 What's up internet? Maraming good tech advice sa internet, lalo pa na galing sa hardware sugar, but this video isn't about good tech advice. Yung video na to, tongkul sa not following good advice. I also like to live dangerously. Nakakatamat kasi paminsan, sundin yung advice na yan. Algubin yung tamad. Pero may nasiha ba na component o nabawasan ba performance ko kasi hindi ako sumunod sa good tech advice. Alami natin, pero yung di ka talaga napatamarin isa pan-activate ng windows mo. Kusunay di ka lang ng windows. Pero saan ko hukuan ng legit windows? Daming options, daming prices. Aka nito. Gudi na lang, may cdkeyovers.com. Wadalilang ng order. Search for the software you need. Add to cart. Daan ka sa payment options nila. Wala apag 5 minutes finished. May legit, working cdkey ka na para sa windows mo. Gamitan lang aming code para makakuhapan ng discounts. Kaya kung nagahalap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkeyovers.com Punang good tech advice is follow the QVL. Ano yun? When you buy a RAM, may QVL list yan. Basically sinasabi nung manufacturer ng RAM na, uho, na testing ko na to sa iba't ibang motherboards. At yung mga pumasa, dinigay ko sa isang listahan. Yun yung qualified vendor list, or yung QVL. So dapat, pagbibili ka nung RAM. Chechek mo muna kung na sa QVL ba yung motherboard, kung sa'n ma-i-installan yung RAM. Yung QVL, yung guarantee nung brand na, yes, dapat 100% compatible yung RAM na yan, sa motherboard na yan. So that's the good tech advice. Pero to be honest, pag ako buhay-bili, di nga ako tumitingin sa QVL. Pag DDR3, DDR4, you know, these are tested technologies. Medyo kung DDR3 RAM, any DDR3 board, puwede naman. DDR4 RAM, any DDR4 board, puwede naman. So I've done it. I've never actually looked any more at a QVL list. Binibili ko lang yung RAM na kailangan ko or meet sa budget ko. Never naman ako na ka problema. That said, dapat talaga check mo yung QVL para lang siguro ado. On a practical level, it will most likely work kahit wala yung motherboard sa QVL. Kasi sa totoo lang, hindi naman talaga ma-test nung brands lahat ng mga motherboards on the market. For example, na-release yung RAM nung 2019 that's ng bagong board sa 2020. Ah, si Kasuin pa ba nung brand na? Uy, check natin yung luman naming RAM dito sa ano. Andaming mga products na palagay lumalabas sa market, it's really impossible for the brands to constantly update the QVL lists. Kaya on a practical level for DDR3, DDR4, usually okay ka na, but to be safe, the general tech advice, which is good advice, is to always check the QVL. Itong next advice, dapat sundan ko talaga, pero niko pa rin sinusundan. Pansinin mo yung plug para sa computer mo, dapat may third-prong yan. Kung wala, tinanggal yun. Pwede ba tanggalin yun and dapat mo bang gawin? Karamihan ng mga devices sa metal casing may third-prong and that's the grounding-prong. Safety device yun, kasetakot yung mga designers na baka may magulo sa loob ng case or nung device, baka may live wire na tatapat dun sa metal case. Live wire with a metal case maging electrified yung case na yun. Ano mga ngayare, paghawak mo dun sa case, masasya ka and depending on how much power is flowing through that case, you could be seriously hurt or knock-on-mood maaring mamatay ka talaga. Yung function ng grounding-prong is to prevent that happening. Yung excess current magfuflo through the grounding-prong and then to your breaker, mag-detrip yung breaker, wala ng koreante at all, hindi ka masasaktan. So, to-to-o, mahalaga talaga yung grounding-prong for your safety. If something's loose inside your case becomes electrified because of it, the grounding-prong will send that current to the breaker, tripping the breaker and everything in your place will lose power. Safety ka. Pero paminsan tinatang gal yung grounding-prong kasi maraming residential and office places dito sa atin, two-slot lang talagay yung wall outlet. Wala ng butas para sa grounding-prong. Paan naman naman gagamitin yun? Either kumuha ka nung adapter para yung three-prong device mo, magiging two-slot na lang or, tanggalin malang yung grounding-prong from the electrical plug. And to be honest, kahit may butas para sa grounding-prong, kung hindi tama yung electrical wiring mo sa bahay, baka butas lang yun. Wala palang grounding-root all the way to your breaker and actually that should go all the way into the ground. Literarily nakabao yung sa lupa. Yun yun ang kaklose ng circuit. From your device to the grounding-prong all the way down, as it passes to the ground, magditrip dapat yung breaker. That is kung tama yung paka-wire sa bahay or sa office mo. So maraming question marks dito sa atin, kahit nakat-three-prong wall outlet ka, kung gagana ba talaga yung grounding-prong? But among all of the good advice that I don't follow, ito talaga dapat sundan ko. It's really for your safety and for your health, so I really don't advise skipping or removing the grounding-prong. As much as possible, guys, gamitin natin yung grounding-prong. Maganap tayo nung three-prong outlet na gumagana na talagang mag-ground. Isa pang good advice tungkol sa koreyente is don't overload your extensions. Mabilis mangyari ito sa computer kasi usually andami preferals ng computer na kailangan rin ng koreyente. Usually, may monitor, may speakers, may router, may printer. Yun palang andami ng nakasaksak, nakasabay dun sa computer mo. And in mo, set-ups, naka extension cord lang yun, lahat yun nakasaksak sa isang extension