 to do this a while ago so this is first Friday and you know what that means Pwede magtanong time but before that well let's just make sure all of the systems are go so this is the ROG PG 49 WCQ or something like that the 49 inch OLED all right so pwede magtanong first Friday of the month but before that let us get the ad out of the way Dati Dati, igmuresan walang purta sang life ko 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 cdkoffer.com Check out cdkoffer.com Check out cdkoffer.com Use our code HS20 and if this shirt looks familiar you also saw it in the video on Rocky the programmer and some of this is still available but limited nalang yung sizes So first Friday pwede magtanong Sup I'm Gina Brandon, Great Hour, Richard All right let's just jump into it So pwede magtanong is the show once a month where you can ask the questions and I will try to answer them as much as I can Sometimes we have guests, sometimes it's just me Better when we have guests because they're more knowledgeable but you know let's try to model along now Thank you Great Hour, appreciate it For everyone just tuning in you might actually want to stop listening to this live stream and go check out the video we released yesterday kasi may malaki yung Christmas giveaway yung hardware sugar It is like nabangit ka sa video it is I think the most expensive giveaway I have seen for a local tech channel I could be wrong don't quote me on that pero from what I recall from the other giveaways and stuff I go into bakit ang mahal nung giveaway We didn't want to give something that expensive pero na pilitan kami in a good way So definitely check out that video You don't want to miss that one yung pinakalitis natin na video which dropped yesterday Richard from Facebook ano ba tingin ko sa invasion I don't have a lot of experience with the brand so we don't have any in the shop We don't sell it They haven't approached us to review so we don't have a copy and we haven't bought it for ourselves So what I know is just yung naririning ko sa iba and what I hear is not so great I understand the quality is okay The image quality of the monitor is okay when you get it pero mabilis ata masira di naman mabilis but the chances of it breaking down and other brands But again, I can't comment from experience I've never had experience with invasion Like a year ago, we did a video where we got the three cheapest gaming monitors on Lazada tapos yung mga brands doon yung tipong Migo I forget the I forget the brands but it's in that video and those naman were okay Actually for what you got, they were good value for money pero yung nga nabangit ko rin sa video na yun since the brands are a little iffy di kasi go rado kung yung e-order mo yun rin talaga yung dada ting So it's like yung invasion medyo sikat naman siya na brand but sugal siya is I guess how I would put it if you're okay at a good price and you're kind of rolling the dice a little bit sure why not although there are other alternatives now for that particular price price plus which we do have we don't sell them they're not an endorser but they have sent a several review units and okay naman sila yun you can be sure if you order a particular model yung talaga yung dada ting and I understand okay rin naman yung warranty nila because they do have a local they do have a local presence here sorry just want to jump to this a little bit I don't yes final pitch I haven't seen the tiktok I've seen a reel or a short about it I didn't get very far it was an interesting experience so actually the backstory the thing the idea I pitched there we're already doing it hardware sugar so I was just asking for money to use it to do it at scale yun yung second hand parts list natin na yung yung kaibahan niya dun sa ibang second hand market places hindi siya P2P so hindi siya person to person you have to send your items to us to hardware sugar and then we take care of answering any questions the buyer picks it up from us so it removes the inconvenience of the of we tried to remove all of the pain points of dealing with second hand parts I didn't get very far but an interesting experience and then last na about that so like I had like two weeks ago I had recovered two weeks ago before shooting that actually matagal na yun yung shoot and then when it started finally coming out I had just recovered from COVID like a week before that and actually my COVID experience again matagal na ito my COVID experience was pretty good I had barely had any fever I had appetite I was even exercising like the last days exercising away from people in private my COVID experience was fine but then I had to go on the show I just recovered and I had to talk like I had to publicly pitch my idea and so my voice is kind of loud already naturally and you know you have to project you have to show that you're confident and you have to be eloquent and things like that so after that shoot I lost my voice and he didn't come back for like two weeks a month and there are some live streams that I did from that period you can tell na hirap pa rin voices ko and I lost my voice essentially because pinilit ko like I needed to speak for the show and sign naman yung opportunity so I spoke I guess people could understand me naman but I didn't get in pero good experience naman Do you think it's best for all CPUs to have IGPU? Sean Flores from YouTube what's up I prefer my CPU not to have an IGPU but I see what you're saying it gives you flexibility like if you have a GPU it breaks down at least your CPU has on-board graphics so that you can troubleshoot pero yung sa akin parang as a gamer I just I will have a GPU already so I want value for money kung alam ko naman talaga na bibili ako ng GPU I I most likely will not need on-board graphics on my CPU I'm willing to take the risk that you know I don't have a backup in my years of computing it's very rare na yung GPU talaga yung you know that the thing that wrecks your build is the GPU so personally I'm willing to take the risk and I would prefer my CPU not to have on-board graphics anymore but companies actually are becoming more like you Intel really has on-board graphics and in AMD which was sort of the parang baliktad ni Intel na kailang mo siguraduhin na may on-board graphics siya for the 7000 series yung pinakalates nila they have included on-board graphics already in most of their CPU models so personally I don't like it but in general the movement of the market is towards more to what you want na the default of a CPU is to have on-board graphics or an IGPU or an APU I do admit I'm a little biased because in the back of my mind siguraduhin naman ako na if my GPU fails my rig is just off the screen here may shop naman ako I mean you know I can borrow a GPU not probably for gaming but at least you know it's interesting to display in everything while we figure out what's wrong so I do