 For a very early stream from the shop and as long time viewers know, let me adjust the camera a little right there. As long time viewers know, we tried to do a livestream from the shop at least once a month. We didn't get to do it last January so our last live from the shop was last December and I tried to do it when it's a holiday kasi Matyumahirap pagshoot nung live when yung people coming in, yung customers coming in plus, yung know, we've gotten a bit cramped in the shop. We always seem to outgrow the space. We keep moving to a bigger and bigger space but you know, we just keep outgrowing it and that's also true for this particular spot that we're in. I think we've been here and we moved out from Gijo. We're in Chino Roses now for the past two years but we keep outgrowing it so it's hard to stream from the shop when we're actually using the shop so may papasok ng customer, may nakalatag dito. Let me just show our primary test bench so may naka, you know, may, there are patients on the bench kong baga and we'll talk about some of these guys in a bit. You can see in the background the NR 200P there but before all of that, okay, stop Mark Lester, maaga ka rin na. Yeah, I wanted to get a fast start to today kasi marami paong gagawin but I had a great yesterday sa yan nung kahapon talagang I just took it easy. But as long time viewers know, I'll see you after the ad break. Hanapin ang address version na gusto mo, piliin ang preferred playpen logo. Wala pang 5 minutes na ccd ka na para sa windows mo. Marami na kaming na tulungan. Date, sadong depressed ako. But now, I'm from a log of my life. Date, igmasin walang purtos ang life ko. But now, I'm a world class Zuba instructor. So web developer ako and content creator for a YouTube channel and ngayon ganun pa rin ako pero activated na yung windows ko. Kayakon naghanap ka ng legit, mura at original software. Check out cdkoffer.com So yes, we tried to do life from the shop every time na walang pasok. We didn't do it last month kasi I already had enough live stream so usually we need 4 for the sponsor. So we did one na giveaway so it was our big giveaway last January 1. This is actually the first time this year that I'm doing life from the shop. That's good. I approve of this plan. That sounds like a good way to spend the holiday Saturday. Sop, Brennan Espartines. And thank you for also being a customer. Both Mark Lester and Brennan are customers of the shop. I'm sorry if I just outed you guys like if you were hiding from your particular spouse or girlfriend or partner na Oh, hindi naman ako bumili na computer. Yes, those guys have bought from the shop. So usually what we do in life from the shop is we just go around the shop and make kwento. We're gonna talk a little bit about what the current builds we have in the shop. I am surprised there is an audience or like 20 plus people watching. I don't know what you guys are doing up but I hope it is because either you just got off your shift and you're ready to start your weekend or you woke up super early to game. That's what I did yesterday. So it's been a bit hectic but so the last time I got to play Cyberpunk was like mid January. And then so yesterday talaga I was like I'm not gonna do any work. So I'm not gonna answer any emails. I got no reply. I'm not going to do any live streams. We did release a video but I was already pre-planned. So I woke up early so I could play Cyberpunk. And that is the, for me, you know, pound for pound value for money. That is the best way to start a long holiday. Wake up early when nobody can bother you and you get some gaming time in. Stop Sonny from Facebook. These are the Cooler Master MH670. These are actually a very old model. So it's like maybe three years old. We do have two left in the shop and I know I sound biased because you know we're trying to sell something but they are really good. I also use these for gaming. So these are my, actually these are my primary headset both for media consumption, like watching videos and for gaming and when I do need to use a mic. Actually, if you've noticed my streams from my place, I do use an Elgato Wave 1 as my primary mic but if I need to walk around like I do now, I love it that they're wireless. Usually if I can make something wireless or there's a wireless version of something that I need, I'll get it. So that's my mouse, my headset, things like that. And yeah, the sound quality is very good and you can get them really kind of cheap now. So they're not the latest model but the Cooler Master MH670, both sound quality and audio quality, excellent at a very good price right now. And we still have to watch out. Parang, this sounds like there's a whole backstory to this. I would ask na lang over the stream but you know, parang I am kind of curious now. Stop vigilante gaming. No sale. The sale was last Monday I think when, another thing I've been doing is na, I game stream CS2 and palagi yung title, kung maka MVP ako, there'll be a sale from the shop and kumpantiy ako kasi I never get MVP naman. I mean, I get it like once in the blue moon, maybe once every three months. But what are the odds that you're streaming? Nagkataon na nag MVP nga ako, I think last Sunday in my stream game last Sunday. So it was sobrang kalokohan. It was ridiculous. It was a wasted MVP. We were terror and mananalo na yung counter. They just needed to win one more round. So yung naman ako nakatapon. I'll just play my regular game and that particular round, I got four kills and I got MVP and we won, terror won that round and then we lost the next round. So completely useless and that was the game. I'm completely useless MVP except nakatao. So except the consequence of that was na since naka MVP nga ako, I did the shop they go on sale. I think the Monday. So the day after I got