 So doh pwede magtanong and we will spare the usual audience, the usual ad by playing it now. Si Zika na para sa windows mo. Marami na kaming na tulungan. Date? Sa din di purta ko. But now, I'm from a love of my life. Date? Ingresan walang purta sa ng life ko. But now, I'm a world-class Zuba instructor. So web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel and ngayon ganoon pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko. Kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit, mura at original software.

I'm trying to think it's the last time that you missed a stream. But at least for the past couple of streams, I do think that you were there. Sub Daniel Katapang, another familiar name. Thanks for joining us this Friday evening for another Puede Magtanong which we actually did just last week. I do try to do Puede Magtanong every first Friday of the month but January was really hectic. We had giveaway raffle livestream. I went away for a little bit during the middle of the month. And then one Friday, we couldn't do Puede Magtanong one Friday because the sponsor asked us to release a video specifically on that Friday. So it kept getting pushed back and pushed back until it became last Friday of the month. But at least for February, we're back to the usual schedule. Sub Pritz, another familiar name. Sub Aeron, YouTube. Sub Arvic. Sub Burn. Ah, alright. Burn will start us off with the first tech question of the night. My favorite which I'm using in my personal rig now is the Team Group MP33, one terabyte. So I've talked about the Team Group SSDs before. They have a bunch of different models. The higher end is the Cardea, AZ4L or something. But the MP33, one TB, it's really great. The price is a lot better than some of the other SSDs on the market. For example, the Crucial P5 or the Samsung 990 Pro. And it is reliable. I've talked about it before. The Team Group SSDs don't get a lot of love. I've gotten comments saying that they're no good. They posted or the commenter had bad experience with them. But based on my experience, the Team Group SSD has been really good. And that's not just my experience, but the experience you've had with a wide volume of that SSD. What is popular is the NV2 by... Is it Kingston? Is it Kingston NV2? Let me check. Pull up Google. Yes, the Kingston NV2. The NV2 series, NV1, NV2 is super popular. But I don't like it personally kasi medyo lucy-goosey see Kingston on what parts they put in. So parang raffle siya. You're not sure if you're getting a quality component, what the memory that they used in the SSD or not. So that's what I like about Team Group. Parang consistent naman yung quality nila. Yung NV2, yes, it can be good, but it's kind of like you're playing roulette, you're playing a crapshoot. You're not quite sure if what you'll be getting. To be fair, the experience we have had with it, shop to customer, okay naman yung NV2. In terms of quality control, yung nga, maybe it just might have been good batches. It's hard for me to 100% recommend it just based on the fact that it is kind of well known that Kingston doesn't put a lot of effort into maintaining the quality of that line. It's just like whatever hardware we can get, it matches the basic specs, but in terms of durability and reliability, parang paiba-iba siya. So, yeah, my recommendation would be Team Group. Kingston NV2 is also popular, but personally yung na for various reasons, I wouldn't recommend that. Crucial, you know, they have the BX line. Actually, I think BX is for the SATA SSDs. Crucial as their P3. Crucial naman is pretty good. P3 okay, but I think it's a bit pricier than the comparative Team Group one. So, yeah, Team Group MP33 is good for me. I would love to get to try the Vision Pro. Actually, you know, most viewers know I'm not a big Apple fan. I don't have any personal products that I use that are Apple. I think that they really abuse their monopoly. I think a lot of their features, like being user friendly are a bit overhyped, but all of that said, I do like the Vision Pro. I think it does a lot of things that I have personally been thinking that should be in a VR headset. One, it's not VR, it's more AR, so you can still see the outside world, but the icons are displayed in front of you. It uses technology that recognizes where your hand is, but without using controller, so you just need to use your actual hand to interact with the icons that you see on your screen. A lot of people have criticized it for kind of like the look. You know, it's not as... They think Apple, they think it's going to look good. I think the Vision Pro already looks pretty good for a VR headset. They have the kind of comfortable, ski goggles kind of strap thing going on. So, you know, I don't have any experience with it. I actually haven't watched a lot of videos about it, but from what I've heard about it, I would like to try one if anybody is watching from Apple. Send me over one. I'd be really curious to try it. I don't... From a user perspective, like productivity standpoint, I can see it working. It is a bit pricey. Of course, it's virtual, it's an AR VR headset. And there is technology there, right? I mean, it's not like you can say that you're not getting your money's worth. I think there is a lot of innovation there. As a gamer, I think the... What's the one after the Vive? Like, sorry, this... Valve came out with their own VR headset for gaming, so that was a while back. But I think, you know, the Vision Pro isn't really about for gaming. It's more for productivity, so unfair to compare it to gaming headsets. I did own Vive... Sorry, I got to use the Vive before from HTC. Those are pretty good. I mean, I had a good time playing around with them. Although with my current setup, it's hard to really maintain a VR setup because I have an island here in the middle, so I'm just gonna keep bumping into that. And I did like this wall. This is a wall basically right beside me here in my left. I would keep hitting that at a samurai game, and I would smash the controller into the wall because this current room where I have my PC setup isn't that conducive to VR headset. Is the N-Max the one from... I have seen other AR headsets in the past, which I have been curious to try, but I don't recognize the N-Max the N-Max brand. I got asked this also last week about Kuri. My personal answer is