admit but even then like years ago wala paraman yung shop and everything I didn't feel the need to have a backup GPU as it were Kain Kain Shino Good evening Van Thank you Van I love I mean it's always very pleasing to see comments like this na So from great hour damiko po na tutunan sa video about PC parts I mean that's really what we try to do both in the live stream that's why pwede magtanong we'll get to more the more technical questions and also like in the videos we really try to explain PC parts in a non-technical manner like that's deliberate 7800X3D yes it's available in fact it's available at hardware sugar let me just check I'm pretty sure we have it on stock we had it before so definitely available let me check if it's available with us it is available with us so this is a 7800X3D so yeah definitely available if the motherboard is a problem pwede mag recover nun kasi wala akong pambilin ng bago salamat difficult to be honest like you're basically asking can you repair the board it is possible to repair the board but you need to find somebody na magaling mas magaling kais sa amin we don't offer board repair because that's literally you take the motherboard and you have to solder on a new piece if there's a transistor that failed or something along those lines so it is technically possible but on a practical level mahirap siyang gawin you need to find somebody that A. has that experience and B. na may tiwala ka sa kanya that he knows what he's doing so it's a medya mahirap to be honest UPS causing ground static on a PC do I need to replace it I don't I don't know what you mean by ground like when you touch your rig you get grounded are we sure it's the UPS you might want to just try making sure all the wires are properly securely plugged in if you're comfortable opening your computer you want to make sure that those wires inside are plugged in properly doon sa motherboard doon sa GPU baka mawala yung ground and you also want to move the wires around sometimes kasi may basically ground is there's some electricity that's spilling out somewhere and because the case is usually metal it's conductive doon ka nag-a-ground but if you are able to remove the wire that's dumping excess current into the case you can shunt it away from conducting parts or the thing that if by properly securing all of the plugs then no electricity gets dumped into the case where there shouldn't be that sometimes solves the grounding problem so not necessarily baka na UPS yung issue yes please do check out our video yesterday where we talk about the gaming rig giveaway sub kevin craft and thank you for being a YouTube member and thank you for being a patron of the shop as well I understand I can't quite remember your build but I remember seeing I remember seeing that there were some specs being talked about the second hand sports list I want to come up with a different name for it like hardware sugar tiangge hardware sugar parts marketplace or something like that basically the second hand parts list is just something we want to do we don't make any money of it we don't get any cut no commission but we really believe that second hand parts are good value and we're the only crazy PC shop that supports and encourages customers to buy second hand because everything we sell is brand new so of course you'd think we want you to buy brand new but a lot of the time second hand is okay I'll tell you a story you know why there's a line here on this screen I haven't posted about this yet on Facebook but I will eventually so this is not my usual monitor if you've seen my live streams before you know I have an underslong monitor this is the same model the bank EX2780Q but if you go to the other live streams you notice na bago tong linya na to and if the camera are focused here you would actually see that these are multiple lines on screen kasi hindi ganun kahalata but here these are actually multiple lines and why are they on my monitor now yung kwento nito a customer like 2 years ago bought the bank EX2780Q from us which is actually the exact same model I had as my primary monitor before and then ginawa akong secondary monitor and she had lines this is actually that unit so the customer was like oh is there anyway so we can get this replaced pero one year lang yung warranty nung LCD screen of bank Q so sorry I keep saying bank but everybody else says bank Q so I was like you know the brand won't take it back I don't fault the brand they're just following their warranty terms it's also outside of the shop warranty so kung again kung ibang shops to ah wala na sorry nabas sa shop warranty nabas sa brand warranty wala na tayo magawa but speaking about hardware sugar and about still valuing secondhand parts I had the exact same monitor yun nga I used it for a long time as my primary monitor and then I made it my secondary inisip ko maganda pa naman yung monitor ko definitely no black lines like this so I told the customer the brand can't help you no fault on the brand the shop also technically can't help you but I can help you hardware sugar can help you so I have an EX2780Q my own personal EX2780Q I will trade it yours is broken yours as a line but I only use it as a secondary monitor anyway para makatulong sa customer I gave her my secondhand but still good there's nothing wrong with it I know because I was using it every day as a secondary monitor and I got the monitor with the lines with this visual I can't be a I can't be a weather newscaster I can't follow my my on screen so I got her monitor which had this line it probably will fail somewhere down the line pero inisip ko hardware sugar customer and we really value all of our customers I mean parang sirang plaka ako dito but it's really like anything we can do talaga for the customer especially when it comes to warranty ito labas nang ato sa warranty but there was still something I could do I have the exact same model I don't need it for heavy lifting it's not like it's my primary monitor it's not like it's my gaming monitor so I said okay I'll help you out you get mine it's secondhand but perfectly still good and I will get yours na medyo may linear na dito yeah so we are a big believer in secondhand parts so we have the secondhand parts list where we don't get any commission and ako talaga if I can use something secondhand I will get it secondhand and I don't mind na may there's like a there's a perpendicular line by setting the monitor kasi secondary ko lang naman siya I can completely use it fine as is and the customer got back a monitor that didn't have that defect I mean there was no defect on the monitor that we replaced it with her of course we were very upfront with her this is secondhand but it's still good there's no more warranty on this kasi wala na ring warranty to we will take this back and we'll use it na lang you know for whatever use so yeah big