Maguay GamePower X99 装(Maguay GamePower X99)在一个标准的全塔式纸板箱中(tower cardboard box),上面印有 In Win 707标志。如果这听起来像是外星人说话,请知道它只是外壳制造商(case's manufacturer)的名称。
在包装盒内,您会发现机器本身带有两个驱动盘(driver discs)、电源线(power cord)和快速入门指南(start guide)。
包装方面没有什么意外,因为GamePower X99有一个非常基本的配件包。
一旦我们将机器从包装中取出,我们就可以通过透明的侧面板(side panel)瞥见里面的东西。这是一个很好的观点!但稍后会详细介绍。
硬件规格
规格列表令人印象深刻:我们有一个运行频率为 3.3GHz 的六核Intel Core i7 5820K处理器,搭配运行频率为2133MHz(MHz)的四通道16GB DDR4 RAM。相当强大的CPU,考虑到 15MB三级(level 3)缓存和超线程功能。CPU名称(CPU name)末尾的K表示倍频已解锁,因此CPU完全可以超频,这对发烧友来说是个好消息!
哦,是的,CPU由Zalman CNPS11X Performa(Zalman CNPS11X Performa water)水冷器进行水冷。
作为华硕(ASUS)最先进的主板之一,X99-A将整机保持在一起,同时由Chieftec CTG-750C 电源(Chieftec CTG-750C power)供电,能够承受最大 750W 的负载。
由于它被称为GamePower ,因此具有 4GB GDDR5 内存(GDDR5 memory)和 256 位总线宽度的(bus width)ASUS Strix GTX 970将图形处理能力带到了桌面上。
在存储方面,我们有一个 256GB Transcend SSD和一个 2TB Seagate Constellation硬盘,速度为 7200 RPM(RPM speed)和 64MB 缓冲区。两种存储解决方案都使用SATA 3连接。
声音由板载Realtek® ALC1150 8-Channel High Definition Audio提供。
在连接方面,华硕 X99 芯片组(ASUS X99 chipset)在后面板上控制六个USB 3.0端口和四个USB 2.0端口,在前面板上控制两个USB 3.0端口和两个USB 2.0端口。除此之外,您还可以在后面板上找到常用的连接器:一个PS/2 port、一个以太网端口(Ethernet port)和音频连接器。
此外,还有一个USB BIOS 闪回( USB BIOS Flashback)按钮,您可以在固件更新时使用。

使用 Maguay GamePower X99
使用Maguay GamePower X99是一次非常愉快的体验。为了看看它的表现如何,我们安装了今年最受期待的两款游戏:《巫师 3(Witcher 3):狂猎》和《侠盗猎车手(Hunt and Grand Theft Auto)5》。
我们在启用了NVIDIA HairWorks的情况下以(NVIDIA HairWorks)全高清分辨率运行了《(Full HD resolution)巫师 3(Witcher 3)》的全部细节。这是游戏中最苛刻的功能,它只适用于NVIDIA GPU(NVIDIA GPUs)。可以说(Suffice)这款游戏看起来很棒,而且我们很少看到帧速率(frame rate)低于 50 FPS。换句话说,您无需担心Maguay GamePower X99无法正常运行您的游戏。它工作得很好,玩得很好!Geralt在这里可以证明这一点:
玩侠盗猎车手 5(Grand Theft Auto 5)对GamePower X99 来说(GamePower X99)几乎没有什么挑战。在我们玩的整个过程中,我们没有看到帧速率下降(frame rate drop)到 60 FPS以下。
很明显,GamePower X99处理游戏没有问题。
生产力(Productivity)任务甚至不值得一提,因为机器可以快速完成任何类型的办公室工作(office work),例如The Flash。
该系统不太嘈杂,也不会产生太多热量。您会听到冷却液体(liquid spinning)的风扇在高负载期间高速旋转,但没有什么太烦人的。
您需要记住的是,该机器具有全塔式外形(form factor),并且相当大且重,因此不要期望将其移动太多。不过,从积极的方面来说,内部有足够的空间来添加更多组件。
机器的外观也很漂亮,机箱底部的灰尘过滤器有助于防止小灰尘颗粒进入。(dust filter)对于那些喜欢闪亮灯光的人来说,GamePower X99也有相当的照明份额:
Maguay GamePower X99(Maguay GamePower X99)是一款游戏机(gaming machine),提供非常好的性能和大量(performance and lots)的定制和升级选项(customization and upgrade options)。如果您正在寻找一台能够以全高清分辨率(Full HD resolution)处理所有游戏的机器,那么它绝对是一个值得选择的人选。如果你能负担得起它的价格,那就是。
(Software Bundled)与Maguay GamePower X99捆绑的软件
我们非常感谢Maguay没有在这台机器上预装大量专有软件。唯一预装的软件是驱动程序和用于创建系统恢复光盘(system restore discs)的特殊实用程序。
您需要记住的是,Windows 8.1 中的出厂重置(Windows 8.1)选项(factory reset option)已由Maguay自定义为需要使用操作系统(operating system)DVD/USB drive。如果您的机器没有配备Maguay提供的此类恢复媒体,您需要使用机器上预装的特殊实用程序自行创建恢复媒体。
要了解如何执行此操作,请参阅快速入门指南(start guide)。那里解释了整个过程。相反,如果您使用标准的 Windows 8.1 光盘,您将失去Maguay在出厂重置(factory reset)期间所做的自定义。
我们希望这方面会更加明显。或者更好的是,不存在。如果Maguay只使用不需要我们额外努力的操作系统(operating system)的标准设置,那就更好了。
基准性能和温度(Benchmark Performance and Temperatures)
我们使用BootRacer来测量机器从SSD启动的速度。如果我们查看平均值,系统会在大约 35 秒内启动。由于这是我们测试的第一台这种性能水平的机器,我们无法真正将它与其他设备进行比较,因此我们将在未来使用它来比较其他类似机器。
接下来,我们想看看冷却的效率如何,以及 5820K 在满负荷下的发热程度。因此,我们运行了Prime95大约一个小时,并观察了数字的上升。但是,它们并没有升得太高——经过一小时的压力测试(stress testing),CPU没有超过 71摄氏度(Celsius),这很棒,考虑到我们正在谈论的是高端六核CPU。