I don't have any experience with it, so I can't say thumbs up or thumbs down either way. Again, if you're from Kuri, we've gotten a lot of inquiries about that, especially from pwede magtanong viewers. Yeah, send us one. Sup, guys? Can you see the line here? Again, frequent viewers know the story behind that. In Kuri, I don't have personal experience, but I do recall a viewer chiming in last week saying na, okay naman. Like, there were some YouTubers that do have review videos on that brand. And I think the consensus was okay naman siya for kind of like an entry-level monitor. But again, yung ad, that's here, say at my part, I do not have personal experience. I also don't have experience with this. I have bought secondhand GPUs in the past, but all from the local market, I do not have experience actually buying it from China. I'm not familiar with this brand, DHKJ. For me, like any secondhand part naman sugal yan. Buying it straight from China, if you don't know anyone who's done it before, who can't watch for that seller. Personally, for me, that's a bit dodgy. Weying, yes, I'm saving a lot of money, but on the other hand, the card could be a complete flop. So for me, that's too much of a risk. I would buy on the local market, even from total strangers, as long as the, parang medyo legit naman yung posting, okay naman yung price, okay naman kausap. I would do that with a total stranger here. Locally, I have done that a bunch of times. But getting it from China, yung ay, you have no experience with that seller. Like you don't have anyone that can watch for it. It's kind of, it's kind of price, it's kind of iffy for me. Soap, Maverick Hornet, we'll get to your crypto question in a little bit. I am super psyched about crypto in general, like the past three months or so. Thank you, Martin Badoy. Soap, thanks for joining us again. Yeah, team group MP33. So good. I mean, yung yan, for personal experience, my boot drive is an MP33. Recommended ATX case with good airflow budget friendly, Montec. We've done a bunch of Montec builds. The Montec Air 100. Yeah, that's it really. Montec Air 100. To be fair, we did, we don't carry it in the shop, but we did review very recently, the Dark Flash DS900. Rocky the programmer did that review. And okay naman, like they do look good, they have good airflow. So, based on the review, the limited experience that we have with it, okay naman yung DS900, although I would still recommend the Montec just because we have sold a ton of them in the shop. And yung yan, we're very familiar with the quality. To my recollection, we've never had to RMA any of the Montec cases. So Montec Dark Flash, those would be the recommendations I could do based on personal experience and shop experience. R7, 5700X, and 700XT? Sure, yeah. Go for it. Yes, I mean, long story short, yes. If you could spend a bit more, the 5700X3D, basically the X3D is the CPU line of AMD where they added more cash to the CPU. Technical stuff aside, it just means that single core applications like games, you know, you can have, your CPUs these days have a bunch of cores, like they have multiple cores on them. But actually for gaming, you don't need a lot of cores. And what the X3D, the 3D architecture of AMD allows it to do is that it basically boosts the single core applications like games. Sorry, I don't really have a bad cuff, but my throat is a little scratchy today. But yeah, the X3D architecture boosts gaming performance significantly. So if you're going to be using it for both games and work and you have, you want, and from the specs alone, I can tell that you do want good gaming performance with that GPU, with that CPU. If you can spend a bit more, it's too late to get the 5700X3D or even step up to a 5800X3D for gaming. A lot of people say yes for me, no. I've tackled this question again and previously ang pwede magtanong. For me, it's nice to have, but I don't go out of my way to get an SSD with it. In fact, all of my SSDs are drumless. The MP33 is drumless. It's like nice to... And again, it's one of those things that people who are really into PC hardware like to point to because it's an easy way to show that you're an expert. If you're talking about GPUs, you say you're, you know, it's bottleneck. Oh, parang bottleneck sounds so exotic. You sound like an expert right away. When it comes to SSDs, I feel that the go-to answer if you want to sound like an expert is that oh, you need to get one with drum. Number one, it's actually kind of difficult to determine which SSDs have drum. A lot of the manufacturers don't automatically include that in their specs because they're kind of dodging the question because sometimes they'll have drum depending on supply issue. Sometimes they don't, so they don't want to categorically that this model all of the time has drum. And second of all, there is a performance boost naman, but yun nga, I feel that the headache that you're putting yourself on, the headache that you can induce on yourself trying to find a drum at SSD with drum compared to just going on the flow and getting a drumless SSD. I'm pretty sure the NV2 of Kingston also doesn't have drum. So, yes, it's not super important for me. That is a minority opinion among enthusiasts. And if you're the kind of person that likes to obsess over these things and really call up shops to find a particular model and that's how you like to spend your time, hats off to you. I mean, that's what gives you pleasure. That's how that ranks as enjoyment for you. So, for me, I'm happy with reliability, enjoyability. Yung sigurada ako na hindi mamamata yung SSD and Team Group MPE33 has checked that box for me, no problem. So, my personal opinion, it's not super important. I mean, in the ideal world where you can find the specs right away, you can find the price right away, you can find the hardware component right away. This ideal platonic world, right? But in our world, to be honest, I would rather spend a lot more of my time focusing on components that I like to obsess about rather than the SSD. It's negligible to me. Answered already. Sup, guys, sir. To be fair, I don't have any experience with either end vision or query. We do have an old video where I got the three cheapest gaming monitors of Lazada. They weren't even end vision. They actually have held up pretty well. This is a BenQ gaming monitor, the EX2780Q. You