QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Oct 28 2015, 10:20 PM) Either USB WiFi adapter or PCI-E WiFi adapter. USB one is cheaper but reliability is lower than PCI-E one. Alright, then I guess I'll go with the PCI-E one.If your router/modem is close to you, then difference between LAN cable and WiFi is very small, just minor latency difference, if signal is weak (meaning you are far from the router/modem), then you gonna suffer with packet lost. May I know your current motherboard brand so I can give recommendation based on the slot and size available?  My desktop is pretty old, mobo is MSI MS7599 870-G45. Thanks ! |

Sifu-sifu,
Wanted to upgrade my CPU & Mobo. I'm currently using as below, and the CPU is bottlenecking my GPU (GTX 670) manage to OC till 3.8Ghz but the bottleneck is still there. Any suggestions ? MSI MS7599 870-G45 Phenom II X4 955BE with HYPER 212+ Would really loved to use my CPU long-term (So that its still suitable for better GPUs in the future) Budget around 1 - 1.5k, should I get an aftermarket cooler as well ?

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Nov 3 2015, 07:13 AM) If you want to adopt to latest Intel Skylake DDR4 platform, Thanks for the reply bro,Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 875 MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 409 Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM - RM 289 Total: RM 1573 (Techview price inclusive of GST) Stock cooler runs fine, if temperature is not satisfied, only get 3rd party cooler. I'm actually planning to OC my CPU in the future in the event where it's getting outdated and started to bottleneck. Also I'm in favor of an ATX mobo too. What are my other options ? Is it going to be worth it upgrading to Skylake ? or should I stick to Haswell ? |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Dec 12 2015, 09:03 PM) Intel Core i5 6500 - RM 876 Thanks bro, I'm wondering if there's a better casing you would recommend ? The BitFenix NOVA seemed to have bad airflow ? There's no rooms for fans.MSI B150M Bazooka D4 - RM 399 Corsair 8GB DDR4 2133MHz Value RAM - RM 200 Zotac GTX970 4GB GDDR5 Reference - RM 1399 (Christmas promotion) WD Blue 1TB HDD - RM 215 FSP Hexa+ 550W - RM 189 Bitfenix NOVA - RM 149 Total: RM 3427 (Techview price inclusive of GST) If you want better quality PSU, swap to Seasonic M12II EVO 620 (modular) or S12II 620W (non-modular) for RM 409/RM 349 respectively. Add in SSD next time when you have extra funds. The GPU chosen above is reference card, meaning temperature will be slightly higher than non-reference card, the next cheapest non-reference card is MSI Tiger which costs RM 1535. |

QUOTE(terence_nwb @ Dec 12 2015, 10:34 PM) It has 2 front for intake and 1 rear for exhaust. Would it be better to have the MSI Tiger GTX970 instead ? is it going to be worth the top-up ?If you want more fan slots, can consider Thermaltake Versa H25, 2 extra on top for exhaust. Planning to use this desktop in an non-aircond room....the weather gets pretty hot at times. A little concerned with the reference card. |
