Looking for a new travel tripod

ScivanShimitar — Sun, 03 Feb 2019 00:55:12 +0800

As per title I am currently looking for a new travel tripod for my upcoming backpacking trip for a month where I will be walking about 25km-30km per day and some minor hiking, so I'm not really keen on bringing some serious size tripod.

Budget : RM500 (or maybe you can convince me to spend more because it is worth it)
Weight : Not more than 1.5kg
Max Load : 3kg+
Head type : Dont mind ball/pan/tilt
Leg Locks : dont mind

In case my gear is important to avoid tripod from falling towards the front because the front is too heavy, my camera is a7iii and my heaviest lense is tamron 28-75mm.
Feel free to give me a slap of reality if my demands is too obnoxious.

All 3 Displayport on my GPU is not working

ScivanShimitar — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 20:46:12 +0800

Hi guys, unfortunately power trip happened in my house 2 times this morning and both time my computer was on.
At first nothing happened but after the second trip my third monitor which is using the displayport on my Palit 970 Jetstream is not working.
First I suspect the cable is broken or fried so I tried switching my third monitor port to other DP port and none of them are working but when I changed it to the DVI port of my main 144hz monitor and it is working just fine.
Is there any any possibility that the power trip affected all my 3 displayport and is there any way I can fix this? Or I just have to live with 2 monitors

PC turned on but no display

ScivanShimitar — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 17:12:30 +0800

Today I encountered some trouble after restarting my computer after I finished installing logitech driver for my new headset.
When I pressed power button the computer turned on for awhile then turn off for 1-2 sec and continued to turn on.
The problem is there is no signal detected on 3 of my monitor display.
So far I tried

1) attach and reattach RAM & GPU
2) Using onboard display

but still the problem persist, should I reset the CMOS?
What do you guys think?

Need suggestion about 3 monitor setup

ScivanShimitar — Tue, 01 Dec 2015 17:00:15 +0800

I am currently running 2 monitor setup with Benq GL2460 (DVI-D dual link, VGA) & Benq GL2460HM (HDMI, DVI-D dual link, VGA) and now I am considering to get a new 144hz monitor from Benq as well to be used as middle main monitor. I am limited to 2 choices which is XL2411Z and XL2430T, but I still prefer XL2411Z since I have to fork around extra RM800 to get XL2430T.

So here's the thing, I am using Palit GTX970 Jetstream as you can see above which consist 1 mini HDMI, 1 DVI-I(Dual Link), and 3 mini displayport. As of now GL2460 is connected to DVI-I (Dual link) port using single link cable and GL2460HM is connected to mini HDMI. If I were to opted for XL2411Z (DVI-D dual link, HDMI, VGA) I have below as the option.

XL2411Z (DVI-D dual link) connect to GTX970 (DVI-I dual link)
GL2460 (DVI-D dual link) connect to GTX970 ( using DVI-D to mini displayport adapter)
GL2460HM remains unchanged

The main question is will I be able to get full capacity of 144hz by using the DVI-D cable connected to DVI-I port on my GPU? Or should I just avoid the hassle and get XL2430T, is it worth the price tag?

In case it is hard for you to understand I provided the situation with pictures.

Massive CPU usage while playing games.

ScivanShimitar — Tue, 08 May 2012 22:41:01 +0800

Hello I am seeking for a help from all of the sifu's here regarding my problem. I have been playing this game for almost a year on my laptop and have never faced this kind of problem. Recently the CPU usage of my lappy when playing rises suddenly and I will face this massive graphical lag and then my screen will go black on its own then auto shut down.

Sometime it will go over 5x on CPU tab.. is this normal for an application?

The CPU usage of performance tab when having massive graphical lag.

My laptop spec
ASUS A42jv
Intel® Core™ i5 450M 2.40 GHz ~ 2.40 GHz Processor
Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 335M 1GB DDR3 VRAM
RAM 4Gb

I have recently applied the thermal paste myself and cleaned the heatsink/fan so I'll doubt that its the thermal paste and the fan problem.
So what do all the sifu's think that have been causing the prob?

Kapal selam comic

ScivanShimitar — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 02:49:08 +0800

Hey guys this is my latest comic,
its about an almost unsinkable Kapal Selam that i found during the college days.

at the end of the day we have to wait about 1 hour to really make the kapal selam disappear.
Thus the legend of Taman Idris Kapal Selam is born.
The owner of the kapal selam is still a mystery to now.
everytime someone mention about kapal selam to us we will really LOL!