notice it has black lines here. That's not the image. Whatever I go to, it's even clearer here in the hardware sugar website. That's burned in already into the monitor. Frequent viewers, I've commented many times why this has a dark line here. Dark lines actually plural. Yes, so I won't repeat that story. I'm sure you guys are tired of hearing about it. Sup, John, from YouTube. BV500 for a 5600XT. EVJ is a good brand for PSUs. BV is their lower end one. I want to say yes. You're probably okay, but I would feel so you would probably be okay. But there is a chance that your games might suck more power. Your GPU might need more power because of the games that you're playing. And the 500W might be inadequate. So I would really prefer 550W or even a 650W for an RX 5600XT. That said, if you've already bought it and you're not experiencing any problems, then you're fine. If you're thinking of a new build or cobbling together from different second hand parts, you are running a risk. Personally, I would say it's okay, but ideally, if you don't want to run that risk, 550W, 650W would be better. So, Yeezer, Yes, Warner from YouTube. I have a Gen 4 CPU-GPU, but I have a Gen 3 MOBO. Should I upgrade to Gen 4 MOBO or just stick to my Gen 3? Not quite sure what you mean by Gen 4, actually. If you're talking about PCIe 4, that's GPU-related. CPU naman, you talk about PCIe lanes, but you don't really use Gen 4 or Gen 3 label. Short answer, you don't need to. Especially for GPUs, there is performance going from PCIe 3 to PCIe 4. No question, there is a performance gain. But the performance gain is more seen in academic or benchmarking settings like in theoretical artificial benchmarks. In real-world applications, you do see a performance increase, but not by that much, not so much that I would recommend buying a completely brand-new motherboard. So, you know, you're talking about setting yourself back maybe 8,000 for a good motherboard. I would just keep that money and save up for something else. If you're looking to increase performance, like you could save up to upgrade to a GPU, a better GPU and things like that, yes, you would still have the kind of, well, you're kind of bottlenecked by the PCIe 3 architecture, but in real-world applications, the performance loss isn't that great. So, I would just save the money. I mean, I wouldn't upgrade. I would save the money and focus on something else. Zagbot from the internet, ah, sorry, you said what's up internet. What's up, Zagbot from YouTube. Well, Martin Badoi has experience with Envision. 24-inch, 1080p, 75Hz. Shout-out Paul Christian Toregosa whom I, the name is familiar. Did I give a shout-out in a previous stream or I can't quite remember? Yes, dances with waifus. Sup, you haven't heard the story? I would, I will tell the story again. But just to a little bit on Martin Badoi's comment, to be fair, 75Hz is a little slow for gaming. Maybe that's why it looked a little weird on War Thunder. I remember Paul Christian Toregosa maybe that's why it's familiar. Sup, Balini Cuisine. Thanks for joining us from Facebook. Ha, okay. Sorry, I thought it was another AR headset. May parang AR headset ako na that I was like kind of idly, briefly considering. It started also with N, but I guess it really depends. Like are you a motor, are you a, what do they call the car guys? Like gear head, are you a gear head or are you a PCMR kind of guy? Although Vision Pro is by Apple so Apple does not consider that's PCMR. Alright, we're going to get to the question of every coordinate. So I have never had so sorry guys, this is a crypto question if you're tuning in for, but I'll answer it very quickly. So I am into crypto, I've done a bunch of live streams on it. We're in the middle of a trilogy of videos about crypto. I'm actually editing the second one now. So Binance is an exchange which you can log on to when you trade crypto currency. But the Philippine SEC has threatened to cut our access. Our meaning people in the Philippines access to Binance or Binance. Short answer to my every coordinate question. I've never had money. I'm not a, I don't have an account on Binance. I've never traded on Binance. I've never had any experience in Binance. Because the exchange is, the exchange that I've done all of my trading on for the past 10 years or so is cracking. And just this month, sorry it's February, just like a couple of days ago I started on Bybit for their copy trading. Which I will talk more about in on this month's episode of Crypto Watch. But yun, that those are the two exchanges that I would recommend now. I do use local exchanges like Pidax and Coinsot PH just in case I need to convert some of my pesos into crypto and then transfer them to the exchanges that I use abroad. I do not use a DEX, a decentralized exchange. And I talk about that in the video sorry, let me just it's the video, it's the most recent video we did about crypto like if you're a beginner and you want to start trading, what are we like how do you go about it? And yeah, here sorry, I'm just going to post the link like for beginners and you're kind of interested in starting to trade crypto, that is our video on it. Oh, more viewer feedback bouncy bear using a query monitor for three months now? Although three months is six months or a year a year before we pass judgment if you're a hardware trigger customer no, it has to physically break not physically I don't want you to stop your NVMe drive but I mean it has to stop it can't be read anymore or some other error before we can send it back to the supplier unless the brand has a specific guarantee regarding health and I'm sure they would specify like a particular program that would determine the health of the SSD in that case we'll just follow the brand and if it's within their time frame then yes, but if it's from us like the warranty it would have to be broken sa panton, just me for pwede magtanong it's been a while actually since we had a panel on board after the pandemic lifted everybody was like oh I have my own life and now I'm sad and alone although it is a lot easier to do a monologue rather than having to to be honest I got a little stressed having a lot of people on the panel because no you want to keep it lively and make sure everybody is engaged they have to make sure everybody got their two cents in and stuff so it kind of being like