Where is sand barracuda mainly found? When is it in season? What is the current price?

Sand Pickerel

Distributed from the Ryukyu Islands of Japan to the northern part of the South China Sea in the northwest Pacific Ocean. It mainly inhabits sandy and muddy sea areas or sandy land around coral reefs. The inhabiting depth is 0~20 meters.

The reproductive period is in spring in the Beibu Gulf of the South China Sea and in late spring to midsummer in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea. They lay floating eggs, which are oval in shape. They start to swim to the shore in late spring in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and disperse to feed after spawning; they hibernate in the deep sea.

The price is unclear, but they are usually made into ready-to-eat dried fish fillets.

How to choose accessories for a micro host? How to install ITX? A complete record of a girl's ITX installation

Recently, I am planning to add a computer to my home for my sister to use. The main function is to use it for office work, iQiyi and light photo/video editing. I have included an ITX host in my plan. ITX is an abbreviation for compact/mini host. It was originally designed to solve the problem of small office space but needing to use computers, such as compact offices and small study rooms. This article will tell me how I selected and assembled an ITX host, and used an iPad with a PITAKA bracket to convert it into a secondary screen. It will give you a reference for ITX installation.

First of all, you need to clarify your installation needs.

If your budget is extremely low, installing ITX is not a good idea.

Because the ITX motherboard, chassis, radiator, etc. all need to be simplified and designed for heat dissipation in a very small space, under the same configuration, ITX will definitely be more expensive than ordinary-sized ones. If you have a very low budget, it is recommended to install the computer in an ordinary chassis.

Take my ITX as an example. After clarifying the use of office, iQiyi and light photo/video editing, the independent graphics card was first passed. Although the price of graphics cards has dropped, it still costs money, and it will increase the heat dissipation of the small chassis. The integrated graphics card can already meet the actual use needs of girls. In view of the actual work needs of girls, I will not assemble a feminine host that is too good for show, and try to focus on practical work. So the final decision list is as follows.

Monitor: innocn 27 inches + Beihu E560 bracket

The monitor used this time is innocn's 27-inch 4K monitor.

In terms of workmanship details and materials, the overall texture is quite good, and it feels no different from the BenQ that costs just over 3,000 yuan...and it also has the eye protection reminder function.

The interfaces are rich and practical, with two USB 3.0 expansion ports for connecting a mouse and keyboard, and dual HDMI, DP, and C ports. It has also passed the German Rhine certification, so the blue light control is reassuring.

Supporting HDR400, 100% RGB, 98% DCI-P3, E 2 and with 65W reverse charging via port C, this is obviously a monitor that is suitable for desktop computers and external devices with multiple functions!

In plain English, you can use it as a desktop monitor when connected to a host. When you need to connect an iPad, Switch, or MacBook, it can be used as a display screen. You can use a C to C cable to display and charge. The standard mode can highly restore the color of the Mac, and there are adobe RGB and sRGB modes that can be switched to meet the requirements of printing or network material output.

The standard stand of the monitor also supports lifting and 90-degree rotation, but considering the future needs of connecting game consoles and watching videos, it is more appropriate to use a monitor stand.

After all, with the stand, the only two forms that can be achieved are as shown in the picture above. You need to sit upright in the office, so the monitor is in the mode on the left.

When playing games or watching videos, you can use an ergonomic chair in half-lying mode, which requires the mode shown in the right picture. This is something that only a monitor stand can do.

This time I chose the Beihu monitor stand again, the model is the new E560.

The new E560 uses a mechanical aluminum arm, which has better overall support and weight. It is a bracket for medium and large screens, supporting up to 15 kg 35-inch monitors.

In addition to load-bearing lifting, the new E560 also uses a new core spring for which Beiqiu has obtained a national patent. Its main technical feature is the mechanical spring constant force technology, which makes lifting and lowering smoother.

The advantage of being smoother is that it is easier and quicker to adjust, and you can adjust it as you like without being too deliberate.

Moreover, if it is used by girls, it is also relatively easy to adjust, and it does not require as much effort as traditional monitor stands.

