 But it's been a while since the last livestream. Well, to be fair, the last livestream, I think, was a gaming stream around two weeks ago. So I have been away for a little while. And we're catching up with the video production and with the livestreams. And of course, we try to do a, pwede magtanong every week. Sorry, every month, like once a month. But we try to do it every Friday, but every first Friday. Pero yung nga, things, what we did for the first Friday of this month was that we had the giveaway. And I think everybody prefers the giveaway over the, pwede, I mean, pwede magtanong is useful. Like, you know, I'd like to think maraming na tutulungan. Pero, siyempre, mas masaya yung giveaway. And we do actually have some updates, like the gaming PC got sent to Bacolod or Bicol. Can't remember which, but we'll have, we got an update from there. We got an update from the new owner. And he's very happy with it, so we'll post it on Facebook and things like that. So while we're waiting for the audience to show up, let me just play our usual ad. If I can find it. I don't know why they always like changing the design here. Alright, see you after that break. Well, lucky you! Pinakabago mula sa CDKoffice.com. Windows 10 and Windows 11, activation pose.

And so this is the show where you guys can ask tech questions and I will try my best to answer them. So you do need to type them out in the comments. I did check that we're live on YouTube. Are you sure we're also live on Facebook? Let me check. But yes, if you have any tech questions, please feel free to send them over. Yes, we are live on Facebook as well. And yun, just feel free to shoot over questions and I will try my best to answer them. It's really, the time is a little awkward. I know that a lot of people are still on the road or at work so nipan nakauwi sa bahay. They're not at their computer or at their mobile watching. So, but I had to do the live stream now at this time kasi may edit pao na podcast. So our podcast comes out bi-monthly so that's once every two weeks. And the last episode we had two weeks ago was the one where we interviewed the content moderator. So he was a Philippine content moderator. He was a content moderator based in the Philippines so it was super interesting like what kind of powers the content moderators have, who employs them, what's their setup like. So that was two weeks ago. And then we, the episode was two weeks ago and so we released every two weeks. So now I pretty much finished the script for the tomorrow's podcast. We try to do it every Friday the podcast but usually nagbabanggaan siya with the live streams you also need to do. So sometimes the podcast come out on Sunday or on the weekend. So I've already finished the script for that but I just need to edit it. And I also need to record myself because basically the way we do the podcast is parang naka-chunk up siya so I'll say something or I'll comment and then we'll bring in the interviews and things like that. Sub Arvick from YouTube and Gian Carlo from Facebook. A320 MS2H paired with 3,400G with a 550W bronze RX 6600. Yeah, like I'm not, is a question like is this value for money or but in general those specs are complimentary. So yung mga specs na yan yung naisip mo na bagay naka-pair at around that price level. So yeah, A320 board, 3,400G CPU, 550W bronze PSU with a 6600. All good. I don't see anything particularly troubling. Some might argue that the 6600 is a little faster. Hindi siya ganun ko optimize for the 3,400G but you know that's completely fine. I don't see anything wrong with it. So there, good bid. No issues. Sub Daniel from YouTube. Mark Salazar from YouTube. For a couple of days now, naka-experience ako ng biglang black screen on my TV monitor for a couple of seconds. Thank you, Daniel Katapang. Appreciate it. Then moabalik lang siya ano kaya sanhinito. So what causes black screen on the TV? Check your cables. It sounds like very basic advice but usually basic advice will actually solve many problems. So check your cables. Make sure everything is inserted properly. Both on the TV end and on the computer end. I notice you call it TV monitor. So you're using a TV as a monitor like I am here. So itong LG ko, sobrang lumana na TV but I hook it up to my computer as a secondary monitor. If that's what you mean by TV monitor na ganoon yung setup, make sure that the cables are properly connected between the TV and the PC. Next up, try changing the cable. If you have a different, if you have available on hand na extra cable, try changing that. And then finally, try changing the ports used on the TV and on the PC. So if you're using one HDMI port dito sa TV, try using a different HDMI port and then same for the GPU. Off hand, it's hard for me to say kung ano ba talagay yung sun heat, anong parang pinakaugat na problema dun sa pagkablack screen. Your TV could be failing. I mean that's also true. But yeah, let's try the basics first. Hopefully, it stops doing that. Is it an old monitor? Or is it an old TV? Yung TV kong a dito, sobrang lumana. You can actually see the white spots dito. Like the panel, it's been like that for such a long time. So obviously, dito siya maganda sa TV. But as a secondary monitor dito sa gilid ko, it works out pretty well. And I'm a big believer in using tech until talagang piga na siya. You've gotten all of the value out of your tech. So this is a super old TV. I got this before I got married. I have two kids now, so just goes to show how old this thing is. It would be terrible as a TV. Like ayaw mo manawod nung TV na ganyan kasi very clear yung white spots dun sa LCD panel. But as a secondary monitor, it is pretty great. Reinhard from Facebook. My RTX 4060 shows zero watts on GPU power in GPU 16's overlay, but the card performs well. If you're getting a display out, like if you're seeing an image when the monitor is plugged into the GPU, I assume there's power going through it. Um, I don't know. I could be, most likely it's a software issue. Maybe try to update the drivers or GeForce experience that might get it going. Generally, you don't need to plug anything else into the GPU. I mean, you plug it into the PCIe slot. You plug in the power that there aren't any other wires or cables you need to plug in for monitoring or diagnostic purposes. So it is most likely a software glitch. You can try other monitoring software as well instead of GeForce experience if you're really curious kung how many watts your PC is pulling. I mean, sorry, your GPU is pulling. Ah, this is like the most popular question. Pwede maktanong or every comment sa mga