MVP, we were 5% off on everything. But you know what I like about hardware sugar customers? A lot of them like note naman super look for a discount. They understand that they come to us not because we have the best prices, although I think over all our prices are competitive naman. But because customer service will really walk you through like oh we recommend this because you're doing it for video editing so you don't need heavy GPU that's for gaming. So we tailor it to your use case and there wasn't really much of a response when the shop went on a flash sale 5% off for one day. Although we did announce it on our usual channels. So we will be we will be let's just go through the shop a little bit like what's going on. We're going to need a primary camera. I'll take my walk around camera or a droid cam. So this is my cell phone and I'm using droid cam to hook up to the laptop and that intern everything is piped through restream. So you'll notice we have like 22 LG monitors I think here. So these are 49 inches. It's definitely gaming to 40 hertz. 1000R curved and then 2K gaming. So these are all paid for already by one customer. They're going basically to a big arcade. The customer is trying to replicate an F1 type of experience. So they got their custom they're ordering custom computers for mass like custom in terms like of the specs. And then they're also going to fabricated like a oh sorry I realized that I should make this bigger. There you go. So these are like the 20 or so 22 I forget how many LG monitor 49 inches these are. So they fabricated a enclosure. So it's like a racing sim kind of setup. So we building up so they're getting the place ready. They're getting the computers ready. But we've already shipped around four. I think the name of the place Monzo arcade or something like that or Monzo Barcade. It's in Akovia in Pasig. But you know they're still setting up the space but they're ramping up their marketing already and things like that. Actually this has been in development since last year. And these monitors have been with us for a while. You know I would never get something that was already paid for by a hardware sugar customer but I must admit to being a little tempted to try them out. To test them. You need to test stuff before you give them to the customers. AP201 Lovely case. We've had review on it since last year. Plain to Fame is obviously the basically wraparound mesh. So it's mesh here mesh here and mesh mesh here. So a lot of airflow going on in this case. It is an MATX case. What I like about it though is that it's more compact or it's shorter at least than the usual ATX case. So you can fit it into more spaces. It looks damn good. It also comes in white. It's black and white. I love the front panel. Very subtle. Power button. There's an outline here. It lights up USB-C all the good things. So one very solid case. And you know what I like about this aesthetic? The whole mesh thing. So you think TG side panel is the best way to look at your RGB and your rig. But I really like it when the RGB is cut up. So when you turn on the case and when you turn on the computer and there's RGB inside and then the light is filtered through the mesh. I think for me that's a more pleasing aesthetic. Super bright in your face na RGB. Granted you don't really see the components but a lot of the time maybe you don't want to see your components. Unless you have a digital readout like the AK620 digital over there which is currently actually my current CPU cooler. Oh yeah, we'd be interested. Although yung twi honest I don't know a lot about controllers. I'd have to ask the guys in the shop like things to look out for and stuff like that. I'm not from Hardware Sugar because of your no BS warranty. Yes, that actually is also a big part of why customers choose us over. I mean you know that andami ng ibang shops eh. I mean there are like a ton of shops out there. And that's good for the customer. There are a whole lot of options and you know we try to distinguish ourselves with yeah the no BS warranty. Sa panton. Top dances at Waifus. To be fair it we fairly have a sale. And yeah 5% isn't a lot compared to like the sale of some other shops. I don't know how some of the other shops do it na they're constantly on sale. And some of the sale prices. Like to be honest some of the sale prices of the shops mas mababa pa kaisa sa distributor so I mean I do see the distributor prices. So I don't know how they're making money because they need to buy from the distributor and then they need to sell them. But if they're selling them below the price of the distributor, lugi pa sila. And for me especially as the owner of a small shop I'd rather just break even kaisa sa mabenta pa asa los. I mean of course you have to wait because sobrang lumana ba nung part di na talaga mababenta yan. You're trying to recoup na lang some money versus at least all of the money that you poured into the part. And that's really a big headache with the shop on how to as a small shop how to juggle all of our finances to make sure that we do have stock of things and at the same time everybody gets paid and things like that. It's a big headache. After this time shay manton, I am scheduled to vacuum my car. So I have a three year old who might bring to school mostly every day of the school week and she likes snacking in the car and there are so undamming and damming crumbs and damming all the biscuits that she eats and stuff because it's like a bunch of stuff. So um yeah, it's been a real eh, I'm trying to okay, I'm trying to yeah flip it. So I mean I like keeping a neat car and it kind of drives me up the world that my daughter is just so flippantly tossing crumbs on da. So I got myself like those portable vacuums the one that you plug in, so yung medyo malangas