闲置时,CPU保持在40摄氏度(Celsius)左右,这也是一个非常不错的温度。
我们还使用CrystalDiskMark测试了驱动器。SSD表现不错,尽管我们确实看到了更好的结果。
硬盘(HDD)也表现出不错的成绩,对于SATA3 硬盘(SATA3 HDDs)来说是很正常的。
为了评估图形能力,我们在Extreme 预设(Extreme preset)上运行了 3DMark Vantage ,得到了 26168 分。非常好的成绩。
总而言之,GamePower X99的表现并没有让人失望。这是一个非常棒的系统,具有高质量的组件,可能会以 1080p 完美运行您的所有游戏。
判决
Maguay设法用一流的技术构建了一个可靠的游戏系统,例如(gaming system)DDR4 内存(DDR4 memory)、六核处理器(six-core processor)和主板,这绝对会吸引游戏玩家和超频玩家。我们向那些希望并有能力在他们的办公桌下拥有最新技术的人推荐这个系统。但请记住,该系统的图形性能不会超过 2560x1440 分辨率,因此如果您打算玩 4K... 好吧,您需要考虑其他选项或获得更好的图形卡,例如NVIDIA GeForce GTX980。
Reviewing The Maguay GamePower X99 - Top Performance With A Top Price
Maguay is the oldest Romanian partner of Intel and they offer a broad rаnge of compυter systems and solυtions, including laptops, ultrabooks, servers, gaming machines, storage solutiоns and other various hardware components. Although they are not quite well known outside of Romaniа, we'd like to bring them tо your attentіon, sіnсe they build quality products. One of their most recent systems is the GamеPowеr X99 gaming rig, a machіne that incorporates new tech, such as DDR4 memory and water cooling alongsіde a powerful Intel Core i7 processor. We've tested it for а whіle and we're nоw ready to share with you what we've learned. Read this review to find out more about Mаguay GamePower X99:
Unboxing The Maguay GamePower X99
The Maguay GamePower X99 arrived in a standard full tower cardboard box branded with the In Win 707 logo. If that sounds like alien-speak to you, know that it's simply the name of the case's manufacturer.
Inside the box you'll find the machine itself accompanied by two driver discs, the power cord and a quick start guide.
Nothing unexpected in terms of packaging, as the GamePower X99 has a pretty basic accessory package.
As soon as we got the machine out of the wrapping, we could catch a glimpse of what's inside, through the transparent side panel. And it was quite a view! But more about that later on.
Hardware Specifications
The list of specs is quite impressive: we have a six-core Intel Core i7 5820K processor running at 3.3GHz, paired with 16GB of DDR4 RAM running in quad channel at 2133 MHz. Quite a potent CPU, considering the 15MB level 3 cache and the Hyper-Threading capabilities. The K at the end of the CPU name means that the multiplier is unlocked, so the CPU is perfectly capable of overclocking, which is great news for enthusiasts!
Oh yeah, the CPU is water cooled by a Zalman CNPS11X Performa water cooler.
One of ASUS' most advanced motherboards, the X99-A keeps the entire machine together while powered by a Chieftec CTG-750C power supply, capable of withstanding a maximum load of 750W.
Since it's called GamePower, the graphics power is brought to the table by an ASUS Strix GTX 970 with 4GB of GDDR5 memory and a 256-bit bus width.
On the storage side of things, we have a 256GB Transcend SSD and a 2TB Seagate Constellation hard drive with a 7200 RPM speed and a 64MB buffer. Both storage solutions use a SATA 3 connection.
