the ram with 1.35v is kind of rare here :/

i can only see crucial and mushkin. the rest are of 1.5v. damn haswell.
*
yeah of course smile.gif it's still rare now.. it will soon be everywhere~.. probably DDR3 revision? lol

QUOTE(ykgen @ Jun 23 2013, 04:21 AM)
sandy bridge users can now upgrade their rams to 32gb since the 1.5v is expected to drop  rclxms.gif

expected to drop? when? i thought sandy bridge is very similar to ivy bridge? hmm

ivy bridge is the 3rd generation? i mean since haswell is using lower voltage ram.. so old ram price should drop right?
*
what usually happens the pattern that i'm looking at since ddr 1 to ddr 2 conversion.. and so is ddr 2 to ddr 3.. it will start to drop very low (MYR 50 - 70) then will go up.. so this is the case since they phase it out then will be low on stocks .. since newer ram will have more attention.. but of course the newer ram will be higher priced til there is quite high demand~

QUOTE(horns @ Jun 23 2013, 09:58 AM)
haha hope so smile.gif but with the recent lack of supply of ram chips, it might not be happening.
yeah sandy b**** and ivy b**** can still profit from the high-power ram.
*
happy.gif yep yep.. of course they will still profit smile.gif although i think that they can use lower power ram also.. izzit?

yes sure. however, i still prefer high power ram, because they should be more efficient in terms of performance.

i thought low powered ram hve rooms for OC? hahaha

The ac wifi modem is very rare & costly here. Afaik i dun see any of public place support it. Cheapest modem i find is RM600++ , not worth the upgrade... yet.

I was asking holloway that he has any idea for upgrading wifi antenna or not  biggrin.gif

not so sure . gotta see how it looks like biggrin.gif any hard mod would be very scary~

I got a Asus G55, I thinking of changing the harddisk to SSD. The brand I'm looking at is Crucial M500 480GB. Is it good enough? The reason i choose it is because I can buy it from the crucial online store.
*
well one it would be funny if u couldn't buy a crucial product in a crucial online store right?

second.. maybe broaden up a bit your variety of choices? or do you have specific preferences towards the crucial.

thirdly.. I just realize when u ask is it good enough, u might want to do a bit of reading regarding the stuff u want to buy. Some people will tell you, SSD is just an SSD everything will be the same~. Think back twice thrice biggrin.gif because the more you see the more it will not be the same.

haha, jz my thought. Since we r in mobile computing thread, it makes me think that way tongue.gif 

BTW, if you play waterblock in your rig  brows.gif , separate GPU to another chassis definitely is a bad idea.
*
if i have a gaming rig with liquid coolant.. why would i go for a gaming notebook? go for slim2 sexy2 laptop~ easier to carry around lol

but if i have a gaming notebook, and needs more juice. i'd definitely head towards egpu if my laptop allows me too.

i think what they are aiming for is laptop user.. coz as we can see now most people are going for mobile gaming and having both gpu inside the laptop without proper cooling just kills the laptop faster.

TS wana change laptop? What about this thread? lol

IMHO putting another cube just for the GPU is kinda waste of space. Monitor, CPU, AMP+ speaker, Keyboard mouse, and now GPU chasis?

oh.. imo for the sake of discussions let's us do not limit ourselves to the keywords, 'mobile computing' only. if i really needed to stick to those topics to the letters, i really have nothing to discuss already (as of now, high mobility means low performance, relatively; there is not much to discuss lol!). i might as well go else where biggrin.gif

i just think that it's a nice idea that an external gpu can be used to replace our aging gpu. with this accessory, we don't need to worry about whether the gpu on our laptop is of custom form factor or soldered, and we can just get one and use it for all sorts of low-powered laptops.

if i have a desktop rig, eGPU is pointless biggrin.gif pci-e is much better lol!
*
yeah thats what my point exactly.. thunderbolt has only around 30GB/s bus speed whilst pci-e 2.0 around 128Gb/s and pci-e 3.0 doubles that~ or around that.. but for laptop having a egpu means a solution for Asus also.since they really like to solder the GPU and CPU..

and speaking about mobile computing straight brings me to . limited ram, low TDP to save battery life and of course sucky gpu. those 11 inchers 13 inchers~ lol

QUOTE(tonberry_ax @ Jun 26 2013, 11:59 AM)
Bro, my advice is dun play custom desktop rig too much, once u go there, u gona be as broke as fcuk. Like me  biggrin.gif
Totally agree with the 'high mobility means low performance' terms  nod.gif I not sure about using external GPU with low-powered laptop tho. For desktop PC, there's plenty of room to grow, but you have to see how much ur wallet grow 1st  biggrin.gif
*
tell me about it coz my next laptop isn't gonna be worth around 4k instead i might go as far as 7k or 8k.. i seriously think if i need raw power going for desktop rig would be more cheaper compared to buying a laptop .. try comparing a 4k laptop vs a 4k desktop biggrin.gif..

and a laptop is a one time bomb...whilst a desktop u can add here and there according to ur finance biggrin.gif

Everything is working perfectly? tongue.gif

They didn't reformat my hard disk thank god. So far so good. Change a new motherboard does that mean I got a new processor n gpu too right?
*
CPU is replaceable or u can take from the old MOBO and put it in the new one smile.gif so i think they didn't change ur CPU but since GPU is soldered so it comes with the motherboard smile.gif

lucky they didnt format ur HDD.. good news they are improving smile.gif. They should if they want to retain their customers. After sales is very important.