naman and then every once a week or so I try to vacuum my car and that is on my to-do list for this for this Saturday. But I do need to edit a video that we're going to release hopefully tomorrow. Five things you don't need to know before trading cryptocurrencies. So I got to edit that but I do want to get in some gaming time as well. Seeking of cryptocurrencies, Maverick Hornet in the chat. Yes I have Maverick Hornet is a regular on our crypto watch which we'll be doing sometime this week siguro, maybe Tuesday for those not following, yet the crypto market is doing quite well. But after like 10 days of the price kind of goes up, it goes down it doesn't really go anywhere. But like maybe for the past three days or so, sobrang nakas ng crypto basically from slightly below 42,000 for a bitcoin 42,000 us now it's at around 47 so I'll focus on what's in the shop for this stream but definitely monitoring that space and exciting times for crypto although I just heard a I'm going to lose my low bat na to I got to move around before my phone dies. I'm not going to charge before I started the stream so let me just while we still have it alright while I can still go around, here we have a Corsair, Corsair 4000D NHD15 from Max Black I mean what is there to say? I mean the NHD15 up to now still looks super solid and here's a NVMe P5 Plus with a heat sink usually this must have been custom usually see this in the shop like with a heat sink usually we just use the one with the mobile so the AP201 this is definitely in for diagnostics because we were running a mem test on it so if anybody from the shop is watching this past mem test I turned it off already this one Corsair 4000D obviously ATX case 3 fans in the front 3 fans also on top super maximized this guy is doing in the shop actually for diagnostics or something sorry this is not a Corsair 4000D apparently it's an NZXT huh H5 H7 I apologize to NZXT NZXT was super big maybe like 3-4 years ago now they've kind of tapered off but and you could have fooled me we do sell more Corsair 4000Ds so yeah kala ko Corsair 4000D but it's actually an NZXT H5 maybe and of course our very lovely cable management props to the guys in the shop I could never make it that clean so alright this is nice MATX major size last mainstream size is of course ITX NR200P I also do not know what the NR200P is doing here is this a new build? I don't think so one of the most popular ITX cases not the most compact of ITX cases but it does make things a lot easier for us I think this is the max I know the max also comes with its own cooling yes yes I think it is the max because it has the AIO also so I think it's NR200P max so with the NR200P actually both the max and the non max version you have a choice they come with two side panels the TG, the clear glass side panel and the Vented or the mesh type of side panel especially if you have your with a GPU like this it's really better to have it like the Vented one and that's my issue really with horizontally sorry vertically mounted GPUs I worry especially in smaller cases like this what air flow where can it get its air flow it's really impeded it is where a TG side panel deep cool Macube I think this is a Macube or CH510 they've been experimenting with a lot of things in the shop actually as usual love the magnetic thing so easy to remove this though is not magnetic oh this must be a new build sorry customer you can do the peel don't tell the don't tell the customer right accidentally started the peel already although and that's a para na lang sa uso also like three years ago you would see all the reviewers like the peel but now it's gone out of favor look like a solid build AK620 oh wow I think this is a 4070 there's an MSI in there gaming slim I don't quite know the specs on this guy gotta put the filter back I think this is a new build these three are probably diagnostics but this one is probably a new build we do have I think we're just waiting for parts for this so here we have the error 200p max and the 4070 do maybe this is a new build too nipalang na customer here's the ASUS 4070 alright so this is a new build too new build and I think those two diagnostic so there's a 4070 in there we do have a 4070 super I think this one was also a custom order oh no it's a new build too it's an H7 to be honest I've been really this is also a new build so this is a 4070 super we got the nhd15 chromax max chromax black and so this is an H7 flow to be honest don't tell the guys in the shop I haven't been as nakatutok sa shop this year kasi I am trying to give them autonomy because I figure if we're gonna be if we're gonna be expanding hardware sugar it's not physically possible for me anymore to to be the one to do the inventory and then also have to check on the rma and things like that so I'm trying to maintain the quality but you know I'm sort of like if it like in management structure level like a bit more on top and then I'm giving a lot of autonomy to the guys who are actually on hand at the shop on the ground at the shop which is not to say like even before I gave people a lot of autonomy like a lot more autonomy than a regular boss I think would give and so that's I've accelerated that process even further this year ay because there's so many things going on with my family just in terms of regular stuff like the kids are growing up so they're gonna start they're starting to go to school I started teaching again at my alma matter so on the personal side on the personal side also like this year I really you know science are pointing to it being a super big year for crypto so I don't want to miss out on that earning opportunity so since last November I have been updating myself on modern trading so I've been in crypto for a very long time I've had skin in the game