In order to make it easier for girls to use and adjust, I made a special comparison before purchasing and found that among the current monitor stands, the Beiji E560 has very good performance in stability, supporting weight and smoothness. With the same performance, I have not encountered a product with a better cost-effectiveness than it.

In the actual color screen shot, it can be found that the match between the innocn 27-inch monitor and the MacBook Air is very high. In the same photo, when both have the brightness turned up to full, the colors are almost the same.

Also in this color, the overall brightness of the 400-nit innocn is slightly higher than that of the MacBook.

This kind of red is very challenging for the color reproduction of the display, and we can see that innocn did a good job.

You can also refer to other comparison pictures. I am satisfied with the degree of restoration of Mac colors. Coupled with the 65W reverse charging, it has definitely become my new choice. I suggest that users who have requirements for color and need laptop or Switch external devices can consider this monitor. The color and charging are perfectly solved, and the price is also good.

PITAKA Tablet Magnetic Desktop + Kevlar Protective Case

Now that we have talked about the monitor, we have to talk about the most satisfying iPad accessory this year, which is the PITAKA kit that turns the iPad Pro into an auxiliary monitor. Why do I say auxiliary monitor?

First of all, not everyone's desktop environment or office environment allows you to use dual screens. So sometimes you want to play games while reading guides, or watch a drama while chatting, what should you do? At this time, my iPad comes in handy!

Believe me, there are not many stands that can rotate and adjust your iPad Pro at any angle, and you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about the risk of it falling. PITAKA's quality is really reassuring. Just suck it up and it will turn into a rotatable auxiliary display in seconds.

PITAKA's iPad Pro Kevlar case has a built-in magnetic plate that can be well combined with the magnetic bracket. Of course, if you need to protect the screen of your iPad Pro using the Kevlar case, you must use it with a magnetic front cover.

If you have other tablet devices at home, PITAKA also considerately provides a magnetic plate. Just stick it on the back of another device to achieve the same effect.

The fit and hole fineness are very high. I would believe you if you said this is the original shell, and the feel is also excellent.

The overall texture is also relatively light and thin, without any bulky feel.

There is a C-port power interface on the base of the magnetic bracket, which can provide 7.5w wireless charging for Apple and 15w for Samsung. When I sit in front of the computer, I like to put my earphones in this position to charge, which is very convenient.

The magnetic base provides two angle locking points for portrait and landscape orientation, supports 360-degree infinite rotation, and angle adjustment from -5 to 32.5 to satisfy the user's free adjustment of the tablet's viewing angle.

When using the iPad as a secondary screen to watch movies, the horizontal screen mode is the most comfortable. When using it to read guides, it is more comfortable to use text/web pages in vertical mode.

You see, the iPad and the monitor can maintain a right angle of 90 degrees to the ground, instead of being used at a tilted angle. Isn’t it great?

CPU + motherboard + cooling: AMD 5600G / ASRock B550M ITX / Jonsbo HX6200D

For ITX hosts, you must choose a small ITX motherboard.

I recommend using a CPU with integrated graphics, so that you can remove the graphics card to save space and heat dissipation. The radiator should also be selected according to the size of the chassis, otherwise there will be problems such as blocking the memory or being too big to fit.

The 5600G core graphics performance is better than the latest Intel 12th generation, and the price is only 13XX yuan, which is 900 yuan less than the 12600k, so it becomes the first choice.

The most cost-effective pairing for 5600G is with the B550 chip, but there are very few ITX motherboards that can support B550. In terms of cost-effectiveness and brand choice, there is basically no suspense when choosing ASRock, which costs just over 800.

In terms of heat dissipation, the original radiator of 5600G is too plain, and considering the requirement of slightly transparent chassis, a little light is still very important. So I also bought Jonsbo HX6200D for about 200 yuan.

In terms of heat dissipation, the original radiator of 5600G is too plain. Combined with the requirement of slightly transparent chassis, it is still very important to have a little light. So I also bought the Jonsbo HX6200D for about 200 yuan. The overall height is only 63mm, with a 12cm fan with dynamic hydraulic bearings, and 6 sets of heat pipes, which supports up to TDP200W, and is equipped with Violent Bear silicone. These configurations show that although the HX6200D is priced at about 200 yuan, its performance is definitely not an entry-level radiator. If it is properly matched with the chassis, it will have a very good performance.