a moderator was a little stressful to be honest sub ace how much po 4070ti asus we don't have the ace we I know yes we should have it I don't know the exact price please message us on facebook so that we can look up the price I don't have the price list with me but yeah 850W 850W PSU especially if it's 80 plus gold should be very sufficient for the 4070ti or 4070ti as nvidia wants us to call it actually the 40 series cards in general are much more power efficient that's a benefit that not a lot of people that doesn't get talked about quite as much and I think as it should not that I'm an nvidia fanboy but the power efficiencies you compare the 4060 to the 3060 a lot more efficient and that's generally true over the whole 40 line I guess that is one way although this is a 27 inch and I do have four monitors so I feel that I don't need to sub divide this although as you mentioned I do use it I have several videos on just how to use multiple monitors and how to set them up properly the power point question is fancy zones and I have it installed I use it everyday and I do have a video because I do have four monitors it becomes a pain in the ass where you have to manually open them so now I have a button here on my stream deck I just press a button and then all of the different windows like my browser here, my fiber here my youtube window there and my other browser here brave browser, all of that snaps into place automatically so it saves me a lot of time in the morning or whenever I have to boot up because I do shut down my computer I'm not the kind of guy who leaves his computer actually for me if I'm not using it my primary monitor is turned off again if you watch that video I switch it to a dead input so the monitor goes black but the monitor is still on and like whenever possible like I'm not using my computer I will turn it off I want to save electricity and also you know just I don't know mabalist naman magboot up ng window with an SSD so I don't really feel I need to have it on all of the time plus again with the one press button setup that I did on my stream deck it's quite easy to go from a brand new setup to having all of my windows in place quite quickly that is true but you know I have never like my SSD has never died on me my oldest SSD is a crucial mx500 so that is a bit of a more pricier SSD but it's been with me for years man years and I use it for my games because before I didn't have an NVMe on my old computer but I did have the mx500 got I killed the mosquito and now I use that SSD drive for my games saving the NVMe for windows and other programs I want to run fast like DaVinci Resolve and yeah it's still kicking like years later like I'm not a power user but I turn on every day for sure there's a lot of read write going on there to the mx500 but it is still very darn good I think more than the brand it's more like the model of the GPU in question although I mean that being said like an ROG probably would have a higher resale value than like say for example colorful or even gigabyte but for GPU I think the more the factor that I use into resale value more would be the model ultra-wide monitor with 1440 display the latest ultra-wide I tried is beautiful is a QD quantum dot OLED the ROG PG49WCD although I think it does go above I think it's 4K I think so it does go above 1440p the other ultra-wide that I personally got to try was also from ASUS let me check but I kind of hesitate to recommend it because it's kind of an old model like I got to try it out panong pandemic so it is an older ROG XG349C I think that's a 2K monitor that's a 1440p monitor 34 inches might be might be more doable than the PG49WCD which is a beautiful monitor but of course it is a bit pricey being OLED and faster and it's like super ultra-wide or something it's like really maganda yung PG49WCD actually 349C maganda rin naman it is still being sold but may be you might find with a more updated model those are just the two ultra-wides because I personally have had a lot of experience on so those are the ones that come to mind okay, see this is where I thought you were talking about the 4070ti but you actually want the 4070ti super, we don't have the ASUS stuff yet one let me check actually we had a 4080 super custom order from the shop and a 4070 super which we're gonna stock but none of the 4070ti super which is I don't know you'd have to message and we tried to find it we'd have to like see who has it and what's available we do in the shop I do in my own house but I don't really dump a lot of files on to the NAS I need to find time to carve out and get to play around with the NAS but both of the NAS we have both in shop and in my house now actually I'm just pointing it down there it's just like on the floor there are from Terra Master which we got to review they sent us the NAS for review and both of our reviews are up on the site sorry are up on the channel pretty good I have very limited experience with NAS but I found them to be pretty good alright it's past the 30 minute mark I will just play the ad again sorry catch you after the break piliin ang preferred play-pen battle wala pang 5 minutes nagsizigit na para sa windows mo marami na kaming na tulungan Dati 7 departs ako but now I found a love of my life Dati ikumresan walang purchase ang life ko but now I'm a world-class Zuba instructor so web developer ako and content creator for a youtube channel and ngayon ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko kaya ako nagahahanap ka ng legit mura at original software check out cdkoffer.co check out cdkoffer.com check out cdkoffer.co check out cdkoffer.co alright on with the questions Paul from Facebook Paul na mag-round yung cpu ko pag-patay pero pag-bukas na mawala wala akong avr, nakasalpak lang sa extension din pansin ko din pag-inopen ko yung cpu when I open my computer when he turns on his computer late nag-open yung RAM ko late it won't turn on if it doesn't have RAM so I'm assuming when you mean late nag-open yung RAM like you have RGB RAM and the lights don't turn on right away don't worry about it as long as it boots up and you can check in windows na tama like you have 16GB and it shows up in windows that you have 16GB I wouldn't worry too much about the RGB being a little delayed grounding in general is not normal so if you touch any metal part of any component whether it