for a very long time bitcoin was single digits you could still CPU mine when I got interested in cryptocurrencies but it's only since last so I've been you know trading trading but you know not really like super hardcore about it last November you know I flipped the switch I'm like you know just be hardcore about this magandang opportunity for 2024 early 2025 so a lot of my time has been devoted to that as well so transitioning between and I think it's appropriate na life of the shop I kind of talk about like how we're running the shop last November sorry last December into January pan I've been trying to evolve more of my functions to other people so that we can still maintain the quality but you know I'm free to concentrate a bit on other things hopefully the shop breaks even soon because I'm really tired of losing money so tiring so so nakaka so I'm very upfront that you know hardware sugar doesn't make any money I'm constantly borrowing from people to get the shop running to keep the shop operating pero to be fair you know we keep upgrading the shop so all of the profits of the shop get plowed back into the shop you know we've expanded the number of people we have the space that we're in the inventory that we carry but you know it's just it would be nice if the shop could do all of those things and maintain man lang at least a green cash flow so I mean I've been very upfront na yes it's very difficult to run a shop maybe I'm just a sucky businessman I mean that is that might be the case that that that is a possibility I have noticed that towards maybe the second half of the year sales are better but the first half you know people just bought no Christmas and things like that that's when I notice historically speaking I have to lend out or find you know temporary sources of income to supplement the shop and it's not uncommon for businesses to be to you know binabawi dila so part of the year they're in the red and then the parts of the year that they're in the green they make up for it like one example that comes to mind is toys are us before toys are us in the states a super big retailer of toys and they would only be in the green starting like November December but what they made in November December was enough to cover their entire costs for the year because you know to November December big buying opportunities for kids so you know I'm not like super concerned but like you know I am tired like after years of running the shop that I have very little monetarily to show for it so hopefully this year will be the year that we turn that around yep there is like the new nvidia GPUs they're shouldn't have been on sale yet like embargo sila from our primary distributors but like we had some customers to be fair like they were super loyal they were messaging us oh you know the 4080 super something like that and we're like it's really not for sale yet and they're like what the other shops have it nothing wrong with the gray market especially if you get it at a good price and if you get it from a resta an established retailer or the warranty but yeah those are not um from the official distributors cat yung 5700 x3d embargo pa rin yun even though that one we could buy already from um from our local distributors yeah um it's a very competitive market um pc shops one you really need a lot of capital because these parts are effing expensive of 4070 you know um I don't know what CPU is in here and n7 flow ndxt you know will set you back quite a number of thousands of pesos and if if the customer thinks it's expensive um yes you know I mean if a customer feels like oh sobrang mahalong 4080 is even malalang like a shop that has to carry like three of those and something like that so that's why our inventory is always um kind of just spot on like we only try to carry as much um as we can compared to I mean you know we don't stock a lot but we try to be more nimble with our inventory because you know our capital can't support it we need to be adaptable uh I love um mag stream ka rin ng hfw on pc na I really want to sorry Vigilante gaming knows that I've been I'm a big fan of horizon zero dawn so that I don't usually play console but that came out um on you know that was on ps4 I stole my brothers ps4 to play it I love loved horizon zero dawn um forbidden west the sequel um came out already on ps5 but the port is coming soon to pc but I don't have the time um I will probably pick it up maybe December when it's on discount because I gotta like for the AAA games I want to do the Jedi night um sequel which came out last year um armored core I also want to do that one but I'm still finishing cyberpunk which is like um I got phantom labor I was gonna get phantom wait for phantom liberty like on discount but uh one of the youtube members uh sent it to me so again super thank you and I am I am really enjoying it uh when I do get down to play I'm only maybe in the middle of phantom liberty um you know I still have a ways to go plus I'm doing the quests that I didn't do last time around I thought major comprehensive name playthrough ko when I did the cyberpunk years ago but um apparently a daming mga quests na you know outside of the phantom liberty phantom liberty expansion that's true and um uh gamers nexus in particular was very vocal about that but uh h1 that was a really promising itx ksana Robert from youtube can a single 1600 watt platinum psu run to 4090s with an r9 uh or i9 cpu you know when I first saw the question like 1600 watts no problem I was like ooh 240 90s plus the top tier cpu ah this is a very niche question I would be a little concerned but just because I assume if you're gonna run that hardware you're gonna run it full bore like you're gonna like balls to the wall you know todo na tin 100% 110% you know in those kind of