 In fact, I can't see it so far, we're only connected to Facebook, okay now YouTube, so I have no idea how we're gonna do this, wala kasing yun nga yung chat and I guess, like I can't, if somebody messages the chat, I'm hoping it'll come out here, but like yung sa interface ko, I can't access the chat so I'm hoping it'll come out here. Um, let's play the ad first and let's see what's good, because I mean this is, pwede magtanong, this is our live advice tech show, but we can't answer any questions or give any advice if I can't see any chat, so let's hope the internet can't resolve itself and I guess I should check, okay, may more viewers naman so it's going out well, it's just I can't see chat, but let's play the ad and hope for the best. Because it would not be pwede magtanong if there wasn't something that went wrong. Maraming na kaming na tulungan. Dati, said I'm depressed ako, but now, I'm found a love of my life. Dati, ing-resin ko lang purto 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 ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko. Kaya ako nag-ahanap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkoffer.com Alright, good evening guys. I still do not have chat in my, it's ridiculous. I don't have chat in the primary display, but I can see the chat through the livestream. So, sub moniker, sub Kyle, sub Paul, sub lazy cable manager, Ayon, okay. I can see you guys can see it, but I can't see it. Technology, why? Hackintosh guide? I don't know, I guess we can. We'd have to find the proper hardware for that. You just can't try to emulate Apple na basta-basta lang. See, I have no access to the, so anyway, sorry. For those just tuning in, welcome to Pwede Magtanong. This is our live tech show. Sub Kaiser, sub Iverson. Yeah, so I'm, so you, so I can see the chat. I'm watching the live stream also, but yung-ya, there is a little bit of a delay. And I can't highlight chat, which is one of the main advantages of using re-stream. Well, there are like two advantages. One, you can stream to a lot of places easily. I know you can do that through OBS, but re-stream supposedly makes it a lot easier. To be fair, it is true. The one, I tried to plug in before sa OBS to stream to multiple locations at the same time, but it was, you know, kind of difficult. And two is that, you know, you can get chat from both places on your screen. And that's happening in the stream, but it's not happening in the UI I have now. So the only way I can see the chat is through the live stream itself. To answer Monika's question, I don't know. I actually never know who's going to join me on Pwede Magtanong. It's just, I invite everybody who wants to join that they can. Muren mentioned she would be late and nobody else replied. So I could be solo flight for tonight, which I haven't done in a long time actually for Pwede Magtanong. We really set up the show, this particular show na may parang panel. And, you know, our panelists have changed over the years. But it is weird for me to say na plural na na years. We started this during the pandemic. We're pretty much out of the pandemic already. But yeah, we started it with a panel. But I think I may be done it once or twice na solo flight. Although it is more interesting to be honest with the panel because you got a wide range of views. Ano ba yung, ano ba yung, like, you know, I'm kind of in favor. For CPUs, I'm kind of more in favor of AMD. Although the AM5 is a hard sell compared to some of the other Intel products out there na. But, you know, at least in the panel, you got an interesting range of perspectives. Even with SAP Kail and Kiel. Ah, you know, Kail and Kiel. Finarward ko na sa, ah, di pa lang nag-reply kontak ko. Pero if you narward ko na yung request mo dun sa distributor. SAP Rafael James, no, okay. I post the stream accidentally. But yes, so I can't see the questions. Actually, that's the thing about to jump off from this disconcerting experience. I don't have chat dito sa live chat ko. I have to actually go into the live stream to see the chat. That's really how we can approach PC diagnostics. Like, one thing is not working, but can we do a workaround? Is there another way to do the thing that you want to do? Any fairness to Windows or usually in any modern type of software environment, there are workarounds. You know, is there a shortcut? I can't see the window that I need to close, but I can press control-alt-delete or alt-tab or something like that. Usually, there are software workarounds. There are also hardware workarounds. For instance, you need an internal USB port on your motherboard. Your motherboard didn't come with that. Let's say you sort of went with the more budget option motherboards. It's actually the older ones. Cool lang sila ng internal USB. But you can buy an add-on that will do that. So there are always workarounds. What we encourage a lot of in the shop. Not like janky workarounds, but just being aware that instead of knocking your head against the wall, try to come up with another way of solving the problem or at least initially solving the problem. Basta you can identify na may workaround. Then you can try to identify why the main solution is not working. So just adjusting my mic a little bit to change angle. And I mentioned my camera because you'll notice na, wow, this is a really bad, like my elbow. It doesn't look this bad in real life. It looks bad on this camera. If you've been watching my live streams, you know that I've been using this kind of angle perspective. So it's on the corner kind of looking down a little bit. But you notice the focus has changed a little. It's not as in focus and the bokeh is not as good. Because the lens that I was initially using, I think this is the Sony E35mm 1.8. It broke. I was just using it one day and then I turned on my camera and then suddenly, yun sira na siya. That's just like a worrying sound, pero hindi na siya nagpafocus nung maayos. So actually I was really planning to try a new lens. So this is the Sigma 1.4 35mm also. Pero ibas siya eh. Parang mas gusto ko to. So I... Yeah, a little annoyed now na I don't have... I mean I was already getting used to this particular lens and then yun nga parang it's not working. It's just a worrying sound and it doesn't focus properly anymore. It doesn't let light in properly anymore. And so I'm not a camera guy. So I don't know the workarounds for the camera guy. I mean I don't know the usual workarounds that camera geeks use unlike in computers. So workarounds are important and I am kind of miss yun nga. Actually I'll make a short out of this lens and then as the internet I need your help internet and we need to... I'd really like to... Is there a way to repair this lens? Am I just not