Would you consider buying R5 2400G? Much higher multi threaded performance.

The 2400G is armed with the far more impressive Vega 11 GPU. Still playable for casual gaming at 1080p and comparable with GT1030 performance.

Skip the GT 1030 and save some money for more powerful GPU upgrades.

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but is spending rm1600 for a year old non-mining 1070 ti worth it ? Would love some feedback. Thanks.

edit : it was strix 1070ti with 2 years left on warranty.

The price is right.

Btw RM1600 is big amount of money.

1. LED strip
2. watercooling (ask ntct)
3. Add a theme (eg iron man colours, star wars, etc)
4. SLI

Don't forget those RGB cable sleeves.

Easily +30 FPS while gaming.

your rig's largely share some similarities with mine except for the brand as well as your mobo

i also planning on upgrading my RAM from 8GB to 16GB, does it have to be the same speed as in:-
If i already have 8GB DDR4 2666mhz, then i have to use the same DDR as well as 2666mhz, cannot pick the ones with DDR3/3000mhz? unsure.gif
*
Mixing DDR4 with DDR3?

288 pins vs 240 pins.

No.

Hi All Sifu, recent survey for a new PC.
Budget around 6-7k
Was checking illegear Raider PC from the website the Spec i choose around RM7k++
I try to build my own and see compare the price, this pricing i get from Lazada.
PSU no idea yet. Others basically almost the same with Illegear build.
If I can get this at around 6k+ maybe can add one more RAM to make it 16GB or another monitor.
Any advice?

Hi,

Can someone help me to choose a new case close to tecware nexus m looks. Looking for matx case with enough clearance for AIO mounted on top .

Im currently on nexus m case and trying to find some option to make it more cooler for noise reduction. Im unable to mount the AIO(ID Cooling 240) with fans on top as it is hitting the ram, currently mounted it on the front, adding more heat to my gpu.

Tqvm for the link. If it was you Kristal, what would u choose? GTX1060 or RX580? Actually I am quite skeptical towards Nvdia myself. Yeah I might save RM200-RM300 for online prices but I think postage fee to Sabah would be expensive if I order online and especially if order from different seller for the items, right?
So if it was you, what would u choose TristanX? GTX1060 or RX580? 16GB VS 8GB Ram, performance in gaming increase? Better?
*
If you have the budget for future proofing then go with RX580 and 16GB RAM.

Else RX580 and 8GB RAM.

Btw FreeSync monitors are way cheaper compared to G-Sync monitors.

Oooh I guys I need some help. Since I5 8400 is out of the stock or can only bundle with Mobo.

Which procs should I go? 2600? 2600x? Why? If ryzen, I'm planning to go only with B450 Msi Gaming Plus. sadly they have no B450 mobo in white sad.gif
*
I personally will pick the R5 2600. You can overclock it later to match or overpass the R5 2600X performance. Save some money. You already mentioned that you will use aftermarket AIO right?

The 200Mhz difference is not enough to justify the price difference.

Noted. Thank you for the heads up. 2600 is clearly value for money than 2600x. Any recommended mobo for 2600? Planning to get B3450 MSI Gaming Plus.

Red and black theme? MSI B450 Gaming Plus is a solid motherboard.

Guys hope it's ok I ask this question here. Bcs don't want to open a thread for just a yes or no question.
I just need to know, now I have 8gb ram the brand is G.skil Aegis Series 8gb ddr4 266mhz.
Now I want to add another 8gb ram stick. Do I need to buy this exactly same brand or just any 8gb ram stick will work just fine???
*
The best solution is to buy the identical DDR4 RAM sticks for maximum performance.

But any brands of 8GB DDR4 RAM will work just fine. Make sure the new sticks have same speed and compatible with your motherboard.

my existing cpu failed to fire up this morning. After checking, suspect is psu failure. symptoms: mobo led no light, psu fan not spin (any possiblilty of other hardware failure?) If memories recall correctly, this psu serves me well since 2010.

Since 2010?

It has served you well!

Hi, newbie trying to build first PC here.

I'm eyeing on Intel i5-9400F with Asus B360i Gaming

But while doing research on mobo, many were saying that I'll need an 8th gen cpu to update the Bios before it can work with 9th gen cpu.

Is it still the case now? Or new B360 mobo I'll be buying already support 9th gen out of box?
*
It's depend on your bios version.

You can simply ask the seller to update the bios to the latest version.

Means there are updated & outdated mobo in the market now?

Can I check the BIOS ver from the box?

Yes.

I've never seen they printed the bios version on the motherboard box. But there might be a sticker on the box that says support Coffee Lake Refresh.

I am not actually buying anything for now.
Just for my future reference, I want to know how big difference compared to my 6 years old pc for the same price I have spent last time.
i5 3450
gtx 660 (fan spoilt, replaced with a 3rd party fan from ebay)
ddr3 8gb
1TB
h77n wifi motherboard
80+ vs550 (replaced once, bought the same model again)
bitfenix prodigy (poor material, case became sticky after few years, replaced with segotep cube)

I think still can go for a few more years.
Just wondering, if anyone of you had let go of your old pc, where did you sell? Cybercafe? Any suggestion from Melaka?
*
RAM prices are finally cheap again and the same goes with graphic cards. This a good time for your new build.

btw guys, pls correct me if im wrong, but shouldn't all cases come with at least one fans at the front, and one at the top rear. And the front is for the air intake, and the rear is the exhaust?
*
I think it depend on the manufacturer. Some give 3 fans and some just give 2 fans per case.

Alright. ETech told me that the cases don't have front fans (the RM3K you shared with me)  because the ones on the top and rear will emit and take in the air. No need to take in the cool air at the front of the case. Basic physics know that hot air goes to the top thus fan is on top rear, so all the top fans will function as getting rid of the air.

Based on all your posts, since you always quote ETech prices, I'm not surprised if you are one of the employees/owners. So how can a company that is good in making PC, actually tells me this amateurish idea?

Was very excited to get it built, but kinda feel conned now.
*
Calm down. No one conned you.

You can change the fans position for positive or negative airflow. Some people have different preference.