situations you do want a little head room or you know a little allowance in the power supply um you know it is a platinum it is 1600 watts pero I would be a little concerned um me you know I'd prefer like maybe a 2000 watt psu for that if you could find it so not saying that it wouldn't run but like for my peace of mind if I were doing that hardware plus I'm assuming ah that you're gonna run it full bore um 2000 watts might be a more comfortable uh more comfortable watt capacity so uplucky bear vlogs and kung hey fachoy to our fieldtry listeners um yeah chahapi chinese new year my wife is actually fieldtry so I am 100% not chinese and she is 100% chinese so um I over the years I have um it's interesting for me to learn like other cultures and traditions and um yeah it's been interesting and also like you know occasional chinese words affordable a good but affordable aio choose deep cool um they have a the L the LT series is kind of like their higher end but the LE LS series also pretty good um personally for me um I'm not using one of their aios right at the moment but I'm using one of their coolers for my ryzen 9 5900x the ak620 digital and it is smooth sailing uh two points about deep cool number one we've carried them for a long time over multiple models they're a very reliable manufacturer very reliable brand um okay let me just I think we're done with kind of moving around let me just turn off the this one because I want to preserve some battery for the trip home so I'm gonna turn that off and turn you off okay let me check uh okay what I'm doing like these housekeeping things let me play the ad again uh apologies but I will get back to you guys after we make some money the youtube channel has actually been very positive um it's been really helpful for the shop 11 activation pose legit safe at pinakamura madadilo mo order hanabi ang latest version na gusto mo piliin ang preferred paypen friend mo wala pang 5 minutes na sizigit na para sa windows mo marami na kaming na tulungan daddy 7 depart ako but now I'm family love

activated na yung windows ko kaya ako naghanap ka ng legit mura at original software check out cdkoffer.com check out cdkoffer.com so to answer the question which good budget AIO to get I really recommend deep cool they are not there are cheaper brands in the market for example e-cooling pero in terms of value for money and reliability it's really I have nothing to say but good things about deep cool we've carried them for years starting when we were in giho and then carrying over to where we are now very reliable brand for cases even for power supplies for some of their models and for cooling I put my money where my mouth is currently my cooler is from deep cool although it is an air cooler and all of that being said I built up deep cool some people in chat already know this but the first week of march I will be gone I'll be in China because deep cool invited me to tour their factory so march 4th to 8th I will be in China courtesy of deep cool but that trip has no bearing on my advice that they are really a good brand because I've been saying it for years you can go back to our reviews you can go back to previous live streams deep cool for me is a very good brand and affordable plus very accessible we have some brands we see something but not available to us available to states not the case with deep cool basically anything deep cool comes up with we can get here in the Philippines so affordability liability and accessibility all of those things hats off to deep cool this is a cooler master mh670 I plugged it also at the start of the stream we still have 2 available in the shop so we do have audio quality is very good this is my primary headset both for consuming media like watching youtube or watching movies or episodes as well as I don't really use the mic a lot only when I need to move around usually when I stream from the house I use an Elgato wave 1 so the first version I think it would be up to wave 3 now overall the quality is very good because it's very cheap this is not a new model the model is around 2-3 years old so you can get it at a very reasonable price for the quality I really like it and one other thing that a lot of people that I feel doesn't get a lot of mention but I find super useful is this thing so I'm using my laptop to stream this is the dongle this is the dongle that connects the mh670 to the computer you notice the green light when it is connected properly there's a green light and when it's not there's a red light sounds super useful sounds like a super simple thing but it's super useful when I just want to make sure na tama yung pag-a-connect ng headset I don't need to do anything else I just glance at my desktop I'm seated I just glance to my tower and I can see the green light everything is AOK super useful super simple and one last thing I like about the mh670 again not a plug you can get it from anywhere you can get it from amazon I just really quality hardware it's that when you cut off for whatever reason you're wireless you're moving around and you move away from the range of the bluetooth it will automatically revert back to speakers automatically so some of the headsets I've tried you need to manually go to windows but it's on the fly kind of thing for whatever reason it'll automatically shift the speakers right away and that automatic shifting that is not common and that's one thing I really like about this na it's kinda adaptable it's smart when for whatever reason the headsets are out it automatically shifts back to your speakers and again like super simple but super useful so mh670 subgamer zone you know I'm not an apple fan I really dislike their oh look at me I'm apple I'm better than everybody else and I charge like I'm gonna I think it's a more colorful way