 You ever get the feeling you've been asleep for such a long time, pag-i-sing mo ang dami ng bago. If you used to build computers before, pero mga limang taon na since your last build, hindi ka na rin sa musulon sa developments in the industry, a lot has changed. But you're awake now and you want to get back to building computers. Para sayo tong video na to. Here are the top three trends in modern PC building. Kung kakagisim mo lang from a very long sleep, you might want to go back to school to learn all of the new things that happened nung tulog ka. Tamang tama, yung sponsor natin may back-to-school promo. And yes, there are sponsor, pero we bought more than 100 keys from them. So talagang trusted namin sila. They're very reliable when it comes to their keys. So yung usual set up process lang, you just need to sign up and you put in your usual things like the address, password, et cetera. Although siyempre may account na kami, so ito na yung nakalagin ako. Yung links to the usual software like Windows 10 activation, Windows 11 activation, Microsoft Office na nandun sa video description. Pero yung Win10 Pro kailangan mo, you need to activate Windows. Everyone needs to activate Windows now. Yun, add to cart. So yung usual lang, go to the shopping cart, keep on shopping. Let's say okay na tayo dun, go to the shopping cart. Yung pinakamahalaga yung code natin may 25% discount code tayo and that's HS20, HS20. So pancinin mo, $22 yung initial price. Pag-apply mo nung discount code magiging $16 na lang siya. So nabawasan nung $5.55. And you submit order. Madami siyang payment options. Megalink, PayPal, PayPal, Alipay. Yung usual namin PayPal. And then yung click Pay now. And then tuloy-tuloy na siya. May legit working CD-key ka na sa software na pinilim mo. Copy the code, paste it into Windows Activator and you're good to go. Hindi lang software si CD-key, meron yung silang hardware products. Nag-team up sila with various brands for a back-to-school promo. Yung ibang brands aminin ko, di ganun ka si Cat. Deryu, Autoful, Mouse Speed, Motor Speed, Life Smart. Odo may isang brand dito na sikat sa atin yung Edifier. A lot of people have requested that over the years. So at least isa dito, medyo sikat na brand sa atin. Odo personally nagamit ko na rin tong Deryu Mouse and so far so good quality naman siya. And at least useful yung promo kasi yung mga items, yung mga pangkaraniwan, yung kailang mo talaga. You have mice, you have chairs, you have headsets, you have keyboards, may earphones. So parang yung software codes din nila, yung basic na kailangan mo to get started for work or for school, you'll need activated Windows and you'll need basic peripherals. And of course may discount code rin tayo para dito. Use discount code F-E-R for a 15% discount. R-G-B. So over the last five years or so, R-G-B has become super popular. Before, it was very difficult to get any kind of lighting inside your computer and it was static lighting at that. Puro red, puro green, puro blue. But now with R-G-B, you can have any color combination you want and they're on every component. Usually case fans, usually coolers, pero kahit mga GP yung ngayon, meron na yung mga PSU, meron na din. Motherboard meron na din. It's quite hard to think of any component na hindi pa na R-G-B-5. Kahit yung mismong cables connecting the different components, may R-G-B na rin yun. GPU support brackets may R-G-B, everything has R-G-B now. There are two kinds of R-G-B. That's the 12V 4 pin na R-G-B and the 5V 3 pin na A-R-G-B. Mas luma yung R-G-B, mas maganda yung control ng A-R-G-B. You're able to control each individual LED at the same time dun sa A-R-G-B or D-R-G-B, digital R-G-B pareho lang yun. So R-G-B, you can change the lights, but you can only change the lights all together in one go. So kung lahat red, lahat blue, or any combination, but sa A-R-G-B, you get finer color control because each individual LED in the component can be controlled at the same time. Yes, R-G-B is for aesthetics but it can also be functional. Pag uminit yung computer mo, magabago yung ilaw ng R-G-B, at least most R-G-B. So you can program your CPU cooler to display blue with temperatures below 60 degrees and then different shades of red, different shades of whatever color you want. So hindi lang aesthetic yung R-G-B. Functional din siya. It can display information. You even have some setups na nakatayin in-game. So let's say