using a setting properly or things like that? Because the Sigma one is okay but it's not as great as that. Yes Kaiser that's the lens. This is the Sony lens I bought from Lazada or off Lazada. I mean it's a legit Sony product naman. Like about a year ago. So medyo matagal na. But I won't be able to use the warranty here. Which is a good time to bring out like why you would want to buy from Hardware Sugar. There are cheaper places out there. We even made a video na mas mura sa Amazon and the free shipping is great. But when it comes to warranty iba talaga kung local shop and iba talaga kung Hardware Sugar for our nobias warranty a lot of the long time viewers and I know a lot of guys watching our long time viewers. They already know that so I won't bore you with the spiel. Saap Oseer from Facebook. Alright lemme try to get through the chat. This is ridiculous. Like I have to go through the chat. Although I just want to acknowledge Keiser's comment na Russell would disagree about the nonexistence of janky workarounds. Well we tried to not make it too obvious to the customer but to be fair our workarounds are just temporary for the most part. Just trying to see if it works and it will come up with a better solution later on. I have to go back in time to the chat Iverson from Facebook may possibility ba i-release by 2025 yung PCIE5 GPU? I don't know to be honest I don't know the roadmaps or hindi ko na memorize yung roadmaps ni NVIDIA chakon at AMD I do know that the 4090Ti has been cancelled which wouldn't have been PCIE5 anyway not that I'm familiar with but I'm not sure if the 50 series of AMD is slated to be PCIE5 to be honest I can't remember although you know it's the jump you know you have a PCIE4 card but you only have a PCIE3 lane that's still possible pero you'll get slower speed but the overall real world performance loss is not that big of course we haven't seen yet the jump from PCIE4 to PCIE5 so we'd have to see that Robert from Facebook thank you for being very patient sakin kanina those were the shop guys but yes our shop guys are super super patient I'm not sure if you bought a rig from us I might have seen it in our sheet we have an internal google sheet where we put all of the builds um it's easy to call up the builds later on for record purposes or we need to check what components went into that build I was on from Facebook any AM5 mobile recommendation for ROG Hyperion is the Hyperion ATX I think it is let me check ROG yes it is an EATX case it's kind of bonkers if you go for an EATX mobile we've done some extreme builds but we've actually never done an EATX build so you'd be fine with an ATX motherboard if you're going AM5 then the latest out of the line is the EX sorry the x670e-e so there's a the x670e there's a difference the e is like the enhanced version we did a video on this I just can't quite remember what sets it apart from the usual AM5 mobos I think there are more PCIe 5 lanes lots this is also why I like having the panel because they can backstop me yes the x670e-e sorry well the x670e is the enhanced one saying more VMR faces but if I remember correctly I think there are more PCIe lanes also let me check we did do a video about this when it came out but I was a while back and all of these specs really blend together over time for me to be honest yes the x670e has the most PCIe 5 designated lanes out of all of the options so I mean if you're getting a hyperion I imagine you want a you want a full build I mean like a full bonkers build then we did a build with the x670e hero I think tamaba let me check our facebook the one that was exploding we did a build with the ROG crosshair x670e so I mean I mentioned the exploding bit basically the motherboard onboard software the bios was telling the cpu to go faster and faster and pumping a lot more energy into the cpu than was prudent and so that literally cost some cpu's to self combust basically to burn up just too much power man, too much power if you're a Star Trek fan you can imagine Scotty going the engines can't take it anymore basically there's just pumping too much power in so there was a lot of debate online about the AM5 ecosystem in general and ASUS in particular for having shoddy bios and you know when you plop down a kind of money on a 5950x3d or even a 5859 sorry is it a 5950x3d 5950x or a 5950x3d is the 5950x3d the top of the line na I mean these are really expensive cpu's and you plop down your money and the motherboard basically fries it and your motherboard is also premium that's not really a great look right so there was a lot of chatter online about it we did sorry not the 5950 the 5950x3d AM5 platform my apologies so you get the latest and greatest from AMD you get the best motherboard and it just fries your cpu so that was not a great look for ASUS but we did do a bonkers build like that 79050x3d ROG crosshair x670e we did update the bios and so far there haven't there haven't been any problems so despite what you might hear about on the internet I would say that it's that's still a viable build especially if it's that kind of price range alright now time to go through the youtube chat Sean Flores mentioning some of the alluding to some of the issues that ASUS has had like to be fair we haven't had a lot of trouble with ASUS motherboards we recently had a bulk order for office computers we used an ASUS board these were a lot right so this was a bulk order for office computers only one of the boards but the board was DOA out of the box the x670e the crosshair we've had no problems we're very happy so there was a lot of internet chatter but in our personal experience our perspective is a bit different because we do we get a larger sample than most tech youtubers just because we are a shop and we do sell in volume and imagine our volume is even small in the shops in the Philippines or out there but we do get some volume on our orders and we can say that ASUS hasn't been bad and we have skin in the game kami mapiperwiso if we sell components that break down regularly because the customer will come back to us and complain and we'll have to complain to the supplier and it's a whole thing so it is in our best interest to make sure that the items that we sell are are legit or are not prone to breaking down kasi kami rin yung madadamay later on so I can honestly say with a straight face that ASUS hasn't given us a lot of problems with their motherboards their GPUs I can't even think of anyone that came back for a replacement so we do have a lot of videos or we do regular videos where we talk about the warranty that have come our way alright so let us look through the chat moniker misko na si kade jaynalin dumis I dumis jay but it's tempered by the fact that he