Thanks for joining me live from Hardware Sugar. Unfortunately, we're having technical problems again. I always joke that whatever there's a stream, something will always go wrong. I'm not connected to YouTube for some reason. You'll also notice the chat usually we have in the upper right portion of the screen. It's missing, and again, I have no idea what's going on since I haven't changed any settings. Although the indicator in OBS is also telling me that the connection is quite bad, so it will probably be choppy. I guess things to note, because usually I don't stream on a Saturday, but it turns out I decided to stream today from the shop because our usual staff, Jay, is on leave. So I took a shift in the shop this morning and then I figured since I was here, might as well do live from Hardware Sugar. So we'll just upload this later on to YouTube. Excuse me. Since apparently it's not playing nice currently. So yeah, we're only streaming live to Facebook. Thanks for joining me on this Saturday afternoon. I hope you had a good lunch. I will eat once the stream is done. First, we'll talk about Noctua and their air coolers. We actually got this one quite recently in stock, like yesterday, I think. The Noctua NHL9A AM4. So it's one of those slim coolers primarily for ITX builds and I know at least one member of the audience is very into ITX builds. So it is quite small. We're not doing a proper unboxing of this one, but let's look at the crazy quality on this Noctua. I mean everything is so nicely presented. So there's the foam thing and it's not the soft foam. It's like the hard foam, no-nonsense foam. The NTH1, everybody's favorite. Then the Noctua badge, again because Noctua is Noctua, they haven't changed this in years. I have a cooler from five or six years ago. It's the exact same badge. Even on camera you can see just how small this thing is. The cooler is. And then you have the screws in place and things like that. So quite, again, very quality. Very quality look to the Noctua. It's like it ended up unboxing it na din. But again, you can see it's quite tiny. Very small profile, low profile CPU cooler. Again, usually for ITX or SFF builds, small form factor builds which are becoming quite popular nowadays. So this is just Verizon though because it's the AM4 version. So that is one of the coolers we have in stock. But Noctua, we reached out to them and they were like, oh, can you send us something to review because we really like Noctua. And they were like, yeah, sure. So they sent us the Nu12S Redux. For those of you wondering, the Redux actually is their budget line. We used to sell Redux, but I had no idea what the difference between the Redux and the normal line was. So just chatting with the Noctua guy who handled our request, he was like, yeah, the Redux actually, we position it or we market it towards the more budget-oriented consumers or the value-oriented market. And the Redux comes in gray. So the Noctua has the usual Noctua Red. Although you'll notice that this one is in the chromax black which everybody went agog for after. Like, oh my God, Noctua has something in black now. It's kind of ridiculous. You can see how cultish people become about Noctua. It became such a big deal when they came out with this chromax black version. The Redux, the gray version, is their budget line. And it comes in gray. To be honest, they have a very good description on their site. Like, what the difference is between the regular Nu12S and the Redux version. I haven't read it yet, but we're gonna be reviewing this cooler. But I thought it'd be nice to unbox it on air. I have not... Yeah, I haven't opened this thing. So this came from Noctua in Taiwan. Super, actually, very easy guys to talk to. They were like, yeah, sure, we'll send you something to review. Like, yay. So here we go. So again, the Redux is gray and you can see the fan peeking out already. Let me just... This is actually my first unboxing live, I think. I mean, like, on air. Fritz, what's up? Yeah, di pa nakalive sa YouTube. I know, I have no idea what's going on. Error talaga sa YouTube, but we will... What I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna re-upload it. So I'm gonna upload it sa video later on para di ako sisihin ni... ni-sponsored na, ay, you know, you know, we have a... you said you'd livestream and you didn't. But I'll upload it later as a video. And indeed, Noctua is live. So, actually it looks very similar to the regular NHU12S. So it's, again, the S is for the... the S is their variant so that you don't need to worry about RAM clearance issues. It's kinda like their off-center... off-center variant. Yeah, so, as usual, the fan clips to... bring it down. So you have the usual fan clips to clip it onto the cooling tower or the heat sink proper. It has redux on the... let me bring that in closer. It has redux on the CPU tower and then the fan is redux gray. It comes with... Does it come with pre-applied thermal paste? Let me get the plastic off. It does. It comes with pre-applied thermal paste. And a nice hexagon formation. In contrast to the NHL9A which came with a tube of NTH1. Let me see if Noctua... Okay, let's