videos. Like, what's the best graphics card right now? The best mid-budget GPU to get this time of the year. I wait nalang, like the 4070 Super, the 4080 Super, even if those are not mid-range cards, they'll probably bring the price lower. As I mentioned in, we had a video this month na new hardware to expect in this year and both Intel is coming out with its successor GPU to Battle Mage or Arc Mage. I forget what they called their first line of GPUs, but the successor is coming out. AMD is also rumored to be coming out with some good GPUs, especially targeted for the mid-range market. And an NVIDIA doesn't really care too much about the mid-range market but might feel pressure from those other competitors to bring down their prices. So you might want to wait, but since your question is to get this time of year, like right now, to my honest, I'm still a little partial to NVIDIA. They get a lot of bad press na, oh, sobrang mahal and things like that. But for ease of use, the drivers and AI upscaling technology, I got to use DLS3, so that's Frame Generation, which is only available on the 40 series card, sobrang ganda. So like a 4060 might be an unpopular choice. But you get a 4060 at around 19,000. I'm still seeing some prices, and again, I'll reference another video we did, we do every month na price watch. Yes, we do a price watch video. I'm not trying to remember what we call it, price watch video every month where we look at the prices of different stores, yung mga malalaking PC stores dito. There's still some stores that sell the 3060, 12GB version at a more expensive price than the 4060. That is crazy talk. The 4060 should be cheaper than the 3060, any 3060. So the more rational prices for the 4060, mga 19,000, and again, this is a mid-range card. If you're talking mid-range, like the Pong 1660 Super, things like that, those are much cheaper compared to the 4060. 4060 is squarely in the mid-range. So it might be a bit harder na budget. I understand, NVIDIA is really associated with the budget level. But a good mid-range card, and it's very decent for the price of the 4060. It got a lot of bad rap when it came out because it was being compared to the performance gains of the 3060. How much the 3060 gained on the 2060. Parang incremental improvement lang in raw horsepower compared to the 3060 and the 4060. But there is a noticeable improvement, number one. And number two, with the DLSS technology, which is only available in the 40 series or like 4060 na. And we're talking about frame generation, DLSS III, I think. That's a good solid card for that price. AMD 7000 series, okay naman. AMD really trying to go for that price-to-performance market. No longer bothering to challenge NVIDIA just in terms of fastest graphics card around. So the AMD 7000 series na lower-end. Or the 4060, you know, if you have the budget for it, the 4060 is good. It's not anything to sneeze at. Yon. Everything I said, Mark, pwede naman. Check the cables, check the ports, and yeah, go from there. Try using it as a TV and see if lumalabas pa rin yung problem na black screen. RJ from Facebook, what are the chances that the price of CPUs will go down 2024, like the 5600X? I'm pretty confident that they will go down. Unang-unang kasi yung 5000 series is already one generation behind. And AMD is releasing new CPUs this year as well. So inevitably ba ba ba ba siya? But lemme check the... So again, we do have price watch and I like... This is why I like price watch kasi we have actual data, like hindi lang huna-huna ko. We can actually look at the prices. And we can see the trends in the marketplace. So... And again, this is completely... Lemme post it for you guys. You can check it out in real time. Sup, moniker? No worries with Jalanti Gaming, but I appreciate all memberships and I really appreciate that you were on it for so long. Damn, why is BPI trying to sabotage our channel? Rainard, sorry, I'll get back to you. Let me just... Short answer, yes. This lay port is always better than HDMI. But lemme just track the prices first for the 5600X. Because that is one of the CPUs that we do track. So if anybody wants to follow along, this is the link to the price watch... Oh, sorry, I already posted it. So that's a link to the price watch sheet. And we have been tracking 5600X prices since... 2022 October. Since October 2022. So that's more than a year's worth of data. And... We started at around 12,600. Basically in 2023, it was around 10,000. But the last... Since August, it has been at around 9,000. So definitely a very clear trend pa ba ba ba for the 5600X. It's not surprising again because it's not the newest from AMD. Still a very good CPU actually. But yes, if I had to bet money based on data that we have and on trends in general... Expecting new CPUs to bring the prices old CPUs down. Definitely. I would expect the price of the 5600X to drop somewhere this year. Gian from Facebook. Blue Skin of Death. But it goes too quick and I can't... So you can't get the error code. The screen shows four B-sodes in four columns. That's really uncommon. Usually you only get one. Usually you only get one error code, one error message. But I see you're using DDR5. Well, because it's a 7000 series AMD system. Yes. I wouldn't say a lot of problems but DDR5 is definitely more unstable than DDR4. And in this case where it's not overheating, you've done the basics like updating the drivers. And it's still giving you these very weird errors. My guess is the same as yours. It could be RAM but not because the RAM modules are defective. It's just that the profiles might not be correct yet. There are really some birthing pains, some bagong hardware frustrations at DDR5. Which I don't think a lot of tech journalists whether on YouTube or in print really acknowledge. But since we're also a PC shop, we see a good number of them. I wouldn't say the majority but di kami nagagulat. If we're doing a DDR5 build and there is instability and we immediately, our first suspect is the RAM. It's really not a stable yet as compared to DDR4. I would monkey around with the timings. So if the theory is correct, there's nothing wrong with actual hardware. It's just not communicating properly. It's not playing nice with the motherboard. So I would manually fiddle around with the settings to try to find better timings that are more stable. It is what it is. If you get frustrated, you might want to try new, if the budget allows it, different DDR5 RAM, different manufacturer or things like that. We had one actually from King Max which is kind of not a well-known brand. It's more on the budget side but the King Max RAM which we reviewed was surprisingly stable. We've used DDR5 RAM for more well-known brands like G-Skill. They had some problems but the King Max one that we had for review was surprisingly good. Like no issues. JJ on thoughts from Facebook, thoughts on query monitors. I have no comment. I have never tried them personally. We haven't tried them in the shop so I couldn't say. Sa panfausto, budget PSU for Ryzen 5, Aksuri 8. I have trouble really pronouncing Aksuri from YouTube. Good budget PSU for Ryzen 5, Aksuri 600, and 30, okay. It's like oh you don't need a lot for 5, Aksuri 600. 