Perfect copy of MAC PRO 2013

[kqpee]

I've always liked Apple's Mac Pro, but it's so hard to find a PC case like Mac Pro and is not so stocky. Since I have found one and I want all of my buddies can give it a shot, I'll give you guys a brief report. Here follows my experience for Elegy C2.

 

Configuration Table:

CPU: I7 9700K

Main board: Z390 phantom gaming itx

Memory: ddr4-2400 16g * 2

SSD1: Samsung sm961 256g

SSD2：C2000 PRO 2TB

Graphics card: Gigabyte NVIDIA RTX 2060 Mini

Heat dissipation: 9cm

Fan: 140mm * 2

Case: Elegy C2 case

Power supply: 600W

 

I am not going to waste too much time on meaningless introduction.

First of all, here is the table layout picture.

 

Here is the picture of its beautiful enclosure.

 

 

It looks very familiar, isn’t it? Bornee C2 is a PC case, which is the closest design to Apple's Mac Pro at present. Its height is 273mm and its diameter is 19mm. The shell is a curved surface instead of a straight barrel. The enclosure adopts the beautiful electroplating process, which is seriously a nightmare when you want to take a great picture of it.

 

Inside the shell is a sheet of metal bracket.

 

 

It uses A4 structure, and the graphics card needs to be transferred. The top and the bottom can be installed with two cooling fans of 140mm, and the thickness is limited to 15mm. Only FLEX power supply and a short video card can be used.

 

 

 

For the main board, I chose Z390 phantom gaming itx, which is definitely the best itx board of Z390 chipset.

 

 

The CPU is Intel 9700K, which has 8 cores and 8 threads. Compared with the 18 cores and 36 threads of 2696v3 which I used to had, now the frame can be counted at a glance. Amd was in the range of my backlog alternatives, with low temperature and a good price. But I often do miscellaneous things like compiling and virtual machines, and I'm afraid that AMD will break down. I guess I will just wait for the environment to get better, when the niche software can become more adaptable.

 

 

The memory is ddr4-2400 16g * 2, which I bought several years ago.

 

 

Due to the space problem, I just try to use as less threads as I can. This time, the 2.5 SATA disk was not installed. All the SSDs were replaced by M2 SSDs. There were two SSDs in total. One was c2000pro, and the other was sm961. I only found that sm961 wasn’t being shoot when I posted... sorry for that.

 

 

Although I haven't heard of this brand before, it doesn't affect at all, because the price is really good. Nowadays in this era of high-capacity QLC, I'm really worried about that if it will be hard to buy TLC in the future…

 

The video card is NVIDIA RTX 2060 mini, with a single fan and double card slot. It has a black plastic shell, with no back plate. It supports the fan to stop running. I cannot bear noise, but I found this one was OK.

 

 

It looks really exquisite in this angle as such a small one.

Put it together!

 

 

The radiator is the graphene version of heifengling. I saw a post of a test on the A4 case before, and it seemed that the performance was pretty good. So I bought one with a 9cm fan. The base of 6 heat pipes is blackened, and the appearance and performance are both good.

 

 

The fan is 14cm, which is really hard to find. I so eagerly suggest that Owl produce one so that I can replace them right away.

Put it together.

 

 

This radiator is really big, which can only be used in the case of graphics card adapter. It’s OK if you don’t want any graphics card.

 

 

Fix the main board installed with heat dissipation on the bracket. Then fix the bottom fan through wire, and fasten it with fastener.

 

 

Fix the adapter cable of the video card and route it from the bottom.

 

 

Insert the video card into the adapter and fix the screw. You can see that the baffle is removed, since if you don't remove the baffle, the shell will be lifted.

 

 

Connect DP and HDMI extension cable.

 

 

Fasten the IO baffle and the power extension cable.

 

 

Install the top fan and the FLEX power supply, and then put the type C extension cable going through the top and plug it into the USB 3.0 interface of the main board.

 

 

Lock the upper and lower top covers with screws. Now it’s getting interesting.

 

 

You must be really careful when you put on the shell, since if you try too hard, you will break it.

 

 

Plug it in.

 

 

Fix the screws.

 

 

 

Congratulations on getting a PC case that can be used to play 3A.

 

 

 

 

Here attaches a test picture of FPU for half an hour. The room temperature was 23°.

Nice review.

Your backdrop and lighting is nice but the pictures look really grainy, try turning your ISO down or not compressing the image as much, or maybe the camera you're using isn't great.

pictures look werid but good and cool build