not smear the thermal paste. So I'm gonna flip the cooler. The NHL9A came with a tube of NTH1. So let's see if Noctua is equally You can kind of feel actually that even the packaging of the redux is as lux or as premium as the Chromax Black we opened up a little while ago. So you got the usual screws and things. It doesn't come with the... This is the back plate. It does not indeed come with NTH1... tube of NTH1. So one way that Noctua is cutting back. Although it has a very pretty pre-applied hexagonal thermal paste on the on the CPU block itself. But, ay, fricker. Just as I say, don't smear the... I put the I put the plastic protective cover on backwards. I smeared a little bit. Sorry Noctua. Let me just use the cardboard to kind of wipe it off so it won't... Just a very little bit. Yeah, so Sorry, I... That wasn't particularly exciting. Although I was... Again, this is my first time to... Even the kind of pads that they give are the redux gray. Although they do come also with the black. Yes, so this is my first live unboxing. Although I was telling some people I don't really... Still not... Still not streaming to YouTube for some reason. Actually, I've had this problem before in the shop. Just my setup in the shop like last December. It started happening December or November. For some reason it just wouldn't stream to YouTube. And I thought I solved the problem by disconnecting my re-stream account and then reconnecting. But I tried that a while ago and it still doesn't want to connect to YouTube. And in my home setup where I usually stream like media diet and pwede magtanong for some reason it kind of cuts out during chat. I've noticed that if I use the re-stream chat app it cuts out. The stream suddenly dies. I thought it was a firewall issue so I turned off all my firewalls and it's still happening. So everywhere I stream from the shop or from the house something always happens. And you can tell I'm not really good because didn't get it all the way in. Fortunately, again this is a review copy so we do get to keep this one. I don't need to send it back to Noctua in in a not nicely packed state. Noctua also sent their add-on. So you notice the NH-212S only came with top Chris Mendoza. You got him quite quickly. Chris actually was in the shop a while ago and he bought the 6TB hard drive. So Noctua, you notice the NH-212S Redux and the regular version only comes with one fan but Noctua was also kind enough to send their upgrade or basically their add-on fan which you will clip you clip it on to the back of the NH-212S so again Redux gray and actually when we do test the NH-212S we'll do it like with the regular one fan configuration so you have the two fan clips and when we put this add-on in like how much performance is this little fan add or you know contribute to the performance of the cooler I am curious because yes of course two is better than one but at the same time do you really need it like how much does it really add so the usual adapters three pin, four pin and then oh at least this one comes with the vibration things that you put in the corner so to deaden the sound although I've never had a problem really with Noctua in terms of sound as well they seem you know they're very they're not be quiet I mean the brand but they're quite silent I've never had any issues with Noctua in terms of noise I had from another brand before is this is this bent out of shape so I guess it's yeah then they clip I actually had another not from Noctua but another brand before I had a headache because some of these fan clips were missing I'll neglect to name the brand so it was a real headache and it's one of those things like you don't really think about it but a lot of logistics have to go into making sure each product has these little itsy bitsy things oh this particular item needs to have these two fan clips these three adapters and things like that and mistakes happen whether it's on the assembly line it's automated or if it is manually done I don't know how Noctua does their assembly line although whoopsie again little clip just like flew out of there yeah so we sometimes get that for cases and items where a lot of it poot siya can't can't get it back in siya saan gos actually I'm quite terrible at like so we get items and then I have to open them up and then these whoever designs these packaging like their origami masters or something it's really difficult to get them back into the proper position okay there we go I don't know my spatial reasoning skills so just shot and getting old but it's really quite difficult to get it as nicely back in as when you found it for example like this NHQ12S I can't even get the kind of bulging force it down but this one worked out well so how much you NHQ12S redux I don't know actually I haven't seen this locally yet I'd have to ask our Noctua supplier but what we do have in stock is so we got a bunch of Noctua's new stock so we have the U12S in chromax black so not the redux version we have the regular U12S in the Noctua red or brown version and of course the newest cooler I think from Noctua is the NHQ12A this is particular interesting we started selling this