3080ti. For 3080ti you probably want at least 750 watts. You can get a 750 watt bronze, get it from FSP. FSP is a very reliable PSU manufacturer. They're one of the few that make their own PSUs compared to a lot of the bigger names that actually outsource the production, the manufacture of the PSUs. My current PSU is an FSP, but that's not sponsored advice. In my experience with the shop and in my own personal experience, FSP is a really good brand tapos yung maganda pa doon, medyo under the radar pa sila. I mean, enthusiasts know about them, but they're not, di kasing top of mind, the C-Sonic or Corsair. So they're generally cheaper. Get a 750W FSP PSU, semi modular or non-modular even if you really want to get the budget end. You're just getting naman what you want. You want to be, you want to make sure you're getting enough watts for your GPU. So 750W, if you're super paranoid, you want to swing it to 850W, but I think 750W would be more than enough. Get it from FSP or try to get it from Superflower, another brand that makes its own PSUs that is a bit underrated, again, well-known by enthusiasts, but not to the general market so the prices are lower. So FSP, very good brand, Superflower, very good brand as well. Di sila ganon kasi kat, so their prices are cheaper. Get man lang at least 80 plus bronze certified PSU. Ayaw gumana, perfect. Thank you for asking a question. Hopefully we can try to make it work. Ano pangyari if RAM capacity ng PC ko is 2,400MHz lang and you put in 3.2MHz? So they're actually, this is a very common question as well, they're actually two maximum RAM limits. One on the CPU and one on the motherboard. Yung sa CPU, since you didn't mention, I'll just explain most briefly. So sa CPU, manufacturers actually say that, oh itong CPU na toa whether Intel or AMD, hanggang dito lang yung speed nun. So let's say yung Ryzen 5, 3,600 mo, according to the manufacturer, hanggang 3,000MHz yan. But parang, everybody just ignores that basically. Everybody overclocks past the recommended speed of the CPU. Why do people do that? Sorry, why do manufacturers, CPU manufacturers give a recommended speed if nobody follows it anyway? And in fact sila pang amis mo nagbibigay nung overclocking tools, like that's a whole, that's XMP in a nutshell. I mean that's Intel saying that, yes you know here you're gonna overclock your RAM and here you go, bang. So but why do the CPU manufacturers still give recommended things? It's more for warranty and liability issues kasi pwede nila sabihin, oh sabi ko sa iyo hanggang 3,000 lang yan niya niya, but kung pinatakbo at 3,4 oh wala na, voiding warranty mo. I mean it's kind of like a shady move especially because they're also encouraging consumers to run RAM faster. But it is, so but that's the reason why CPU manufacturers kind of have a, we've only tested it up to this speed so hanggang dito lang yung ma-recommend namin. But basically everybody ignores that, feel free to ignore that as well. So the RAMs, recommended RAM speed as issued by CPU manufacturers, wag mo napansinin. For motherboards, that's you do need to pay attention to that. Different motherboards support different speeds. So yung motherboard mo hanggang 2,666 MHz lang or something and you have 3,200 MHz RAM. The good news is na gagana pa rin yung RAM na yan, hanggang 2,6 lang yung motherboard mo, pero maglalagay ka kanong 3,200 MHz na RAM, no problem gagana pa yan. Pero yung maximum speed lang niya is 2,600 MHz. You are tied to the fastest speed possible of the motherboard. Paul from YouTube, you have a 3070 Ti Supreme X, recommended ni MSI 850W PSU. Kaso late ko na nabasa sa 750W lang po PSU ko, okay lang po ba yun? Yes, I mean in a nutshell, wala lang to MSI to recommend a higher wattage PSU. They are not the one buying the PSU and things like that. In the perfect world, if you had noticed or you have budget to replace the 750W with the 850W, why not go ahead? But for the majority of builds, including this one with the 3070 Ti, I think a 750W PSU will be fine. I actually have a 3080, so my GPU now is a 3080 with a 5900X CPU, so medyo mabilis yung CPU. All of that 750W PSU, no problems. If you are having instability especially during games, that might be an indication na kulang na yung PSU mo. But again, with that GPU, I would doubt it. I think 750W would be okay na yun for that GPU. Sa pochie, saplay ang magnaye. Again, vigilante gaming. No worries, I really do appreciate the membership, but don't stress about it. But now I'm mad at BPI. Stop moniker. So this is the earlier question from Reinhard, is display port. I really, I don't know why they had to call it display port. So now, it becomes redundant when you talk about display port port. Like, when you need to reference a specific port rather than DP in general. Kind of like ATM machine. Anyway, sorry. What's the difference? The connectors are physically different. And there are different versions of HDMI. There are different versions of display port. Para hindi sumakit ulo mo, and this is what I do. Sorry, the different versions of HDMI and different versions of display port allow you faster refresh rates at different resolutions. But so that you don't need to memorize everything, usually it's HDMI 2 and display port 1.4A. That's sort of the latest data. I don't know if HDMI is 2.0B or something like that. But so that you don't need to worry about any of those things. Basically, if there's an option to use display port, that's what you use for your gaming monitor, for your primary monitor. Because in general, the display port will always support higher resolutions at faster refresh rates than the HDMI. Now, for the enthusiasts to have memorized the table, they can point out na, no, no, if it's HDMI something-something version versus display port something-something version. Pasmabili si HDMI. Yes, that's true, but in a modern graphics card, on a modern monitor, the general rule is you just use the display port and that will, like, don't even