Desktop Casing Selection Suggestion Needed !

kelvinkhaw01 — Thu, 23 Sep 2021 00:10:18 +0800

Hi sifu sifu sekalian,boleh share your experience and give some advice on the part selection mainly on case selection? There's a few that I have not buy yet as I am still undecided and still in research. If you have advice on the RAM PSU, welcome too.
This is my first time building Desktop PC and high chances I might overlook some details.

MOBO: Z390 Aorus Extreme [Bought] [E-ATX]
CPU: i9-9900KF [Bought]
Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black [Bought]
GPU: RTX3070 Asus Rog Strix [Bought]
SSD: Adata SX 820 PRO 1TB [Bought]
PSU: Eye-ing on seasonic prime GX-1000W or Seasonic focus+ GX 1000W. Will 1000W is too overkill and 850W should be more than enough for my build and also be future proof in case in the future(5-10 yeats) I may want to upgrade certain component along the way ? Seems like component nowadays getting more and more power hungry? Which series should i go for and if platinum instead of gold model needed? Welcome other model suggestion too. Additional note: I rarely shutdown my pc, not sure if this will be matters in deciding.
RAM: Probably G skill aegis or CORSAIR Vengeance LPX due to the height clearance issue that i might be facing with the case restriction and air cooler clearance restriction. Any other good choice that i might have missed out that goes well with Noctua NH D-15. Looking for 2 x 16gb RAM specifically.

CASE SELECTION

Need some advice on below to help in deciding before i made any purchase. I on hold RAM & PSU purchase because want to decide on casing first.
- Prefer to get mid tower instead of full tower] Budget below 120$[<RM600].
- Prefer easy to clean dust case kerana ada kucing kat rumah
- Did a rough check on CPU cooler max clearance and GPU clearance for the list below seems to be okay for my available component. Just need to be careful with RAM selection.
- Will not be planning to install extra fan as of now will just use the stock fan or unless needed [Budget sudah max sekarang]

Here are some of the research on my list let me know if you know of better choice that I might missed out.
If you are using any of the same case or have experience building with it, able to share on your build experience and guidance on the concern that I might have?

1) Lian Li Lancool Mesh 2
This was on the top of my list but the cons is that there is no dust filter on the front mesh panel and also side panel kat psu area honeycomb design.
- Meaning dust accumulation will be very bad? How bad is it like after 6 months? Any user experience able to share if it is very difficult to perform dust cleaning and it is really bad without dust filter?
- I like the dimension for this case as it fit right with most of the part I have and have more flexibility. Able to fit E-ATX Mobo too. Best CPU and GPU thermal test compared to below selection based on GamerNexus video.

2) Fractal Design Meshify 2 Compact
- I like this case rather than the non-compact model because smaller in size and it was less expensive too. Got improvement in mechanical design compared to non compact model too.
- Case ini also ada dust filter which mean easier to do cleaning.
- BUT I just find out that it might not be possible to fit E-ATX mobo? Any user experience here that successfully tried to fit in?
For example, I know NZXT 500 even though website said E-ATX mobo not supported but got user somehow still managed to fit it in ngam ngam. Already bought Aorus Extreme Z390
Mobo haiz. Using Noctua cooler too.
- GN showing the CPU temp test quite comparable with Lancool 2 mesh but GPU was not good. Not sure if additional case fan near there can help to improve on this?

3) Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini
- Seems pretty good and also review seems to be comparable to FD Meshify 2 Compact
- Probably the best looking design case out of this 4 selection.
- Any comment on the CPU and GPU thermal with this case? GN tak ada review lagi.
- Also, this case probably best most expensive one compared to the rest selection also potentially need to buy separate case fan.
- Seeing review that smaller PSU needed ? More expensive compared to normal size PSU
- Able to fit in E-ATX mobo? Lian Li website said able to support but i see some website review said maybe cannot, would like to hear if anyone successfully fit in and build with E-ATX.
- Any comment on the CPU and GPU thermal with this case? GN tak ada review lagi.

4) Corsair 4000D Airflow
- Clean look and seeing people recommend on this too saying Corsair is back in the casing game because of this series have high good review.
- Anyone know if able to fit in E-ATX mobo?
- How was the dust accumulation?

kelvinkhaw01 — Mon, 19 Nov 2018 10:24:58 +0800

Out of curiosity, I went on TIME facebook page and asked if they have any future plan in expanding their fibre services to landed residential area. As we all know, TIME currently only support condo and high rise. Their replies for that question kinda surprises me. Well I guess anything can happened in Malaysia. Below in quote were their replies.

"We'd love to serve landed properties with the speedy TIME Internet you deserve. However, we can't get access to or plant new poles for our fibre, and we don't want to resell someone else's network as we can't control the quality and speed of the connection. That's why right now our network only extends to multi-dwelling units such as condominiums."

Wew wtf? Cant get access? Someone/what's stopping them? Is "someone" trying to monopoly? Any comment ?

Seriously had enough of TM "premium & quality" streamyx services/speed with their professional and legal daylight robbery rate.

Also, as usual, damn disappointed with recent TM response to YB's request. They continue to neglect non-unifi coverage streamyx unifi. Basically have no choices, not point turning to other telco. Consult maxis, maxis said "sorry we also hop on TM infrastructure. If your area dont hv unifi coverage, mean no fibre optics being install. We also cant provide you offer"

I follow up by replying "Is there any reason why you could not get access to plant the new poles for your fibre infrastructure" Waiting to see what they will answer now

Fresh Grad: Bachelor's vs Master's level

kelvinkhaw01 — Sun, 25 Dec 2016 08:35:41 +0800

Average salary for engineering fresh grad in Malaysia? What do you think? Any comment?
Is it really worth it to go extra one or two years for Master knowing that you can perhaps start working with BEng and get one or two years working experience ahead of those Master graduate?
Heard some Master's graduate only hv around 3k starting salary similar to bachelor fresh grad....so whats the point?

From what I know, average salary [referring to second upper/first class graduate]
For Bachelor fresh grad salary is around 2.5k-3.2k in Pg/KL
For Master fresh grad salary can be around 3.5k-4k(highest I've heard from friend working in Intel) , any salary higher than that? feel free to comment.

UK: MEng vs BEng+MSc ?

kelvinkhaw01 — Sat, 30 Apr 2016 22:04:56 +0800

I would be grateful if anyone or if you know anyone(tag him plz) can help me regarding the career prospect and accreditation(CEng) of UK's BEng+MSc vs MEng title in Malaysia? The BEng course are fully accredited by the IOM3, meaning they count towards later professional registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng) in UK.

I am currently studying BEng Material Science and Engineering and struggling to decide my pathway as I still dont have a big clear picture of the difference between this two pathway regarding the career prospect and accreditation(in Malaysia). This is what I know below as below

BSc vs BEng for Engineering

kelvinkhaw01 — Sat, 30 Aug 2014 00:50:38 +0800

As per title say may i know what is the difference?? Pros/Cons

Izzit true that you will need to hv a BEng to do a masters in engineering(MEng)?

Can BSc in Material Science & Engineering go to MEng in Material science & engineering after 3years?

What the difference of getting a BSc and BEng in Engineering course??? i know that BSc =Bachelor of Science , BEng = Bachelor of Engineering.
Eg
University of Manchester, Material Science and Engineering (Bsc) - 3years
University of Sheffield, Material Science and Engineering(BEng) - 3years
Both accredited by IOM3 in UK , but course structure differ so much!

Hope someone can shed some light on this.

If i opt for Material science and engineering in BSc, what is job prospect compared to BEng, will i be able to work in engineering field???
Employer prefer graduates with BEng > BSc?