still messages me on Slack so may contact pa naman kami and I think the team is also in contact with him on a regular basis sorry I cannot highlight your quotes this time actually I was worried about our internet connection but so far okay naman Rafael James kami nilang mag-jojoin like should I just post the invite link in chat and then the first three people to get in will form the panel that would be kind of trippy actually who wants to be on pwede magtanong let's see a show of hands let's make it interactive John do you have RTX 4070 parang non in stock but we can easily get custom orders yung mga ganyan na easy to get items not in stock technically but it's very easy for us just message us and then let us know what brand you're looking for any particular model and then we can try okay guys get your webcams ready I'll give you like two minutes to get your webcams and your mics ready then I'm gonna post the link on YouTube and then yeah let's do it the first three people so will be four in the panel I would have some accelerated questions you can do that one balosan from facebook again about the ASOS thing that is true the response was not great and they uncovered the warranty so yes I do agree that's not a good look for the brand especially if you paid premium for your items they did backtrack on that thanks to customer outrage and also the tech youtubers so I mean I'm kind of worry about the influence of people on YouTube sometimes I think it's they have no incentive to look at it from other people's perspectives it's just super easy to jump on the bandwagon and crucify a brand or crucify a product because we are a shop we do have a different perspective that's why I'm less itchy on the trigger finger to jump on a lot of the bashings going on online especially about tech products but one positive thing guys when it is it is good to highlight that brand has failures like that and I do agree that it was useful to have the influencers there to highlight that kind of slow response of ASOS Princess Dayan bat karamihan ng GPU na AMD may issue sa drivers I'm afraid Sana Rocky the programmer would be here he had had his own experience with the 5000 series AMD AMD drivers in general I just I point to the fact that well, NVIDIA is really top dog in GPUs I mean in performance and in drivers they just have more experience their tech team seems to be better but that being said the 6000 and 7000 series have been okay naman in terms of drivers and again we go back to the shop experience I was super I was super traumatized by the 5000 series it's hard to explain to a customer they'll come back and the GPU I bought from you is defective because I bought it but now I'm trying to play game X and it won't work it keeps crashing and then we have to explain but there's not a problem with the hardware our warranty only extends to hardware kasi wala na kami magawa kung software related we can't write our own driver so we'll have to it falls to the shop ang hirap sa shop where the front line of contact for the customer so we'd go through cycle through different drivers just to get this particular game running so we were traumatized by the 5000 series GPUs their drivers being so lackluster and so choppy so buggy na that kind of bled into the future now into the present where I'm still a little hesitant to stock but we can also get them we can also get them on a custom order basis so yeah first three guys here is the link first time I think we're doing this na open invite to the public first three guys to pop up on here I should see it on my restream interface even though restream is not that great I mean basically failed me so far for chat with our normal normal ang po ba mag spark na monitor pag sinaksak yes actually most we've done a video on this too most hardware sorry not most but some hardware really spark that's really part it's completing the circuit it's making a connection so when you plug it in alright here we have our first taker of the night but rafael james you don't have we need webcam can you hear me in chat? stop moniker sige nga i'll just yon but we need webcam guys and we need audio stop lemme do lemme do no no yon alright video there there wait trying to do it na yon yon all together so moniker and rafael james are both youtube members and yon and long time followers of the shop they are also pretty tech savvy actually so we can all go through the questions but why don't you guys say hello and introduce yourselves rafael james want me to go first i'm boosting the gain on your mics guys alright i'll let you take control of that but hi everyone welcome to pwede magtanong feel na feel yung pagiging ano very professional very smooth segue yes yes and make sure you check out the sponsor dkoffers.com kung ganyan baka baka we'll put you in the next ad you can take over the spot vacated by jay sure sure no problem kawawa yung to take over from jay because we gave him all of the skit role so i mean like he's the girl and then ano and he's also the one yung kung nagahanap ka then they hand him a gpu and then we had somebody in comment in youtube comments ask na labo naman pinagusapan windows yung bigay sa kanya gpu and that's the only time i thought oh nga eh, medyo malabu ngayon but anyway and moniker i'm dedividing to everybody chat i'm moniker for a long time we work and we also did the hardware so kaya obrating presence sa mga live scenes para makatulogin sa mga tech questions sorry, medyo may na yung ano obraki na balong may may setting ba dito sa iopt your gains na dito sa re-streaming sa tech one cave is this better that sounds good, yeah so you have your first question from kaiser question kai moniker, ilang besins ka na nilason nila rocky oh niger? ah di, malong din yung hardware sure kailangan ka titig na kagawa ang lamban ng mga wadit kagigit ayin same for me like the guys in the shop have been trying to get me to join the custom keyboards but i'm just not i have resisted so far mahirap to go down that rabbit hole ikaw ba rafael james naka custom kibigay ka ba yes actually i've built a couple of keyboards pero in keyboard ko ngayon, isa lang naman kasi ang excuse ko dyan pag pag-build ko ng isang keyboard let a different family member or a friend use it so i have i have an incentive to build more kasi maraming mga kagamit so benefits not just me maganda yung re-streaming, ay hindi naman para sa i can share it with friends to be fair, i did have a friend to lend me a custom keyboard same-same, parang na entay sa ko it was really quite nice i think from Canon or parang Canon at tayong brand but medyo barbarian ako, hindi ko ma-appreciate yung mga custom-custom i keep telling Rocky the programmer gusong yung sobrang ingay na keys yung tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak-tak na yung parang old school mechanical gusong ngayon yung very soft parang linear na ba or tactile or something they've been trying they've been trying but i have resisted from Ace, from YouTube with the 20 terabyte Seagate Exos Enterprise HDDs work on a regular desktop computer this is nice again to have a panel let me throw it to the panel never pa akong nakita in person pero i always see that from tech tubers like dynastic tapes i think kano parin naman yung kung sata parin naman yung connectors niya for particularly sa data it should still work sa regular consumer level desktop pc hindi lang ako 100% sure kung may particular software na i install to be able to manage it baka differently than your run of the mill first on digital lose or black or greens or Seagate Barahudas but i think it should work like a regular hardest drive ay conquer and we also have not done any have used any exos hard drives in the shop but i have not heard that they are substantially different in terms of how you connect them up sa data and even like server level enterprise level, server level, hardware sata parin naman yung pagkakoneks sa kanila sa mobile so i would assume that they would that would work just going through the old questions from gelbin youtube have we ever done any a4h20 so that's lian li the dan the case they did in collaboration with dan or itx builds in general with 40 series cards um we have done and i think they were 40 series but i can't quite remember if you PM us we can look up our records and then we can let you know but i do think we've done we've done a lot of the a4h20 is a popular itx case so we've done couple of builds on them stretching back the previous gpu generations so i think we've done na rin so kain kaya naman ata i mean the 4090, 4080s sa kanalong but like the 4060s now the 4070s, may mga cards naman na di na sila ganun ka haba like you did probably fit na rossel asks mahal ko yung pwede magtanong no hardware sugar pero mas mahal ko yung it's not a question para balder's gate 3 masy ako na nakawin na si rossel kasi last time ako na extreme tapos sumali siya sa chat na stuck siya sa shop kasi malakas yung ulan na wasap Anton from youtube alright next question from kyle, sorry one of the older questions do you plan on publishing preassembled PCs similar to featured builds that's always been like a plan but we just stuck to custom builds because i don't know we kind of added corny kumay i mean you have a name for it actually we did have a name for we called our entry level pc budget meal alpha so those were the same specs parang ganun we carried that for a while maybe for the first two years in the shop but we delved into that space too much kasi parang we find it a little corny but to address your point kyle we are trying to think of a way to showcase our builds so madali na lang like oh this is an 80k build and this is mostly for editing parang ganun then you can see the specs and that's why we do update our pc part picker which i think is in our youtube description but if not we can post the link here there has been a push internally to post our builds like the list of parts and pictures on our own site like on hwsugar.ph that's something that we're considering also from a store standpoint or from a business point of view is there a disadvantage to selling like pre-assembled or pre-built we would have to stock them but we would have to make sure na sakto yung parts that we chose for that build so let's say it's a 50k build and then we'd have to make sure na mainstream wise na bebenta yung ano na yun so we would have to make sure it would be on hand so that's one downside compared to like the more flexibility you have with well this is what we have but we can custom order ganito gan yan but there is also upside that are you know not quite sure what they're looking for and so they just want to settle on this one I don't have to think too much anymore basically there's less friction on the part of the customer so parang it's like it's really a balancing act for me actually I think hardware sugar medyo, guilty na tayo na it's still not super easy for the customer there's still a lot of like oh you need to ask us ganito gan yan we lean towards more the enthusiast level so we don't assume that you know and we're super happy to explain things to you but just kind of like getting to that entry level na baka na intimidate na sila kasi our website is sort of specs heavy rather than more like oh may parang image lang of a build tapos may mga sure you've seen them from the other shops how they market their builds parang the executioner or may parang name pa sila na medyocachy and then 20k build gaming ready tapos pala it's like 7th gen intel so tayo naman it's more like no we'll give you good parts we'll give you a good price but there's a little friction getting to that point na you communicate with us and things like that so definitely things also for us to improve on as a shop jumping to a live question or a recent question from jazz any tips for upgrade path for my build hoping for mid range pc build well for upgrade i mean you'll buy a new pc now and then have a decent upgrade path assuming that's the question i'll toss it to the panel rafael james or moniker it would be helpful if you have an existing pc any specs na if it's an existing and what are you hoping to use it for kasi kung if there's a specific game that you want to play then sometimes the game especially on steam would come with a minimum or even recommended specs so we could start with that moniker default answer ko yan hindi mag-work kasi am4 is since end of the line na am4 so hindi na siya gradeable in the future so hindi na siya future-proof yatama din siya sabi ni rafael james na it would help us kung merokang baseline na ipapprovide yung current specs mo if merokang current na rig but yan so with am4 out of the question so it's either am5 for in for amd sorry or intel palo ba kasi yun may hindi may pag amd shell ako so i would between the two so i would go for am5 kung which particular processor i would say anonag you should go for kung nginisid mo yung future-proofing go for an 8-core 16 thread CPU na instead of kasi ay nung na may ramparin amang 6-core 12 thread option but i don't i'm not really sure kung at what point in the future magiging let's say locking yung damil ayon pala hote ba kayo di ko hamakitay takap takap pala so actually yung context he's just buying palang he's not thinking about his current build so he wants to buy a build with upgrade past na in the future with a discernible upgrade past sorry i'm just gonna hi pesto from youtube and then to address anton anton mention na i had a friend who i recommended