is your the case of your computer whether it's a monitor because we have had cases where instances where consumers have gotten grounded on their monitors any instance of grounding is not usual but sometimes it's just really hard to figure out the most common is from a case and usually some wire is dumping excess electricity into the case and so that's what causes the grounding so you might want to try rewiring it internally if you're comfortable with your computer and just adjusting the wires inside making sure all of the socket the plug in the back of the computer is firmly secure it can be a challenge to get rid of the grounding to be honest and it is one of those things that I would say just live with it like you turn on your computer you don't usually need to touch the case after that so you should be fine like even if there is some current sorry I got it confused when your PC is turned on then you don't get grounded yeah well in general if yeah just don't touch the case I mean when it's off usually the buttons because they are not metal so do you even get grounded even when you press the button the on button in that case that would be annoying although if you easily remedied just don't touch it with your finger get something touch it with that it's not normal but it's not the end of the world 5600X yes sir again yes 5600X CPU 3070Ti GPU still good in 2024 for 2K gaming yeah as always it depends on what games you are playing but in general that setup for 1080p and 1440p I don't think you would have any problems stop Dave Matthew we'll get to your question I'll just go through the earlier ones first thrifts from YouTube have we encountered a monitor issue when it started horizontal lines and partial black stream occurs when frequency is set more than 120hz um no I also not familiar if the AOC24G2E is rated beyond 120hz you could try updating the firmware of the monitor and see if that solves it usually when we see lines like that like you know black lines general distortion of the screen usually means the monitor is failing regardless of the refresh rate that you have it set on again actually it's a convenient example you can see it better when I change so this monitor has several black lines vertical black lines in the middle I've been using it for a little while now actually I can't notice black lines although I am anticipating that eventually this monitor will fail I had an old ASUS monitor it started out with screen distortions and eventually the display just failed so in general that is a worrisome sign but you could try updating firmware and things like that maybe that will solve the problem we do try to stock it regularly I think we can get it as a custom order I do recall that Russ who is sort of nominally in charge now of stocking of inventory it used to be me for a very long time but just last month we transitioned it to Russ I know that he was trying to get the 5800X3D but may rapan because most of our supplies were out but I think I think we can get it again and we do try to we do try to stock it when it is available I got another crypto question we'll get to it I agree 850W is quite a lot already for me 750W is enough but like with that said I hastened to say that I wouldn't recommend using 700W or 750W with a 4090W you're getting a resource I don't want to think about an app analogy but basically you're getting something super fast you don't want to hobble it when it needs power to run its fastest and your PSU just can't deliver and if you have a 4090W you might as well also get an ATX4 PSU there are a lot of improvements under the hood especially for especially for the 4000 series for the 4000 series GPU, sorry my mind was like my mind blanked out a little bit but yes I mean you know if you're at that product to your level just spend a little bit more for the for the for your 4090 I do I do enjoy that like when I press a button on my stream deck and it's like it is fun no need to go nuts for the 5700G get a decent 1080p a 4060 or one of the 7000 series of AMD no need to complicate things if you need a step lower than that a step lower than the 4060 or the 7000 series GPUs like I would recommend like a second hand 6000 series from AMD if you can find one those are pretty good value for money even then and they're even better value for money now if you can get like you can find a good one second hand not ATTA in the shop but we can get it as a custom order wait let me check I'm checking now like um yeah no we don't have the oros B550M but yes we can get it as a custom order but we don't have it on stock now good CPU for a 4070 Super um yes I know what you mean yung parang CPU comparable of the R53600 came out late 2022 um I mean I always say that people over high bottleneck but at the same time you have a good card 4070 Super you might as well get something a bit within its league so a 5600 or even a 5600X I mean ideally you would get something like the 5700X3D or even the 5800X3D but um yeah you can get like a 5600X from the AMD side from the Intel side um like you're asking about price so 13th gen pa rin because hindi ganong kalayo yung prices ng 13th gen and 14th gen and the price, the performance different is kind of negligible so maybe I get like a 13600K or something um to pair with that with that one all of these things I mean they cost a little bit of money like I it's a little of a bit of a stretch to say in a budget kahit na yung 5600 although yung nga based on our price watch we do have an episode every month where we track all of the prices of the big four PC retailers um the price of the 5600X has been going down so I mean there is that but I would hesitate to call it like a truly budget CPU but yeah but I wouldn't pair 4070 Super with like a 5500 it's like um mejo I mean yung nga I'm not a big fan of like the whole bottleneck debate but even I would like kind of cringe at that Kraken is not regulated by our SEC but Kraken is a lot more under the radar where SEC wouldn't bother with them I mean it is a very big exchange but it's not like top of mind like when you say when you say an exchange you automatically think finance um Kraken is not top of mind even among the traders abroad best way to remove an AMD stock cooler without ripping the CPU I will get to that John Oliver from Facebook normal lang po ba yung GPU coil coil wine coil wine either GPU or