Help me choose a HDD sifu

bluffy83 — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 07:09:37 +0800

Help me sifu, need a new 1TBHDD solely for gaming purpose.

WD Black Caviar 1TB WD1002FAEX looks promising but its pricing was quite weird~
just need a little top up and I can get 128GB SSD..

how about Samsung F3? was it good?

recommend me a reliable 7200RPM HDD please. TQ

Recommend me the cheapest casing please

bluffy83 — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 11:31:20 +0800

Sifu, please recommend me the cheapest casing with this criteria :
budget wise - Rm350 - cheaper is better

a) got a nice cable management - I hate to see all those PSU wire.
b) good air flow with fan - not planning to upgrade to water cooling system with this casing. Maybe just add 1 or 2 additional fan.
c) easy to clean up
d) I prefer performance rather than its look. any brand will do.

Monitor slowly turns black

bluffy83 — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 04:24:19 +0800

I've had zero issues with it until now. Here's my build:

Samsung syncMaster 226 bw
Intel i3-2120
Saphire Radeon HD6870
8 GB RAM value ram
gigabyte B75M-D3V mobo
600 W Huntkey Jumper PSU
Windows 7 OS
edit : add monitor

Now all of a sudden my computer screen will suddenly go black and I'm forced to restart my computer and the problem is getting worse and worse. It first started while I was using CPUID-CPUZ.
Everytime I try to run the program, my monitor will start flicker and slowly turn to black. If I press Esc, it will turn normal again without opening CPUZ program.
But I dont think it was the problem here.

Basically, here's the symptoms of what happens when my screen goes black:

-90% of the time screen slowly turns black when I try to run a program like CPUID and try to installing something.. for example games and driver.

-Occasionally while playing a game, the screen would slowly turn black

- I try to reformat my pc, but everytime I entering bios, my monitor will slowly turns black.

- I can't format through window because everytime I try to run window setup it will turn black again.

- Everytime it happen, I can quickly press Esc and my monitor will turn back to normal but without any running program that I try to open. Without Esc pressing I need to restart my computer.

At first I thought the problem was the games that I installed. I did try take out my graphic card and simply using HD2000 in i3-2120 procs but the problem still occur.

transcend 4gb value ram show me 667mhz when I check using CPU-Z.

Got benchmarking and coolness... the Vengeance... .. but general usage, all about the same la... .. last time i dont got for kingston KVR rams (value rams) as they weren't really that reliable, that's like 5 years ish ago lol...

but for general use... any of those value rams are fine but if you have the dough.. get the performance ones I'd actually went for the Vengeance 4x4Gb ram because it looks cool , but the heatsink was too high, blocking my V6GT, so i settled with the hyperX .... but go to which ever ram you're comfortable with or when the price suits you

but what the question should be is, what sort of clockspeed rams one should get. (I think la lol) 133MHz, 1600Mhz, 1866Mhz

Sorry tumpang thread.

Currently using single transcend 4gb value ram now. It just show me 667mhz when I check using CPU-Z. I thought it was 1333mhz ram. is it normal guyz?
should I change my RAM? Using i3-2120 and Gigabyte B75M-D3V mobo now. I think it can support up to 1600mhz but need to use Ivy bridge. so 1333mhz will do for now.

Suggest me a good 1333mhz RAM please