think about it. Just use the display port. You'll get the fastest possible refresh rate at the highest possible resolution. Why do manufacturers provide so many ports on a GPU? It's so that you can have multiple monitors. Like, you can see two here on screen. So, secondary monitor, secondary monitor. Actually, I have another one here na naka-vertical for my chat and then I have my primary monitor, which Lea Magnaie and most of the other regular listeners know is an ASUS OLED, which is very beautiful. I was tempted. I was tempted by the PG-49W CD, which I reviewed, which is also a beautiful monitor. And you can check out that review video. It just went up a few days ago. But I chose to stick with my monitor and my wallet. Thanks me. But, yeah, that's the reason why so that you can plug in more monitors so you can have a multi-monitor setup, which is... Oh, I saw a Plucky Bear Vlogs, which is fantastic. I, for work, for anything, multiple monitors. Like, a lot of people ask me, like, what should I have? I'm a video editor or, you know, I... Yeah, or I just... I use my computer a lot. What should I upgrade? And a lot of people think RAM, which is true, especially, you know, if you're doing multiple things on the computer, CPU, GPU if you're a gamer and things like that, but for productivity, one of the most underrated upgrades is to get yourself a secondary monitor. It doesn't even need to be brand new. Like, again, I just repurpose this TV. Ito, yung kuwento nito, it's hard to see. Anyway, let me see if I can... Yeah, you can see the black line here because I had... I was using one of my old monitors as my monitor here. A customer from Hardware Sugar came in. They had bought the exact same model of the monitor and they had black lines. And they're like, oh, can we get this replaced? But it was out of warranty. So yung gino ako, I'm like, I'll get your monitor with the black lines and this is the monitor now. You can see that there's a... It's not clear on this camera, but there are several lines bisecting this screen. I'm like, kuning ko yung luma mo, sayo na yung luma ko na magadapan naman, na walang black lines. And yeah, that's really how we tried to run the shop. And yung nga, for me, okay lang naman yung black lines eh, kasi I'm just using it as a secondary monitor, but she was an interior designer. And it's really a pain in the ass if your primary monitor has black lines running down the middle. So that's how we roll at Hardware Sugar. We really tried to give the customer as much value as possible, even if it's not required of us anymore. Yung yung out of warranty na siya. We actually asked our distributor, can you get this? They also wouldn't take it back kasi yung yung out of warranty na siya. We're the only crazy shop that would do that to be honest. And the buck really stops with us. Naparang sino na perwiso, hindi yung distributor, hindi rin yung shop, hindi yung customer. Ako. Ako mismo. I'm like literally, the buck literally stops with me. Ako yung naparwiso. I'm the one who ended up with the defective monitor. But again, you know, it's a small thing relatively for me. I don't mind yun nga. I don't mind using that with it always white line, white circles, black lines here. Kasi secondary monitors tong naman sila. Yeah, sub ITX adiq. Oy, salamat, salamat. Thanks with Gelati Gaming. I really, I appreciate the effort. I mean, I know it's such a pain in the ass to deal with banks and all of their OTPs and all of their, did you make this purchase and things like that? But I really do appreciate the YouTube membership. It's really such a steady stream of income for the shop. And I know a lot of people, a lot of people, a lot of the members also regularly view with these live streams. So again, I really can't express my level of appreciation for you guys, especially the regulars. Actually, we've had a strong search of new memberships like the last December, January, but it's really, you know, and of course I appreciate those, but it really blows my mind the way that we have people who have been like 34 months membership or something like that. I mean, that is, that is crazy. Supply from YouTube. Okay, sorry. Let me just try to get to Sorry. Unfortunately, we don't have G-Cash or we're not, we're not signed up to it. I guess we should ask G-Cash how, how we should, how we can sign up to that. Well, as Earl asked on YouTube, say let me just jump to there. What installments are available on the site? So for the shop, sorry, I do have a notion. Saved answer in notion. So let me just get it and post it here. Payment options here. Sub Casey Bollos. Sorry, hindi maganda yung formatting ata, but it's basically for payment options you can have cash, COD if, you know, delivered in Metro Manila because we have our, our in-house guy now. Straight credit card payment, installment credit card payment and installment via third party which is Bill Ease or Bill Ease and that's available on our site as well. No, no. We don't accept kidneys anymore. The marketing kidneys has gone down. Ano bang in-demand organ nyo yung? Mark Anthony, good evening. I'm planning to build my rig kasi may 3070 na ako. Congrats. Good pa ba maghintay nang price drops on CPU and other components or build now? You know, for 3070, you'd pair it with maybe like a 5,000 series AMD CPU. I would say buy now. I know I told an earlier question that the 5600X will drop. I'm sure it will drop in price, pero why wait? You know, why wait six months? You already had the GPU now. And yung nga, very mature na yung 5,000 series paired with a B550 board, X570. It's still DDR4 RAM, DDR4 RAM is rock solid. It's a very well understood ecosystem. So which are very decently priced right now since yung nga, they're not top of the line anymore. They've been out for a while. I mean, get that with a 5800X3D CPU and you're good to go. You will have gaming enjoyment for two, three years down the line. So if it were up to me, I would suggest buying now. Agent Orange from YouTube. What's a good upgrade to run smoothly games like GTA 5 and BA2K? You don't really need a lot. You could get like an old GPU or or upgrade to like a 3200G even a 5600G Actually, even a 5600G just drop in a CPU the 5600G which has pretty decent built-in graphics onboard graphics especially for games like NBA 2K and GTA that aren't super demanding. So yeah, kaya naman ng B450M with a BIOS update? Sub Martin Badoy AMD AMD's like I just can't let go the 5000 series and yeah, here's a new one. Yes, I did not doubt you that the 40 series super would be coming out. We don't have one yet in the shop. Well, okay. We