PSU is kind of like when you get grounded it's not normal but it happens often enough that hindi siya nakakagulat and just like a grounding situation it is a real pain in the ass to try to figure out how to stop coil wine so it is not normal but it's not something that I would it's not the end of the world it's not something that I would generally stress out about especially because if it usually only happens when the GPU is under load and that's when you're gaming and when you're gaming rest assured that the sounds you will be hearing will be explosions people screaming and things like that your ears will have better things to worry about rather than the coil wine of the GPU I think it is unnecessary in the sense that I don't really like I was reading about it before and to be honest like I can't even distinguish like hindi siya tumatak with me na madistinguish ko off the top of my head like what the new like it's a core series versus the old style way of doing it the i5 1400k or whatever so I researched about it before but it was so the difference was so minimal that I can't even remember now what they were going for so I think if as a means to distinguish the products they needed something more distinctive like completely separate because how about they still use the nomenclature the nomenclature of the old ones and kind of just kind of separated it it's not good it's not good because it's not clear I think it just muddies the water some more so whoever is doing their naming thing I'm not a big fan of that yung masamalang na-epecto is on you on the user if you get grounded there is no effect that I know on the hardware like it won't it's not running down your psu hindi nakakasama sa motherboard and things like that I have not heard of any study or any even anecdotal experience where there is a ground in the system and that causes long-term effects on the hardware Rune 2 um no we can do it as installment um yeah you can do custom orders as installment you just have to come back because you installment you can either do it through our site and that's Belize um so you can do it online but most installments are via credit card that one you do need to come into the shop so you'll need to come into the shop and then after that you need to come back again to the shop after we get your item in unless you pay for delivery which you can do naman but yeah that's no problem um custom orders paid by installment completely fine I filimon mga has from youtube I do not use RGB in my rig so actually I have very little practical knowledge on it like I have seen the RGB builds in the shop I played around with some of them but I haven't I don't have any RGB on my rig so I don't have any I don't have a lot of experience with the RGB software although for me I would tend to choose software and products that don't require third party software like the Corsair IQ or even Lian Li like I prefer like like the deep cool stuff usually you can use a bunch of different RGB software with deep cool hardware and with some of the other brands it's just usually the yung mas hoity-toity na mas expensive mas premium like NZXT and Corsair that requires you that sticks you into their RGB software setup so I would choose brands that would that you can use with open type RGB software like open RGB so if I were going with an RGB build that's what I would recommend and keep in mind sub lazy cable manager very slowly that's a rather and kind of like don't rip it off like don't rip it off like top like bottom rising upward I would try to kind of slide it off is what I would do sub Casey Bollos we'll get to your question in a bit go for it like even with a 4080 I would 4080 and a comparable CPU still very good with a 750W PSU like I would only recommend above 750 if you're getting like a 4090 or if you're having like a 4080 and like a bonker CPU like the 4900K from Intel for example but you can go really far with a 750W just to illustrate so I have a 750W 80 plus gold PSU from FSB on my current rig I'm running a 3080 which I think power efficiency wise it draws more power than the 4080 because you know older gen and I'm running a 5900X which is a pretty high end CPU and also so it uses can use a lot of power also I've had no problems with the 750W PSU from FSB so you can go really far with that you can yep yes thank you Christopher Makuto referring to the podcast episode it's up on the channel now the title is the internet cafe is dead long live the internet cafe and in general like I'm really having a lot of fun with doing the podcast episodes yung long term viewers have long time viewers have heard me talk about it extensively on other shows on other livestreams so I won't jump I won't like do it again best offer for overall diagnosis on a system unit like you do need to use a bunch of software like I like using CPU Z and GPU Z just so that you can properly monitor and you can check like you're actually getting the proper CPU I mean that's that's just the number one basic thing like say you bought second hand item then you pop in the CPU tapos it's a different CPU pala and then you do need software to stress test the components usually CPU and GPU so we use Cinebench we use Furmark we use Heaven so there are a bunch of programs that we use for our diagnostics so unfortunately there isn't just one program Time Spy for 3D what's the full name of Time Spy 3D Mark Time Spy so we do use a bunch of programs to for diagnosis to stress test so it's especially there's not just one program that can do it all View Sonic they're pretty good price wise they're not like super budget but they're not also extremely expensive as well they're usually pretty good value for money my again it's hard to see but my monitor here I had an old gaming monitor from View Sonic sobrang tagal na nito it is still running now I don't use it for gaming anymore but it is one of my have it tilted up so it also had like a built in tilt so I tilted it up so it's now it's in a portrait mode and I use it for my chat my Slack chat with everybody at hardware sugar is yes to Anton monitor fun I need a PG-49 WCD in my life ah my laptop my laptop is in ASUS 1 sorry let me I did have just recently I did you I forget the model so it's it's not a gaming laptop but it's very good for what I needed to do I even do rough edits on it and I like I specifically got it because