Cheapest way to maintain NCD

chrischiang — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 16:32:41 +0800

Hi sifu, I did a search on ncd and read through doesnt seem to find what I need.

I got 2 cars, car 1 with 55% and car 2 with 38%. Recently I sold off car 2 which is the car my wife is driving and bought a new car under her name. She want to accumulate ncd herself.

Question, what the cheapest way I could maintain my 38% ncd?
What has come into my mind is I'll get a used saga/kancil/wira and only purchase the cheapest third party insurance.
Can ncd get accumulate with third party insurance or will need a full comprehensive insurance?

Thanks!

car insurance claim ncd question

chrischiang — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 21:43:45 +0800

hello all sifu.. i not sure where to ask.. so i just try my luck in this forum...

summary of the case.. my sis got bang from a commercial use lorry.. the lorry slide down from inclined road and bang the front part of the car..

went report and the keputusan said is the lorry's fault..

proceed with claim..
but now the workshop tell me can proceed with claim and got back the 1st year NCD only.. next year onward my NCD will be reset because that is commercial use lorry??

question..
1) keputusan said is not my fault.. why my NCD will reset next year??
2) even if i fail to claim the lorry insurance, i remember there is something call no fault claim?

btw is kurnia(my own) if it matters...

Ram upgrade option

chrischiang — Sun, 27 Sep 2020 15:18:56 +0800

Hello, need some opinion here..

I using Trident Z neo 2x8GB kit right now.. due to I open nox player x 5 (allocated 2GB each) if I open chrome then my ram usage will shoot up to 85-90%

1) sell off current 2x8GB kit and get 2x16GB kit
2) try to find another set Trident Z neo 2x8GB kit --> 4x8GB

Question:
1) any diff between 2 stick vs 4 stick ram? assuming i wont be upgrading to 64GB
2) is there any problem if i dont use the same brand ram for 2x8 + 2x8? example my current trident Z neo + xpg/pny ram??

thanks!

PCIe wifi card or wifi AP

chrischiang — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 20:06:34 +0800

hello, recently i just got upgraded from 30mbps to 100mbps unifi.. Now i'm facing issue on my old 150Mbps wireless N card. (only getting 30mbps on 2.4ghz wifi )

i got 2 plan in my mind..both setup will cost almost the same price... just wonder which will be a better way.. sifu please give some suggestion..

1) get a new pcie wifi card.. Tplink Archer T6E this new card should be able to get 100mbps speed with 5ghz wifi..

2) get a cheap AC router Tenda AC6 , setup as wifi AP and connect as LAN to my PC.. will this setup get me 100mbps speed or near to 100mbps on LAN?

not consider pulling LAN cable from main router to pc. Although router is just a wall away from pc, but if want to route the cable, need at least 7-8meters.

not powerline as i do not have extra socket in my room..

please suggest if you have other ideas.. thankss!!!

This system dont pass thru POST, CPU fan, GPU fan, case fan spinning forever. No beep while start up.. i tried alot of method i could find online.. none of them working..

tried swapping the ram (3 of them)
tried swapping the gpu
tried reset cmos and remove battery for 15 mins..

Is Hotlink Super new plan?

chrischiang — Sun, 30 Jul 2017 15:40:40 +0800

Hotlink Super

Currently i'm using Hotlink Fast. I understand Fast plan have weekend 8GB and daily happy hour...

This new Hotlink Super plan, if my understanding is correct, also same like Fast having weekend 8GB and daily happy hour with additional internet larut malam. Most important Super plan can subscribe to Rm70(8GB plan)..

If this plan is new and real, i would like to switch to this... as 5GB is not quite sufficient for me...
