Acer Swift 5 Overheat?

pikafaded — Sun, 04 Apr 2021 19:31:04 +0800

Hi, I have an Acer Swift 5 for normal work but realise it is very warm when doing normal tasks like watching youtube. The whole body is quite hot and the performance is not very good. Is it normal for an i5-1035G1 CPU with MX250 GPU? I didn't expect that it could not run Fall Guys smoothly even at low settings. Already tried to format the laptop once and the heating issue is still there. Is it because that thin and light laptop always come with bad thermal control?

Maxis, DiGi or stay on Unifi

pikafaded — Thu, 24 Dec 2020 14:15:53 +0800

Hi, I'm planning to switch my home fibre plan from Unifi to maybe Maxis or DiGi. Are both M and D use the same connection as Unifi? The reason why I'm switching is I don't use HyppTV at all. Thus I found that M and D provide better plan for me. Any suggestions on Maxis or DiGi fibre plan? Is the connection stable and fast like Unifi? Thanks.

Possible to undervolt without downgrading BIOS?

pikafaded — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 10:45:10 +0800

I have updated my BIOS version out of curiosity without knowing that intel has blocked undervolting with latest BIOS version. Now, I could not undervolt my CPU. I tried to install back the old version where undervolting is allowed but the windows will keep asking me to restart to install the latest BIOS.

Is there any solution to this? I wanted to undervolt my laptop so much so that when I play games, the temp will only reach around 85 degree maximum (without undervolting, it will be over 90 degree).

Thanks.

Laptop around RM2000?

pikafaded — Tue, 15 Dec 2020 22:02:11 +0800

Hi, I'm looking for a laptop that costs around RM 2000. Is it possible to get one? Main priority is reliable(can last at least 5 years).
The laptop is only used by my dad for web browsing and watching YouTube.
If it is impossible to get a reliable laptop at this price. I might consider buying a desktop(main reason I consider laptop is its portability) with i3-10100 as I see its performance is good enough to last a 5 year. Thanks.

pikafaded — Sat, 11 Jul 2020 15:14:04 +0800

Hi, I have used the free router from TM which is DIR-850L by D-Link since I sign up for my Unifi plan about 2 years ago. Recently, I am facing WiFi disconnect issue in all my devices like laptop and phone. It happens a few times a day if I don't restart my router often. Just wanted to know does this router support MU-MIMO and is it suitable for around 10-15 devices connected everytime? Or it is the effect of router aging?
