hey, just wanna asked, i've already purchased a rig from E Tech without Cooler , my question is, would it bring some harm to my PC(what i'm worry of is that the cpu & its neighboring components would get heated for longer in the long run)??

i know it's stupid, but since i've already made my purchase, i think i will only get a better cooler by next year.

i'm talking about after market cooler.

but then again, some folks complained that stock cooler sucks, so yeah...

i admit, i was too rash in buying a new rig no particularly thanks to sst, which is why i based off my rig with a recommendation here not too long ago by Kristal.S. It suits my preferences(in terms of GPU/CPU selections) and it's within my range of budget, i immediately gave them (E Tech) the specs and forgotten the cooler after that

Guys, just curious, the GPU's fan would only be turned on if we're running on intensive programs that needs its power right? so, if we're just running normal apps that don't demand much gpu resources, then it would stay idle?

thanks in advance

Zotac AMP is RM3859 (PM to check for stock before buying):

Could be a hot chip. Thats why so big.

Sorry to interrupt again. Just want to ask if the Asrock Fatal1ty H370 Performance and Asus ROG Strix H370-f which is a better and more durable board?

Also, if i use H370 board, can i buy the G.Skill Trident Z 3000 RAM? I didn't see any one selling the Trident Z RAM in 2666 clock speed.

What about these:

CPU: INTEL CORE I7 8700K PROCESSOR RM 1,580.00 (Can opt for 9th gen)
COOLER: CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100I PRO RGB RM 439.00
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F GAMING RM 867.00 (Can opt for Z390)
RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB PRO (2X8GB) DDR4 3200MHZ RM 889.00
GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 1080 TI GAMING OC 11GB GDDR5X RM 3,299.00
SSD: SAMSUNG 250GB 860 EVO M.2 RM 378.00
HDD: SEAGATE 3.5' BARRACUDA 1TB RM 185.00
PSU: SUPER FLOWER 650W LEADEX II 80+ GOLD RM 415.00
CASE: FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE R6 RM 649.00
MONITOR: ACER PREDATOR 34' X34P CURVED IPS RM 3,899.00

TOTAL: RM12,600 (E Tech PC prices)

Thanks for the headsup. I see that they're expected to be reviewed early next month. I guess I'll wait until then before deciding.
Yea, I'm still on my previous rig, a 3570k though 
Thank you for the suggested specs. May I ask what are the main advantages of the ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F ? I forgot to mention that I have a dedicated sound card (Asus Xonar Essence STX) that I will be transferring over. Seeing that this mobo has a soundcard as well, would it be compatible?
Yes, i'll do that. After further research, i'm now thinking of going for the Alienware AW3418D instead. Around 1k more on Shopee, but seems worth it for the build and specs.

Going for RTX will increase price for not much performance gain at this moment. However, we shall see how well i9 and RTX work together.

I saw somewhere that the FPS is capped to 144Hz so you cant get to 200fps.

Suggested config for 80-110 FPS at high/ultra and probably 144fps at medium:

i5-8400 (RM750-780)
GTX1070Ti or GTX1080 (RM 1950-2950)
B360 motherboard (RM 350-450)
Good 550-700W PSU (RM 350-500)
decent case and cpu cooler (around RM 400-600)
Reuse RAM, SSD, HDD, monitor

Total around RM 3800-5300

If RAM not compatible, 8-16 DDR4 is RM 300-600

144hz needs High FPS to maximize it. It will need a fast CPU as well.

PUBG CPU performance (poorly optimized game):

Core i5-8400 is overpowered!

GPU (still poor):

I still recommend i7-8700K, RM200ish cooler and Asus Z370-F motherboard if you wanna max out your monitor. Some games loves CPU for even more FPS.

[Budget] : Around RM9k

[Purpose] : Gaming

[Hardwares that will be re-use] : Keyboard, Mouse, HDD, Monitors

[Monitor resolution]: Acer X34 P + Secondary 1440p monitor for streaming while gaming.

[Games & softwares that use frequently]: AAA titles

[Personal preferences]: Minimal RGB lighting, would prefer price/performance over lights

Hello again Sifus.
Seeing that the new Intel 9 series is not that worth it price/performance wise, opinions on the following? (based on previous recommendations + some snooping around)

CPU: INTEL CORE I7 8700K PROCESSOR
COOLER: NH-D15 (I read that air cooling is still more efficient)?
MOBO: ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-F GAMING
RAM: KINGSTON 3200 HYPERX PREDATOR RGB 8GB X 2
GPU: ZOTAC GTX1080TI 8G 11GB OC
SSD: SAMSUNG 970 EVO 250GB M2 PCIE
HDD: Already bought
PSU: SUPER FLOWER 750W LEADEX II 80+ GOLD
CASE: Fractal Design DEFINE R6 TG ATX

The above from C-Zone sums up to around 8.5k.

Questions:
1. Is C-Zone the best choice to order it from? Are there other alternatives that offer OC services etc?
2. RTX2080 vs GTX1080TI? 2080 seems to be available for around RM600+ more elsewhere, is that worth it?

Thank you again~

Handling heavy heatsinks like NH-D15 needs to be done carefully. The weight may kill the motherboard. AIO water cooling shifts the weight to the computer case. No issue there.

RTX 2080 is not worth the price. Thanks to no competition from AMD. Nvidia is not interested in reducing the price.

eTech told me 1080ti basically sold out in Malaysia.

Yes because they wanna make the place for 2k series. Right now the biggest competition for 2k series is 1080ti


Yea only can get if the seller still have old stock.
Actually is opposite, ppl gonna skip 2k series if they can get 1080ti.
Performance wise 1080ti vs 2080 only around 3-4% performance boost and u need to pay more.
Ray tracing and DLSS not available to test at this period.
When Ray tracing and DLSS become mainstream, 2k will become outdated.
If you are referring 2080ti, yes better performance, but it is double the price of 1080ti.

If money is not an issue and u want to have better performance, yea u can go for it.

Hi guys, I'm building a new rig for my friend. Everything is picked except for psu. Any good 650w psu that price around rm300? I've seen 2 brands aigo and segotep which I'm not familiar with. Are they any good? They are quite cheap and gold rated 550 to 650w price around rm300 too.

okok... thanks bro.. I'll try to save up some extras to get them Thanks <3

oh yeah, Tristan.. I was wondering if the NZXT H500 would be good? or Meshify C would be a better choice than the NZXT?
was looking for a white chassis

Can I have any contact if I'm interested to purchase
