What is the main difference between this 2 that gives better value for money? on czone price list the 7600x costs RM 919 whereas the 7700x costs RM 1519
purpose: playing games (POE 2 - cpu intensive / overwatch2 and others) , 3D rendering of objects (not animation)
I run 2 screens at the same time if it matters

for gc i'm currently using nvidia 1070 and am waiting for the 5xxx series, will upgrade that in the future. won't be going above RTX 5070ti for the graphic card or prolly 5060

dont wanna touch intel 13/14 gen chips due to bad rep and high power consumption

Wanna purchase a used BMW 428i and would like to get an inspection done. Aside from BMW dealers/workshop, any third party shops out there has the equipment to do a mileage verification check on the car's system? Klang valley.

recommend comfortable riding shoes

Voopoo — Mon, 22 Aug 2022 13:21:53 +0800

can anyone recommend any comfortable riding shoes that i can walk and ride with?

im currenctly using forma viper boots and its hurting my right feet so bad. (only one feet tho)
swells like mad after walking around with it for a bit.

shoe is not small but just that its pressing against the bone for some reason

edit - found out that i have bunion where the large toe knuckle/bone is larger than the other foot and its causing swelling/pain while wearing my riding shoe.

would appreciate if anyone knows of any shoe that is bunion friendly, has wider/bigger area around the toe bone part and is not a tight fit.

wouldnt wanna go around buying shoes till i find a good fit. the pain/swelling will only be felt 1 hour after wearing it therefore i am unable to know if its causing any discomfort during shoe tryout.

Bike repair/insurance claim etc

Voopoo — Wed, 20 Apr 2022 12:21:07 +0800

I'm new to the riding scene and my first bike is a CB250R. I would appreciate if anyone can recommend me some good shops that can fix/service and most importantly do insurance claims and repair if needed. in klang valley.

currently still doing service at honda bigwing but i read from other riders that for normal service they're ok but when it comes to insurance claims and repairs they take very long and they do not check the bike thoroughly during service.

i purchased allianz insurance for my bike through Bigwing but when I ask their staff if there is a need to insurance claim, where do i send the bike to, their staff just told me to check with the one i purchased the insurance from (agent) and not to send straight to their shop...

am quite clueless about this, cuz for car i always just send back to the Service centre for claims hassle free.
