Wanted to ask about PC cooling especially here in Malaysia.

To preface, I am not running my PC on overclock, so it isn't running that isn't already on the default setting.
It will mostly be used for gaming, and mostly for AAA games.
No air con. only fans around PC area(living room), can get quite stuffy even with open windows.

PC isn't quite here yet but I will be eventually running a 5080 + 9800x3d and most info I've gleaned on YT or even reddit seem to have their ambient temp much lower than ours in Malaysia.

So I am quite puzzled on whether to go for air cooling or AIO liquid cooling. Where in colder climate countries, the difference might be negligible at 3-4 celcius, I was wondering if it will play a bigger difference to us in Malaysia.
I understand the price difference between the two, so I am looking at it more from the point of performance and/or risk of failure. Aesthetics of the coolers does not play a part in my decision, it can look ugly AF.

The air cooler will be a Thermalright phantom spirit 120 EVO and liquid AIO, looking at Arctic Liquid Freezer III probably 360/420.

Would be nice if I can get some opinions on the decision, especially slightly more relevant for me due to the different climate conditions.
*
Yeah, our ambient is higher. Try Thermalright Frost Commander 140. If you are not convinced, go for 360mm AIO to guarantee max turbo clocks.

Hi sifus !

My build below's pretty old and it's time for an upgrade. Don't want to spend as much as a new PC but enough to play AAA games and maybe do a little streaming. Appreciate your time reading and helping a noob out.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G with Radeon Vega Graphics 3.60 GHz
RAM: 16 GB
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super
Mobo: ASRock A320M-HDV R4
PSU: Fsp 500watt 80+ bronze
Chassis: Invasion M5 Matx Chassis
*
Update BIOS and try Ryzen 5 5600. Change graphic card to Inno3D RTX 3060 12GB at RM1274 and MSI A650BN power supply at RM203 from Shopee. Do not listen to anyone telling you to buy RTX 4060 or 8GB or less graphic cards. They are garbage for today's games.

Yoooo Tristan ! Appreciate it so much! Almost bought 4060 when got recommended by one of the shops the other day.

May I know the reason why we update BIOS and get the new CPU?
*
Motherboard won't be able to detect newer cpu if the motherboard bios is older than the cpu.

Oo is there a possibility that it wouldn't detect even after updates? Sockets seem alright

Thats why you need to update bios. Latest bios supports this cpu.

Powercolor RX7800 XT 16gb fighter 2488

Tempted to buy these Raya promo, not sure if should wait till 11.11 promo.
Don't know if the news of trump increasing chips price is true or not
*

Alamak, previously not enough money hahaha.
some says that the current GPU price is high, but I'm not sure how to check the price trend.
*
Gigabyte RX 7800 XT at RM2.1k right now. I think still can go lower on birthday sale. At RM2-2.1k, it has very high price/performance. Blows RTX 4060 Ti 16GB away too.

I posted this on another forum with PC sellers, they all said i can't run my graphic card fully and reco me to down to rtx4060 8G (i die die dunwan to go for 8G hahaha)
So was wondering if i can topup another 1k, will it make a difference for upgrading to a nicer cpu/mobo?
Or it doesn't matter much for me and that i can stick to the current reco setup?

Oh and aiya, the rx7800xt promo sold out adi sad, i just saw.

Acer RX 7800 XT at RM2111 from Shopee. Yes, RM1k extra gets you

Once again, I've missed it, no results came out when i searched this. No worries, will wait till I stumble upon a good promo.

Oh and is there any brands/that I should avoid for gpu/cpu/ram etc? Just in case I've stumbled upon any other brands that has promo

Another question, is there any difference between  like hyperx and beast, even though both are from kingston?
*
Use your phone to browse lazada or shopee. Discount will not show on desktop.

Just check with us here on what to avoid.

Probably RAM timings. Lower is better.

Hi sifus, was keen to get a brand new RX 7800XT, which brand of RX 7800XT would you recommend out of so many brands out there? Was eyeing on that Acer RX7800XT at RM2111 earlier as it's the cheapest around but sadly it got sold out. But it's my first time seeing a Acer gpu, any reviews on that yet?
AFAIK, Sapphire is the best option but the price is also the priciest. Powercolor, Asrock, Gigabyte, Asus, Acer. Out of the mentioned above, which one brand/model would you recommend?