na sa Counter Strike ka, biglang na bomb has been planted, kung flash yung red yung R-G-B ng system mo. It's possible to do things like that depending on the software that you use and kung may software integration with that particular game. But the question is, should you R-G-B? Especially kung old school builder ka and you're not used to all of these colors, all of these lights, all of these different things. Admittedly, as an old school builder, parang medyo suspicious tingnan yung R-G-B. It can add a lot of cost to your build, the added benefit, functional benefit is marginal. Although a lot of people really do like the aesthetic and you can have tasteful R-G-B. Hindi naman ibig sabi na R-G-B, kailangan talaga bling-bling lahat. You can have tasteful R-G-B just on the RAM, just on certain case fans. You can also set it back to the traditional static color. Kung gusto mo white and blue lang or kung gusto mo all red lang, you can do that easily as well since fully customizable naman yung R-G-B. So if you haven't built in a while and you're coming back to the PC building hobby, it is a little tempting to try out R-G-B and why not? Wag kamatakot nung sa mga detractors na, oh R-G-B ano lang yan, pang dagdag lang yan ng gastos and things like that kasi medyo nakakabak-clash na sa R-G-B since so many people have it, since so many components integrate it, siyempre yung mga PC snobs ngayon, mga baliktad na gusto nila na stealth build or walang R-G-B na build. In position namin sa hardware sugar, do what you want, do what you think looks good for your computer kasi personal computer mayon, it's personal to you and your taste. If you want a stealth build, go old school, you can do stealth build. Personally for me, old school builder, but I did put in a mix of R-G-B in my latest build. Kasi to be fair, magkantari naman tingnan if you do it right and if you do it to your tastes. And once you do go down that rabbit hole, there are so many options available. Nagdagdag dagdag rin siya ng complexity to the build kasi to be honest, it's a real pain in the ass trying to determine what brand of components should you get, what software supports that brand and things like that. So if you do decide to put R-G-B in your build, you will need to plan a bit more in advance para hindi mahasil yung user experience mo later on. A. I. O. Sa old school building, when you say water cooling, automatically custom liquid water cooling yun. And that means having to measure all of the pipes yourself, having to make sure your fittings and your joints do not leak. Talagang custom siya. Whatever your case is, you need to come up with the sizes and the specs needed for that particular case. So yung CPU block, yung fittings, yung radiator tank, lahat yun custom specs and size. Kaya nakakatakot mag water cooling datik kasi kung di ka marunong or kung nagsisimula ka palang, tubig yun inside your case with your expensive computer stuff. Kung magkamali ka, yari computer mo. And to be honest, I've never custom water cooled my own computer. It always looks cool, pero it's a lot of time and effort. Plus takot nga ako nga masira yung computer ko. One leak is all it takes. So the risks for doing custom liquid water cooling are quite high. Pero ngayon, naga innovation na. It's very easy to do water cooling with AIOs or all-in-one water coolers. Yung AIO is basically a prepackaged radiator and CPU block. Para na siyang air cooler na sinasalpak mo lang yung block onto the CPU. You install the radiator in predetermined portions of the case. Slap on the fans onto the radiator and you're good to go. Di na siya custom. Kung baga da, AIO that you select is very compatible with a wide range of cases and CPUs. So wala na yung mga custom lengths, wala na yung custom reservoir. Lahat yun, naka-integrate na into this AIO. Talagang swak yung pangalan all-in-one. Yung advantages ng AIO over traditional air cooling is that mas maganda talagang aesthetic niya. Mas leak yung design, kasi yung CPU block niya is a lot shorter compared to the large towers na karaniwan sa mga air cooling. So you do get a very nice aesthetic with an AIO and naging uson na rin ngayon na may LCD display yung CPU block. So that's added aesthetics and added functionality. You can also have the LCD display show temperatures, graphics. Basically, very clear na yung LCD displays na yun. So they're both functional and fun. Plus reliable yung