believer in secondhand even my fitbit is secondhand daming stuff dito secondhand sorry I just got a little excited about secondhand parts which is crazy I mean we're a shop we want you to buy brand new but secondhand very good value brand on from YouTube very timely question common issues kong ba di nagoon yung PC di ko lang ginamit na 10 days ay na mag-on ang nagawa ko po lang is tinanggal at minalaki yung RAM that is actually what I always do the first time that there's a problem like ay mag-boot up properly palagi ko sinisisi yung RAM ko not so much anymore since I got a brand new build last year is that last year just the start of this year can't quite remember anymore I mean but before when my build was old I would have RAM palagi yung inisip ko but it's very hard to determine just based on your description anong problema does it turn on like when you press the power does it boot up do the lights turn on or can you hear dumalabas ba yung bio screen if not most likely it's a PSU problem and then if it does boot up but it doesn't you know go all the way to windows it could be a host of problems it could be RAM could be GPU even motherboard failing CPU although very rare to have a CPU problem in that context but yung niya ting na mo muna when you press the power button does anything happen if it appears to power up but it doesn't boot up all the way your PSU is probably okay maybe it's BIOS maybe it's BIOS or something wait lang because I ordered Jollibee hang out guys I gotta pick up my Jollibee I'll be back in two minutes okay now I gotta give this Jollibee to my kid because I am a solo parent this weekend my wife is away at business so the kids get Jollibee be back again in two minutes we're back I apologize for that very unprofessional cut from Facebook currently Ryzen 3 almost mga six years na din probably first gen 1,000 series recommended for mag-upgrade for gaming and video editing for office po na sa 30k po budget yung maganda sa Ryzen you can go all the way up to Ryzen 5,000 so and it's such a good platform I'm currently still on the AM4 platform so that's the Ryzen 1,000 to Ryzen 5,000 it's like six years I assume that's like a 1,000 series just jump up to something like the 5,600X so that's the Ryzen 5,500-600X your motherboard probably will need a BIOS update but it should support it most likely but yung pinaka if you want to see the best value for money you can like spend more on the GPU than on the CPU it's a little hard for me to give more specifics kasi yung I don't know the full specs of the build pero yung yung how serious are you like gaming on the side but more for editing and things like that kung video editing you want probably 32GB of RAM you probably don't have that in your rig now do you have an SSD maybe if built six years ago baka walang SSD SSD is the number one upgrade kung wala pang SSD like everybody watching kung wala paka yung SSD sa computer please get yourself an SSD kasi layo talaga yung quality of life improvement everything is so much faster with an SSD so hard for me to give specific hardware recommendations without knowing what the build is but number one if your computer still does not have an SSD just get a small one just for the OS kung medyo tight yung budget but you'll really feel the difference from there Ryzen you can get like a very decent 5600 or again second hand you might want to get the Ryzen 7 3700X which is a very good CPU even now that's the one I'm using in mine so you don't necessarily need to automatically upgrade to the latest gen of AM4 R7 3700X very good save the money that you use save the yung na the money that you save by going with a 3,000 series CPU you can put that so better for your gaming first build having a hard time deciding on which motherboard should I buy I like B550 so we have a common board that we recommend a lot the B550M Pro VDH Wi-Fi from MSI yung A520 I mean especially if it's for gaming yung things of 5600G usually that's like a starter CPU and then when the budget allows you get yourself a GPU for gaming and you just want to position yourself to be kind of mid-range so you can get an A520 mas mura yung na motherboard but it has less PCIe lanes so generally like the B550 the mid-range board is what we would recommend so 5600G B550M so an MATX board that's usually what we recommend and to be specific we would recommend the B550M Pro VDH Wi-Fi which apparently has good VRAMs as research by the guys in the shop and we've sold a lot of them and without any problems actually like meto flawless pangata yung motherboard niyan sa amine can't remember any one having to send it back oh sorry so you did say no GPU plans if like that's going to be the build go A520 no problem save yourself sa money pa best GPU pair for Ryzen 5 3400G I assume 1080p gaming 1660 Super AMD 6600 if you can still find it 3050 not so great actually so yeah 1660 Super or there about 6600 XT you will experience some bottleneck but again as like somebody who every pwede magtanong and every livestream I do somebody always asks me ito CPU ko anong baga na GPU and my answer is always don't be afraid of bottleneck get the most expensive GPU that your budget can afford because kahit may bottleneck malaki pa rin yung improvement sa gaming plus yung bottleneck relative yan depends on the game depends on the settings so just to say na in general bottleneck siya that's true but you might still be getting value for money from it and again that's something that I've done myself yung dati ko computer Intel i5 for 690K sobrang luma na noon but I paired it with a 3080 and that allowed me to play game cyberpunk you know the new games at the time in acceptable frames and acceptable resolution for me so the common advice is oh bottleneck yan and this is the best pairing para yung para yung pagkain tapos oh yung pwede mo lang mapare sa chicken white wine kung steak dapat red wine but hindi ganun sa CPU and GPU pairing and even in the wine world you know na't be so hoity-toity about what you pair with your wines I used to play Valheim with my friends during the pandemic I have not tried rust or days Valheim they really got into it you know my friends I think they can become super obsessed about the game and sobrang na iwan ako and they really got into the crafting and everything at first I was competent at the game and they just evolved their character so much na anlayo ng karakters nila kay sa akin but I still had fun tagging along and actually we had a sorry let me just share in our Valheim experience I think it's a private video I think this was from two years ago I didn't make it so we had a nice clip of us hunting a wolf pero di ko na ata it's on private di siya ano if you wala ko masabi best gaming CPU if you have an AM5 if you're thinking of an AM5 platform you're a gamer you don't need to go higher you don't need to get the Ryzen 9s or something 