don't have any available yet like for sale. I know some shops already have them online. None of the local distributors have them yet. I think so. I think those are great market. We did have one in the shop. It was actually a 4080 super but the problem is we couldn't test it because there are no drivers yet for the 4080 super and it was sent over to us by a brand that was asking you know, can you can you make a review? And we were all too happy. We were we would have been all too happy to make a review pero yung nga wala pan drivers. So we had to send back the we had to send back the GPU. Although we do have an unboxing video or in a bit like more in-depth which actually embargoed pa yan. So the embargo lifts January 31 evening our time. So we will only drop the video then. So yung nga these shops that are selling 4070 super atam yung nagtanong tas may nagsabi sakin available na siya online. Yeah. I mean those are those are like gray market and they're kind of jumping the gun a little. And yung nga wala pang drivers even for the 4080 super. Sa pan's house to I think I answered this one na no. For Moniker okay naman daw yung curry. Yung nga I can't comment kasi ano I haven't tried it yet. Oh sub Mark Lester din na tayo naka gaming stream. Among the brands you carry for components what are your favorites? I have to admit I am so like just very briefly for CPU I still prefer AMD I think especially the 5000 series the AM4 platform the AM4 platform what a magnificent platform when it released it blew intel away in terms of price to performance stability they just kept improving on it in the 5000 series of the AM4 that's when they introduced the X3D architecture which is amazing for gaming. So and yung nga I upgraded my my CPU for most of 2023 was a 3700 X but then I upgraded last December to a 5900 X and oh my God when I say na for video editing it is so much smoother with the 5900 X my thing with video editing is it's a playback like I hate it when it stutters and stuff but 500 X so beautiful I mean it's so much faster video editing now I don't even do like a lot of like heavy video editing it's just I just want my playback to be smooth for mobile per se I still prefer gigabyte but MSI is also pretty good GPU actually I have no pref ano sorry, GPU I like colorful because you're getting good value for money ASOS if you want to spend money of course always very good quality especially for GPUs but like for GPUs I like colorful although my current GPU is still the old one from a customer like he send it back for RMA cause one of the fans wasn't spinning and I'm like well you know that really doesn't bother me so kinung ako from the shop and that's what I'm using now it's a Zotac Ram I'm pretty brand agnostic although G-Skill is pretty popular with our customers casing like cleanly is very popular with casing with us Corsair also NZXT you see me before not so much now oh but everybody loves the Montex for the kind of entry level PC mine still a thermal take core P3 so it's the open air thing I really dig the I really dig the open air I didn't even put the thermal glass sorry the the TG side panel thermal glass tempered glass on the on my case I I just like it open deep goal I really like for cooling I have an AK620 digital now and it's really useful just to check the temps and like the performance on it nah Martin Badoy that's a very that's a very controversial topic with us here at Hardware Sugar because I use the Vintry Resolve and then Ren uses Premiere Pro but you know I think for both because yung DaVinci even if it's the free version I think it already uses GPU acceleration I think for both what really matters more parin like like what will improve the performance more is the CPU so kung you know like I I have a video I have a short where I my usual GPU is a 3080 and then I swapped it out for a 4060 the 4060 was even faster very slightly in video rendering and that's probably an anomalous you know like maybe one out of 10 times that will happen and it wasn't it wasn't particularly faster than the 3080 but it did come out faster I rendered the exact same thing the 4060 came out slightly just slightly ahead when in gaming you know the 3080 still trumps the 4060 so you know in terms of video editing the GPU yeah they use it but parang the heavy lifting I think is still mostly done by the CPU and that's been my experience when I upgraded from the 3700x the 5900x so oh my God noticeably smoother yung video editing I saw Liam Magnayan talk about the PG 49WCD well ITX Addict if you need a GPU you know where to get wink wink not judge 3080 budget allows the PG for oh yeah beautiful beautiful monitor it's like it's I mean I said everything I wanted to say in the review and you can check it out on the site it is perfection such a nice monitor and I think come I think come like the price it's it's not a cheap monitor by any means but I think the price is actually slightly lower than when the my monitor the PG 48 UQ came out and so you like to be honest like right now I don't have a monitor and I experienced both the PG 48 UQ and the PG 49 WCD I I will actually go to the PG 49 WCD yeah because like quantum dot din siya things just popped a little bit more on the PG 49 WCD and I was wondering why and then when I was researching a quantum dot pala siya so you know I don't automatically assume daming mga marketing kalakohan marketing hype now you know this feature is automatically better but I'll believe it when I don't know that it has that and then I actually use it and I noticed that that did something is better and that was the case for me with the PG 49 WCD um okay Paul 750 Watts and so this already I said yes oh yes FSP HydroG Pro get it get it you won't have any regrets Ramil from Facebook can I use a 40 40p monitor on a rise in 5 for 600 G for browsing in watching movie lang nalala labuan kasi ako sa 27 inch 10 80p monitor sure I don't should not have any problems um displaying 2k resolution on on that uh GPU sorry on that APU Good to hear Liam Magnaya Good to hear I don't I don't scared about that 12 ano PCI for connector but uh it should be okay ha like anong ay like ITX kasi ah um in general like boards from gigabyte MSI ASOS usually okay naman the one we have now is the do we usually carry let me check that what do we usually carry na b 5 50 at a b 550 tomahawk is pretty good for MSI yes for MATX actually before we were our go to MATX board was the ah man I can't remember the model number but Russell from the shop convinced me to switch to the MSI B550M Pro VDH Wi-Fi so that's our go to MATX B550 board now the