to the shop but he went over to the shop this is actually not a comment we get regularly but i would bring it up with the staff i know sometimes at weekends are a little harassed but usually they're very cheerful guys so i do miss j j was very good with customers also very knowledgeable about tech because with our techs, they have to be both we don't have sales staff vs tech staff our tech staff are our sales staff so what's great about that is there's no bs, they know their tech the guide who's selling you to the computer is also the one who'll assemble your computer so walang disconnect between ah pero re-necomento ng sales staff and then the tech staff will go but it's actually not compatible so there's no disconnect like that with us but it is a challenge finding people who have those two skills in one person but generally our staff are pretty friendly but i'll bring it up with them on our all hands i'm trying to have a regular all hands at least once a week i'll bring it up anton with them generally our staff is quite friendly i don't know if it was just a bad day but that's also no excuse i mean it's also the challenge of maintaining the quality i don't know lang kung haras sila nun but i'll take it up with them and if your friend wants to give us another chance please come on by or message us i say message because i also do a lot of the messages but i mean not not a hard sell i understand if he got put off already by the initial contact and went somewhere else but if he wants to give us a second chance our staff are usually quite friendly in fact i tell them not to be super super deferential to a customer more like treat them like your friend and things like that but going back to jazz sorry i misinterpreted he already does have the computer then am put that currently so for that kung galing susana 5600g and computer for gaming yung rig na so i think there's no other option other than yung 5800x3d pero kung if it's being used for other purposes other workflow other tasks pero sticking to the same platform um di ko abisade yung defenses in yung other workflow other tasks kung kung compares at least 5700x or 5800x again na joming na mag-stick to the same platform but di ko also of course move up to aim 550 prefers that actually this is sorry this is pretty good for a base model so you have a very decent apu in the 5600g the b550 will serve you well so malaka na yung PSU mo ram is okay so i think you do have a clear upgrade path i mean you have a better upgrade path than mine ako na nga na ka aim for platform then 3700x so as mentioned by moniker the best CPU you can probably upgrade to is the 5800x3d both for gaming and for single core heavy applications and but i don't say that like na parang hanggang dun ka na lang once will last you years like you slap a 5800x3d now or next year that will last you like 2 years down the line or something for gaming yung yung you'll really get extend the lifespan of your computer by adding a dedicated GPU you mentioned you wanted 1080p max setting the 4060 gets a bad rap now but if you can find it cheaper than the 3060 kasi dapat cheaper siya based on the SRP 1080p very power efficient also although not really a consideration with your 750W but if you're looking just overall efficiency and things like that the 4060 is not a bad choice but if you can get a second hand 3060 12GB also pretty good so maramin ang options for that you have a good base platform and you can really upgrade that there are a lot of upgrade options available as mentioned by monika the AM4 platform ends with the 5000 series AMD CPU but you don't necessarily need to jump to AM5 DDR4 RAM will serve you well for a lot of things the GPU I have a 3080 on my AM4 platform so if you want to go 2K gaming and yung yung at the CPU the 5800x3d will serve you for a long time to come so you can stick with your CPU now throw in a GPU and then next year maybe upgrade to the 5800x3d malayo pa yan mahabutan mo yan still a very good platform yes although i know rafael james may high end yung rig mo i can't remember still an AM4 5800x and 3070 pero ano siya pandemic pricing of course aking dapat iarrimate sa nung syape pero wala na di na umabot sa supplier so it got the way laid on the way sorry if i don't know if you notice one of the video but i had to disconnect so this is the new series mouse that i'm using it's wireless but you'll notice it's wired now because it ran out of battery and that it's one thing i don't like so it is a custom battery you just can't open it and put in AA or something so mas magaan siya kasi custom battery pero yung downside mas maliit yung capacity niya and i'm really used to the G602 from Logitech 2 AA batteries and that will go on forever and ever until you need to until you need to recharge it i put rechargeable batteries in it itong Erox 5 ang bilis niya mabusa nung battery and yung i know it's a trade off it's unfair of me to criticize it because it's a feature not a bug but from someone coming from long battery life wireless mouse na medyo mabigat but i don't really mind the weight the Erox is a little lacking for me so as you can see me fiddling around i had to disconnect the wireless receiver and then the USB cable et cetera anyway just in case anybody is thinking of the Erox 5 as a wireless mouse to use Russell Russell mentioned madalas mas paganda pa rigs nung community members kasi sa hard the personal rigs of the hardware sugar guys i conquer i'm still rocking a 3700X although may 38 is still decent but i see a lot of customers buying bonkers hardware and there are a lot of people out there with nice hardware but i think that's part of the challenge it makes it easier to relate to a lot of people who are asking 50k build or what can we do to stretch the lifespan of this build kasi as ourselves we're not sobrang bonkers computer Sean Flores, i hope that LGA 1700 so Intel platform na man would have multiple generations i think they stretched to ready for 12 and 13 i think 14 will not be LGA 1700 anymore i remember correctly let me just double check that what socket is Intel 14th gen LGA 1851 so the 1700 will stop at the 12 and 13th gen and i do agree with the comment sayang na sayang i mean i love am4 because it stretched so long from rising 1000 all the way to rising 5000 Intel has not been that great pero yung 12 and 13th gen oh sorry moniker i think your mic cut out we can't hear you ah okay sorry a minut pa pala sorry sorry so Intel not that great at multi-generational support although they did a good job with 12 and 13th in fairness that one very popular with customers and if you it's 818 so our podcast just dropped on Spotify i'll post the link here but i talk about in the latest podcast on Spotify where