manufacturer sends you for testing is not specifically selected. , and rest are all white chips, black chips, or even used disassembly chips that ordinary users don't know. Then there may be some manufacturers who started to really promote original pellets, and then they really use original pellets, but when price of pellets is greatly reduced, operation is basically same as memory. buy, it's almost like a lottery, you can't lose.

As for power supply, then there was a typical example. The popular power supply of some treasure should have been removed from shelves or renamed a long time ago. After all, one solution corresponds to one model and one series of power supplies. However, after many changes in plans, this power supply still retains original model. why not change name? Because reputation has already gone out, if you change it, you will have to start all over again, so that's it.

Seeing this, you may feel like there is nothing to compress, you have no room for heatsink and chassis to shrink! Don't worry, there really is. Take a heatsink for example: if you reduce fins from 49 to 47 and replace fan with a different solution or foundry, difference in usage may be a few degrees, but its cost will indeed decrease. Next comes water cooling, in principle same operation. The cooling radiator shrinks from 33mm to 28mm, fan is replaced by a casting one, and cooling head is replaced by another casting one. The performance is slightly lower, and difference in daily use is not big, but cost can be reduced.

Then there is a case, matter is nothing more than a decrease in thickness of shell by a few tenths of a millimeter. It may not save much on a crate, but as with explosive, it sells hundreds of thousands a year, which saves a lot of money Now you usually can't take a ruler to measure 0.1 0.2 mm, so basically no way to avoid it.

To sum up, besides processor, if manufacturer of these accessories really wants to keep cost down, there are many more ways to keep cost down for you. Why not buy? When eventually there are only one or two manufacturers left, this will create a situation where CPU is now dominant player, but latter will not reduce you, but if you raise price without increasing quantity, you can only take a bite. shoot and buy.