to say it it's the morning so it's gonna keep the language like chill the apple really charges a lot you're paying an apple premium for all of their products so I'm not a big apple fan but all of that aside I would love it is it looks like it's very interesting um I think that's the way forward for mainstream AR instead of VR so you can really you can still see your environment you're not completely cocooned or enclosed in a virtual setting the Oculus once so that you know originating with the Oculus and then Facebook bought them eventually rebranded it to the quest line um I think I think the vision pro has a good chance of becoming the first mainstream VR headset and don't get me wrong like I don't look down on VR headsets like I am a kid of the 80s right so when you say VR it's like oh cyberpunk futuristic I bought an HTC Vive um so one of the first like modern gaming headsets and then I was running around my room bumping into walls slashing the swords and things like that virtually so I'm a big fan of VR but I think for the mainstream this kind of AR approach plus it's not just AR but apple really figured out a way to make things intuitive so the way you touch icons you can see the icons and then you just kind of like go like this with your hand so it tracks where your hand is without having to use a to hold a controller so you know a lot of engineering went into figuring out how to make this more intuitive I've seen more mainstream reviews complaining like you know you still look kind of dorky it looks like you have a ski mask on and things like that but even the way it's put on and the way you know it snugly fits on you um is a lot better than the old straps and things so conclusion I generally do not like apple but I think they really are consumer magic on the Vision Pro yes it's expensive but I think you do what you get what you pay for it's like when you first paid $500 $600 for an iPad um you know I remember when the iPads were still new and they were a thing and it seemed very futuristic that yeah you know we had touchscreen phones but the tablet and the larger format just you know inter for media consumption and you know if you're using it to take notes or things like that the larger scale really opened up new possibilities and yeah we've had VR AR headsets before but you know the Vision Pro seems like you know it's a good bet to make the technology mainstream and um I I have saved the YouTube video I haven't started it yet na parang it's a parang behind the scenes on how Apple leadership is super behind the Vision Pro like I think they are identifying it as the next kind of new market that they want to push because you know their old markets are kind of saturated like they made a bundle on the wearables like the their Airpods Airpods are super cheap to make Apple you know crazy markup like na profit margin nila dun but you know the iPhone the market is kind of saturated so they are looking for new markets and I think they're gonna make a big push for the Vision Pro which is good for the consumer eventually prices will go down but um yeah I not an Apple fan but I would love to try out the Vision Pro not so much um I mean you know any um like if if you're um yes okay we do have a video we have a short actually so I have a 3080 that's my primary GPU at length as a 4060 so a 4060 is lower than a 3080 but when I popped it in to my machine so everything completely the same except for the GPU in the Binchie Resolve free version the 4060 even was slightly faster in rendering the exact same video so I think that was a fluke like you know you do a sufficient amount of test overall masubilis paraman yung 3080 because that the GPU is not the primary component you need to worry about for video editing um so like you know if your GPU now is lower than a 4060 you pop in a 4060 for video editing yes things will be slightly faster but I don't think to an appreciable or very uh very noticeable extent um for video editing uh CPU is still king like for video editing yeah you know you get a GPU you get some kind of acceleration but CPU is still a lot more important to your video editing experience especially for me na I don't care so much about the rendering time like I'm going to leave the video rendering it'll be done in 10 20 minutes depending 5 minutes depending on the length of the video and you know that's my time I'm standing up I'm getting a snack I don't worry too much about the long renders for me what's super important for a video editing computer is that the play back is good because that's what you're doing as a video editor you're scrubbing through the raw footage or cutting or putting text or putting clips and things like that it's a real pain in the ass when the play back is low and just very recently so my primary computer my computer at home was a Ryzen 7 3700x with a 3080 that's what I was using for editing very decent the 3700x even now it's still a very decent CPU but yunga with larger files with more layers dun sa timelines ko I just you know it was kind of slow starting to get annoying so over the Christmas last Christmas I upgraded to a Ryzen 9 5900x play back is so much smoother but again you wouldn't recommend that for gaming for gaming you wouldn't get that CPU but you know it's kind of fed up that it's kind of like slow editing process so everything is so much smoother now in terms of editing with the Ryzen 9 5900x so again the GPU hasn't changed but the sobrang unlaki ng difference in movement for my editing workflow so for a video editing primarily a computer that will be used for video editing I always say go long like spend a bit more on the CPU and you can kind of not worry too much about the GPU although I do get in trouble for that advice as I do with a lot of my advice a lot of the things I