Intel has returned to profitability after two quarters in the red they're back to profitability and it was on the back of their consumer division so our pc desktop so Intel 12 13th gen good performers at a good price and you're seeing that because a lot of people bought from them and they're back team blue is back in the green so the podcast is on Spotify texture but friendly and the one on youtube just dropped also but that is one week delayed that is the podcast from last week but that's also super interesting where i defend a little bit a local tech youtuber who was accused of plagiarism basically kung muha siya nun data sa malaysian tech channel then he used it in his own video without attribution so it became a whole thing and i do talk about but i defend him a little bit in that podcast so you can check that out on youtube or on spotify but the latest spotify episode is the usual tech news and i touch a little bit on how Intel has returned to profitability i believe Rafael James was it you who had a question about texture but friendly para nakita mo sa chat yes who's the next guest kasi napansin ko pagameroong guest mas mahaba yung episode jaka mas mayingay si Anto and analytics wise people watch longer and we do have more comments i do want to to answer the question i have no idea i do want to have a semi regular thing with katima gaming so our last one was pretty good but i don't know what to talk about should it be pc hardware i need a topic to discuss that i can do on a regular basis kasi nakakaya naman do a regular semi regular podcast with and then like we're just kind of staring at each other so ano bang bagusapan natin yun number of electric fans parang ano so i'm trying to figure that out but we are super open to having guests on the podcast if anybody in the audience has any ideas actually i like talking with strangers and that's why we had that live stream show also na in the industry the problem there was finding guests na on a regular basis na ano but i love talking with strangers just geeking out about hardware or actually i like being boyabunda na may damigong tinatanong ano ano naman kapsabababababuhay mo and then ano and kind of related to tech or other things or sometimes they're like pro gamers or things like that tiba so a different perspective that they can share about shout out to reese archives thanks for watching us on youtube saapren yes reeno request ng degay request pa shout out dao from rafael james and moniker shout out to number one editor ng hardware sugar youtube channel the hardware king nasa ka na ba? asan na kayo bakat kaminan dito? asan na kayo? wala na confirm wala na confirm eh but since you guys are the guests do you want to segue to our sponsor because i told them this is the one streamer i have to play them play it twice surely ay sinay akong naman so how about from next pat na roce rafael james to the chat to the audience don't forget to activate your windows installation whether windows 10.10 or 11 kundin you ang cdk from cdk ah sorry sorry my bad so waka na ba sa unactivated windows mo? well lucky you pinakamago mula sa cdkoffers.com windows 10 and windows 11 activation pose legit safe at

ko but now i'm from the love of my life date i'm less and wala ang purchase ang life ko but now i'm a world class zumba 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 naghanap ka ng legit mura at original software check out cdkoffers.com check out cdkoffers.com check out cdkoffers.com ay shoot naman ako tuloy yung chat na alright from norman pasagest sir 5k or below na wireless white headset and 3k below or wireless white mouse actually i'm terrible at peripherals i don't follow too much the peripherals space and things like that so i'm gonna toss this one also to our panel no, ako din di ako masyado na sa peripherals tapos talo na white so specific white color to white team that headset and mouse alam ka lang yan but in terms of brand ang trusted brand kasi siyempre aside from the aesthetics because important na siyempre quality and durability so hanggang ngayon ng goto ko pa rin for my cistogetic alam ko mayro naman sila mga white models pero hirigan karami yung gamit ko yung g3.04 mayroong white version to pero i'm not sure so vice for your needs tapos sa headset magamit ko ngayon is cyperex i don't think may white version nito pero ang gamit ko before this if i upgrade it to this was actually yung budget brand red dragon is use h510 yung gamit ko is black and red then pero i believe meron ding white version and white and red diata and although budget brand considered red dragon tumagal naman sa kan yung use h510 actually hindi naman siya nasyira nag upgrade lang talaga ko to this cloud 2 wireless pero mo ay parin ok naman siya both in quality yung sound and yung durability nyan because that's the aesthetic that I was aiming for my build all white all wireless what I'm using right now core server 2 also it fits 2 of your criteria it's white it's wireless but it's not within that price range what I've found medyo may hirap humahanap ng options like white and wireless within that price range so if you're open to checking out a higher price range or meron yung steel series artist yung white and wireless nila taso maganda dun sa band niya washable yung ganito yun yung steel series parang it's supposed to be a good brand but everything I get from them parang may issue ako but in general I understand it's supposed to be a good brand of course it's hard to be Corsair in general for anything cases, perifs and things like that yung problema may premium talaga yung Corsair yung mahal nung product nila or cat yung Elgato bought by Corsair, now owned by Corsair mahal din maybe you might also want to try Cooler Master we've been quite happy with the Cooler Master headsets that we've had wireless in fact I use mine 670 and when I do live from the shop I am walking around wireless and the microphone is good sound quality is also good Rocky the programmer is a musician, he ne-swares by the sound quality of these guys kasi wala masyadong amplification or distortion parang you're kind of hearing the sound as is but I don't know if they have white so that's a thing and also yung yun, the washable band is a big thing kasi overtime that it gets really icky and dirty but I saw another shout out JD from Facebook Andre Pimentel, what GP would you recommend to upgrade from 2060 Super? 