even pre-pandemic so I guess it's not that new but yung makadadito the performance is it competes with the 140mm coolers like the Noctua NH-D15 but the package is smaller it's 140mm performance in 120mm size so actually quite impressive this NHQ12A speaking of impressive just to transition from Noctua Deepcool sent us an AS500 plus for review and I super liked it so much both the aesthetic and the cooling performance is amazing actually I'll save the details for the review but I was quite impressed and Deepcool is not I mean Deepcool is a good brand we carry a lot of it but it doesn't have the same halo effect when you hear Noctua quality it has that halo branding around it Deepcool doesn't have that yet but this AS500 plus really packs a punch it's cheaper than the other brands and yet it delivers the same performance so I'll get into the performance specs in the formal review at the bottom line I liked it so much that I ended up buying for the shop which I don't know I mean it's kind of atypical or it's kind of uncommon that we have there's a tech YouTuber and they also own a shop so Leah Magnae needed to make an FB account just to watch his live stream thank you for going through the trouble it will be up on YouTube I'll upload it later but thank you for going through the trouble it's kind of uncommon for a tech YouTuber to also be a shop and we did start out as a shop before we started uploading to YouTube and so I wonder how the brands look at us they sent it to us for review but at the same time it's double benefit if we like it a lot we'll buy it and we'll stock it in store so there's kind of like a double exposure to stuff to hardware sugar of course other local shops do have YouTube channels I follow them for research, I just want to see what they do but to be honest either it's so corporate na parang it's very bland or they don't have any so I think not to toot our own horns but hardware sugar keeps it real in the sense that it's really me, it's really Rafael you can see our friends, it's really the tech stuff it's really who you see on the YouTube it's really who you'll see in the shop and our content is also not corporate we swear very lightly on camera and if you watch some of our other videos actually we have an NSFW not safe for work video coming out hopefully next week because me and Rafael aren't as tight-assed if you will, we're not as bothered by having to be super polite and things like that so you'll notice the Facebook posts, the YouTube videos they can have personality, they're not bland so I think we're really the only local shop that has something along those lines Ron Stop, good afternoon Do you think fan cooler manufacturers like Noctua probably exhausted all possible cooling performance of fans? That's a good question, actually I was reading a review or an interview rather with Noctua and they were I forget the context of the review like how old it was, maybe in the past two years but basically Noctua was saying that we haven't come out with an NHD16, so the NHD15 is their big boy cooler top-of-the-line performance thing because to be honest they haven't found a way to top its performance although the NHU12A is a step in the right direction yung other, they were able to get basically the same level of performance into a smaller package but can the challenge for them, as you pointed out in your question is yes, have you reached the point where all of the design tricks have been discovered, all of the materials that you can use for mass produced consumer level product have been tried and that is why the NHD15 is quite old I forget when it came out but it's not a new product but they haven't come out with a D16 because yung other they haven't found a way to make to surpass the performance of the D15 and it's to the credit of Noctua that they just didn't repackage the thing, I mean we all know brands or manufacturers that don't really add anything but they feel they need to come out with a new product every year so they can repackage it a little they add a little RGB this is especially prevalent in the telephone space, I mean sometimes yes of course the screen dramatically improves and things like that but there are some years where there isn't really a lot of performance increase but the brands have to come out with their once a year product refresh so it is very minimal there's very little difference and if you follow the videos you know I'm not I'm kind of anti apple I don't like I don't really have a lot of apple products although this particular phone right now I'm using is an apple but I stole it from my wife apple is guilty of that some of their refresh refresh versions over the years there isn't much of a change one example would be the Siri when Siri came out I think that's the iPhone 6S and I think the S stood for Siri that's the Siri version the supermarket nila na wow wow it's like this AI can understand you and you talk to Siri and things like that when actually you know I don't think there was any particularly big hardware leap and Siri they just bought that technology they bought the company that was developing Siri then they packaged it into they baked it