Nakon nekoliko ploča baziranih na Intel čipsetima, na red nam konačno dolazi jedna iz ASRocka namijenjena AMD procesorima. X470 Master SLI spada među povoljnije X470 ploče, te je direktna konkurentica Asusovoj koju smo nedavno testirali – TUF X470-PLUS Gaming. Master SLI donosi jednostavan dizajn crno sivih tonova, s adekvatnom opremom za klasu u kojoj se nalazi, a dodatak u obliku pasivnog hladnjaka za M.2 SSD je uvijek lijepo vidjeti – za razliku od Asusove ploče koja to nema. Što još sve ima i kako radi čitajte u članku.
ASRock X470 Master SLI – prvi dio
Nakon nekoliko ploča baziranih na Intel čipsetima, na red nam konačno dolazi jedna iz ASRocka namijenjena AMD procesorima. X470 Master SLI spada među povoljnije X470 ploče, te je direktna konkurentica Asusovoj koju smo nedavno testirali – TUF X470-PLUS Gaming. Master SLI donosi jednostavan dizajn crno sivih tonova, s adekvatnom opremom za klasu u kojoj se nalazi, a dodatak u obliku pasivnog hladnjaka za M.2 SSD je uvijek lijepo vidjeti – za razliku od Asusove ploče koja to nema.
Ploča je pakirana u standardnu kartonsku kutiju horizontalno orijentiranu, koja je u sivo crnim tonovima. Na kutiji se kao i obično nalaze sve relevantne informacije. Unutar kutije je ploča smještena u tanki kartonski omotač, antistatičku vrećicu, i tipično za ASRock – položena u stiropjenu i privezana vezicama. Bundle nije najbogatiji i zapravo je sasvim u skladu s cjenovnim razredom. Tako u kutiji nalazimo upute za korisnike, odvojene za hardver i softver, zatim DVD s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, metalnu zaštitu za stražnje I/O portove, dva SATA kabela, dva dodatna vijka za M.2 hladnjak, te SLI mostić za dvije grafičke kartice.
Ploča je standardnih ATX dimenzija, sjajno crnog PCB- a prošaranog sivim linijama, sivih hladnjaka te crnih plastičnih elemenata. Odlično se uklapa se u moderne trendove tamnijih i ne nakićenih ploča. Stražnji I/O portovi i PCB ne kojem se nalazi I/O jedinica su pokriveni plastičnim pokrovom koji vizualno malo podiže ploču, pa se doima i skupljom nego što stvarno jest. Za šarenilo se brinu LED-ice koje su smještene samo oko X470 čipseta. Layout ploče je solidan, nema nelogičnosti, svi konektori su smješteni uz rubove, a i smještaj oba M.2 socketa je vrlo dobar.
Rebrasti hladnjaci na VRM jedinici, tj. na MOSFET-ima su prosječnih dimenzija i solidno obavljaju svoj posao sve dok ne krenemo s overclockingom. Tada ih je i više no poželjno prisilno hladiti strujanjem zraka. Hladnjak na PCB-u je rebrast i djelomično šupalj, te je solidno dimenzioniran. Samo pri dugotrajnim se opterećenjima zna zagrijati. U kućištu je tako poželjno osigurati dobar propuh, pogotovo ako želimo overclockirati, a na ploči se nalazi ukupno pet 4-pinskih konektora za ventilatore koji su dobro raspoređeni po rubovima ploča.