2060 Super is actually quite still a decent card so it's like 1080p shading into very decent 1440p personally for me like if you're at that price range already you don't want to go back upgrade nga, you don't want to go back to settle lang for 1080p like the next higher card for me would be a 3070 which is still a little expensive even now we're seeing better prices 2060 drop they are good prices now for the 3060 medya mahal paray yung 3070 like the one we have is let me check 33, I'm not sure like custom order of a different brand, maybe you could get it but probably not much cheaper than that like 30 would already be a good price so medya mahal siya but I wouldn't get any other card you know like why go for I wouldn't get like a 2080 or something like I think a 3070 would be unnoticable like when you upgrade you want to step up and then dapat maram damang may step up so for me that the 3070 would be that cheapest card upgrade to the 2060 super and like if you could get it second hand that might be good also like a second hand 3070 at 25, 22 that would be good you guys, what do you guys think? just maganda nyan since upgrade ka ng GPU for a 1440p GPU upgrade ka naman ng monitor so it's an upgrade cycle it's never they're very slow but 3070 din yung gamit ko so it's good for a 1440p ibang comments lang siguro from other comments I see yung VRAM nya being limited to 8GB but so far naman ako na experience na parang battle next due to the 8GB VRAM yun na for current AAA games and mas lalo pa yung games in the future you're gonna need at least 12GB of VRAM so a lot of people are scared but i mean for current games i think, i mean as attested by Raphael James who does have a card na 8GB okay naman e a lot of games kasi are inefficient when they're released case in point yung Star Wars the recent Jedi Survivor so even with a better card and larger VRAM magkakastot pa rin pa rin kasi may shader loading or i think it was a cash loading yung textures tila texture loading so i think it's easy to jump on the bandwagon everybody's saying 8GB and in video sucks but yung 4060 na pinakabagong card ninyo 8GB lang and stuff like that but for people who have it for games now 8GB i'm gonna get crucified in the comments especially in if i said this in a video i'm sure there would be a bunch of comments saying that no 8GB is a waste of your money na and things like that but on the ground yung mga tech YouTubers that that have a benefit a bit hyping up certain things or certain aspects 8GB especially na 3070 is still quite good for games now and for the foreseeable future even for 1440p that said yun nga if you can get a second hand like for me talaga second hand is the best from a trusted source at a lower price point so i find 30K for a GPU a little pricey because you're getting to 1440p gaming pa rin e and your current card already does that quite decently so it's a little iffy but you can find a second hand 3070 i think that would be that would be good but feel free to disagree with me panel the other panelists disagree with me all the time that's why they're not here anymore pa no ko pa no ko kayo madod dawg house kung ano kung di kayo magdisagreed na basis na yan na dawg house upgrade pag siyan kasi upgrade na isip mo mo move up from 1080p to 1440p i guess ya siguro kong meron kasi yung available na 3030 series or 3070 particular that's a good deal but my opinion is even if the opinion is not popular about the current series which is 4000 series parang given kasi na released na siya if you have the funds to purchase brand new go for the 4000 series and yung equivalent which is i guess yung 4070 or again kasi yung maganda yung public opinion about the 4060 series so i'm not sure if okay na option yung 4060ti so if not that then i guess yung 4070 again given na you have the budget for it kasi yung price difference compared to a second and 3000 series and from kong hindi naman niya kailangan yung bells and whistles ni Nvidia kong option naman sa kanyang AMD cards i think not necessarily better pero maganda rin value yung second at 6000 series cards from AMD so i guess kong 4040p 700xd or 6070xd maybe you can go to AMD but i think option actually sobrang in demand ng 6700xd 6750xd na wala na ko yung mahanap from the suppliers kasi yung niya it's at a good price why is this camera get more light yeah so we have to yeah so it is a good price especially now that the 6000 series of AMD have dropped they're good performers especially at that price point although yung niya ang hirap na makanap ngayon it's like the opposite problem now they're just two in demand people have recognized their value so they yeah they're hard to find at least on the local market i'm not too sure about abroad so a question from Momo the current computer is an i5 6600xd gen GPU sa 1070 16GB of RAM and 500W PSU and then so he wants to upgrade for gaming may dala ba siyang options should he upgrade the CPU, the PSU and SSD so magiging i5-13500 and I assume new mobile kasi hindi compatible yung i5-6600 dun sa i5-13500 na CPU plus new PSU plus 2TB NVMe SSD or new latest GPU for gaming oh i'm sorry sorry what I thought was na pangit yung lighting ko nag screen save lang pala yung monitor ko now it popped back in so ok na pala for me you know my monitor for me personally I would get the GPU again yung yung I came from before I had an i5-4690K and then I slapped in a 3080 and everybody screams bloody murder na bottleneck bottleneck pero you know you're getting a lot of performance you can play the latest games at decent speeds so if it's just for gaming like no other considerations I would say keep your 6600 and slap in a GPU replace your 1070 with a modern GPU for me I was coming from an RX 480ata na GPU and then I slapped in a 3080 so that allowed me to play the latest games there is a slight bottleneck but cost of performance it won't impact your gaming significantly if you swap out your CPU for a newer CPU, newer MOBO NVMe SSD nice to have but you'll feel the most difference for gaming by changing your GPU are there downsides, inefficiencies i.e bottlenecks, yes but the most appreciable difference yung talagang mararam daman mo is if you change out the GPU but let's hear from our panel yeah true, I would agree coming from that jump as well parang mobile ano peyan RX 560X jumping to 3070 parang alamay life changing experience parang naggaling ka sa 60Hz na monitor jump to 144 parang yung jump in quality so yun nga, mararam daman mo yung upgrade if you prioritize the graphics card first so yun yung CPU na gamit ni mobile? i56600 I agree din the prioritizing the GPU as an upgrade pero siguro wag din yung upgrade ng CPU kasi siyempre, yung parin naman talagay yung well, kung e-interfaming yung GPU parin pero e-inisip kasi yung ebang use case yung PC yung baka nag-lalagbe kain naman yung general performance outside of the games kung hin talagang hindi ma-upgrade yung CPU in due time sure kung anong year nililision yung i56600 but yun nga na sa 30th gen at 40th divided by 2 nila yun yun kung um prioritize the GPU upgrade din check sa actual