Hi. As per image above, is the reading especially for +12V normal?
Feel it quite low.
If the reading not normal, what is the effect to my PC & does it a sign i need to change my PSU?
Thanks

CPU fan randomly undetected

-cmi- — Fri, 17 Jul 2020 23:19:41 +0800

Hi,
Really need expert advise here.
I just 90% rebuilt my new rig from scratch (the only parts that i reuse were PSU, GPU & HDD).
My current spec.

CPU - Ryzen R5 3600
Mobo - Aorus B550 Master
CPU Fan - Aigo TR240 Symphony
GPU - AMD ATI 5770 (temporarily use to wait for new NVIDIA model)
Ram - XPG 8gbx2 3200mhz
SATA - XPG 500gb M.2 SSD
Case - InWin 101
PSU - Seasonic M12 Evo 750w

My issue is my cpu fan will randomly stop spinning upon my usage & when it happens, the CPU temp will spike to more than 95c and never decrease even after i restart my pc. Do note it randomly happens after i switch on my pc (usually less than hour) even without me opening heavy app.
I had sent my pc to the shop that i bought and they changed new cpu fan for me but the issue still occur.
I need to switch off my pc for few minutes and switch on back and the fan will start running again but the issue keep repeating over & over again.
I have updated my bios to latest version anyway.
Anyone knows what the issue? kinda loss of idea to troubleshoot.
Is it because of bad software? I use Windows 10 Pro. PSU issue? another defect cooling again? mobo or my cpu?

Appreciate your advise. Thanks

Reboot and select proper boot device

-cmi- — Mon, 12 Jun 2017 19:11:34 +0800

Hi. I got some weird issue with my PC.
Im using WD 1tb Blue as my main HDD.
The issue is my pc running slower after sometime before it freeze completely and when i restart, the message "please reboot and select proper boot device" pop up. After i turn it off for few hours and power it up back, it runs like normal before it happened again.

I thought it was an issue with my HDD. I bought new HDD (Toshiba 1tb) and the same message pop up again. I cant even install OS into HDD since it cant get through. I checked into my bios setting and it able to detect the sata connection and my HDD but i cant get thru with the installation.

Whats the cause of the issue? Is it my new HDD also faulty or it caused by other hardware part ie motherboard?

-cmi- — Mon, 05 Dec 2016 01:09:39 +0800

Hi.
I plan to replace my current stock clarion HU for 1.8MT Inspira to 2 din LCD screen.
After further browsing, i found this HU from Max Audio. Link below.

2 Din DVD GPS Camera From Max Audio

Need expert review about this HU.
Is it good? Value is fair? And the seller doesn't has bad reputation right?
If there's any other HU suggestion within my budget range (RM1k to RM1.5k), highly appreciate to do so.
I'm totally noob in this part.
Thanks.

Question about 2x 8 pin connectors GPU

-cmi- — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 22:29:21 +0800

Hi,
I just got gigabyte 980 ti extreme today.
The prob is, my psu only able to connect 1x 8 pin connector and 1x 6 pin connector to this GPU.
The other 8 pin connector design doesnt compatible to fit into the GPU connector.

The question is, can i just power up this 2x 8 pin GPU with 1x 8 pin and 1x 6 pin connector? Or do it gonna blow up my GPU?

And if cant, should i use converter? I got 1 converter inside the box (1x 8 pin) but i need to connect it with 2x 6 pin which my psu didnt have.

Im using seasonic s12 620w anyway. Thanks for help.

Special Video Made by Vietnamese

While there are many provocateur/butthurt people especially from Singapore try to frame bad image toward us and taking advantage from the incident by spreading unnecessary hatred toward us over AFF Page, Vietnamese forum and their own forum, Vietnamese is much more better than that. Vietnamese are really mature/reasonable and knows that it just bad behavior of few Malaysian that cause the incident.
My highest respect to Vietnamese

Toyota Vios vs Honda City (2014)

-cmi- — Sun, 30 Nov 2014 12:06:07 +0800

Hi,
I asking this question for my parent and i need opinion from expert or current owner.
They need 2nd car for daily usage and our main target is Vios G Spec and City E Spec.
For the pricing, both are pretty much the same. Vios starting price is around RM88,000 with RM8k rebate while City starting price is around RM83,000 with RM4.5k rebate.
While I strongly suggest my parent to take City, the big turn off for them is City just got 2 front disc break and no leather seat.

Please share your opinion between this 2 car about everything like FC, drivability, performance, stability, cost of maintenance etc.

Thanks and have a great day.

Sometimes my PC won't start

-cmi- — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 02:18:42 +0800

I got 1 really weird and frustrating prob with my PC atm.
I just bought Palit Jetstream GTX 970 weeks ago.
The prob is, my pc sometimes won't start after i restart my comp or after shut down.
To make it worst, this issue not happen everytime and usually when it happened, i need to plug out my GPU back and rub the part that connecting with my mobo to make it work again.
When this prob occur, all LED light inside casing, fan, processor etc are working but the screen just stay blank.
I also try to remove my GPU and my comp work like normal w/o any prob.
For extra information, i used R9 280X and ATI 5770 before and i never face this kind of prob.

Anyone know what is the real prob? Is it because my GPU is faulty? Or maybe because my mobo version just not compatible with my card? Or maybe my PSU faulty?
Anyway i do use latest driver version for my GPU.

This is my pc spec.

Proc - i5 4460
Mobo - Asrock H97M Pro4
Ram - Kingston 1600 mhz 8gb
GPU - Palit Jetstream GTX 970
PSU - Seasonic S12 620w

Hope sifus and otai here can give your thought about this prob. Ty.

My overclock GPU return to normal after sometimes

-cmi- — Mon, 06 Oct 2014 11:54:46 +0800

I had overclock my GPU, Palit Jetstream GTX 970 (w/o changing the voltage) but after sometimes, the figure will return back to normal.
This isn't the 1st time anyway because i also had overclock my old Gigabyte ATI 5770 and the problem is the same.
I need to reapply the overclock figure using MSI burner.
Anyone know what's actually the real issue? How i can sticking up the overclock mode w/o need to change it everytime it turn back to normal.