cord, tapos yung extension cord na yun, nakasaksak sa isang wall outlet lang. Ako nga, hindi ako gumagamit ng extension cord. May nahanap ako ang extension ball sa isang hardware store and these are quite common. Yun, your wall outlet becomes parang plus four or plus five depending on how many sides your extension ball has. And yun yung ginagamit ko, it's generally not advised because the more appliances, the more devices you have on one extension cord. The higher the risk of short circuits, the higher the risk na ma-overload yung isang extension cord na yun. But not gonna lie, yun nga ito yung set-up ko sa bahay, nak-extension ball, most of my primary things are just plugged into that one ball. Medyo na hinayang ako. I'm, I'm not entirely comfortable using it like that pero matagal ko na siyang gamit. Thankfully, wala pa naman nangyayarin na may sumabog, na ka-short circuit or anything. But this is really not an ideal set-up. If you do need to do something like this, at least try to get a heavy-duty extension cord, extension strip like from Panther or an AVR. Although yung mahirap sa AVR, paminsan, konti lang na yun talaga yung mga sockets niya. And you have so many devices to plug in na uirin sa extension strip kahit may AVR ka. So di ako magsisinungaling, this is again good advice that I don't follow. Medyo alanganin, pero mas alanganin talaga yung not to use the grounding prong. Yung isa pang good advice is to regularly replace the thermal paste on your CPU. Overtime, tumitigas kasi yung thermal paste, hindi nagganod kaganda yung transfer of heat from the CPU to the CPU cooler. Here at hardware sugar, we usually recommend at least once a year pasok ka, may general cleaning service kami, cable management na rin. Iiripaste rin namin yung thermal paste at CPU. Yun yung advice namin. Pero ako personally, to be honest, ilang taon na na hindi ko pa na riripaste yung thermal paste at CPU cooler ko. And again, kasi nakakatama de. I mean, that's why people come to us na nagbabayat para mag-cleaning, para mag-re-paste because it is a big chore on its own. Siguro, isang hapon yan one to two hours, especially kung mabusisika, na tatagalin mo talaga lahat. Lilinisin mo na rin yung interior ng case, tapos repasting. It does take a bunch of time. Kaya yun nga, yung personal rig ko sa bahay na ginagamit ko for all of my personal needs from gaming to editing to work. Ilang taon na yan na hindi pa na riripaste. Works fine, no problem. Although, yung CPU cooler ko kasi noctua, so yung thermal paste din noctua. Ibang klasi din talaga yung quality yun noctua, kaya hindi ako nang tataka na kahit ilang taon na okay pa rin yung performance. For less quality thermal paste, siguro makikita mo talaga yung degradation in performance at kailangan talaga riripaste. So bottom line, pwede katama rin sa advice na to kung medyo maganda na yung quality yung CPU cooler and thermal paste na ginamit. Pero kung medyo alanganin ka dun sa cooler mo at thermal paste mo, makakatulong talaga yung regular repasting. Finally, last advice I don't follow is to update regularly. Karaniwan mo yun na reining sa maraming tech enthusiasts, maraming technicians, update windows, update your graphics drivers regularly. Date magandang advice yan, pero medyo borderline na siya ngayon. Yung windows kasi pang minsan maga update, tapos hindi good yung update, may masisira sa computer mo. Andami na namin nabalitaan sa shop na the computer was fine before the update. Pagkatapos ng update, yun na wala ng wifi, na wala ng LAN connection. Biglang unstable na si windows, biglang kung anong weird errors yung lumalabas. Date hindi nagbibisod, pagkatapos ng automatic update, nagbibisod na siya, or nakacrash na siya. Windows updates are not what they used to be. So personally, I don't update unless security update talaga siya. Yung talagang medyo delicado, may vulnerability na nahanap at na-patch. Gunon din yung philosophico sa GPU drivers. Date, okay. Latest version, auto update. Yes, you're good to go. But there are so many games now, so many applications na hindi na talaga na susundan ni NVIDIA at AMD. Sometimes a new update will be good for certain games, but you might see decreased performance or even instability in other games. Kaya ako, di ko na siya na update unless cina-check ko talaga yung patch at nakikita ako na, ah, itong game, dinalaro ko to at kita talaga yung performance gain or yung stability gain if I move to the latest version of the drivers. Kung di ka naman dinalaro yung game, kung wala naman ako interest sa mga changes dun sa latest driver, di ko na pinapalitan. Swacto para sa akin, kasi yung at tamada ko and it takes some time to download drivers to update. Dini to para malinis yung pag-install ng bangong drivers yung ninto uninstall yung new ones. So, so this last advice is perfect for me. Tamad nga ako, ayaw ko masyadong i-update, pero okay lang yun because updates these days are kind of leafy. They might do more harm than good. So ayon, good tech advice that I really don't follow for myself, but I do really suggest that at least you try to follow yung sa grounding prong yun mahalagayon to save yourself injury. Andami daw yung pang tech advice out there and most of the time kung galing naman sa reputable source, it's good to follow. Pero either outdated na yung advice or kung tamad ka lang, sometimes pwede mo naman hindi sundan yung tech advice. Whatever works for you, whatever works for your system. Thanks for watching.