The overall heat generation of 5600G is not high. Even if it is placed in a small case, at room temperature of 28 degrees, the standby temperature is 47 degrees and the motherboard temperature is 43 degrees. When running games such as Genshin Impact and LOL, the CPU temperature is around 65 degrees. When the software is baking, the CPU temperature will reach nearly 80 degrees. Considering that Genshin Impact is already the maximum load state of this host, we did not consider adding heat dissipation to the case.

Memory-Lexar Pluto 3600Hz 8G*2

There is nothing special about choosing memory for ITX. Just pay attention to whether the height of the memory will conflict with the radiator. The heat dissipation effect will be better with a vest.

Lexar Pluto's Blade is the memory used in another console at home, and I have been very satisfied with it during long-term use.

Although the 5600G is basically the strongest integrated graphics card in its class, the shortcoming of ITX is still the graphics card. When the graphics card uses the memory as video memory, how big is the memory gap between 3200 and 3600? This is what I thought before buying, so I took this opportunity to buy two 3200 Pluto Blades and two 3600 Pluto Armors, ready to do a comparison test.

For the game test, I only played Genshin Impact, and I played League of Legends, plus 3D mark and some other software. The purpose was to see how much impact the memory of 3200 and 3600 would have on games and office software under 5600G.

The test specific setup is also described below.

League of Legends

League of Legends uses 4K resolution, medium image quality, and ARAM mode. After entering the game, MSI Afterburner is used to record the average frame rate until the end.

Genshin Impact

The original God has 4K picture quality and medium picture quality. Use Chongyun to run back and forth between two fixed locations in Liyue Harbor. After 10 round trips, take the average frame rate obtained.

3D mark

3D mark is mainly tested using the three modes shown in the figure above.

CINEBENCH R15 and R23

CINEBENCH uses the Cinema 4D special effects software engine developed for the film and television industry, and is a very convincing CPU and graphics card testing system. The first test of R15 uses the CPU to render a high-precision 3D scene image, and only runs once under a single processor and single thread. If the system has multiple processor cores or supports multi-threading, only one thread is used for the first run, and all processor cores and threads are used for the second run. The second test is for the OpenGL performance of the graphics card.

Cinebench R23 is designed to target the overall advancement of CPU and rendering technology in recent years, providing a more accurate measurement of how well Cinema 4D can take advantage of multiple CPU cores and the capabilities of modern processors available to the average user.

The final results are summarized above. Before the test, I thought the gap would be around 10%, but the actual improvement was very large. The frame rate of League of Legends increased by 15%, the frame rate of Genshin Impact increased by 23%, the lowest 11% and the highest 20% in the three 3D mark modes, and the gap in CINEBENCH 15 openGL was close to 30%.

It has always been said that AMD has slightly higher memory requirements, but I didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between 3200 and 3600. I didn't know until I tested it, and I was shocked.

Here I have to talk about the two 3600 memory cards of Lexar Pluto. I checked the reviews on the Internet and it is said that the memory cards of Pluto are all made of Samsung B-DIE. The advantage of Samsung B-DIE particles lies in their excellent stability and overclocking potential. For the computer used by girls, overclocking is not important. Stability and power are the core. At this price, it seems that it is really difficult to find memory with the same cost performance.

Therefore, friends who use AMD, the memory frequency must be as high as possible.

Hard Drive-Lexar NM800 1T

TBW: The total amount of data written corresponding to the theoretical life of a solid-state drive.

PCIe3.0/4.0: Interface protocol, mainstream computers should choose 4.0 interface.

Warranty time: 3 years is recommended as a starting point, 5 years is better.

Capacity: It is recommended to start with 1TB to achieve the best speed of the model.

Purchase channel: It is recommended to purchase from the official flagship store.

In addition to following the above points, ITX users are also advised to choose products with good heat dissipation to reduce heat generation.

The Lexar NM800 I bought this time is an upgraded version of the NM620 that I used as a secondary drive. The 1TB version has a read and write rating of 7400MB and 5800MB respectively, and a TBW lifespan of 3000TB. The main controller uses InnoGrit Rainier's IG5236, which is almost the best solution on the market.

