Pc build recommendation

geniousboy — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 09:44:32 +0800

1. STATE your budget: max rm1.8k with monitor
2. STATE the parts that you wish to re-use: harddisk 1tb
3. STATE your purpose:
Primary = office work, online, watch movies, downloading
Secondary = Adobe illustrator, photoshop
Tertiary = old school game (cs, fifa)

Is this rig ok? Found it at fb marketplace

ryzen 5 2600 (new)
Msi a320 (used)
Ram 8gb ddr4 (new)
Ssd 120gb (new)
Psu 600w (new)
Galaxy gtx 1060 3gb (used)
Casing segotep prime (new)
Price rm1599

Is it ok if i remove gpu and only use the integrated vega 11 for my purpose? Meaning i exchange the gpu for monitor to maintain the budget.. gpu can be bought later if needed..

Thanks in advance..

Fitness Tracker

geniousboy — Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:32:25 +0800

Hi. I want to buy one that with basic functions like heart rate, calories burned, distance (for jogging), sleep tracker.

Been using phone only to track my jogging, but too heavy to keep phone in pocket.
Wanna start back my swimming, I'm looking for a watch that can track swimming activities as well..

Dont need the smart phone functions like receive phone call yadayada...

Huawei band 2 pro with gps seems to have the function, and within my low budget, but it's not available in official huawei/honor website. So not sure bout buying it from lazada (original?)

Going through fitbit website, too many models, plus the price tag too high.. same with garmin..

Any other recommendation?

usb port malfunction (cannot detect)

geniousboy — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 18:54:41 +0800

so yesterday there's blackout at my house.
when i want to switch on the plug connected to my laptop, blackout again.
but after that ok already, i can on my laptop.
however, seems like all the usb ports cannot detect anymore.
modem, external hdd, pendrive, all not detected.
but my laptop functioning normally, no problem whatsoever.

so is there anything i can try to solve this problem?
i believe the usb port is fixed together with motherboard right?
i guess i need to change motherboard if want to fix the usb problem?

btw, my laptop is asus k42jr, bought early 2010 (>2 years old)
need an opinion/suggestion/respond fast..
i cant do work, online, if i cant use the usb port.. huhu

thanks in advance.

graphic card problem

geniousboy — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:54:52 +0800

hie.. wanna ask u guys..
couple of days ago, i cleaned my pc, took out all the fans including my gc's fan..
when i put it back, and turned my pc on..
the monitor turns into power saving mode right after loading the windows..
then i checked, i found that my gc's fan not working..
now the question is,
how do i check whether it's the fan that got problem or the gc itself got problem?
will it work again if i just change the fan?
btw, my gc is colorful 8600gt.. exactly like this one..
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/graphi...ngs,1722-8.html

i'm happy with just 8600gt..
another month and the card will be 2 years old..
i'm not a hardcore gamer,
used to play crysis halfway, left4dead halfway, cod4
nfs undercover n now playing nfs shift, really wanted to finish it..

original vs fake adidas shoes

geniousboy — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 09:10:26 +0800

i've googled it, so far i found only 3 tips..

1. Genuine Adidas shoes have different serial numbers on each shoe
2. Genuine shoes don’t have signs of “heel tags”

so other than these 2, are there any tips to spot fake adidas?
if a seller claims to sell adidas shoes cheaper than al-ikhsan, is there a high possibility of that shoes to be fake?
or perhaps the seller can sell cheaper since he don't have to pay shop rent.. i dunno..

sorry if there's already a thread discussing bout this. if so, mod can close this.

nfs prostreet

geniousboy — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 05:48:06 +0800

dunno whether this is the correct place to ask this questions..
i just installed nfs prostreet and hot import night (dunno correct or not..but its racing game like nfs)
the problem is, whenever i wanna play, there's a sound coming from my cpu..very annoying..sound like an alarm..
i seriously have no idea why is that sound appears..i think my spec is enough to play the games..
one more thing, what is punkbuster?do we need that to play games?

what wireless connection can i use?

geniousboy — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 08:23:53 +0800

well, im staying in vista komanwel, n as for the moment, my house is using TIME connection @ 384kbps..
im planning to upgrade the connection, but streamyx is not available in vista komanwel eventhough it is available to arena green apartment which is just next to vista komanwel. so what i have in mind is the new netlink wireless connection by TIME which will be available in service next month. anybody have quite a detail info regarding this connection? the info is still not available in their website, maybe a TIME agent could help me here? or any other suggestion?

p/s: there are 7 people sharing the connection in my house. already have the modem n router.