na performance ko if it's kailin nila with the CPU then for the other siguro other work for other tasks um do na na makikita kong how long kung mag-hold up yung i56600 this is what happens to all of my streams now my daughter enters the chat if you listen to the you can't watch now baby girl kasi the audio you'll hear the audio but you'll also hear the discussion and stuff you wanna watch on your iPad? can we watch in like 10 minutes? i can watch yes okay do siya manonod sa OLED monitor no actually mas gusto nga niya dito sa luma kong bank na 27 inches para kasi nakaka para nakako over under siya dito sa corner i don't know she seems to like it more and then that's good kasi i can work on the pg48uq here and then she can watch here but baby girl if you watch then it will get picked up by the microphone and stuff 10 minutes okay so this is how pwede magtanong usually ends or mostly how my streams usually end when on my kids enters okay wait lang you already interrupted my meeting yesterday and today remember there you are on camera okay give me 5 minutes alright guys i gotta go but i did want to answer one last question from reese archives are you seeing hardware sugar becoming a ng? definitely not any plans in hiring more researchers okay wait lang can you give me 2 minutes? can you just watch the video here first oh there's you why are you eating the thingy don't eat your thingy show your donut to the camera and then afterwards let's eat dinner then i will play with dito marvin okay okay okay obviously i'm not gonna win father of the year i'm gonna placate my child with youtube here but let me just pull up the youtube first let me answer that question ay naka baby girl i do this is my 3 year old daughter i am hoping that she will become a streamer later in life para di ko na kailan magtrabaho so please support her early career your retirement plan that's my plan here here first one and then ano but so far ipad games pa lang inano niya so we gotta level her up to pc games mami is it? no but din lang siyang magpatkuban ng hardware sugar shop no baka actually she likes going to the shop not to spin yung mga fans and stuff but i assure our customers that your components are not harmed by babies so how about this one sorry while i distract my child with youtube the most important function of youtube is not to learn about tech or anything so children can watch videos just to answer the question it's hard for not that one here shark week here here it's hard for a local youtube channel to get up to the level of something like LMG kasi mas maliit talaga yung advertising revenue that we can earn so as an initial base it's hard to build just based on a youtube channel you have sponsors but then the sponsors are also not as frequent mas attractive market talaga yung North American market but that said i do want to build it up some more and we're hoping for more subs quality content to invest in the content whether it's the quality of the cameras or also like do more insane things like what linus does na may one year just running a computer for one year to see ko an yung dust build up parang ganun but yes slowly but surely one encouraging sign i like is na 40% of our audience is foreign so non-philippines nothing wrong with the Philippine audience our audience is there but it's just important we have a sizable foreign base also for the ad revenue and if other brands see na i'm targeting multiple markets baka hardware sugar is a good avenue for that a good medium for that kasi the appeal to the Philippine market but also the indian market for example or something ko magpadala kami nung part for review thinking strategically we're trying to position ourselves na watched by the Philippine market which is a sizable market but also other markets as well and i think deep cool for one has benefited from that looking at our analytics our deep cool videos get decent amount of traffic both locally and from other nationalities so ko magaparang shot gan the channel can appeal to a lot of nationalities which is also important for linos linos appeals to north americans but also basically anybody worldwide whether you're asian wherever you are that's one thing that we can push hardware sugar which is a bit different from a lot of the local channels na very focused lang sa Philippine audience so it's been difficult for us to keep our Philippine audience but appeal to an international audience as well and you can see that tension in the comments where people complain but kayo nag-language switching suddenly you're speaking in a language that I can't follow from English big lang tomatalon so that's forced us to do subtitles in all of our videos so it's a learning experience but yes definitely we want to grow bigger but realistically quite difficult to reach or even a gamer's nexus may video sya recently they bought a sound chamber to test the decibel levels of computer hardware $250,000 for that sound chamber I mean I've never in the entire channel life of hardware sugar di ata kami habo sa $250,000 na in earnings in the entire lifespan so we're constrained we won't reach that level but definitely we want to keep getting better and better and that will also really involve hiring researchers maybe writers later on pag medyo stable na yung channel and medyo stable na yung actually the channel is stable the shop is not so hopefully we can get into green just like Intel did recently then the shop can build on the channel the channel can build on the shop and everybody kasi even if the channel is for hardware sugar we don't aggressively push the shop and we even report on things na for consumers sometimes you just want amazon so parang belis ganda nung shipping free shipping pa so on that note I have to eat dinner now with my 3 year old thank you so much to Monika and Rafael James for saving the game saving the day ah hindi rin lang ako solok right and solilo kuy ngayon we can do this more often guys if you guys are up to it I'll just share the re-stream link through all bs medyo mahirap siya I have to explore paano now in fairness the camera is doing a good job of getting you yun so thanks so much for watching guys please do check out the podcast I shout out Rafael James and Monika in the comments and stuff but super grateful speaking of the revenue of the channel the membership is super important it's a sizable portion and it's a steady portion of revenue every month laking bagay they're helping pay for our employees on the shop they're helping us acquire new hardware like cameras lenses and things like that big big help to the members Monika and Rafael James for being part of the panel and yun, have a good night guys happy weekend thank you, bye say bye bye okay let's go eat