into apple products so I mean you know it's like was there really a need to come out with the iPhone 6S but yeah you know a lot of people bought it so on that respect apple is tops apple is tops and convincing people that they should buy stuff but to go back to Noctua it is to the credit of the Noctua team that they haven't gone down that route that oh let's issue the nhd 15 in evergreen and sky blue stuff or RGB I mean Noctua is Noctua because they care about performance and they care about quality and not on pushing these unnecessary product refreshes when they when they don't need to just to answer the question that AS500 plus actually is an example that there is still that innovation is still possible they tailored it you get a particularly good performance increase for Ryzen chips because the way the Ryzen chips are structured I'm not an electrical engineer but I was researching for the review where the heat comes from the Ryzen chip the the AS500 plus kind of crisscrossed a lot of tubes or not wires tubes or basically the plumbing of the cooler does better with the Ryzen because it was specifically designed with the Ryzen in mind let's say this is the CPU chip and so let's say this square is the CPU chip and for whatever the way Ryzen is engineered let's say uminit siya dito on top so the AS500 plus was specifically designed to have heat capture points at the specific spot or you know where the heat can more readily transfer where it's the hottest and that's why it has such good performance in such a slim package it has the same performance as the big boys but it's profile is much smaller although it is as tall as the big boys you know we'll get into that into their view um so short answer after we did the long answer yes it is still possible to have performance gains in good old fashioned air coolers Deepcool was able to do that because of the way they designed I think basically it's the heat transfer points again I'm over simplifying but they specifically chose the heat transfer points where the Ryzen gets the hottest so that it's able to dump that heat quickly to the CPU tower and in turn the tower radiated out because it's only a 5 heat pipe design actually the AS500 plus um but because the heat pipes are strategically placed it's able to shunt a lot of the air um so yeah it is still possible and uh yeah I was excited to try that out with the Deepcool AS500 plus um yes but those are our are our Noctua coolers on stock and thank you again to Noctua for sending the redogs love Noctua I said in my facebook post that I have to stop being such a fanboy like I'll turn off fanboy mode when I do the review but I mean really it's Noctua right I mean basically you can't go wrong talaga I mean personal experience any review that I've seen we do have the master air cooler master is also a good option um a bit cheaper than Noctua and of course the German cousin or the Austrian I think they're both Austrian cousin of Noctua SB Quiet also a renowned brand and we have their big boy cooler the dark rock pro 4 one of the best sellers in the shop we sell it quite often and it sells out quite often um if you've been following our facebook we you know that we had that intel build that initially it had a stock cooler and it was hitting like 100 on load but with the p quiet dark rock pro 4 I think the owner sent me stats it was like um it it dramatically like 40 degrees or something on load it's only hitting 60 or 62 now which is amazing I mean even for the dark rock pro 4 so it is a big boy cooler but you can really see the performance gains um with it why don't we have the nhd 15 since we've been talking about it and it is the counter it is the rival to the d rp4 because our supplier doesn't have um he got the supplier was able to restock us with these these uh models which we usually carry pero yung yaw the nhd 15 which we also usually carry um wala we didn't have so even price price sorry um stock shortages even for less sexy products like air coolers fritz is asking do I prefer air coolers or aios um really depends like I it really depends on the build I've some builds I've suggested aios some builds I have suggested coolers my personal rig is still using an air cooler but that was because it was constructed before aios were around um I do like aios to be honest I love their aesthetic um naging usong ngayon pero metyo pricey parin may lcd display um again our the first version I saw of that was the rog and then ngxt has a version and now the ngxt version is super popular um again to deep cool we are reviewing they also sent over the castle 240x ARGB version you'll notice I think it's being seen on camera yeah you there's like a may conting infinity effect like this deep cool logo in front and then you can see it also in the back I like yes so I like the aesthetic of aios um but they are usually more expensive than they remind of scuba regulator and I used to dive um I used to dive you know a couple of years back and I do miss diving um for those of you who are divers I am advanced so you we can go deeper um and I want to palawan to dive dun sa reks um it's amazing how preserved it is anyway um so the deep