The company Erying specializes in integrating mobile processors into desktop PCs. The new series of its MoDT HX motherboards works with the Intel Raptor Lake lineup up to the 24-core i9-13980HX. The company develops boards, cooling systems, and mounts necessary for installing a laptop chip and offers kits for specific processors.
The Intel HX processor series is arguably the most efficient for gaming laptops. Raptor Lake chips, represented by the Core 14 and 13 lineups, feature up to 24 cores and 32 threads. Erying never launches its platforms with laptop manufacturers - the company waits for the previous generation processors to become cheaper, only then offering its own kits for them. Currently, Erying has introduced products specifically for the Core 13.
The new motherboard is designed for the Micro-ATX form factor (244 x 244 mm) and has a 10-phase design. The board has two PCIe 4.0 slots, but only one of them has all 16 lanes, while only four are connected to the other. Also, the board has three M.2 interfaces (two PCIe Gen4x4 and one PCIe Gen3x4).
ERYING has developed a special integrated IHS heat spreader for BGA mobile processors. By default, they are supplied without IHS, as laptop manufacturers develop their own coolers with direct contact. However, this will not work here - PC users install their own coolers, so an effective heat spreader is needed. The company has developed a special design of the evaporator chamber, which is installed on the processor.
In the new series, ERYING introduces an M-ATX board for the first time with four memory slots. This became possible because the HX models are essentially desktop CPUs in a mobile form factor, "transformed" into desktop form by the company's equipment. Officially, they support XMP overclocking profiles up to 5600 MHz.
The I/O panel of the board does not look as empty as on previous MoDT devices: here are two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort interface, which supports 4K 240 Hz. Also available are four USB 3.2 5 Gbps ports, two USB 2.0 ports, and one USB Type-C 10 Gbps port. The network connection is represented by a 2.5 Gbps LAN port and built-in wireless connectivity.
The company shared some performance indicators of the Intel Core i9-13980HX processor in its system with a 360 mm liquid cooler. The processor is only 0.2 GHz slower than the desktop version of the i9-13900K, but consumes only 55 watts, with a maximum of up to 150 watts. The company demonstrates how it works in the test results provided.
This time, Erying is launching a total of 8 models of the HX series motherboards: i5-13450HX, i5-13500HX, i7-13650HX, i7-13700HX, i7-13850HX, i9-13900HX, i9-13950HX, and i9-13980HX. Prices start at ~$267.
