upgrade Intel UHD to IRIS XE

sonyman — Sun, 11 Aug 2024 10:54:09 +0800

hello. i need some help and understanding.

i want to ask. if a laptop is a i5 1235U processor with a 16gb Single SODIMM.

Can i unlock or upgrade the UHD graphics to a IRIS XE by just adding another 16 GB RAM ( or 8GB RAM ) to another slot running a dual channel mode?

Is there any possibility here?

i came across the internet that this is capable.

Can any sifu assist?

Should I buy a Hifiman He400se ? Or M1060,

sonyman — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 07:17:30 +0800

Hallo.

It's been a long time I didn't play headphone. So I want to get back into this segment.

Can I ask. Is the Hifiman He400se a good buy.

I'm looking to replace my old akg 601 headphones. They are old and suffer from age issues

Will the hi-fi man be able to perform up to this akg 601.

I'm also looking at monolith 1060. Are these better than the hi-fiman? Proce wise monolith is like sundara region.

I'm confused. Can anyone help out here.

Thank you in advance.

intel i7 6700 vs intel i5 8400

sonyman — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 21:13:24 +0800

which one will you pick ?

i m looking at these 2 comparison.

I7 6700 is a 4 core 6 thread 4ghz / intel 530 graphic

package / elite desk g2 / 16 gb ram / 1tb hdd /

I5 8400 is a 6 core 6 thread 2.8 ghz / intel 630 graphic

package / mini itx B365 mobo / ssd 160gb / 4 gb ram 2400 hyperx /

both are about 100 difference. givien the i7 6700 at 1399.00

i 5 is cheaper.

wanna use for emulators

dolphins,
pcsx 2

some light games. not sure yet.

both can upgrade graphic in the future. that a side if choosing as a package what would it be.

i was thinking of the g2 as more flexible. but the i5 8400 is quite hard to beat as well.

or should just forget about these 2 old junk and built a brand new desktop.

SFF style.

noob questions

sonyman — Wed, 11 Nov 2020 08:15:50 +0800

hello sifus,

i wanna ask, is c2d 4300 now adays too slow for web browsing, im using mozilla but when viewing you tube 1080p 60hz the cpu process went to 100% and the videos lag,

not my internet is slow cause other devices works well, also i realise firefox has this performance part where you can turn on the settings to use the gpu. i have a very old geforce 8400gs graphic.

i play emulators with this c2d was ok. but browsing you tube video with stutter i think its really not correct plus its taking up all cpu power.

does you tube require so much cpu power? just a simple 1080p 60hz video only. nothing complicated. on laptops it works fine.

how can i improve you tube browsing.

vivo S1 Pro

sonyman — Tue, 19 May 2020 19:17:11 +0800

i want to ask you guys.

I m eyeing on this Vivo S1 Pro

8gb + 128 rom
super AMOLED
SD 665
4500 mAH battery.

Price 1099 or Maxis 499 ( 98 plan )

Is there any other phone outside there which is cheaper and more powerful -bigger battery and comes with a Super AMOLED screen ?

No IPS, i just wanna go for AMOLED this time.

My main Criteria is the Super AMOLED., I cant get myself an OLED TV 65 inch so i op for a 6.38 inch screen first.

got to start somewhere.

BEsides the camera and what so ever, im not too bothered, as long as decend picture quality will be fine. thats for the moment.

Which player are you?

sonyman — Sun, 12 Jan 2020 19:30:41 +0800

W203 C230K Kompressor 2006

sonyman — Wed, 28 Jun 2017 19:22:03 +0800

Hi Sifu Of Mercedes, past and current.

I want some sound advise regarding this model Mercedes C230K 1.8L M271 Engine.

Currently i am looking at one. Could i ask what are the things to look out for?

what are the common breakdown for this Model?

I am just wondering if it is expensive or more expensive than Volvo or BMW?

How does it compare?

I really love the power and the classic feel, plus its about 50K ish pricing for the moment for a 2006 model.

I will be paying Cash, so only need to reserve some for incase of breakdown,

The car will be mainly used for outstation and probably occasional 3 times a week use, especially going to not so crude places like port klang or banting. Otherwise i still have a Hyundai Accent 2005 to cover rough areas.

So its an extra ride.

Can i ask for some input and experience from the Sifu.
