Why does the led cheaper than the lpx? How about the performance comparison? RAM price is always like that, changing almost everyday. Another possibility is the seller is still selling the LPX at old price so the LPX is slightly expensive than LED. Performance is around the same if they have similar speed.

LED is the improved version of LPX with the new brushed aluminum heat spreader on the LED part to cool the RAM chips. Temperature should be lower than LPX with improved cooling method.

MSI H110i Pro AC comes with WiFi card right? Or we need to sendiri buy a PCIe WiFi card and slot it there? Bro terence_nwb, I will be getting the parts this weekend liao!!! Waited for a few weeks and went to COMEX 2016 but didn't get any good deals there. Times like this mana ada good deals lahh. Yes, AC (mobo model) indicates WiFi (Bluetooth as well) card is included. Usually it is hard to find good deal in those fairs/events for PC hardware, mostly laptop and accessories

But it's not stated in the spec sheet on their website lehh. Please correct me if I am wrong. Sometimes spec sheet doesn't state the "full" specs, I bumped into this issue many times before, mostly ASRock and MSI mobo, but luckily we have people doing review online to solve the puzzle. I did a quick search, most of the articles/reviews do mention Bluetooth, so most likely it does come with Bluetooth. WiFi and Bluetooth are bundled into a single onboard card nowadays (many board makers and manufacturers followed this practice since few years ago). QUOTE(woque @ Sep 16 2016, 07:10 PM) cool. is there any quality low profile mATX casing with similar pricing in the market? and will the upcoming kaby lake be using the same LGA1151 socket? Low profile? Silverstone case might suit your requirement then, but the design and look of the case is just so-so. Kaby Lake is said to use LGA1151 socket, but newer chipset will be introduced as well (200 series), the current LGA1151 socket mobo will be updated to work with Kaby Lake via BIOS update later on. QUOTE(MagnificM @ Sep 16 2016, 07:32 PM) hi, my friend just bought her rig today, and manage to get a PWP of Asus VX279N with the price tag of rm900++, is it a good deal ? haha Quite a good deal.

Hi sifus not sure this is an appropriate thread to ask but What is the resale value of this built by next year April-June?

Plan to resell it once my final year project ends. Age: Almost 1 year, built since October 2015
Specs:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Too early to "judge" due to many external factors that can be contributed to the price of the hardware, MYR status, item status etc.

But my raw guess would be around 2.3k (based on current pricing and the 2nd hand market pricing).

Just look at used GTX970 price now, it is around RM 900, thanks to GTX1060, next year should be even lower when warranty is up, RM 800 perhaps? As for the CPU, Kaby Lake is due soon, even though Haswell Xeon is still a competitive CPU but Intel CPU never have a big gap in terms of pricing between old and new CPU, new one is selling at the same price of old one so you can imagine what's gonna happen to used unit then, those sellers who want to clear the old CPU stock will try to "throw" price, but yea this rarely happens in Malaysia though My suggestion is to keep it unless you want high portability, which you can swap to mITX (SFF) build so you can carry around, if you prefer all-in-one, then laptop/mobile device is still a better choice.

Alright, 1k budget cannot do much, it's either CPU or GPU upgrade. But I would go for GPU upgrade instead (GPU > all in gaming), RX470 4GB/GTX1060 3GB is below 1k now, when you have more funds later, upgrade the CPU to at least i5 when bottleneck starts to show up.

From the measurement seems able to fit but the card is quite long...hmm Do you have any radiator installed at front? If no then it will fit, if yes then you need to measure the thickness of the radiator and the fans attached on it (pull only or pull and push).

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 7,016 posts Joined: Jul 2012 From: Kuala Lumpur	QUOTE(Duckies @ Sep 19 2016, 10:26 AM) No radiator I guess. Just normal air cooling set up. I am afraid the length of the GPU is too long til cannot fit although the spec sheets say can Don't worry then, GTX1070 G1 Gaming's length is just 280mm, I had tried putting GTX970 G1 Gaming (299mm), it fitted nicely even with a radiator installed in front with two 120mm casing fans. What you need to worry is the width, Air 240 doesn't have the width clearance needed by many cards out there, only G1 Gaming, FE cards (possibly more) are able to fit if you want to close the side window panel.

G1 Gaming is fine. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The width of some cards in the market is very "tall" or "long", so if you install these cards in Air 240, it's either you chop off the window panel for the PCIe power cable or leave the side panel open.

Thank you so much. sorry for long post. 1. You need a cooler, every CPU needs a cooler, but not all CPU require aftermarket cooler, non-K CPU runs fine on stock cooler. 2. If the price is too close, then Jetstream will be more worth since it comes with a better cooling solution and factory overclocked settings. 3. After sales services by ETech is ok for me, if you have issue with the item and want to send for warranty, just bring the item and receipt to the shop. If you want free pickup service, then you will have to choose Idealtech. 4. RMA largely depends on the local distributors, if they have technicians and parts available locally then pray hard that the item can be fixed in short amount of time, if not they will send back the item to the origin country to repair or exchange for a new unit, i.e. EVGA card is sent back to USA for RMA if I recall correctly.

I guess since G1 Gaming is fine then it's better to go for it. Thanks for the opinion man! Yea it is better to leave everything on "stock" unless you are planning to mod the chassis I had this chassis last time but sadly it can only fit few GPU models, so I sold it off and bought another chassis for my current card. Beware of the PCIe power cable as well, if the cable touches the side window then high chance it gonna leave a "scar" on the window itself.

The reason I am asking is that I am currently trying to convert my existing big case to mini ATX case like Air 240. Some part like hard disk, SSD and power supply I will use back..the rest have to change. Air 240 isn't a "real" mITX case though since it can fit mATX mobo If you haven't bought this chassis yet then you can consider other model if you want to have minimum compromise.

Else I will go with this: http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv.html http://www.phanteks.com/Enthoo-Evolv-ITX.html Air 240 is easier to carry around compared to Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX, I am using the latter now, owned the former one. Air 240 is smaller and with limited clearance. Evolv ITX is bigger and heavier, but you surely have enough clearance for your hardware, downside is the limited amount of drive slot. Both have pros and cons.
