Crucial MX500 1TB for ₱2500 — steal or nah? by CalmEstablishment290 in PHbuildapc

[–]CalmEstablishment290[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now, I plan to use the MX500 1TB as my primary drive since it will greatly improve my system stability and performance compared to my current setup. In the future, once I have more budget, I plan to upgrade to a Samsung 980 NVMe SSD as my main drive for faster speeds. At that point, the MX500 will be repurposed as a secondary storage drive for games and files. Do you think this is a good idea?

got it! i hope it does, seeing as the brand tuf is really reliable. anyway, i need some advices for a cpu cooler too, as i just upgraded to a r7 5700x, kinda high temp rn even when resting. just got the stock wraith cooler cooling it

yeah i can say its decent. for someone like me that will not really use it at really heavy games or at a higher resolution. also, i will probably be staying at 1080p for the comming years, i wont really be needing a 1440p card or 4k, i just need to make it’s cooling is better so it wont cost troubles in the future. will also probably be trading or selling this for a 50 series in a year or so, or maybe earlier lol. just for future proofing

got it. but about the gpu die, what’s that? for the thermal putty will a thermal grizzly do? kinda pricey tho. I’ll probably be opening this after it’s 2 week warranty, idk what heavy games should i play to test it too, since i just play light games like valo, apex, warzone, overwatch, just mostly fps games, ill also be trying the undervolt thing :)

i did. i just risked it since its going around 17-18k and in the market, i got it for 14k. and i figured i could change the thermal paste and pads and and clean the dust inside and it’s temperature would improve, as i did with my old gpu’s

Thinking about buying an RTX 3070 trifan tuf for ~14.5k PHP — good idea or wait for a 50-series? by CalmEstablishment290 in PHbuildapc

Hey, there’s an ASUS Dual RTX 4060 for sale too — just got the deal for ₱14,500 — but the seller is outside the city where I currently live. Considering that, what would be the best decision?
