recomendations for 75 or 85 inch TV

Alfsaw — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 11:02:50 +0800

Hello everyone. I've not posted in LYN for ages.

In need of help and advice in regard to TVs.

In brief. the distance between my sofa and the intended wall mounted TV is 4 meters.

Location is Kuching, Sarawak. so delivery by Shopee or Lazada may not be plausible.

I've been to the local stores and it seems like 65 inch TV is just too small from a distance of 4 meters.

For some context on local pricing:

Sharp 4T-C65FK1X is RM2899
Sharp 4TC75FJ1X is RM3999
Sharp 4T-C75FK1X is RM4799
Skyworth 86SUE7600 is RM6999

I don't have any brand preferences but would like to keep my budget below 9k if possible.

Thank you in advance.

RMA-ed HDD

Alfsaw — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 11:40:19 +0800

Need advice on the above.

Recently got my 1.5TB HDD back cuz it died out from RMA.

But when I hooked it up to my rig and everything, it works but produces quite a loud humming/buzzing sound.

My first thought was the case mounting or brackets, but my other HDD did not produce such sound at all.

What should I do? Return back for RMA again?

As per the above topic,

Apparently, the mobo that I currently have CANNOT detect/recognize the SSD i just bought. As in, it works fine on the 3gbps port but cant detect the SSD on the 6gbps port.

Ive done research, it is the mobo problem and there is no apparent solution for this.

SSD : Plextor M5Pro 128gb
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V LK

Tried both 6gbps ports and both cant detect the said SSD, but works fine with my other HDDs/ODD.

I gladly welcome all suggestions and advice.

Upgrade suggestions

Alfsaw — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 22:43:24 +0800

As per topic tile, I have about rm1.5k for upgrade or so.

My initial plan was to upgrade my sound card to Asus Xonar Essence STX (which I can get for RM480 brand new).

What do you guys think? What should I get with the remainder of the budget and why? For example, SSD and what not.

Thanks in advance! Dont troll me pls, I know the budget is not much.

Troubleshooting sound card

Alfsaw — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 19:38:48 +0800

As per title, I dont know what happened to my sound card today when switched my pc on (after 2 weeks). When i tried reinstalling the driver, all it says is no device detected/ Please plug in Asus Xonar DG/no headphone or speakers detected.

Tried the following already:
1.Re-install drivers/update drivers
2.Reset/replug frm pci slot
3.Tried the other pci slots on the mobo

Haven't tried:
Plugging into another PC.

Problems before this:
was using cheap extension cable, for about a year and it was working well. But several weeks back, it did not work with the extension cable. I thought it was my headphones but when i tried plugging in the jack directly, it was fine. Bought a new cheap extension cable, thought it was cable problem, but still cant resolve the problem.

So, what do you guys think? Help me out here, before I officially declare the card deceased.

Regarding PSU

Alfsaw — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 21:55:52 +0800

As above, need some clarification regarding PSU wattage.

How to determine if a PSU is "True Power"?

Situation:
Going to upgrade to Asus GTX680 DC2T, when it is available.

Is my PSU (http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=295&area=en) enough for this card and my current setup(refer to siggy)?

Very sorry, not really sure where or whom to ask about this, kinda noob in PSUs.

Would really appreciate the help guys.

need help choosing Mobo

Alfsaw — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 11:20:31 +0800

As per above, my budget for this mobo is roughly RM450-500

Currently considered are :

1. Asus P8Z77 V LX
2. Asus P8Z77 V LK
3. ASRock Z77 Extreme4

Which of the above should i get?
Or suggest me a few models within the mentioned budget.

Gonna pair it with my new Asus GTX680 DC2T when I get it.

Note: Im have to change mobo cuz I cant use my Asus Xonar DG if i were to just upgrade my GPU alone, (2slot to 3slot GPU)

Please advise...

Thanks in advance.