cool sorry the cpu blocks of aios always remind me of the scuba regulator um to answer the question it really depends on the build um budget is a consideration then I would suggest air coolers they actually perform better on the average than aios for a much cheaper price but you know if you want a little something something you know a bit to make your build distinctive then aios are the way to go yunya and you can find some reasonably priced naman I would not call nzxt reasonably priced even though we carry a lot of them um and they are quite popular so yeah the z63 the z series are the ones with the lcd display um for my own personal build like when I finally do get to buy a new build um yeah I would consider aio actually um my my current thinking is like I want a core p3 which is the thermal take open air case and that that would look good with an aio ah yes well you can't get rid of the too long troops that go from the cpu block to the rad I mean that's just the way it goes I guess you know with a custom liquid cooling set up you could um I mean you do still need tubes obviously to carry the liquid from the rad to the cpu block but you can design them nicely and usually they're clear so you can see the fluid that's part of the appeal of a custom setup sa aio kasi or all-in-one parang preset na siya you really can't have that those transparent tubes and it's true they do get in the way sometimes although the thing with air coolers a lot of people don't kind of find the aesthetic blocky especially if you get it with a big boy cooler you're basically just sticking that thing in there um so there's not it's not much for aesthetics um Ron do we still carry internal dvd drives no we do not have any optical drives actually the shop turns three years this july and looking back we've never carried optical drives I might have gotten one or two a special custom orders for a customer like for an office build and things like that but even finding cases nowadays that still have odd or that still have room for odd optical disk drives it's quite rare so and yeah we've never carried them in shop so I'll just bring you around to the builds that we have on hand actually there were four here but um the fourth one got picked up it was a white mac cube 310p so deep cool case that particular build was with us for a long time the customer bought the initial parts in march and only finished the build only finished the build now and the customer asked us they only finished it yesterday like buying the stuff can we get it now can we get it now so we actually rushed the build rushed in the sense that we prioritized the build and it was picked up today not yesterday but it was ready yesterday so we really tried to accommodate our customers as much as possible this guys actually not a build these are returning pc because it's crashing for some reason we don't know it's getting a lot of blue screens of death so we're gonna do our usual diagnostics to see what's wrong it's a cooler master case I think it's a mb510 with the three ARGB fans good looking case, good looking ventilation you can see that there's a mesh front panel with side mesh grills as well usual dust filter on top and the tg is quite nice it's basically world to world but maybe I should have separated this guy because whatever virus he has my transfer to the new pc but that's I kid I really have to stop making jokes like that sometimes in the facebook posts I say that oh it's at the RGB to blue so mas malamig na siya ngayon and then some people do ask now why that is and I I'm joking just like I was joking I need to separate this because whatever if it has a virus it might transfer to the other guys computer viruses don't work like that but maybe I should stop making jokes like that because some people do get confused so this guy you've seen before actually might have been featured in the previous live from the shop this is a thermal take h300 snow version and this build has been done for a long time but it was and yeah we have the no wonder we only have one of the white corsair vengeance ito pa na gamit yung isa this rig is for a returning customer he bought two computers for his two sons last year he's an OFW and now this is for his daughter but this has been finished for a long time and actually the final cost has not been paid yet but we were like it's okay we trust you we know you're an upstanding kind of guy so we assembled it and then even though he told us that his wife could only come pick up the PC after MECQ it was like six weeks, two months ago but yeah, since we opened the parts and installed them it's not a brand new so we didn't sell at the regular price just in case for whatever reason the customer decided to back out but we were like yeah we trust you and we know you're a stand up guy but yeah since MECQ ends today I think officially or yeah officially ended mid night last night or whatever but now we're under GCQ plus or whatever against hard to keep track anymore but yeah this baby should be going home soon to its new owner and a lot of our customers do this the build I mentioned previously they buy parts they have it stockpiled with us and