[WTA] Xpax or Hotlink

stanleysum — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:17:17 +0800

I'm thinking to get myself a 2nd line prepaid (for backup and emergency use) and my questions are below:

Xpax vs Hotlink

1. which one give the most and better coverage especially outskirts.
2. which one provide the service where i can just purchase 1 year active line without topping up (similar to Digi)
3. which one doest not have credit expiry (i remember Digi do not have credit expiry)
4. voice quality (probably very subjective and may depends on areas too)

FYI, i'm currently a DiGi postpaid user with 24 months contract.

Thanks.

PSU Amp Rating

stanleysum — Sun, 03 May 2009 23:01:22 +0800

Example:

+12V rail 1 = max load 18A
+12V rail 2 = max load 18A
+12V rail 3 = max load 18A
---------------------------------
total max load = 54A
---------------------------------

question 1 : if a component stated need at least 40A to run properly. can above example fulfill? we always refer to the max load right?

question 2 : if a few components connected to +12V rail 1 and the total Amp is like 20A++ will that causes any issue?

question 3 : any different for a single rail 54A PSU compare to the above example? i know there is single rail Amp comparable to the above example.

Edit: I'm asking above question is because i encounter a problem where i never face before and hopefully not related. refer to my other topic

PSU Give Hgh Pitch Noise When Gaming or Folding

stanleysum — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:51:55 +0800

My PSU start giving high pitch noise/whine when my system load more than 200W. i can read the total Watt usage from the Zalman ZM-MFC2.

Idle System Watt: 145W++ (no whine)
Load System Watt: 260W++ (with annoying high pitch noise )
PSU: ACBEL 750W M8
PC spec: refer to my sig

i am pretty sure the high pitch noise is from the PSU whenever i gaming/folding/whatever the power load more than 200W. My system condition is somehow still stable both on idle and load. The only annoying part is the high pitch noise.

Just wanted to find out whether is this PSU problem or not so that i may send back for warranty. LYN sifu please help

Additional info: when gaming it will give fractuating high pitch noise

Intel C2Q 9550 Temperature

stanleysum — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:15:51 +0800

Processor: Intel C2Q Q9550 @ stock clock
Cooler: TRUE 120 with CM 2000rpm 120mm fan
Environment: Typical Malaysia Room Temperature with good casing ventilation (i'm using ATCS840)

Idle: Core 0 @ 44C++
Load: Core 0 @ up to 66C

1. the hottest core always core 0 so i just show that
2. any Q9550 owner may want to share your experience because i think my temp is a bit too high
3. is it normal with the above result?
4. fyi, i think i apply too much thermal grease (bundle with the TRUE) and below is how i applied the compound
a. applied the compound almost the whole processor surface.
b. applied the compound almost the whole surface of the TRUE contact surface.
c. when i fixed the TRUE 120 to the processor that time, i noticed there are the extra compound comes out from all directions.

Please help

3rd Party VGA Cooler for Sapphire ATI HD4670

stanleysum — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 22:15:13 +0800

I'm currently looking for a 3rd party cooler which can support my Sapphire ATI HD4670 512MB DDR4. I'm keen of doing a 24/7 Folding@Home using GPU and below is my temperature result

In normal room temperature
idle @ 41 degree celcius
load @ 76 degree celcius

In air cond room temperature
idle @ 36 degree celcius
load @ 70 degree celcius

I may want to leave my PC on for F@H even when I off to work.. but loading @ 76 degree celcius worried me and I'm not doing it at the moment until i find a VGA cooler which will drop the temperature. It won't be air cond when i'm not around. FYI, GPU will load @ 99% when F@H.

The problem is i do not know if the 3rd party cooler compatible with my GC or not. LYN sifu please help me out here.