7800X3D is beautiful I mean that extra cache the 3D the 3D is the connotation from AMD na dinagdagan nila yung cache so basically the CPU has access to more memory and that really speeds up the instructions that it's processing so the 5800X3D got great performance 7800X3D same stop rockin the programmer yes this is the ROG PG PG49 WCD WCD 49 inch ultra sorry super ultra wide gaming monitor 49 inches OLED it is like they they send it to me like mga 2 or 3 weeks ago ever since then every game I've played you notice kasi like ito yung primary ko so this is my primary monitor ultra wide what I do is I make this my primary monitor in windows and then I shift so I put a keyboard here and then my I stick it in there and then my mouse is wireless so I just move it over there so that that becomes my gaming space and so every game that I played ever since they sent this over for review has been has been on the ultra wide because it is it is such a great experience I mean my primary monitor is also from ROG PG48UQ 48 inch OLED beautiful monitor I'm not ready to say yet that this is the new love of my life pero ang ganda talaga nung kalo it's crazy man I mean I did a stream on it so I play CS2 on it it's in one of our streams like a couple of streams back I do not know what this is lemme lemme subland edward from Facebook lemme lemme google that super fasta Koryu why why anong controversy nito? best value gaming monitor what's the tea? it's like it's super cheap I don't know anong controversy about Koryu I haven't tried it myself so I don't have any experience with it like kung 1440p na 27 inch or an ultra wide is around 32 or 34 to be honest like I would go with a 34 inch ultra wide over the 27 inch 1440p ultra wide in general are better for productivity so I have 4 monitors at my setup but even I can still appreciate like how many windows you can stack up here in a usable fashion na 48 inches in primary monitor ko but I usually only have 2 windows on it primary browser screen and viber but itong with the 49 inch roughly the same size as my primary this one I can have 3 or 4 usable sized windows so for productivity a 34 inch ultra wide or larger is better so if you're just talking about same panel quality IPS or OLED nano IPS whatever I would go with the ultra wide all things being equal I am doing okay life update I am a single parent for this weekend my wife is away on business I now pity my 2 young children and if you saw another video we did recently where I said that my 3 year old she's my eldest has no limit on her screen time she can watch whatever she wants however long she wants whenever she wants and does that make me a bad dad find out in the video which is online now kabag magpapapapar may ba sa EVGA co-shared talaga I don't know what co-shared means, but we do it, we also have another video, like it's old, like two years ago. Ako personally, it was my EVGA PSU, it broke down and I contacted them and arranged for it to get shipped to Taiwan. They sent it back to me. So me, like I didn't use the shop, so hindi siya through local distributors through our contacts because of hardware sugar. It was just me, a regular customer reaching out to EVGA and the process was very good. And again, you can find that on our YouTube channel. I don't know what co-shared means, sorry, I mean in this context. None, I don't know if like they have a distributor here. Maybe we should ask Linus. I bought Samsung SSD 870 GB for gaming Pulsana. You might want to reinstall Windows. Kasi if like you had all of the games on OneDrive and then you stuck it onto another drive and stuck it in there and it kind of rearranged Windows. Your registry information in Windows, I mean they technically might still run, but there might be some files in the registry para naihirapan pa rin si Windows. So actually we discourage this kind of thing na you have programs on OneDrive, you clone them to another drive and then make them run again through the same installation of Windows. Try a fresh install of Windows and then reinstall your games. So basically fresh install of Windows and reinstall of the games and then see if that helps. Tan tan, what is your favorite thing when building rigs? Actually I don't actually build rigs that often. We have a tech channel, we have a PC shop, but I actually don't build a lot. Because the way I like to build is like you get medyo decent parts and you don't touch it anymore. There are a lot of frustrating things about builds that I can do them once every two years and then I'm happy not to think about them for the next two or three years like in cable management and things like that. So I find the question funny na actually instead of like what's my favorite thing, it's like all that comes to mind are like the things that oh I'm glad I don't need to do this all the time. I'm glad I can go into the shop and look at actual professionals like our tech staff doing the builds. Because like ako personally I love the tech, I love putting it together, but I don't feel the need to constantly tinker around with my build. So my favorite thing is for any build that I've done is like when you turn it on for the first time and it turns on. It seems like an incompetent thing to say because if you are a competent person, a competent builder, malamang maganda yung pag-build mo, so pag-on mo it'll turn on. But that's not always, you can be like 100% competent but you just forgot something, forgot to plug in something or there's something really wrong with the hardware. So yung first boot talaga, there are memes about it online, like it doesn't matter if you've built just one PC or 100 PCs, kinaakabahan ka talaga that first time that you have to hit that power button. And so for me that's my favorite part of building a rig, when it validates, that one person of a button validates all of your previous work. Okay, I guess I dodged the bullet again and I didn't direct the NVME SSD while I was trying to finangle it into the slot. Or I mean because there's a lot of physical labor involved in building, whether it's a big case, whether it's wrestling with parts kasi an sobrang litno space kung ITX, getting bending, the gosh darn like motherboard power connector, the 24 pin power connector. It's very physical and sometimes you get heated with the parts that you're building with. Again, not the professionals at hardware sugar, just the idiot meaning me who hosts videos for hardware sugar. But it can get really heated like gosh darn why don't you want to fit and mineshwork ko to, dapat mapasok ko to, pero ayaw, andaming WTF moments on your building. And all of the risks that you took are validated when you press that button and it turns on for the first time. Cable management, I have the worst cable management. You should see the PC I have now. It's like that Homer Simpson meme na pala mo matro siya and then you