Because the 5600G is used, this U leaves the bandwidth to the graphics card, leaving only PCIE3.0 for the solid state, but why is the NM800 with PCIE4.0 still used? First, PCIE4.0 and 3.0 products are on a 3.0 motherboard, and the 4.0 product will obviously have a better speed; secondly, the 4.0 product does not reach the full speed when used, so the heat will be much lower, which can effectively reduce the heat dissipation of the small chassis. For example, the picture above shows the speed of this Lexar NM800 on my machine, with a reading speed of 3733MB/s and a writing speed of 3462MB/s. In actual use, the heat is very low. After the speed test, I touched the radiator with my hand and it was only slightly warm.

Power Supply - Corsair SFX 600

The limit of ITX, most of them only support SFX standard power supply. SFX and ATX are both power supply standards. ATX is the common computer limit power supply, and SFX is a variant of ordinary ATX. The power supply has the same output voltage, but the size is much smaller, suitable for small chassis. ITX is generally only produced by larger power supply manufacturers, and the price is more expensive than the same level of ATX power supply.

This time I bought the Corsair 600W SF600 Platinum Edition. Not only does it use all-Japanese capacitors, it is also a fully modular power supply. The matching fully modular power cords are also covered with protective covers, and the overall texture is very good.

It also comes with a conversion bracket, so it can be used in an ATX case. Providing a seven-year warranty is also a sign of brand confidence.

The core reason for choosing this power supply is the requirement for quietness. SF600 supports the fan stop function under low load, which is a reflection of a first-class power supply manufacturer. This has also been my standard for choosing power supplies for many years.

Chassis-Jonsbo BO 100

The most important thing about ITX is the chassis. A chassis determines the expandability (hard drive installation position), performance limit (heat dissipation and graphics card size) and aesthetics of ITX. Unfortunately, most of the ITX products on the market are very masculine in design, and none of them can attract girls. Later, I saw Jonsbo's BO100 and decided to buy it in an instant.

Let's talk about expandability first. BO100 provides installation space for two 2.5-inch hard drives and one 3.5-inch hard drive. In the case that the current motherboard comes with an M2 SSD, adding an additional mechanical hard drive is completely sufficient. For users who don't like mechanical hard drives, two external SATA SSDs are also completely sufficient.

The maximum supported radiator is within 185.5MM, so there is no problem with installing a traditional tower radiator. For graphics cards, the length does not exceed 207MM and the thickness does not exceed 48MM. As mentioned earlier, I will not use ITX to install graphics cards at the same time, so I did not use a tower radiator.

In terms of heat dissipation, there are heat dissipation vents on the left and right sides of BO100, and a 12CM fan can be installed on the back. Because the heat generated by the 5600G itself is not high, and the Jonsbo HX6200 radiator is also very powerful, the downward pressure wind force just blows the heat out in three directions of left, right and back, so there is no need to worry about the temperature.

Snapdragon Gaming X2S

As for the desk, I had a 2400*700 desk in my study. The board was made of elm and was 5cm thick. It would have been a pity to throw it away and replace it with a lift-able desk. However, since I already had lift-able desks in my office and other houses, I kept the desk.

As for the chair, we fully respected the girl's choice and let her choose her favorite product on JD.com. In the end, she chose the X2S from Xiaoqi Esports.

At first glance, the X2S is a gaming chair, but it is not that simple. It is a gaming chair in the guise of an ergonomic chair!

Um... that doesn't seem right. This should be an ergonomic chair in the guise of an e-sports chair! Look at its red and black combination. The red part is very subtle and the proportions are appropriate. It is undoubtedly the CHH color scheme.

The design of the foot pad is also unexpected. The girl is 168cm tall and the pad is just above the ankle, so the support position is very restrictive. But the best part is that the end of the foot pad is not fixed, but can be moved flexibly within a small range, which is convenient for people of different heights to adjust and fine-tune after the foot pad is put on.

With five-star feet and silent wheels, you don't have to worry about disturbing your neighbors downstairs. The armrests on both sides are height-adjustable, which can meet the needs of users of different heights to play games or watch tablets on the chair. The back of the chair is a breathable mesh, so it won't be stuffy in the summer. These are all better than traditional gaming chairs.