say aren't mainstream like don't worry too much about bottleneck yes you know 3600MHz DDR4 for a Ryzen AM4 build is completely fine I mean there's a lot of PC advice don't worry too much about future proofing I think future proofing sounds good for marketing but as a strategy how to build a computer it's not very useful there's a lot of mainstream advice that I don't agree with and I often say so on the channel and people often disagree with me and that's completely fine that's what's lovely about the internet you have people sometimes discussing things in a rational manner sometimes they just get a little heated but one thing I did get called in my recent video about 24 built-ins for 2024 they're like oh you know you said about video editing but no I think you still need a big GPU or you know an expensive GPU because I did say that advice that I would prefer to buy a better CPU than a better GPU for video editing I don't agree and I can say so from experience because I did that 3080 4060 experiment I myself use my desktop a lot for video editing and yeah the R9 5900X made a very big difference that's advice folks I recently discovered the fractal torrent love that case it's a massive case but that's a great looking case because to be fair a lot of the a lot of the mesh cases now in the ones with filter and stuff they do become like an air purifier because our air is so dirty in Metro Manila we don't we don't complain about it enough to the relevant authorities and things like that but our air and I hate smoke belchers like whether it's the boss or jeepneys or the ones that don't get you know you think smoke belcher automatically inisip mo jeepney but in my anecdotally feeling ko yung mas grabipan na smoke belcher yung mga armoured cars because the engines are working so hard because the vehicle itself is so heavy notice you're behind an armoured car like 30% of the time 35% they are grab e mag smoke belcher yung mga armoured cars at least mass transportation they are efficient like they are transferring X number of people to another point but in armoured car from a logistic standpoint yes it's important to move cash but they get less of a free pass for me for smoke belching you know their private companies so are naman the transport companies but I would imagine the armoured cars would have a budget to make sure that their vehicles don't smoke belch as compared to the jeepney driver even just like an operator and then he's working for someone who actually owns the jeepney I imagine the margins there are pretty tight so I hate smoking belching in general parang kiling ko ang basto siya it affects everybody and the air quality of air leads to a lot of health issues and the quality of air in metro manila is terrible and one way for PC guys to see that yung mesh dito sa side it becomes an air purifier or even when you're cleaning out your radiator because the fins are so tightly packed to increase the surface area to get better cooling but when you're cleaning you're the radiator of an AIO or even just the tower of an air cooler grab ay yung dust build up it's crazy I worry sometimes when I'm cleaning you're dislodging all of that dust and you're breathing it in even before the whole pandemic when I would clean I would wear a mask because I don't want to be breathing all of those particulates the PM20's yung micro particles particulate matter below nanometers that is death man that is super bad for your health so try to clean in a well ventilated space wear a mask it's better if your computer is in an aircon room minus not my home office so yeah plus my case is a Thermal Take Core P3 yung open test bench type I don't even put the tempered glass panel so it's like completely open so yeah my stuff does get dusty quite a lot and it just really brings home the point na sobrang dominong hangin natin dito sa Metro Manila yes well the top of line brand is usually PC we do sell pro link in the shop which is a more budget alternative maganda pa rin yung performance but not gonna lie we've had occasional RMA customers coming back they bought a UPS na pro link they sent it back not concerning like not in numbers that we would be concerned about so we still carry it in the shop but pro link is that kinda like step down like yung parang mid level brand na maganda yung performance reliable pero yung maganda sa supplier namin very easy to get RMA so none of our customers have issues with that but usually AP APS APS? APC ba? we used to carry them before but then they changed distributor here and I kinda can't we don't get a lot of them anymore in the shop but pro link would be good and usually like the general advice we do have a video on it like how to choose a UPS like how much VA capacity when you talk about PSUs, you talk about wattage when you talk about UPS uninterrupted power supply you talk about VA but it's not a one is the one like you think oh 1300 VA sa bat na yung sorry like 1000 VA UPS sa bat na yung sa 1000 watt PSU that's actually not the case number one VA roughly it's like 60% so 1000 VA would be good for like a 600 watt system and number two actually hindi linear yung pag-discharge nung battery without the technical jargon that means that it's very hard to come up with a rough estimate on how long it can run a system because at one time it might be able to handle a 500 watt system for 3 minutes at another time it could handle a 700 watt system for 2 minutes since hindi linear yung discharge from the UPS battery it's very hard to come up with an estimate of how long it will take of how long you can run something because even if you have the exact same hardware you do the test multiple times paibay ba yung time hindi linear yung discharge from the battery and we did that one thing I'm very proud of here at the channel we