see a back, you see a rear angle shot and it's just all covered by like clothespins and stuff. Parang ganoon yung cable management ko. AIO vs Air Coolers. Most of the time mo lang Aircon. For me, the ambient temperature doesn't matter because it's basically the same. The physics of it is that your PC will never be colder than your ambient. Basically, you're dumping the heat from the CPU into the surrounding air into the ambient. Whether it's an AIO or whether it is an air cooler, that's just the physics of it. So let's say you have an ambient temperature of 30 degrees, your PC, your CPU can never be cooled below 30 degrees. So kalaban mo yung ambient. I mean it's just the physics of the thing. And I mention that because both for air coolers and for AIOs, you're dumping into the ambient. It's the same ceiling limit regardless of what cooling technology you're using. So like for me, the question is more about value for money. For me pa rin, mas value for money yung air coolers. Not to say that all AIOs need to be expensive but generally you can find good performing air coolers at a cheaper price than good performing AIOs. Plus, there are less parts to break down in an air cooler. The tower will never break. So the passive radiating tower part that you stick on there into your CPU, hindi yan masisira. The fans, most likely will never break also. I had a noctua that lasted years. And even if you don't get noctua, kahit masira yung fan mo, madali lang palitan. Super easy to slap on another fan onto an air cooler. For AIOs, yes, you have fans on the radiator, but you also have the pump system. And that's one you can get in trouble with the pump. Even if the pump is working, sometimes it would become noisy because air bubbles accumulate in the radiator and things like that. So for me, it's like if it's a value for money question, air coolers are the same. Maintenance wise, sorry, value for money, air coolers get the nod from me. Maintenance, medyo pareho lang naman yung maintenance actually. I mentioned about the air bubble. Sometimes it happens but rarely. So medyo patas lang sila. Medyo equal lang naman sila in terms of maintenance. You do need to clean the radiator of the AIO just like you need to clean the tower occasionally of the air cooler. Although, to be honest like me, I had my noctua for years without cleaning and it worked just fine because it's noctua. So maintenance for me is tie on that point. But for aesthetics, it's hard to beat AIO. It's really a cleaner look because you don't have that massive CPU cooler on top of your CPU. You know, you don't have that massive tower. So it's a much cleaner look. Usually the radiator gives you a chance to slap in more RGB fans if you like that look. So I can see, oh, and then now you can have a display on the CPU block of the AIO. So you can have gifts there. You can have other images and things like that. So aesthetically, mas maganda tingnan yung AIO. But if the question is just like performance, performance are basically, you can find like equivalents, 360mm rad versus an NH-D15. The 360mm rad might be a bit cooler but not by much. I mean, you know, the big boy coolers, DarkRock Pro 4, now there's a 5 but we haven't tried it yet. AK620 from Deepcool, NH-D15 from noctua. All of, you know, all of those are very good value for money. Matamayin siyang mahal yung NH-D15 actually, the noctua. AK620 from Deepcool. Yung excellent value for money. Matagal na namin, people have been expecting noctua to come out with the next NH-D line. So 15 na siyang ngayon. Pero lumano yung 15. So you're thinking when is the 16 coming out? May DarkRock Pro 5 na, kakalabas lang. So in general, I think air coolers are still better value for money. And then on the aesthetic side yung AIOs, but sometimes mas bagay sa rigay, like you're going for industrial, kind of like very modular, blocky kind of aesthetic. Then like yun, something like the DarkRock Pro 4 would be pretty good. Saap Christian Espinosa, YouTube member Saap Ochi. Ochi has bought a lot of stuff from the shop. Both in the recent timeframe and in the past. Sorry, let me just skip. The PG49WC, which is just on loan to me from ASUS. But it is a very nice monitor. Best RGB application, wala. The major motherboard brands all have. So ASUS has AuraSync, MSI has Mystic Light, Astrak has Polychrome and Gigabyte has Fusion. The problem is premium brands like NZXT and Corsair have their own software which won't interface with that. So you're left with really third party stuff like OpenRGB, which the whole goal of OpenRGB is na kaya tanong RGB component mo, mapapagganan niya. Like you're able to control it through that software. I do not have any experience with OpenRGB, but it's actually one of my want-to-make videos na, parang best RGB software. But on the mobile manufacturer side, it's not really their fault. NZXT and Corsair, both premium brands na they're like, oh well, you need to use our software. For Corsair it's IQ and NZXT, it is, what's the NZXT cam and the cam software? Yup, water. Just water. Subkaiser, nice to see you again. Oh, it is a follow-up. So, tested to plug the computer directly to the socket and to another AVR, it does not produce ground. Ah, there you go. Well, I guess by that process of elimination it was the UPS. I'd be curious to see if it produces ground if other things are plugged in. Like you plug in a refrigerator into the UPS. Will it produce ground? But yeah, if, basically you've isolated the problem and you might need to replace the UPS, yes. Can you watch while we build? Yes, you can, but we just need to schedule it because sometimes you order a PC but it's not the next PC in the queue so you might need to come back like a day or two after when we are actually scheduled to build the PC. This is a good name, yes. Thank you for the Facebook changge, like hardware sugar changge type. Please message us on Facebook so we can properly quote for this build. Subkaiser, JP Raynor. Hello, Vigilante Gaming. Thank you for being a YouTube member. Yeah, I mentioned nga na. We did have, actually, so updated reviews at Prism Plus. One of the ports on one of the, I think we have two Prism Plus monitors in the shop. I think one of the ports broke. And then when we researched it, apparently medyo sakit talaga yung ng Prism Plus. But I think the monitor warranty is good. Sub, Adrian, 1060 GPU galing mining for 15 or RX 580 for 4000. If it was mined properly, you actually, like, they're undervolted. So, I mean, people think na galing sa mining, talagang bug-bug yung GPU. I mean, it's technically true in the sense na they're running 24-7. But at the same time, in terms of wear and tear in the actual parts, aside from the fan that had to spin 24-7, the actual GPU might not be in that bad a shape if it was properly undervolted, which a competent miner, yun dapat ginawanong miner. So, like, personally, I