the thing is, my mobo caps my ssd for quite a long time now.... i want to upgrade my mobo at the same time will upgrade my processor because i got the 1st gen i7. so i'm thinking, i should get a new mobo, a new i5 processor and a water cooler to overclock it but i have no idea what to buy.

Currently i found this pretty neat processor

but havent had any idea on what mobo... asrock z77 and a corsair hydro cooling?

My friend PC Spec:-

i5 2nd gen 3.2ghz
2 x 4gb 1600mhz gaming ram
560 GTX 1gb

is it the heat or the PSU?

About RAM DIMM3: Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1600C9

bontotalan — Wed, 04 Jul 2012 09:28:28 +0800

DIMM3: Corsair XMS3 CM3X2G1600C9 2 GB DDR3-1333 DDR3 SDRAM (9-9-9-24 @ 666 MHz) (8-8-8-22 @ 592 MHz) (6-6-6-16 @ 444 MHz)

I'm confused whether this should be 1333 MHz or 1600 MHz

I use Aida 64 to detect, and the speed seems to be 1333mhz if i'm not mistaken.

But in the model name seems like it's supposed to be 1600 MHz, can anyone explain or help me on how to change from 1333->1600 if it WAS supposed to be 1600MHz

A few Questions
1. is 2011 MOBO worth it rather than my 1366?
2. SDD + HDD combination

My notes
1. Graphic card can be upgraded LAST

Main use
1. Photo/Video editing
2. Heavy Gaming
3. A little bit of 3D sometimes
4. ~RM1000 to spend every 3 month, so need priority on what needs to be upgraded first and stuff

How to get started?

bontotalan — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 13:59:55 +0800

How do you guys get started? Mind sharing?

For me, for many years tried to lose weight
Eat less - no rice , then after a few weeks cannot tahan liao then eat more than before
Go gym - long time to plan then once go, over workout then sakit liao then dowan go anymore and dowan move for a few days cos sakit

How do you guys start to do it? It seems impossible

Do i just eat normal meal while workout at home? Or do i buy those herbalife thingy? Or do i just buy those protien shake thing and fat burner then go gym? I only have 2 dumbbells at home last year. Want to workout but its now collecting dust.

Maybe its just me not dicipline enough and keep on delaying things, but i just feel my body not enuf energy all the time. Always fell sleepy/malas.

HALLOWEEN

[YOUTUBE]baujr4CI60w[/YOUTUBE]

Overview

The game puts players in the role of one of four distinctive hero classes, tasked with fending off hordes of invading beasties by strategically summoning a variety of Defenses & Traps throughout their castle. But as much more than just a strategy game, players directly participate in the action-packed combat with their hero characters, while upgrading their statistics, gathering tons of loot and inventory items, customizing & upgrading equipment, and developing unique class abilities. All of this can be enjoyed in seamless online and split-screen local multiplayer, as players cooperate and compete through the story campaign and challenge missions to build the strongest heroes and achieve the highest scores in the kingdom.

Combining the depth of strategic gaming with the satisfying action of RPG character building, in a beautifully stylized ‘toon fantasy setting, Dungeon Defenders is designed to be a distinctly addictive, easy-to-play experience for casual and hardcore gamers alike!

Recommendation for Headset + Sound card for gaming

bontotalan — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:07:34 +0800

Hi, I have the lousiest speaker ever in the whole wide world and would like to ask what's a good headset for gaming

I've been reading alot about getting a headphone like Razer megalodon, and Siberia v2... The more i read the more "suckier" people say it is, Razer is overpriced and stuff..

Note : I never used a sound card before and really don't know what it's for anyway, in my mind, it's just that, headset -> on board sound card = sound

1. Does sound card really makes a difference?
2. Should i get a good headphone and forget about the sound card for gaming?
If yes, what headphone should i get?
If no, what headphone and sound card should i get?

Main games that i play are basically FPS games plus a few stratergy

CS 1.6
LFD 2
BF 3
LoL
Starcraft 2
Minecraft.... <--- this does not need good sound....

So yea.... any suggestion?

sorry for wall of text

PS : Oh and I do listen to music a lot
PSS : With a mic attached if possible

Internet Problem [Speed inconsistency] Need Help

bontotalan — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 09:28:49 +0800

Internet Problem [Speed inconsistency]
Unifi 5mbps with DIR-615 [stock router]

Hello, after raya holiday, my internet seems to be really inconsistent. I can't even do a speedtest sometimes because the speedometer would go 4mbps then 0.xxmbps then 1.xx mbps then back to 0. Sometimes the speedtest arrow would become lost. I'm not sure what's the problem here. Downloading can go up to 400kbps but sometimes it drops then back to high.

I've tried :-
Restarting computer [multiple times]
Restarting router [multiple times]
Unplug all unifi stuff for 5 min and back on

Yesterday the internet was fine, all the games i played [ online ] have low ping such as 16ms++
The day before and today it was haywire again where i get around 500ms-9000ms ping [yea its thousands]

Below is a pic of a VPN service. Yesterday all the malaysian servers are like 20ms and below and 0 packet loss. Los angeles server was like 200-300ms with 0 packet loss also. Today i check back, it was like this

[Note: uploading this pic[50kb+] , i am also having a hard time to upload it atleast 15 times, always fail and need multiple retries plus its so slow to upload]

PS: I forgot to off my router during raya, afraid lightning shocked the router or something. [yea unlucky me]

Any help on troubleshooting the problem?

Have anyone tried this?

Hotel 626

It's a really cool FLASH BASED game where you fight ghost and stuff, i haven't manage to complete all the levels yet since it's too scary for me xP

You can only play this game from 6pm - 6am , but u can play it even in the morning time which is 6am-6pm .... you just have to change the clock

NOTE : The loading time IS long but it's worth the wait since it is really cool... Seriously

How to play :-
Use the mouse to guide your character
i've never used webcam and mic before >.< never had any one of em

just a note

FIRST STAGE :- if you can't get trough