The headrest is adjustable in height, and its shape is to better support the cervical spine, but there is no adjustment for the tilt angle.

Although this chair back is a traditional three-back design, the left and right side backrests do not have much room for movement. There is only a slight range of movement, which will not affect the support of the back. Moreover, the problem that the traditional three-back back is not friendly to thin people does not appear in this Xiaoqi E-sports chair. The girl has a thin body shape and it is very comfortable to use, and she feels that the breathability is very good.

The upper back design is actually really nice and breathable. It looks very cool and provides very good support and comfort.

A small design that deserves praise is that there is a small foldable hook at the back of the headrest, which is very suitable for hanging headphones or clothes.

The lower back support part uses a relatively raised mesh design, but the mesh is relatively soft when you actually sit on it, so it is not very uncomfortable. It can provide good support for the waist and the comfort is quite good.

The seat cushion does not use the traditional mesh surface, but is replaced with a sponge cushion. This is more beneficial for many girls because mesh cushions are generally harder and tighter to ensure that heavy users do not sink excessively, and girls do not feel very good when sitting on them. Sponge cushions are more friendly to girls and lighter users.

Daily use status~~

I personally think this product launched by Xiaoqi E-sports is quite rare. It is also a chair that combines the concept of e-sports chair with the performance of ergonomic chair very well.

In the past, common gaming chairs lacked ergonomic designs, provided weak support in all aspects, and were relatively warm, which was not very friendly to the waist and cervical spine over time.

Ergonomic chairs are relatively traditional in design. This time, Xiaoqi Esports has transformed the ergonomic chair into an ergonomic gaming chair. It has to be said that this is a rare change in the dull ergonomic chair industry.

After all, there are still many people like my sister who work hard at work and play games after get off work. If you are similar, like the style of gaming chairs, and hope that the chair can be more comfortable to sit on, now there is finally a more suitable choice.

Keyboard - IQUNIX F97

In order to save space in ITX itself, I personally recommend a wireless keyboard and mouse as standard.

Many aluminum parts of Apple are made by IQUNIX, which is why IQUNIX is called the aluminum factory. Among mechanical keyboards, IQUNIX keyboards are considered high-end products among ordinary products, and customized entry-level products. I have many mechanical keyboards at home, but my sister doesn't like any of them. One time, she accidentally saw an article about the aluminum factory wormhole, and was instantly attracted to it.

Unfortunately, the Wormhole doesn’t have a numeric keypad, so the girl who often has to input numbers finally chose F97, red axis, which is the origin of the keyboard.

The keyboard supports three connection modes: Bluetooth, 2.4G and wired. The F97 Bluetooth uses version 5.1. Common Bluetooth mode problems such as traffic jams and delays will not occur in Bluetooth mode.

F97 is also a keyboard that supports Apple Mac system. It comes with replacement keycaps for Apple function keys. Of course, it can also connect to Android and iPhone/ipad via Bluetooth. The two black ones are the keyboard brush and the other is the 2.4G receiver. The top one is the key remover.

Not to mention anything else, just the design of the aluminum factory's shell and keycaps completely surpasses most domestic brands. The texture is very solid, and the beauty, color matching, and shape design are all amazing. It turns out that it can be made so beautifully~ and as a finished customized keyboard, the F97's axis is replaceable.

The bottom frame is obviously square and very retro, but the keycaps are very modern. The roaming theme is matched with various icons related to the universe, and the colors are also restrained, giving it a strong sense of luxury.

The switches can be replaced at will, there are three modes of connection, it is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems, plus there is an RGB buff. It has everything it should have. Apart from personal aesthetic differences, I can't seem to find any shortcomings in it.

Mouse-Razer V2X Speed ​​Edition

Last year, I installed a computer for my sister's home, which was equipped with the newly released V2X Speed ​​Edition. The extremely light weight, very comfortable grip, long battery life and very precise control left a deep impression on both my sister and me. And the core is that the price of 299 is really a great value.

I was also attracted by the V2X Express Edition and bought the V2X Professional Edition, replacing my original Logitech Master 2S on the host computer and putting the Master 2S on the laptop for my girlfriend to use.