gigabyte one kasi was ah the DS the DS the part of the dish DS or D3 SH or something like that dash I think but at that one but they kept like it was good before but then gigabyte messed up the format older versions are not the newer versions are not that good though Yeah so yon that's what they would recommend when are you coming back Ochi agree my 3080 is running on a 750W sa no problems I wish I got royalties for every time na eh every time I appeared eh it was alit the PG-49WCD a little pricey a little pricey oh but so nice though ha this is why I mean I agree I agree um liya magnayid this is why I like the Vinci I am not an adobe fan in general Jonathan from Facebook may installment terms po kayo via credit cards yes we do sir um yung na post ko na pero ito yung ano sorry hindi magand the formatting dito eh let me see if I can if I can tab it and there ba sa yun so we have regular installment up to 24 months so yun may interest to dpi then we have 0% interest up to 6 months with Metro Bank HSBC China Bank and dpi ha ah yes the custom the custom order ah asrock the custom order asrock motherboard thank you ah Paul John yes yes thank you the ds3h the ds3 yaya that was the one yes Logan is trying to figure out why I turned off the ah sorry why I closed off the sliding glass door you know this dog literally this dog is a miracle sadly so during the so I walked this dog every day um and he's around like a 10 year old husky he's actually a huskal kasi ni siya pure husky so he's around 10 years old I walked him every day like for years I've been doing that for years the problem was during the pandemic we couldn't go out like literally stay at home you know we're going to shoot you if you go out so he didn't get his walks and so he really deteriorated during the pandemic like he couldn't poop basically couldn't poop um like I'll spare you the details of how I had to get the poop out of his adult because it was not pretty so eventually when we they're bones first like the bone their portions of the bone jutting out growing out and it's impacting his nerves that's why he can't poop properly he can't poop on his own anymore um and there's nothing we can do about it we can't cure it um you know there's no operation there's no drug it is wala wala tayo magawa so I'm like okay doc you know it's a progressive condition we can't do anything how long does he have because you know when doctors tell you that they can't do anything parang yan na yung yan na yung next question parang terminal na so this is like right after we were allowed to go out so maybe yung mid-pandemic yung people are still wearing masks and we could go out but it was like um so he's like you know two years um the vet gave us for Logan it's been more than two years now it's been more than three years not only is he still alive he has regained some of his poop functions like he is able now to relieve himself somewhat on his own so like before we would have to bring him to the vet like once a month once every quarter to manually extract the waste and I know this is medyo deviating na from ano but if you have dog problems don't say that pwede magtanong din't help you out so it's been so the vet said two years it's been longer than two years already he is still alive plus he has regained some nerve function so yeah as Hans Haus to point it out yes once I could I started walking him every day and that I don't know that might have helped things especially because Huskies are the type of breed that need a lot of exercise a lot of you know they have a lot of energy and they have to release it although this dog is really old na so before like he could outrun the pants of me but now I want to get my heart rate up I want a jog he refuses to jog anyway when there's another dog that he wants to run after ang bulis-bulis niya high up din yung mga sunay na it's really annoying so if you know I am all in on the Fitbit thing I had a video about it last month where I really like tracking like the basic things like the walks and the steps and the sleep so yeah trying to get it back on the computer side and big into Fitbit I agree ITX addict it's true like even for me as a beginner and I used to dabble with it before but I just you know to be honest like everything is just happening so fast now I need to get out these videos and the shop needs attention and why does the shop not have money again and where did that hardware go and we have people who call some orders there's so many that's just the professional side like when I have my children everything just happened so fast now that I feel that sometimes the quality of my work is slipping not like videos also but like just in general the things like I would want to do the initiatives I want sana for the shop I always have to keep following up people and you have to push people for anything to get done and then I feel that the quality is dropping up because I have so many things on my plate and just a minor thing would be color correction I used to do that for the videos I used to edit but now I don't and it's not like for the videos it's not so much I feel that like we still test everything we still spend our time on them the video ideas are good but I think just like the little sparkle of edit just to make the videos pop a bit more I feel might be missing there's this big video that I deliberately shot early like two weeks ago but we're only going to release it pa next week and so the pace of everything is too slow for me but then I'm frustrated nga because I have so many things on my plate everything but color correction is like one of those small things na that I was dabbling in before when I still had time but not so much anymore I saw a question from ayah, hands house to wait na, let me just go through the rest sup, Ernie Bryan Balanzuela I don't know ITX Addict isn't it 22? I'm not sure wait na, let me check 4080 VRAM is oh, it is 16GB damn, NVIDIA yes, I agree for me I don't mind so much that it takes long to render kasi tapos yung trabaho e in fact I don't mind kumabagal mag render kasi like I'm sitting back and I'm like oh god damn I'm so happy I finally finished this video I have some time to relax a little bit in the 10 minutes that it takes to render the video so I don't mind actually na mabagal mag render I mind na mabagal ng playback kasi ang hirap mag edit kumabagal ng playback for me if you're a gamer 5800X3D don't think about it buy it, book it I mean, you know 5800X3D amazing for gaming and very good for its price I was thinking about that but then I finally bought the bullet and got the 5900X you know, more