The sound is provided by the onboard Realtek® ALC1150 8-Channel High Definition Audio.
Moving forward to connectivity, the ASUS X99 chipset controls six USB 3.0 ports and four USB 2.0 ports on the back panel, two USB 3.0 ports and two USB 2.0 ports on the front panel. Aside from that you get the usual connectors on the back panel: a PS/2 port, an Ethernet port and the audio connectors.
Additionally, there's a USB BIOS Flashback button that you can use in case of firmware updates.
The GTX970 video card provides two DVI connectors, an HDMI and a Display Port, so you're pretty much set for a multi-monitor configuration.
Since the motherboard supports all types of multi-GPU configurations, both SLI and CrossFireX, you'll also be prepared for multi-GPU scenarios.
Maguay GamePower X99 comes with Windows 8.1 Pro installed, so you don't need to worry about buying a license.
You can read it's full set of specifications here: GamePower X99.
Using The Maguay GamePower X99
Using the Maguay GamePower X99 was a very pleasant experience. In order to see just how well it performs, we installed the two most anticipated games of this year: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Grand Theft Auto 5.
We ran The Witcher 3 in full details on a Full HD resolution with NVIDIA HairWorks enabled. This is the most demanding feature of the game and it only works properly with NVIDIA GPUs. Suffice to say that the game looked amazing and we rarely saw the frame rate dropping below 50 FPS. In other words, you don't need to worry about the Maguay GamePower X99 not running your games properly. It works and plays great! Geralt, here, can attest to that:
Playing Grand Theft Auto 5 was little challenge for the GamePower X99. For the entire time that we played, we didn't see the frame rate drop below 60 FPS.
It's quite clear that the GamePower X99 has no issues handling games.
Productivity tasks are not even worth mentioning, since the machine zips through any kind of office work like The Flash.
The system isn't too noisy and it doesn't generate too much heat either. You will hear the fan that cools the liquid spinning at high speed during high load, but nothing too annoying.
What you need to keep in mind is that the machine has a full-tower form factor and it's fairly large and heavy, so don't expect to move it around too much. On the positive side, though, there's more than enough room inside to add more components.
The looks of the machine are quite nice too, and the dust filter on the bottom of the case helps keeping small dust particles at bay. For those of you who like shiny lights, the GamePower X99 has its fair share of lighting, too:
The Maguay GamePower X99 is a gaming machine that offers very good performance and lots of customization and upgrade options. If you're looking for a machine that handles all of your games in Full HD resolution, then it's definitely a worthy candidate. If you can afford its price, that is.
Software Bundled With Maguay GamePower X99
We really appreciated that Maguay did not preinstall loads of proprietary software on this machine. The only preinstalled software were the drivers and a special utility for creating system restore discs.
What you need to keep in mind here is that the factory reset option in Windows 8.1 has been customized by Maguay to require the use of an operating system DVD/USB drive. If your machine didn't come with such restore media provided by Maguay, you'll need to use a special utility preinstalled on the machine to create the restore media yourself.
To learn how to do this, refer to the quick start guide. The entire process is explained there. If, instead, you use a standard Windows 8.1 disc, you'll lose the customizations done by Maguay during the factory reset.
We wish this aspect would have been more obvious. Or better yet, inexistent. It would've been better if Maguay just used a standard setup of the operating system that didn't require extra effort on our side.
Benchmark Performance and Temperatures
We used BootRacer to measure how fast the machine booted off the SSD. The system started in around 35 seconds if we look at an average value. Since this is the first machine of this level of performance that we test, we can't really compare it to other devices, so we'll use it to compare other similar machines in the future.
Next, we wanted to see how efficient the cooling was and how hot the 5820K got under full load. So we ran Prime95 for about an hour and watched the numbers rise. But, they didn't rise too high - after one hour of stress testing, the CPU didn't go beyond 71 degrees Celsius, which is great, considering that we're talking about a high-end six-core CPU.
While idling, the CPU stayed at around 40 degrees Celsius, which is also a very good temperature.
We've also tested the drives using CrystalDiskMark. The SSD showed decent scores, though we did see better.
The HDD also showed good scores, quite normal for SATA3 HDDs.
To evaluate the graphics power, we ran 3DMark Vantage on the Extreme preset, and achieved 26168 points. Very good score.
All in all, the performance of the GamePower X99 doesn't disappoint. It's a very good system with quality components that will probably run all of your games flawlessly in 1080p.
Verdict
Maguay managed to build a solid gaming system with top-notch technology, such as DDR4 memory, a six-core processor and a motherboard that will definitely appeal to gamers and overclockers alike. We recommend this system to those of you who want and afford to have the latest technology under their desk. Keep in mind, though, that the graphics performance of this system don't go beyond a 2560x1440 resolution, so if you're planning on playing in 4K... well, you'll need to consider other options or get a better graphics card, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX980.