would go with the 1060. For a lot of reasons, I prefer NVIDIA in general. Personally, for AMD cards, yun know, for GPUs, the 1060 has an excellent reputation. Like, it's one of those cards na, na, like, ayaw talagang mamatay, because it's, you know, just so good even for, I mean, yun know, relative, maganda pa rin yun performance niya. In your scenario, it's cheaper. And like, I'm personally not afraid of cards that came from mining. So, I have some old cards na galing sa mining. They still work now. So, if it were me, I would go with the 1060 at 1500. I don't see a problem with that. My PC has no AVR. My PC is directly plugged into the outlet. So, in your case at USB extender, I should be fine. Two AMD GPUs, 5700 XT versus 6600. I'd go with the 5600 XT, sorry, the 5700 XT. Just because it doesn't necessarily mean higher generation siya, masmabilis siya compared to the older generation. In fact, a lot of the GPU reviews that we do, we point out na, it's only an incremental improvement sometimes in terms of how fast it is compared to the previous gen. In this case, yun, 5700 XT was kind of the mid-range to upper-end card of AMD for that particular cycle. Whereas, yun, 6600 was on the lower-end of that cycle. I would still go for the 5700 XT myself. And there are some like infamous examples like yun, 4060 Ti ni Nvidia. I think if I recall correctly, there were some games na masmabilis pa yung Lumang generation compared to the 4060 Ti. So, it was a it's not, di ibig sabihin na newer generation automatically masmabilis na siya compared to the previous gen. Better upgrade from a 2060 Super 7600, 3060 Ti, RTX 4060. Oh man, this is a hard one. Probably going to get roasted in the comments. It's a tough call for me between the 3060 Ti and the 4060. I think actually the 3060 Ti edges out the 4060 in terms of raw performance roughly. So kung pound-for-pound performance lang I think ka masmabilis yung 3060 Ti. Pero kasi with the 4060 you get DLSS 3 which is yung frame generation which is pretty good. Full disclosure, Nvidia got us for a video like last month. They got us to talk about the 4060. So taking in that context somebody suspicious might say, well of course he's saying to get the 4060 because he got paid to say so. That was just for one video. That was like two months ago. But frame generation, the kind of DLSS or the AI learning that they have enabled the frame generation is legit. When we were testing the 4060 you saw significant improvement yung seeing frame gen. So I just want to make sure I can't remember if frame gen is DLSS 3 or DLSS 2.5 wait. Frame, ayayaya. DLSS 3 is frame generation. Yes, okay. Kasi yung DLSS 3 is only available on 40 series cards but yung DLSS 2.5 which is like lighting and stuff, like better lighting, AI upscaling is available on the older cards. But the frame gen is only available on the 4000 series and it was pretty good. So it's a tough call for me between the 3060 Ti and the 4060. I think the 4060 would be slightly cheaper actually. Let me check ka. Yeah, the 4060 is actually cheaper. I went by hardware sugar prices but even other stores that's the more likely trend. You can find the 4060 for around 19,000. Good 1080p card and it gives you frame gen. So I don't know, if you want to save a few bucks and get the latest frame DLSS possible which does have a significant impact for your gaming performance the 4060 is a good choice. I don't know, still torn between 4060 and 3060 Ti. It was actually eight piece chicken joy. I had to get four. You order ko four pieces then the long orders because my kids really love chicken joy. I actually love it when Kaiser is in chat and then I like having my answers validated. To be honest, I don't usually look at chat before I answer. But then when Kaiser agrees with me I feel like a little validated because Kaiser knows his stuff. Although in this case Kaiser was like 4060 is faster pero maraming issues so maybe get the 60600 instead. I completely agree when we sold the 5000 cards of AMD they were a big headache, explain it to customers that it's not really the card so it's not covered by warranty it's a software. Although I would still go with the 5700 XT like my earlier answer just because it is slightly faster and just because I hope that AMD has finally figured out the drivers to follow up to the previous one baka nga PSU. Sorry I only got your message now hope you're still watching. I think your cousin had a problem again about the monitor like I was making a comment about this monitor I think your cousin had another problem with the monitor that he also got from us I'm not sure if he's your cousin because he has the same last name as you somewhere in his name but somebody also messaged just recently Talagang ba may init ang R5 fifth gen series? They run hot, yes. The 5000 series does run hot but that's by design AMD basically said don't freak out about it especially like the higher end models 5900, 5950X they run pretty hot because the thing at the time was that the computer was trying to figure out dynamically how much faster it could get kung kaya pa ng cooling mo it would run faster and generate more heat and then it would throttle back down depending on if it started to get too close to too hot temperatures so running hot is really by design the Ryzen 5 though that's kind of like the mid range tier of the CPUs I wouldn't think that they run that hot but me, I don't mind because my tolerance for hot basically I'm like my thinking is that the components are meant to run hot and they're meant to run hot for a long time yung mismo yung manufacturers na nagsabi noon so when people are like oh I have 68 degrees on idle 80 degrees on load 80 degrees on load is fine for Ryzen so personally I don't get freaked out too much by temperatures it's only like when they hit like 100 I'm like okay well there might be something wrong here either with my cooling or the CPU or something but I am generally tolerant of temps that other people would find to be too hot but short answer, yes the 5000 series does run a bit hot that is by design 19 like we have a 4060 18600 currently available now I think that if you're getting a new GPU like for a new rig, the 4060 is attractive, it got a lot of bad publicity when it came out but it is faster than a 3060 you do get the latest bells and whistles and at 19000 pesos for a brand new one, I think it's pretty good if you're into 1080p gaming mid-range gaming rig 4060 kind of a no-brainer for me a lot of the heat came because the price was a little high plus it wasn't that much faster compared to the 3060 but I think it's a sure 20% or so roughly faster we have a whole video explaining why these rough numbers they come with a lot of caveats the 4060 is clearly faster than the 3060 it is also cheaper and it gives you the LSS3 so I think it is well positioned I might get a lot of