Air cooler vs aio cooler

eternalpulse — Tue, 19 Dec 2017 17:28:44 +0800

Hi all sifus, I'm looking to build a midrange gaming rig. Specs most likely
I5 - 8400
16gb ram
Gtx 1080

Since I'm not using a K series chip, actually I was considering a cryorig H7 quad lumi for the RGB (even though I know stock cooler is enough). But recently found that ID cooling auraflow 240 is only slightly (rm50-70) more expensive than the quad lumi. It looks nicer as no huge tower sticking out, but I'm worried of the lifespan and noise of the auraflow. Any advice on which to choose? Thanks Ms

I've been looking at Dell's laptops and i know that Inspiron is a consumer line series while Vostro is meant for businesses. But looking at the specs and price, for example:
Inspiron 14R (Special Edition), i5-3210M + Nvidia GT640M(28nm Kepler)@RM2049[2.38kg], 4GB, 500GB(7200rpm), W7HP/W8
vs
Vostro 3460, i5-3210M + Nvidia GT630M + 32GB mSATA+ 500GB(7200rpm) HDD@RM2559[2.23kg], 4GB, W7HB; colors: red/silver/bronze

whats the difference (apart from GPU and SSD) between the this two series?
Which one is more recommended to buy? Thanks!

Does CPU matter when there is a discrete GPU?

eternalpulse — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 10:08:57 +0800

Hi sifus. I'm currently looking at [Ultrabook]K46CM-WX090H, i5-3317U + Nvidia GT635M@RM2199[2kg], 2GB, 500GB, W8, OD, as purchase. But I,ve read suggestions that the i5-3317 is not good for gaming n movies bcoz of its low speed (compared to say i5-3210). If I'm looking for medium gaming n watching movies, is the i5-3317 good enough? And does the CPU speed matter when there is a discreet GPU?

Thanks!!!