actually do the things that we say we do so we tested the VA thing I tested it personally we had a bunch of different UPS all from pro link and you can really see nga na non-linear yung iba mas matagal yung iba mas mahaba mas matagal mas may same time that they are able to and that's like even for top models say 2000 VA or something so what you want is a decent headroom so even if it's on the shorter if the katao and you get a brown out and for whatever reason you're on the shorter end of the expected time that you can run a computer the UPS kasi for is like 40 seconds to save everything and shut down properly so the sweet spot I recall is around 1300 VA but again it depends like how many monitors you're running what system you're running, things like that but yeah it's a really educational video I was very proud of that video and relevant even up to now I agree paul I also live in a space where you can often see ice cream you can often hear ice cream being sold outside na may nagtitin na nung ice cream nung mga prutas nang hiyari sa labas and dog barks and things like that although like yes it depends also on the microphone but it also depends on the the program that you're running like if you're running in OBS you can set up filters naman but this is also a pretty good AI technology that filters out a lot of the stuff automatically we've tried that also in the shop that's pretty good so Alrin dual monitor and ultra wide na nagtibuso ko ko ano bibilin ko if you're more of a gamer I would choose the ultra wide immersive experience bigger but if you use the computer primarily for let me just sit down on the galax thing also we got this for got this for review ay long ah kita ba just orient the camera down yes are not standing all the time oh too much down naman what a chill strafe alright like this framing is not idea like I would want the camera a bit higher here so if you're a gamer ultra wide for me the immersion is better you wouldn't want to play the game over two screens it's technically possible but you just don't want to do that so primarily for gaming I would get the ultra wide if primarily for work oh dual screen, dual screen is good multiple monitors makes everything so much easier so if for productivity get dual screen, if for gaming get it ultra wide if you're not sure like you do both on the same computer I would get it ultra wide because you can still kind of chop up the screen and get the kind of multiple monitor effect on the ultra wide it won't be iba pa rin if you have like dual screen and you can like just chat or stock quotes so for pure productivity I would still choose a dual monitor setup over an ultra wide also because you're spreading out your points of failure if the ultra wide fails you're out of a monitor if one of the monitors fails at least you can still use one because you still have one left while you get a replacement but if it's a mixed use kind of thing I'd go with the ultra wide because it is more versatile you know your gaming sessions will be great and you can still kind of get the productivity boost that you would get from a dual monitor setup because you can kind of chop up the screen for an ultra wide with an ultra wide alright next chat that's the thing alright so I do got to get back to my work editing a video which would come out tomorrow so youtube members will see tonight B3 worth it 5700x to 5700x3d tough call better sound like if you're buying a new rig and it's for gaming like I would say spend the extra to get the 5700x3d if for gaming oh shoot and apparently my laptop is also about to run out of battery alright so I got to wrap this up short answers na lang personally I would not get it 5700x3d if you already have a 5700x get na lang a faster gpu if that's your concern for gaming subarvic okay I got to be super fast because my laptop also wants to dine na so customer has a 5700x 4070 possible po ba na bottleneck kasi your pc should run that if there is a bottleneck it might be a bottleneck but your pc should be able to run that without any frame drops so I would look elsewhere maybe a driver, I don't know frame drops are annoying, maybe look at the settings but I would not even if there is a bottleneck I don't think that's the issue why you're getting frame drops that's a pretty old game and it's a game that doesn't use a lot of hardware you don't need a lot of hardware to push good graphics on that one try running it on I don't know what resolution you're playing at try running it at 1440p the 4070 does better is more optimized for 2k gaming and I mean 2k the resolution not 2k the game we have very good experience with mp33 that said mas matunog yung xpg like a lot of like a lot of enthusiasts would say go for the xpg just because they've heard more about it and they know it's like performance personally for me like I use an mp33 not a pro but just a regular mp33 in my primary rig and it's great good performance, quality, good price so like personally for me I would choose the mp33 just because I'm very comfortable with team group as a brand but the more mainstream advice would be to take the xpg the a data mas sikat siya on the market so basically my answer is a question which boils down to who do you trust more me or the mainstream not really particularly good advice but I'm just saying if it were me I would get the team group just because team group has built in allowance now with me they have built up goodwill with me already we're working on it I think the kids still rockin the programmer want to do something like that again not at the moment Janelle Ramos Good morning Tracy Neil Tracy from YouTube AM4 AM5 new build depends on the budget if budget is not a problem I would go now with AM5 I'm thinking maybe 100 to 150k budget so medyo higher end computers but if it's