then once everything is ready we build and sometimes it's months that we were carrying the item in stock the items in stock before the build actually gets to the owner this guy is completely finished except for the graphics card because he is waiting for a 3000 series card and again he's paid down payment this isn't fully finished yet but we said what the heck let's build it na so we do actually have some GPUs in stock the 6700 XT these are the only GPUs we have left it's crazy you know of course if you're into PC it's really difficult to keep part there's a GPU shortage and everything but it's really crazy at our end I jump through all these kind of hoops to get graphics cards and they just sell out and it's really nakakapagod, it's really tiring sometimes but hopefully we'll be getting more 3000 series next week and this build is slated to get one of those guys what's interesting about this build is this is the H510 Elite case also from NZXT very popular case because this front this front part the front the front face is so you can see the 140mm AR2 RGB fan so very quite a looker of a case although the cooling is not so good because basically where does the air enter this is why mesh front is preferred with the mesh side grills even the TT has intake on one side but the H510 Elite is kind of infamous for not having good airflow but it's such a good looking case and the people who have bought it have not complained again computer parts are designed to tolerate high temperatures for sustained periods and a lot of the enthusiasts of course want to keep the rigs as cool as possible but again it's a trade off if you get pleasure from the aesthetics and I do I like my PCs especially for my personal use it is a fair trade off for some people na it does look quite good even if it gets a little toasty inside and you'll notice what we did here this is actually I wouldn't say a hack but it's quite difficult to get the radiator here this is a 240mm sorry 280mm rad this is the LCD display it's very difficult to get the rad in here and this is the only place to mount the radiator this is no space on top or in the rear and we do have a video we've done this before for other builds we do have a video about it and a lot of people ask how do we get the radiator on the front and again a lot of people you have to remove the fans of the radiator so the intake fans basically are also tasked with drawing air from the outside and pushing the air through the rad again this impacts performance but again we've done it before the PC is still running along fine so again it's a trade off I mean you want an AIO you want the H510 Elite and you want an AIO yes we can do both of these things but it does come at you have to trade off in another area but again it's not we've oh and the GPU needs to be kind of short one thing these the new GPUs are kind of like long so we need to make sure that it's right I mean like so but I wonder how oh well it really can't be that long the GPU because it has this the NZXT kind of bar like thing although this is also removable it will really depend on what the GPU we get so it is quite a looker though at H510 Elite and yes it is quite popular a lot of people do like it oh special shout out to the Amaran 200D and I love that light really super bright I think it's only at 25% doing a lot really helping the really helping the lighting in our videos if it's a software issue do you still support that? we'll do the usual things like we'll offer to reinstall windows and things like that if it's a driver issue we'll try to update the drivers or find the stable driver version but at it only goes if there's not much we can do after that if let's say your RGB software you're using ASUS or MSI Mystic Light for some reason for whatever reason it's not working with your RGB and its software there's really not much we can do at that point kasi nasa coding na yan or kung baga program so as much as possible we still do help with software primarily also to help isolate whether it's a hardware problem which we can fix by sending back to our suppliers or if it's a software thing we do still try to work the problem quite often especially for non-technical users they don't make that distinction they just know that their PC is not working that they bought it from hardware sugar and that hardware sugar should fix it so we do try to fix it even if it is a software problem and if we run out of we run out of tricks in our bag that's when we say well you know it's sorry it's really not covered under the warranty the hardware itself is fine hopefully a driver will come around or you know windows will update or things like that but yeah we try as much as possible within limits so actually this is very short usually I stream for like an hour 30 although that's all I had for today we do have ballistics RAM now I do like Crucial one of the SSDs in my rig is a Crucial it's fine for years MX500 we do have that one now oh this is a 2 terabyte so yeah we have the 2 terabyte MX we had other Crucial SSDs I don't know where they went hold out nabak gotta look into that yeah but we do have the Crucial ballistics RAM now Crucial is