cores and it's just I don't know how the 5800X3D would have been in my editing setup I have no regrets with the 5900X now in my rig it's not even so much for the gaming performance but you know for the editing it really keeps me from tearing my hair out na sobrang smooth na ng playback para I think mas mahal pangali ang magnay e because the market is so small so they can't the stores there also can't buy in bulk so they can't get big discounts for bulk orders kasi alit lang na market nilay so yeah, I don't think the prices there would be better in fact, maybe na sometimes worse kasi you know, I feel that the price premium you would pay in Singapore is more just because of the small market and the fact the perception of customers there being that these guys could probably pay a bit more How do I remedy windows updates messing up my graphics drivers? I have to reinstall it every 7 days for my RX 570 don't keep installing windows updates I mean just install set it to don't auto update and then manually update them then just choose the major updates for security and stuff a lot of the windows updates kasi are not super pressing and if you find a stable one just stick with that until you know I mean yes, they always say oh you need to update this right now, right now but if you keep a relatively safe setup you know, you're kinda using the proper best practices to keep your computer hygienically safe don't click on attachments in e-mails if you're browsing sites that are medyo iffy don't click on any banners I mean, things like that you generally should be okay not updating windows super regularly Man, that was back in the day Wala na, everybody's like all black now and stuff oh look, the dog managed to go down and go back up par aesthetic kainit mo motherboards aesthetic na I don't know to be honest let me check Wi-Fi 6? I'm betting Wi-Fi 6 wait, let me check I'm on the MSI site now I'm on the MSI site and it says it is Wi-Fi Wi-Fi AC okay, we're gonna bring me down the rabbit hole here Kundash AC Niva AX it's only Wi-Fi 5 yep the the B550M Pro VDH Wi-Fi is Wi-Fi 5 yes, we do oh wait, let me just tell you 3D X3D, man don't even think about it X3D I currently have an i7 for 790 oh, that takes me back my CPU before buying this new one was a 4690K I want to upgrade to an i7-9700K but also considering AMD processors the i7-4790 is a bit old but why are you upgrading? if it's for gaming you should just get a better GPU I mentioned my old CPU before was an i5-4690K I stuck in a 3080 there and yes, super but it allowed me to play games at a decent rate at a decent frame rate so yes, it sounds like such a big thing fourth gen Intel and then you want to jump to ninth gen but kung hable may performance gains yung mararam daman mo talaga in gaming I would stick with the same CPU it's a very decent CPU pa naman for 790 i7 and upgrade the GPU get rid of that rx580 so I know the question was should you which CPU should you upgrade to but I throw another question back to you like what are you upgrading for if it's for gaming I would upgrade the GPU and keep your current CPU pa naman it's easy to find breakdowns of a520 vs b550 vs x570 but if a budget build you won't notice any not necessarily kasi pinakamura a520 mas less durable that's a misconception like a b550 won't necessarily last longer than an a520 so it's just the PCIe lanes basically there's some features there but for a budget build an a520 is not a problem I wouldn't hesitate putting it in a budget build and we recommend to our customers especially those like on around 20,000 peso budget a520 yes I don't know Liam Magnaia mentioned Rafael my brother he would be the one to know more ah but if you want to pass by the shop we still do have the the charcoon that is a big that is a big chair like when I'm in that chair I feel like it just follows me up that could hold a hefty individual if you want to try it out we still have it in the shop they send it to us a couple of years back for review and it's a comfortable chair and it's quite large I actually saw so for those who don't know I have a brother he was also active in hardware sugar before but you don't see him around a lot anymore because he is in the states for further studies he's a lawyer I'm a lawyer as well he is taking up his masters in the states right now so he was home for the holidays he spent some time in his Herman Miller chair although he got a nice chair also because a brand sent him a chair for review there in the in the states they send it to him in the states so he has a pretty nice chair also there Rafael is big on chairs upgrade na there's a lot a lot of ways get some accumulated there I won't go into graphic detail but yes we probably can I mean I don't know about carrying it but as custom order we probably definitely can when it finally gets here I've been wanting to get someone to do animations for the videos I think that will really spice it up plus make it more accessible like we can actually make the videos more like the facts or the teachings that you want to impart would be easier to follow if we had animation if we had custom animation something I've been wanting for a long time for the channel maybe we can do that yeah this year hopefully we'll see generally 27 inches people mostly recommend 2K or 1440p but it's really up to you I mean if you like it at 1080p why the heck not I mean don't let anybody tell you otherwise it's just because generally this is a 27 inch monitor I have it at 2K generally for that size parang mas efficient yung use of screen and it's just nicer looking in general to have it at 1440p or 2K but if for whatever personal reason you prefer 1080p on a 27 inch sure why the heck not I mean what I'm saying is people choose 2K on a 27 inch sure because they feel na mas bagay yung screen size to having sharper images and usually 27 inches menjo mataas na yun it can support higher resolutions I mean you're paying for the higher resolution why not use the higher resolution but if you prefer the 1080p why not I still really like the 1660 Super for like some for these kind of builds but you'd be surprised like you can use APU so 5600G 5700G maybe if you want to splurge a little bit more and that'll be perfectly okay for a live stream so what I'm saying is you don't really need a GPU per se to live stream especially depending on like it was just like a live stream like this na walang graphics involved or something mas may refer the computer it's more low to the computer if you're playing a game and then live streaming at the same time but it was just like a simple live stream