hate for that because a lot of people got upset with NVIDIA when the 4060 came out but where it is on the market right now and for the performance that you can expect from it and the added benefit again of frame gen, the LSS3 is legit it's a pretty good card can you get better price to performance from AMD yes you can but then you don't have also the LSS3 does that matter for the games that you're playing it depends, some games don't it depends on the games that you're playing so again there are a lot of caveats there and stuff sorry, let me just skip to Jerome Flores I tried an ASUS PG278 QDM so that review is also on the channel that's a good monitor like oh, OLED damn, I mean OLED, crazy should you wait the OLEDs now are already pretty good so like, for context my primary monitor is from last year, it's a PG48 UQ this is a brand new monitor the PG49 so it's basically like, this illustrates your question side by side I love this ultra wide monitor but the picture quality is maybe slightly better I don't know, it's hard to say but it's not that like OLED then and now, like if you get the one available now versus the one that's coming out probably there won't be that big of a difference so like if you're going to enjoy it right away like you have a bunch of games that you want to play in OLED you have the budget now there's really no reason to wait except if you're like you're thinking, oh, baka mas maganda that reason can be applied to any year that you buy I'm not expecting, there aren't any big leaps expected in terms of OLEDs so the ones that you can get now whether from LG or ASOS, PG278 UDM which I have tried is very good both for video and for games so I would buy it now and this is from someone who has last year's model right in front of me versus this year's model right in front of me the format is different ultra-wide versus my TV style large screen but the actual picture quality is they're very comparable should I have waited for ultra-wide over this one that's more of a format question rather than like an actual critique of the display definitely not nakakasira po ba talaga ng PC yung multiple display as mentioned I have four displays here you can only see two now but I have my primary in front of me then I have one in portrait mode in front of me for chat so I have four monitors I've been running even before this my PC setup had multiple monitors actually it's like a drug you think you have a primary monitor one then you add two you're like wow I'm super productive so I don't need anymore and you're like oh can we put three just for chat nakaportrait and you're like after three okay na and you're like oh I have an old TV because usually na dito yung lumang TV ko when Asus is not you know crazy sending us crazy monitors like this and you're like three okay na and you're like oh may lumang ako monitor may lumang ako TV wala nang ginagawa saksak ko kaya rin sa computer ko it's like it's a drug I'm super productive now then you're like oh I can use more monitors but no I mean more monitors the better they will not hurt your PC in any way yeah generally the m.2 Hindi ibig sabihin na m.2 masabilis siya you need the NVMe but in general yes I assume yung one TV SSD sata so in general yes usually if it's m.2 that just means the format or the size but usually ko naka m.2 NVMe na yun which is the fastest type of SSD so you do want that one to be the one running the OS the sata SSDs are still pretty fast compared to hard drives but they're not as fast as an NVMe SSD assuming that the 240GB m.2 is an NVMe yes you want your OS on that and then just use the one TV for your files and things we are selling through our discounted parts list which you can see in the video link below sabli ang magnaye it was like a lot of people make YouTube channels because it's their passion they want to become an influencer I mean legit right guys it's a big consideration that a lot of people have for me it was just I needed free marketing for the shop we're still a one location shop we're a small shop and even from the beginning like customer service we were getting high marks we've always been very fanatical about customer service yung no BS warranty namin but the thing about the market is people will always tell you na di ka pa pahirapan with warranty I want a shop na yung nga I saw a question earlier di ko lang nasagot na what I think about shops that don't bother to educate their customers so people they say they want that to for shop to explain to them why you want this build and why you want it like this people always say that but you know for like two years we were doing that and we were getting sales we were getting bigger but it was really a struggle to like compete against the larger shops I mean they're larger more well funded operations out there and they can really compete on price yung yung number one thing nung Filipino customers like they'll just go with the cheapest available option that is fine that's a legitimate way to choose where you spend your money but it doesn't help out shops like ours where we can't compete on price because we don't have the volume we can't go to a supplier and say oh I want to buy 50 GPU so siyempre may discount yun so we try to compete on other things but I felt it was really a struggle so we started the YouTube channel as free marketing for the shop and I'm very upfront that while we do videos actually we do a lot of videos that are not favorable to the shop we actually compare the prices and sometimes our prices are more expensive that's just the way the market works we don't have that volume discount or we say that it's actually okay to buy from Amazon we do a lot of videos that are not necessarily like pushing people to the shop but at the end of the day Hardware Sugar the channel is really there to support Hardware Sugar the shop and that's really how I started my YouTube journey out of necessity I was desperate for marketing we didn't have a marketing budget we still don't have a marketing budget but YouTube allowed us to have free marketing and we were just plugging away for a long time we were making videos, they were getting some traction I remember we were at like 500 subs, 600 subs and I'm like wow this is a lot now when we reached 1,000 subs, inisip ko damn this is a lot I never anticipate kasi inisiko lang ang alibreng marketing and out of 100 people 500 people maybe 1 or 2 will come to the shop di sulit na, parang that was like all I needed to expand was my time and my dignity because unlike people of the younger generation I don't really di ko naman hinahanap to become like slightly I don't even want to say it but like an influencer or something di ko talaga hinahanap yun I was a little hesitant about appearing on camera not to say that I'm shy about public speaking I'm okay with that if you know my background kinda guess that I'd be okay