quite good for memory and it's a good brand to you know it's not as expensive as Corsair or things like that or on the SSD and it's not as expensive as Samsung but they're very reliable I'm quite happy with my Crucial SSD these got back into stock although we've put them on Lazada and Shopee also everybody's favorite and TH1 also back in stock these things these things never go out of style we're always restocking them, they're always selling out we always try to restock and then suddenly they're out of stock and we need to wait several months but yeah now they're back in stock oh these guys also back in stock this guy not back in stock but we keep ASUS has sent us some stuff over the three years or so so there's a cap, there's a lanyard we kind of have a mini ROG shrine this one actually I forget the model but this is an ROG pre-built and it's from one of our youtube members so he saw that we like to decorate the shop we also have a towel and an ROG towel which we have it displaying outside so this one he went to the shop and he saw that we like to display things sorry I forget the model of this one but then oh here we go, this is the great the GR8 ASUS ROG he's like you know I have a desktop that's not working anymore but I know that you like to display so do you want to have it for the shop it actually is quite a very interesting case for lack of, it doesn't work anymore so I haven't seen it turned on we like to do those little things again yun nga it's some a lot of the shops don't really care about the aesthetic or one of the things we didn't like about the local shops is that yun nga parang takatambak lang lahat although as I say that hardware sugar has really kind of outgrown this space it was like huge and we're like wow but as our inventory grows we've had to become sort of like the other shops also na nakatambak na lang which I actually do not like this should all be open so we are thinking about either moving or tearing down this wall this wall in front of you there's a unit right behind it it's currently unoccupied so we're wondering if we should just bite the bullet and take up the whole ground floor basically of the building that we're in so we can tear down this wall and it'll connect to the unit in the back um yeah there in the back so that is one option or well because a lot of businesses have gone out of business it's really a sad sight to see and there are a lot of vacancies in the area so we're scouting around to see if we can get a bigger place for cheaper but that would mean giving up this particular space or you know moving out um it has been a good space um I was super happy when we first got here you notice anything out we have the custom custom this table let me get the other camera both of these tables are custom that table and that table these shelves all wooden all custom those into the new shop if ever removed the hardware sugar sign is actually from our first shop at first it was outdoors but when we moved to this new place we put it indoors since wala namang wala masyadong frontage yung shop ngayon but yeah we're gonna keep that sign it's a nice reminder of the old place where we first started which was super small yeah I know um you know a lot of the shops do that para nakatambak lang and they actually make the that's how you know where to pass because they form their own alleyways but I've never liked it it seems so messy so yeah we really need to maybe move to a bigger spot na talaga because I don't like I want it to be clean and neat yes there is a distributor for Crucial here the brand is not so popular but yeah there is a local distributor and we do carry them sometimes the one terabyte Sata SSD Soria from Facebook yes we do have it's on the site you can look it up on the site sorry I can't remember now and I think we have a bunch of different brands na SSD, 1TB, Sata so best to check on the site Dante for some reason I have no idea but it's my streams messed up again um it won't stream from to youtube so I'm just gonna download this later on from our from restream and then upload it to youtube as a video um but it's kinda annoying I don't know this was happening to me last year and I thought I licked the problem but apparently hindi yon so before I go I'm gonna say thank you to Canon we have like we have zero experience with cameras and things like that we're PC geeks we're not camera geeks but we reached out to several brands and told them that you know we're PC geeks we don't know anything about cameras but we're having to shoot a lot of videos and stuff what do you recommend so Canon was kind enough to send us the M6 Mark II and actually it's super nice pala to use one of these things this is the first time that I've actually ever used SLR or DSLR I don't even know what the terms are um but yeah the video is so nice the pictures we're starting to use them the latest video the thumbnail the video on you can help save the world that was taken with the Canon edit or was like wow this is so much nicer I don't even need to do anything basically to the to the to the vid to the picture I just need to put the text and that's it um Emil Rojas automated stock control