When it came to this ITX, my sister also said that she really didn't like the feel of the master and the indescribable momentary lag, and asked to continue using the V2X extreme speed version, so I bought another one this time.

All in all, I have five or six DeathAdders at home, both wired and wireless....

You really can't find a product with a better price-performance ratio than the V2X Speed ​​Edition. It has long battery life, good hand feel, sensitive and accurate response, and is compact and light. These advantages, plus the Razer brand, are only over two hundred yuan. Looking at the master 2S that I bought at a promotional price of over three hundred yuan, it's really sad that it's hard to resell it even if it's peeling.

Headphones-Razer Barracuda X

When it comes to choosing speakers or headphones, ITX is a very personal matter.

Because the other computer is already equipped with a HiVi speaker, this ITX only needs a simple headset. Then considering that I need to play Genshin Impact or watch a movie occasionally, I also thought that it would be even better if I could also solve the problem of the Switch that the girl usually plays.

So I ordered the Razer Barracuda X in white along with the mouse. The dedicated 2.4G wireless transmission is a very important feature, after all, the delay of Bluetooth is not a very pleasant thing when playing games. The weight of 250g is also a reason. Girls don't want the headphones to be too heavy, which will be a burden after a long time.

The headset is detachable, so it is convenient to put it away when not in use. There is also a dedicated microphone mute button on the headset, which is convenient for users who do not want to remove the microphone. The official nominal battery life is about 20 hours. In fact, I have been using it for more than ten days, a little more than an hour a day, which is just the first time I charged it.

The earmuffs are made of memory foam and relatively breathable materials. I don't feel my head being pinched when wearing them. At the current room temperature of nearly 30 degrees, I don't feel stuffy or foreign body when wearing them for a long time. In terms of sound, the Barracuda X uses a modular sound cavity unit, and the high, medium and low frequencies can meet the needs of videos and games. The phrase "sweet treble, accurate midrange and deep bass" that describes top-level audio actually made me think of it after playing games and watching movies with this headset.

Of course, gaming audio and video headphones are mostly based on game and movie sound effects. After all, game users care a lot about the sense of scene. The core requirement is that the low frequency is sufficient but not excessive, and the high frequency is clear but not sharp. The immersive feeling of the game also mainly benefits from this. The Barracuda X can be said to be very excellent in this regard.

Compared with the black Barracuda X, the white one is more comfortable. The girl also takes good care of the white earphones. Usually when I am writing next to her, she will not disturb me at all when she wears it to play games.

The biggest difference between installing an ITX computer and installing one in a regular case is the size of the space, so when installing an ITX host, you must observe the wiring in advance.

The first step is to assemble the CPU + heat dissipation + memory + SSD hard drive.

The second step is to connect the required power modules and put the power supply into the chassis.

The third step is to connect various power supplies, lights, USB, front audio, hard disk cables, etc., and try to light up the host.

Step 4. After confirming that it can be lit, put the motherboard into the chassis, tighten the screws, and connect the power cord.

The fifth step is to start organizing the cables, connecting the power cable, hard drive data cable, etc.

Step 6. Complete and package the chassis.

The front view of my girl's desktop! On the right side of the computer case is my computer's HiVi M200 MK3+, and on the case is the iPad Pro display powered by PITAKA!

Looking from the side, it still looks a bit empty. I guess in addition to the small bracket, some decorations will be added.

The aluminum factory's keyboard is mainly white with low-saturation blue as a secondary color, which matches the black mouse pad and mouse on the desktop and looks very textured.

Looking from a certain angle, you can see the light vortex of the fan inside the chassis - it looks nice and not dazzling.

I am currently considering putting a small shelf under the monitor, which will make it look more beautiful.

OK, that’s all for the actual shooting demonstration.

Today, I hope to share the concept of ITX. ITX was created to solve the aesthetic problem of space. I personally don’t want to build a flagship graphics card or a small cannon on ITX just for the sake of being small, unless the space at home is really limited.

At the same time, ITX is not synonymous with cheapness and low performance. Small and exquisite is a core, and my suggestion is to meet the actual performance requirements and have a slight surplus. If you care about economy, ITX is not suitable because it costs more for the same performance.

That’s all for today’s sharing.