with that but just putting myself out there on a regular basis on a platform that you can find me on that's not really something that I was looking forward to and yeah I just really did it because I wanted anything we can do to get the shop to succeed and it's still kinda rocky to be honest I mean we have a lot of debts from the shop but we've managed to grow it hopefully soon we can expand to another location and you know just keep building on our success and the YouTube channel has been a big part of that but I started my particular journey out of necessity for the shop I shared yun na my ideas na yung magnaya that food one the cooking one pato to patok yun I swear sub Andy okay sorry I'm just skipping along here because this is what happens when you can ask like engage with the first questions and then like I forget it's hard to keep up with all the questions but I did remember that I need to show the ad again and I'll see you after the break mga mura hannabi ang redistrosyon na gusto mo piliin ang preferred pay pen wala pang 5 minutes nagsizigit ka na para sa windows mo marami na kaming na tulungan dati sa bindi purto ko but now I'm from a love of my life dati ingmalesan walang purto sa ng life ko but now I'm a world class zumba instructor so web developer ako and content creator for a youtube channel and ganoon pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit mura at original software check out cdkoffer.com check out cdkoffer.com check out cdkoffer.com worth upgrade 3600 to 5700x for for productivity yeah I'd say so and like for games like nba2k I'd say that's a legit upgrade like you'd see performance like you'd see uptick in performance like a measurable increase in performance playing AAA games 1080p max settings 3070 although it was brought to my attention by a guy one of our tech guys na 3070 is actually not that great value for money na 4060 ti is better value for money with a 40 there about 3070 4060 ti you're getting very good 1080p performance excellent 1080p performance 2k IPS can't go back to VA yes that might be a problem with your AIO id cooling we used to have before in the shop they were okay naman actually we didn't have a lot of returns on them but I hear like the art tech guys are negative on id cooling like they've seen a lot of other people bringing them into the shop with problems and things like that so kinda ify well priced our personal experience with them wasn't that bad but what we've seen from when people bring in their rigs and some of them have id cooling coolers not so great amen I think my last EVGA GP was like a 960 or one of the nines of nvidia but yeah it's a shame that they got out of the space and basically because they were like nvidia mistreated us our third party AIB nvidia just wouldn't coordinate with us and things like that sucks that we lost a brand a well regarded brand in that space this is an interesting question and I do not know I have very little knowledge about proper equipment we do have some customers who are musicians or pursue it as a hobby very passionately but I don't know I'm not the best guy to talk about this I bring up the question just in case somebody sees it and comments on it and also because I really like being upfront oh this question I don't know we really try to be as honest as possible na we won't BS you no BS warranty also no BS advice if we don't know we will say we don't know other question nasiramobo ko then PSU so nagpalit ako to Cooler Master 650 and Gigabyte B550AM at nyan po so there's a follow up and then it was okay so the question on what should we upgrade first either CPU or GPU video editing programming upgrade the CPU first the GPU doesn't do a lot of load for the things that you're doing so CPU would be better you'll see more improvement with updating the CPU but madaling masirang mechanical keyboard are they more prone to failures like we don't carry a lot of peripherals in the shop but when we do I haven't seen an uptick like oh this particular keyboard type gets sent back more easily maybe it depends on the brand like I have a mechanical keyboard this has been going for years although it's a very unfashionable keyboard now this was before naging superuso yung customizations and things like that like I have very little idea about the space when you know the keyboard space when it comes to customizations but I like my keyboards loud and I've always liked the mechanical so this is a keyboard sobran lumana nito but it still works so I wouldn't necessarily say na just because mechanical keyboard mabilis siya masirang sub edge sub neo rain who I agree with on the CPU advice oh sub ITX addict sub ssr oh I see somebody background this is usually where I have to end my stream nope here she comes she comes say jay yes did you have dinner okay I am streaming should we end the stream oh tissue oh man the dog stinks get the tissue come over there on the table oh you'll get it they will get it don't talk at point yes everybody okay alright so this is usually the point where I end my streams but I will just do a bit more um that needs to be on sub ITX addict I'm just borrowing this so I don't really care about this one ay naku ikaw alright let me just we'll try edge nope I've been thinking I've been thinking about doing that um like I actually want like a regular stream of our build yung problema mahirap to it's hard to set up a camera like we need to have a proper camera operator so that you can actually see inside the build kung nakatapat lang kung nakatapat I'll run an A I think to filter nobody has asked like should you become a parent and the answer is no no just kidding said you bear wow um we can try to we could maybe set something up and I've been wanting to do this actually with more builds pero yung problema is it takes up a lot of staff time because we need somebody else to run the camera for the build stream plus if we streamed it then you then you'd be able to see us like dropping parts and stuff like the customer would like okay okay here we go here we go ay naku ikaw alright ah say bye bye to the camera okay sorry guys I couldn't get to um most of the videos ah sorry the later questions but thank you so much for joining us on another episode of Bwede magtanong we probably do you're supposed to have a review of the 540 hertz ROG monitor which is crazy but we're still doing some edits on it so that'll come out one day so Saturday and Sunday we'll probably be game stream with PG 49W CQ I think that's right alright say bye bye CG girl bye bye ah wave to the camera CG why are you always interrupting my ano bye guys here here you have a question from chat hany jobs ask what is your favorite show ah paper light paper light I don't know no is it Coco B Peppa Pig Masha Coco B okay there you go we do have a video about that too bye I do hear about this number blocks a lot alright here we go