it's OLED this is the review video we did a couple of months back the model is there so it's a 15 inch from ASUS and I it's a touch screen so it's not on now like my desktop like my laptop I just turn it off when I don't need it but it is touch screen and it is like a flip screen and you know a lot of a lot of laptop reviewers kind of poo poo that na parang it's just a gimmick what you're gonna use it for na it flips up all the way and it's touch screen but for my needs I really enjoy having that added functionality because you can you know you wanna watch videos on it you can lay it down like this and then like it's much better on the lap you can also use it tablet like this and then the screen does it automatically and things so I did pay a bit more for like the touch screen and the OLED but for my use case this is not a gaming laptop I don't game on it I prefer to do all of my gaming on my desktop but I am out a lot more now with the kids like I need to bring my eldest to school and I do have a part time job now at the school and things like that this laptop is super convenient Thank you Den's Corner for the sub actually if I could ask you a question what video did or live stream or whatever did you come across that convinced you to start watching us like that would be I'd be curious about that the tables have turned sub lazy cable manager speaking of my eldest I do hear her soon and again long time viewers know that's usually how the stream ends when my three year old comes rushing through that door Thank you we do try to provide value to our subscribers to the followers by giving good tech advice and just being honest in general like we review something we actually used it we actually spent time on the review and having we have speaking of spend time on we have a video coming out tomorrow it drops tonight for members 24 build tips in 2024 it took a bit longer than I wanted like I wanted it to come out sunny in January because it's the kind of thing that you release at the start of the year but yeah we have a bunch of tips there 24 tips I think it's a good video it packs a lot of value so there's a lot of info there useful both to beginners and enthusiasts but the language like we really tried to make sure na accessible as with all of our videos so I'm actually in the middle of last minute edits on that rendered the main edit and I'm doing some last minute edits but the members will have that up by tonight and then it drops to the public tomorrow Grabin ang Casey Bolius pa rin napaka that seems very it seems like a very businessman like question and I don't fancy myself a businessman like with all of these one year plans and things like that for 2024 like to be honest I just wish the shop would make money the shop has never made money like God's honest truth I'm always borrowing money from people to keep the shop going he does so many expenses and like you know to be honest just like between us I am kind of tired of the shop it is such a headache keeping track of suppliers keeping track of like hey you know we ordered the 4070 how come we're out of 4070s now where did that GPU go I mean it's such a pain in the ass dealing with RMAs and all of that and then to top it all off it's not even profitable I mean you know just to be fully transparent and I keep having to borrow for my own funds and things like that so like my only goal for 2024 for the channel for the shop is for it to be profitable sana like we can get out of the red kind of stabilize and from there maybe in 2025 like have a you know branch out like have a new branch because running a PC shop and like the way we want to do it like we're really focused on customer service we don't it's really tiring man I apologize this isn't like a line this moment you know it's like super tired and whatever it is it weighs heavily on my mind it is constantly like to be honest I make more money with my crypto trading than I do from the shop at least the crypto trading is in the green the shop has always been in the red but to be fair because it's in the shop we plow it back into the shop our employees ask for more money we give them more money like nidaman masamalob ko guys but yeah the employees ask for more money we move to a larger place I mean the money that we make from the shop gets spent back into the shop but like just for one year sana like I would like because you know people are making money from the shop our employees are paid well I think sometimes they disagreed and they ask for more money but yeah we have a bunch of employees I think they're paid really well for the kind of work environment that I tried to foster and the kind of work that you know I asked them to do so I wish for this year that I would make some money from the shop and again so enough with that I mean it is I hate these kind of like people who go online it's like oh pity me kawawan mo na ako and you know it's not that kind of channel I'm not that kind of person but that is my simple goal for the shop for 2024 na we get out of the red for the channel and again like being completely honest to the channel I feel that our latest videos have not been as popular as the old ones I feel like I've lost some of my old mojo in terms of just getting to sit down and like really script out videos that I think would be popular because I do like seeing the videos popular not for my own ego because yeah I mean again at this point like I mean there's my ego has been stroked enough by reaching you know silver play button by having the podcast I mean I'm the podcast like really does well compared to what it was doing before because I took the time to sit down and kind of like think of what would be what I'm interested in but also maybe what what's also of value like these are stories that are not being told and I feel that it's super of value to the local audience and even audiences abroad that might be interested in the local tech scene to hear about those stories but yeah so like lately I feel that the videos haven't been up to par just in terms of performance I think I think the content is there but like when we do click baity when we do click baity thumbnails like the latest price watch episode last month where I'm just holding up a coke bottle that did really well like the content is the same but just because we came up with the kind of like a snappy title and the