QUOTE(TJP @ Apr 9 2014, 12:31 AM) Thank you so much for the recommendation! Really appreciate. Honestly the stock cooler should suffice but if you wanna get the CPU cooler and the fan quieter, then I'd recommend a Cooler Master hyper 212x for an extra Rm100+But I would like to ask one more thing, how bout extra cooler? Do I need it? Cause I am scared it might get quite hot while rendering videos and stuff. What will you recommend for that? QUOTE(deadboy 164 @ Apr 9 2014, 12:40 AM) Thanks, man. Let say I want to get everything from viewnet, which GC should I get from viewnet? RM420 for a GTX750 is hard to beat really, the closest one would be Gigabyte's offering at RM489 in Viewnet's pricelist but do check out the Leadtek ones just in caseQUOTE(MrLoo @ Apr 9 2014, 12:58 AM) Hi sifus, is palit gtx 750 ti oc better? or gainward gtx660 golden sample? both 2gb ddr5 the GtX660 is the stronger card hereQUOTE(Tomtom. @ Apr 9 2014, 07:05 AM) then i have to stretch out my budget . hmm maybe end of this month i buy the gpu and psu. which gpu of r9 280x u recommend for me? or should i get gainward 770 2gb? should cn play most of the games at ultra right? Definitely the R9 280X  the Sapphire Vapor-X or toxic versions are viable options |

QUOTE(jdachum @ Apr 15 2014, 03:24 PM) I can top up a bit more, but I want to know whether it will be worth to top up that RM100-RM200? yes the extra budget will mean a world of differencesEDIT: I just checked the FX 4300, performance wise, it's lower than the i3-4130? QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Apr 15 2014, 03:30 PM) CPU:Intel Core i3 4130 3.4GHz RM349 This is what I'd recommend Mobo:Asrock H81M-DGS RM179 RAM:Corsair 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RM229 PSU:FSP Hexa 500W RM149 GPU:Palit GTX750 StormX OC 1GB GDDR5 RM420 Total:RM1326 GPU is from Lingloong@GS,the rest are from Viewnet.

QUOTE(dannrawr @ Apr 22 2014, 11:58 PM) Hi guys, right now im installing the gainward gtx 760 phantom to my asrock b85m pro4. I also have tplink at pci 2. that's one of the may hiccups in using a smaller mobo, the layout of the B85M pro4 will definitely place the wifi card very close to the intake of the GPU, but given that it's a Phantom cooler so its a dual fan right?? no big issues there but temps will rise a few degrees compared when you have a little more space.. this is true to my HD7850 as well when I was using an M-Atx board and wifi pci card The problem is if i put my gpu at pcie 1 which is pcie3.0, it block both the pci 1 and 2 where i put my wifi card. Can i put my gpu at pcie 2 slot so that i can use my wifi card? Would there be any diff on performance? Thanks a USB wifi dongle may be the best solution here, else get a pci-e wifi card and stick it at the bottom PCIe lane QUOTE(Zgames @ Apr 23 2014, 12:00 AM) Nope. Don't think it'll affect much. Maybe like 1-2 fps difference but that isn't clearly visible to our eyes I wouldn't recommend this, 8x pci yes no apparent difference but at 4x you're losing more performanceQUOTE(rav3n82 @ Apr 23 2014, 08:08 AM) If not mistaken, the second PCI-E lane runs at x4, as compared to normal x16 on the first lane. I would recommend running it at the first, since you will suffer some performance hit. +1, my thoughts exactly  |

QUOTE(mykchin8 @ May 5 2014, 08:11 AM) Tom's Hardware has a report indicating that the Phantom's cooling solution is not as efficient as MSI's Twin Frozr or Gigabyte's WindForce, based on measurements, there is up to 10degC delta in performance. Does anyone have any issues with the temps of Phantoms that you are using now? Hardly the issue unless someone is gunning for high OC clocks, most of us will run our GPUs at stock or mild OC so a little higher temp compared to the Twin-Frozr or Windforce series is not a concern so long as it's better than stock cooler |

QUOTE(Phsycoidiot @ May 7 2014, 01:03 AM) Hi all! I'm planning on a rig right now to be made from somewhere within December 2014 to April 2014. I'll be using it as a Digital Audio Workstation whilst it being able to handle gaming. I know it's a long way to go, but I'd rather start on my list now then later. I suggest that you wait till August 2014 at least to get a better quote, SSD and RAM price may drop, there's the new Intel chip coming soon, as well as new AMD chips as well» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « These are my required components. If you know where to get the components for a really cheap price, do PM me  Location: Petaling Jaya Budget: RM4500// Usage: Gaming, Video Editing, Pro Audio Editing Required list before: 15th December 2014 Thanks in advance!  |