mga AIOs, we've sold a lot of them in the shop. Very few actually really come back with any problems. Yung takot ko sa traditional water cooling at may leak and yun din yung takot ko initially sa mga AIO. But we've actually never had any AIO leak on us from any brand. Yes, we've had problems with a few AIOs in the past, but the problems are never about leaks. So again, kung nag-PC build ka datit, nakalipas na ng ilang taon and you're just coming back to the hobby, ibang-iban na yung water cooling. You can still do the traditional custom liquid water cooling but a lot of people these days prefer the all-in-one water cooling of an AIO. Very clear yung advantages niya. The price is good, depending on which AIO you get. So there's really no compromise anymore. If you want to go water cooling, an AIO is a very good option. I-T-X I-T-X Yung usodate, very large cases. This is a modern large case and mga ganito yung size nung mga over-the-top large cases para nag-overcompensate yung mga taon na gusto nila large is better. Pero ngayon, baliktad naman yung trend. Yung uso ngayon, small is better. And you can't get any smaller for mainstream builds than I-T-X cases. An I-T-X case is the smallest mainstream case that you can get. You also need to get specialized parts for I-T-X cases. Sa sobrang lit niya, hindi naka siya yung mga traditional I-T-X size motherboards, I-T-X size power supplies, when you go I-T-X, magbabayad ka talaga for the added cost of having these smaller components. Usually sa mga I-T-X cases, minimum, kailang mo ng I-T-X motherboard and I-T-X power supply which is termed SFF, Small Form Factor, or SFX. Pareho lang yun. It just depends on which manufacturer you get it from. Kailang mo rin tingnan yung ganokahaba yung GPU mo since maliit ngayong I-T-X case, depending on which GPU you get, baka hindi siya ka siya physically hindi mo mga pasok yung GPU sa case mo. So you need to check the sizes of everything, including the CPU cooler, the GPU, and you need to worry about cooling. Yung maganda sa large cases, there's a lot of air or there's a lot of volume inside the case for heat to dissipate in. Obviously, in a much smaller case, there's a much smaller volume. So heat will tend to build up a lot faster. You need to find cases that allow you to dissipate or expel that heat quickly. So yun yung dalawang lookouts mo sa I-T-X builds. Heat and size of the components. But what do you get in return? Sombra ganda ting na nung I-T-X. Small is beautiful right now. And yung nga, parang naging reaction siya to the very large builds of before. Yung mga I-T-X builds pwede mo lagay mismo on your desktop. 2.9 na siya na desktop computer. Kasi mo desktop natin on, na lala mo, palagay mo sinisipas. Palagay mo sinisipas. Palagay mo sinisipa on the ground kasi ang lakiin, di mo malagay sa desktop mo. But now with an I-T-X build, you can put it on your desktop. You can put it in a far off corner somewhere and it just blends into the furniture. Maraming benefits yung I-T-X build for aesthetics and portability. We've had some customers na they are based in Manila, pero marami silang business sa province, dinadalalang nila yung I-T-X build nila from their place here sa Manila dun sa coche and then yun. Dalalala nila to wherever they need to go. Yung ibang I-T-X cases may built-in handle na because case manufacturers know na yun nga yung hubble nung mga tao it's small and portable. It does add to the cost though. Generally if you compare specs wise yung I-T-X build versus a traditional I-T-X size build, mas mahal talaga yung I-T-X because the smaller components do cost a bit more. Yung mga maliliit na bagay na you take for granted sa I-T-X na yung big deal na sa I-T-X. For example, usually yung I-T-X motherboards dalawa lang yung dim slots. So if you want 64GB of RAM, kailangan yung 2X32 which is a bit hard to find dito sa atin. Walang problema yun sa I-T-X size builds kasi usually magpap 4X16 ka apat naman na dim slots sa motherboard. So there are a lot of things that you need to check kung mag I-T-X build ka. But again, if you're coming from an old school build, kakabalik mo lang sa copy. An I-T-X build is a very exciting development mainstream na siya and yun yung trend ngayon a lot of people na nagtraditional build datin ngayon nag I-T-X build na. So quite interesting, something you might want to experiment with especially kung nagbabalaka magbago yung build ngayon.