thumbnail more people watched and people enjoyed it people didn't complain it was click baity so I think it's just for the channel for 2024 it's kind of getting the old mojo back more views and whether that means content although I feel like the content quality is kind of the same maybe being like a little snappier with the edits a little faster with the edits maybe finding titles and thumbnails that resonate more and also just in general having videos that are more like beginner centric like we know it's popular but it's hard to do it like one video a month now beginner centric one video a month na deep dive into something things like that ba I think those would be goes for the channel but again I feel like I'm really stretched not just with work like with the shop and with the channel but it also my personal life because my kids are so young I do want to spend time with them I don't get to game as much anymore I don't get to read as much but that's just how it is like where I am with my life that I have so many different things going on that I do have certain goals but like actually sitting down and you know like okay let's do this it's a little but you know I'm having fun na man and I think at the end of the day that's super important and all the things that I'm pouring my time into whether it's the shop or the channel or my kids or my crypto trading I feel na man are very valuable to me like as a person and whatever like you know I think they enrich my life so I'm not complaining about the things that I do but I do wish that I had more time to slow down and maybe that should be my ultimate goal in 2024 I think this my little speech just now maybe answer the question it is a real pain in the ass to open up a PC shop I'm not gonna lie you gotta love the space before before you open it either that or I'm just a bad businessman which again I'm honest enough with myself but maybe I am just really as a bad businessman I actually did a video on this what I like about the channel is a lot of the time like I have a question and I actually get to experiment on it let me so this is the UPS like the thumbnail literally says ilang VA kailangan like the spec of the UPS I would just recommend watching this video but long story short I would generally recommend like a 1200 VA or 1500 VA UPS and for a lot of setups that is completely okay na okay, we're just gonna skip around a little bit no, no, no, no I will not cheat on my PG48UQ the Samsung ones are usually pretty good although you need to be careful because with Samsung they also have the panel type that they use because like once I've tried OLED I can't go back Samsung does have OLED panels but they also have like these very large ultra-wides na VA type panels so I wouldn't get those so the Samsung 24 inch S3 I think maybe that's entry level I haven't had any experience with it in general Samsung monitors are okay na man but a bit pricey you can see the reflection of my primary monitor here with the glass behind me I answered this a while ago but as far as I know no like it doesn't matter like the static electricity or it's actually I don't iba kasi ang static sa ground like if you're getting if you're getting sorry the experience feels the same but iba yung static electricity cost by like the rubbing of things or there's a charge compared to like it got a charge from like current I think that's different but the the painful effect can be the same but either way either the static well okay the ESD the electrostatic discharge yes can destroy components that's why you're supposed to ground yourself or let the current from you flow out into something metal before touching anything so ESD yes can destroy things but it has to be really high levels of ESD and you know LTT has a video where he tests that out painfully like what level of static electricity would damage your component but like the ground like because there's current flowing through it some excess current I have never heard of it destroying a PC and you have a very nice monitor now Liya Magnaya yes that's true we don't a lot of times you don't actually have a physical ground like the one that actually na kabaun sa lupa like ground like literally ground thank you smash the omelette and good to see you again yes LTT had a video with electro boom no naman still hanging in there still hanging in there yeah do you see Logan in the background he is a frequent the dog is a frequent guest on our live streams alright so I do have to go because A I still need to finish editing the 24 build tips video and two I have to make dinner which I told myself I would do by six o'clock prior to the stream but I had to do I had to do the edit actually there are like a bunch of things that I I felt ko lang pa sa video that's why I'm putting them in now so I will do one last question from Patty Meals and then I am tapping out for the night but please do check out the video tomorrow 24 build tips for 2024 and Patty's question is yung motherboard ba na kakaroon ng password sa BIOS may chance ba bang magamit yun I did not know actually you could put a password through the BIOS I have very limited experience with this on a theoretical level I think the brand so you send it back to either gigabyte or ASUS or whoever can wipe that and you could try like a firmware update like a sort of BIOS update because there are some BIOS updates that you can do without having to go through BIOS I think right you can just the one with forget what they call it but you just USB and then you tell it to read the USB first I don't because you usually do that I still update through the BIOS even though the mobile has a functionality sorry long story short I don't know I think you could probably get your brand to try to wipe it if you can get the shop that you bought it from to send it back and the brand is willing I don't know there are a lot of ifs but maybe alright I know it has been it's an hour 11 on the stream countdown Thanks so much for watching guys thanks for having me on a Friday night this has been Pwede magtanong episode 47 I think a whole bunch of content still dropping you're going to see me for the next 7 days straight whether it's a video or a live stream or a gaming stream also because the sponsor asked us to do a bunch of them early on in the month so we're happy to comply so enjoy the weekend see you guys thank you
