Thermalright and Deepcool Coolers

Respek Wamen — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 10:16:02 +0800

So, I don't know if I haven't been looking hard enough or not but here's what I kinda found out:

1. It seems that barely any computer shops in Malaysia eg. IdealTech PC sells Thermalright/Deepcool coolers off the shelf if not at all. Why's that?

2. Both brands are obviously available on Shopee but, Thermalright ships from Mainland China (except for Deepcool which is available locally for shipping). You would think that Malaysia of all countries would be selling a whole variety of Chinese/Taiwanese computer products since we're geographically close but, apparently not!

Besides this, I would love to know if there are any computer shops that not only builds custom computers for you but also has those two cooler brands in stock with them. Unless it's one of those "We don't have stock, but we can order them for you and put it in your build" kind of thing going on.

Much thanks.

Hey guys. Are there any reliable shops in the Sunway/PJ or nearby areas that perform fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement for gaming laptops?

Thanks.

Where can I change my thermal paste?

I've had my laptop for half a year now and I'd like to know if there are any computer shops in Lowyat, KL or Sunway area that can change my thermal paste for me? I"m not confidant enough to change my own thermal paste so I would need professionals to do it for me.

Nvidia Optimus in Laptops

It's obvious they can cause screen tearing while playing games, right? If I did get a laptop with Optimus, should I enable v-sync in all my games or get a laptop that has G-SYNC?

Are there any here in Malaysia? Or Kuching? Is PC Image a reseller for this brand? I'm interested in the Gigabyte Aero 15

I've seen videos like this https://youtu.be/XhEOpqwZeNQ where the trackpad looks smooth. However, on MSI's website, it looks like it has texture on its trackpad! What's going on?! Could somebody clear things up?

Looking for a laptop with great display

Respek Wamen — Thu, 23 Nov 2017 17:31:56 +0800

As a designer, MacBook Pros/Surface Books are always recommended to me for my line of work. However, I'm looking for cheaper alternatives from either Acer, Asus, Lenovo or HP. I've done lots of research into filtering out the ones with the best display for the price under RM8000.

My main requirements:
- An IPS display with a minimum of 97% sRGB
- 8GB RAM (upgradable)
- GTX 1050 and or above
- BELOW RM8000
- It HAS to be from either Acer, Asus, Lenovo or HP (Because these are the only brands that have outlets in Kuching, Sarawak. I can service them here instead sending them to KL.)

Right now, I am looking at the Asus Zenbook Pro UX550VD. Others like the Acer Aspire V17 Nitro and Lenovo Thinkpad have great coour accuracy near to 100% sRGB but they look really ugly.

Any recommendations for the brands mentioned or critisms for the Zenbook Pro?
