Problem with Unifi 800mbps

DesktopLimousine — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 16:31:40 +0800

I just upgraded from 300mbps to 500mbps (free 800 for 6 months). But there is a problem with the internet, it never reaches 700mbps with ethernet cat5e/cat6, with higher ping 30-40ms, even the nearest server I still got 20++ms. But previously, with the 300mbps speed I managed to get low ping ms below 15ms even server from KL, btw im from Sabah. The fiber reading is ok lah, -20.6mdb checked from the onu page. Ive tried several router like asus ax82u, tp link ax73, now currently using tp link ax90. Called unifi cs a few times, they already sent 3 different technician but they just closed the case just like that and said I need to stick with the default unifi router (this router also same result and sometimes drop even worst). Do u guys think I should change the ONU? Mine is ZTE, I plan to buy huawei onu from someone else. Whats the difference between the huawei hg8240h and hg8240h5?

PC speaker replacement

DesktopLimousine — Thu, 06 Feb 2020 19:37:03 +0800

Hi guys, I need a recommendation for a new speaker. My Edifier M3300 just died last night. It has served for many years since 2009
My budget is quite tight RM250-RM300. That M3300 probably got the best bass sound on its era, So I need a new speaker thats close to the M3300 quality range or better.

[WTA] Whats the best method to cleanup ur pc?

DesktopLimousine — Thu, 13 Oct 2016 22:05:09 +0800

I just built a complete pc with an ITX casing. As far I know that small casing (Evolv ITX) easily trap the dust inside.

Can I use makeup brush or painting brush to sweep the dust on my GPU backplate? Does brush has high static electricity that could damage my GPU?

Ive been plan to sweep the dust while I sit my vacuum nearly so it can suck the dust in while I sweep it. Is that a good option? Thanks!