which really benefit yes actually we're looking into that I'm looking into um an RFID system an RFID system for inventory and and it seems like overkill but what I want to do is I want to wave around a wand in the shop and automatically know like what we have in stock and that'll push automatically to our site and things like that because we go with a regular barcode thing then you still need to go around you still need to pick up those boxes and you still need to lift them and then gun the barcode shoot the barcode what I like about RFID is you know they're active so you just need to have a reader that can handle all of the RFID IDs in a concentrated space and I'm actually in talks with several suppliers. Problem is they're quite expensive and I've gotten sample unit sample RFID tags from Singapore what manufacturer sent it to us but I'm still looking for a reader um but yes that is one of the things that I want to incorporate into project pizza uh to even push our inventory to make it even easier to update inventory and you know we're a small shop we just have one branch and some people might think it's overkill but I really want to push for these automated kind of you know technologies here it's here to make our life easier and inventory is such a pain in the ass to do when it comes in when it goes out what do we have what's listed on Lazada what's listed on Shopee and it often happens na I think something is sold out pero we still have pala in stock but it's just being sold on Facebook or on Lazada or places like that so we have a custom inventory system in place but we are looking to expand it even to upgrade it even more using RFID technology and so I'll just end on that note um there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes of hardware sugar that I personally am enjoying um because you know it's allowing us to to customize these things the way that we want to do it like our inventory system our website and things like that so even if we're um even if we're a small shop we're we're proving that we can use technology to fully maximize everybody so that we can keep small stuff so that we can trans we have less overhead so we can translate that into better prices and things like that um and also so we don't have to people to do menial tasks like oh my god to update inventory and I don't mean menial in a derogatory sense because I'm the I'm the schmuck who does inventory like 95% of the inventory in the shop from ordering to processing it going in siguro um the the staff do most of the work going out because they're the ones who are always in the shop but going in and ordering um falls on me and to update the inventory whenever I'm in the shop I'm always I'm always climbing up these uh these shelves to you know put stuff in to check what we have and things like that so I'm super enjoying um the behind the scenes also of hardware sugar but it has gotten a bit tiring bit tiring with the YouTube and things like that but but still still enjoyable um and yeah we do have a lot of plans in the works unsexy things like inventory management and things like that um we're we're definitely looking into being innovative also on that front uh nothing's overkill unless you get a 59 50 x and 30 90 and play snake with it I do want I do want something interactive like in the future maybe when we have our own space now we'll have LCD this place like outside and then people can interact with them either through their phone you got to play snake or things like that um or to to display whatever like something more interactive um but that's something like way way down the line uh but yeah something fun to look forward to but we probably wouldn't use a 59 50 x and a 30 90 on it although maybe um it'll take us so long to get into a new place now we can we can upgrade to how I like it that baka by then yun yun yung may afford namin sober luma na 30 90 and 59 50 x so thank you to Canon for the eos m6 mark 2 super enjoying it fuji also lent us the xs 10 which is with my brother Rafael um but we're gonna trade pretty soon so that I get to use the fuji and he'll use the canon and then we'll do reviews about it but uh yeah thanks to the two brands um yeah personally I can only talk about the m6 mark 2 but I am super enjoying it and the quality there's a lot to learn especially yung ah for me that I don't really know anything about cameras but um so far so good it's been very productive so thanks so much um facebook audience we were not joined by the youtube audience today because you know I don't know what the heck is going on with restream um or something but um this episode will be posted on youtube as a video so that is it for live from hardware sugar for me um enjoy gcq plus but don't enjoy too much stay safe and thanks for watching do check in or do um if you have the time on monday night please do check out our in the industry episode with uh the founders of I want to say yuga, yaga, yangyang sorry yangyang mobile um they actually have quite interesting games and uh they're a local game dev studio so I am looking forward to interviewing them on monday everyone who tuned in have a good weekend stay safe