Also currently looking at these specs, is there any components that I need to swap out?

Budget: RM5-6k
Purpose: 1440p gaming & browsing

CPU: AMD RYZEN 5 7500F
MOBO: MSI B650M PLUS GAMING WIFI
RAM: 32GB 6000MT/s DDR5 CL30 DIMM (Kit of 2) FURY Beast Black XMP
GPU: RX7800XT (Still not decided yet which brand/model to go)
SSD: 1/2TB KINGSTON KC3000 PCIE GEN4x4 SSD
PSU: 1st Player NGDP 750W
CASE: Lian Li A3
*
Acer Predator Pallas II 32GB DDR5-6000 has CL30 for the timing and probably cheaper from Shopee. Asus RX 7800 XT Dual at RM2199 from Shopee if you don't mind paying Asus some tax. You can throw "best" away if you want cheap.

Hi dear Sifus, need a recommendation for a rig

B][Budget] 4-5k (don't mind increasing slightly if its worth it)

[Purpose] Gaming mostly

[Hardwares that will be re-use] Monitor 32 inch Samsung Odyssey G5

[Monitor resolution] Monitor As above

[Games & softwares that use frequently] Mostly AAA

[Personal preferences] future proof / easy to upgrade in the future. Don't mind AMD or Intel as long meets the criteria.

[Location] KL

Many thanks for the suggestions
*
Well, buying higher resolution monitor is asking for higher graphic card requirements. That budget is too low for "future proof" when you game at 3840x2160. Far from enough budget.

AMD Ryzen 5 7500F - 579
Gigabyte B650M Gaming Wifi - 649
Kingston KVR 16GB DDR5-5600 X2 - 378
Gigabyte RX 7800 XT 16GB Gaming OC - 2499 (Shopee) / Sapphire RX 9070 XT 16GB Pulse(requires bundle with PSU and still not enough to max out) - 3499
Kingston KC3000 1TB - 349
FSP Vita GM 850W - 599
Corsair 4000D Airflow - 299

RM5352/6352 total (Viewnet prices)

Yeah I could. Which one you reckon ?

Any other alternative for the PSU if viewnet doesn't have the one u recommend ?

Ryzen 7 7700 at RM1319. Upgrade the motherboard to MSI B650 Gaming Wifi at RM899 to make sure VRM isn't overheating. There are some games already pushing the CPU as well.

Try FSP Hydro GT Pro 850W, Corsair RM 850x and last pick would be Deepcool PX 850W.

Hi all need suggestion for custom desktop PC.

Situation: For my uncle, mostly to do office work (typing documents, print, watch youtube). Will not be use for gaming so to save budget I target CPU Ryzen 5 5600G.

The rest are these:

ASROCK A520M/ac WiFi AM4 Micro-ATX Motherboard
KINGSTON / LONGDIMM / DDR4 3200Mhz (16GB)
LEXAR NM620 M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe Gen3x4 SSD (1TB)
PSU / THERMALTAKE LITEPOWER / ATX POWER SUPPLY / 550W

Thoughts?

Also going to order from Shopee, which vendor is good? Please suggest thanks.
*
That board will struggle running 6 core CPU. VRM is naked. Intel is better for office use and AV1 support as well.

The usual DRAMless SSD trash again.

I heard problem with latest intel 14th gen with oxidation issue.

What is the issue with naked VRM?

What would be DRAM SSD to suggest? From what I read, there is not much issue for DRAMless SSD (NVME) for normal use.
*
Does not affect i5-12400

No heatsink on VRM = overheating

Sure, don't look for me when performance is slow or when u start getting system lockups. Newer DRAMless SSD also eats your system RAM.

Got me thinking, with the current GPU pricings, should I buy new PC now or wait another 2-3 years for the tariff issue to somewhat 'cooldown', then only buy new PC
Not sure if I can save more in future by buying PC now or investing instead.
Am at a confusing time lol
*
There will be a time where you get GPU sale with very low prices. I've seen it over and over again. Just watch for it on Lazada double digit (like 4.4), middle of the month (14-17th) and payday (24-27th) sale.