like this APU completely okay like the version of I don't know if our sponsor has that but you could check ha oh man thank you for remembering horizon forbidden west like I'm really I'm at this point in my life I'm a little frustrated that I don't have enough time to do the things I want to do and one of them is gaming um so like I can't jump on forbidden west right away but I will I promise myself I will so I'm like no need to no need to pre-order it but I'm going to get to that I'm going to get to that minum VRAM for triple A games triple A game 16 I guess but I don't know the whole thing would be VRAM because it depends on the game like how efficient is it in asking the GPU to render stuff 16 like if you're getting a modern high-end graphics card I think 16 would be the very basic minimum and as pointed out by itx adic the 4080 is 16 gigabytes I'm a little bit surprised because usually at that price range you think 20-22 but um yeah I think the minimum for triple A games you know and you're getting a good graphics card to play those triple A games at a nice resolution at nice settings would be yeah around at 16 gigabytes my friend has recommended it to me but I haven't played it yet I believe Nintendo has tried but they have lost so they're being just busy about it but I think legally they've tried but they couldn't we did the ad we did the thank you for the reminder but we did the I only needed to play the ad once and we played it at the start so no need na to play it in the middle I already did the live streams where I played them in the middle I agree actually it's often it's often a random notion in my head na Nintendo is well loved but it's really harsh on its fans people who stream their games people who do some custom thing and then they immediately get sued by Nintendo so Nintendo gets a lot of love for its characters I think also nostalgia especially for me I grew up with Mario in the late 80s early 90s and it gets a lot of credit for it being creative when people were pushing bigger and better graphics like Sony and Microsoft PS and Xbox Nintendo went with the switch which was a complete what are you crazy why aren't you going for the latest and fastest hardware and then you're sticking it in a mobile device how's anybody going to use that but they I think you have props to Nintendo for being creative for putting games first so they get a lot of love but at the same time they are really harsh on their players and on their fans and no multiplayer like very inept execution they don't care basically about multiplayer connecting games and things like that because like connecting people in virtual lobbies so that they can play games and things like that and yet there's such a well-loved company so I think they don't appreciate how much they get away with how much they get away with so on that note I think I have to go because I do have to edit the podcast which hopefully will come out tomorrow morning and I haven't like even started yet but it should like I did the script already so para mabilisan nandapat yan so thank you so much for watching guys like just like that we're at the tail end of January one month almost done oh let me just read out like we have a bunch of content coming up so like I even made a list today tomorrow hopefully the podcast 28 Sunday medya break muna tayo so people can the YouTube algorithm can push the podcast to more people 29 is the review of the Dark Flash cases we have which are pretty good actually that is Monday January 30 Tuesday another live stream I owe the sponsor another live stream it'll probably be a hardware sugar acts live stream so I we were not able to do a live from the shop this month but it'll come back next month because there is a holiday and I like to do live from the shop on holidays 31 is the unboxing and initial thoughts on the 4080 Super which a brand kindly sent to us I'm not, I don't even it's still on embargo so I can only you can only release it January 31 evening I don't even know if I'm allowed to say the brand so that's why I didn't say it and on February 1 the long Thursday Thursday is much awaited 24 build tips for 2024 which I shot a long time ago frustrated that the edit is taking so long although to be fair it is a long video that is Friday and then Saturday Sunday Feb 3 and Feb 4 either gaming or live stream and then Feb 5 is the part 2 in our crypto trading trilogy five things you don't need to know if you're going to be trading crypto and I'll probably do a crypto watch because early on in Feb because crypto super interesting again no plans for upcoming sales happy weekend to everybody thank you I it's always nice to hear back from the winners that they're enjoying that they're enjoying the that they're enjoying you know the prizes and thank you Lea Magnaya it's it's been yeah the podcast you know I think it has really shaped up well I wanted to do something that's more personal like also more relevant to like local Philippine setting rather than the old format was like just me with hardware news which was interesting naman but it wasn't really engaging me on a like creative level like I don't even want to sound like those hoity-toity parang anybody because it can do hardware news and do it better but with a new format of the podcast I think it plays up to the strengths of the channel to myself it does take a bit more time to produce and we got we actually got a full time sorry a freelance producer to help us find people and to generate ideas and things and she's working out very well yeah so I'm quite happy it's been only two episodes of the podcast and the third one hopefully tomorrow but I'm quite happy with the way it turned out I'm annoyed with myself the first one a good topic I think good editing I like the kind of points that you're making except on a production value level my mouth was too close to the wave one so the audio is not the greatest it peaks a lot tapos tinasko pa yung gain while editing so in the second one just on a oh yeah it's really time to go because my daughter's there oh but yes baby girl yes baby girl I'm streaming I'm working yes baby girl actually I'm just saying bye so I can get a quick bite I need to edit the podcast yes okay I'm going to say bye but on a production level I felt that it's a really learning journey for me for the first one you'll notice that the second episode in the podcast the audio I felt was much better so yun thanks so much again for watching guys and I will leave you with ITX addicts wish I hope to see you guys on the moon too I don't know baby girl okay bye bye wait to the camera
