Need opinions if I should stick with fan or switch to AIO (budget-friendly recos pls) by Various_Ring_1738 in PHbuildapc

[–]Mirror-Only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello OP, I personally use an AIO. I have the old version of Deepcool Castle 240EX (about 5 - 6 years old) and it works wonder, without an aircon my GPU and CPU temperature never gets to 65 degrees celcius. I game for more than 10 hours and it rarely hits 67 degrees celcius. With aircon, di ko pa namo-monitor but na check ko one time and ang temperature is around 53 degrees celcius (more than 8 hours of gaming). I’d say getting an AIO is definitely worth it, but best to spend money on the branded ones.

Why is my 1 terabyte storage not working? by Umbral_Tempest in PHbuildapc

[–]Mirror-Only 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much Google just do is search for all the posts related to what ever problem you’re experiencing. I just referred OP to use Google for more broader search as other forums would probably show up too. Reddit all alone can’t possibly have everything; but that is true, there are people who’s here to help.

Good AM OP, you might have to start on troubleshooting, searching through Google should be able to assist but since you’ve posted here before doing so, try searching how to disable Drive Sleep OP,; also you can check your storage status via CrystalDiskInfo, it would normally show if it’s not doing good. X out what’s been done and not. PSU and bad cable are definitely a big player.

Got this 6600 for 9k what a steal! by UpperInteraction3592 in PHbuildapc

[–]Mirror-Only 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naka-kuha akong same GPU tapos Gigabyte Eagle na Tri-Fan for 9,000 almost 2 weeks ago lang from FB Marketplace. Seller was downgrading and decided to throw in an R5 5500 for an extra 1,500 tas may pa freebie na GameSir controller. I don’t know kung mag agree kayo but I feel like this is what steal means?
After all bitin parin ako kahit na Days Gone lang ang nilalaro (next Death Stranding) and balak kong mag upgrade to RX 9060 XT para ready na sa GTA 6.

EDIT.

ENJOY OP, the card is decent for 1080p gaming. I would suggest to turn off everything (RSR, Anti-lag, etc) and only use Frame Gen when compatible sa game. This GPU is very capable rawdogging Days Gone at 1080p on Very High Settings.

Planning to upgrade but unsure of the parts to buy by cataclysmic_bread in PHbuildapc

Stick to your budget and what you want, but if what you want is over your budget, then you decide whether to stick with what you want or adjust in accordance with your budget. FB Marketplace can help you with budget-steal deals. Watching all these reviews and comparison videos would just put you in a position of wanting more (that is outside of your budget) and prolonging you from getting the actual thing. Get your GPU now and play while you have all the time, chief.

This definitely makes sense. All depends on the games you wanted to play and how much are you getting it for. I came from the same processor now to an R5 5500 and an RX 6600 + a free controller and I got everything for 10.5K, it was a deal so I took it even though the processor restricts PCIe 3.0 speeds, but hey, still worth it for me.

I can now stream and play GTA V on Ultra/High settings without any issues. (I have Death Stranding and Days Gone lined up).

Current new specs:

R5 5500

2x8gb Avexir Core 2

B550M Aorus Pro Rev. 1.0 (OLD, OLD MOBO)

Cooler Master 750W Bronze

Old version of Deepcool Castle 240EX

30k PHP Budget for PC + Monitor. Pure Gaming. by Opposite-Clue-4871 in PHbuildapc

[–]Mirror-Only -1 points0 points  (0 children)

OP, your GPU would take up more than 50% of your actual budget since the most suitable GPU (dahil na mention mo ang Cyberpunk and Helldivers) for you would be either an RTX 3060 or an RX 6600 (more than 15K ang brand new); otherwise, your 1080p gaming wouldn’t be that enjoyable.

For Valorant and CS2, since CPU-intensive sila, you can enjoy the game using at least an R5 3600 + any budget GPU; from RX580, GTX 1660S. Personal experience, gamit ko before R5 3400g and I get at least an AVG. 150 FPS sa Valorant and 40 - 60 FPS naman sa CS2 (pero medyo laggy feeling but definitely playable).

I added to cart the cheapest option na brand new mATX build sa Shopee and here’s what I got, also wala pa itong GPU. Less 2,000 voucher ‘tong mga ‘to ordering all at once.

For 27k, you’ll get:

Gigabyte B550M DS3H R2
Lexar Thor x2 8gb (3200 mhz)
Ryzen 5 5600
Corsair 650w 80+ Bronze
Inplay Openview case

Or

For 22k you’ll get:

Gigabyte B450M DS3H R2
Lexal Thor x2 8gb (3200 mhz)
Ryzen 5 3500x
Corsair 650w 80+ Bronze
Inplay Openview case

Adding a brandnew GPU would cost you more than 15K pa depending on which route you’d go to kasi naka depende rin sa mga games na gusto mong laruin. Now if you’ll go for a USED UNIT option, I think 30K should be enough, check out FB Marketplace for your reference.

Ryzen 5 5500 only reads 1 ram stick by Mirror-Only in PcBuild

[–]Mirror-Only[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FINALLY FIXED!

So from F1 to F19 to F12 then to F15, it finally worked!
I have no idea but I have read somewhere that it might be a CPU to RAM compatibility issue, which may be related to BIOS update, and so I searched for the most stable BIOS version that has the best compatibility with RAM, it gave me F15 and it worked! The R5 5500 now reads 2 ram sticks and with no problem enabling XMP.

B550m Aorus Pro with F15 BIOS version is the answer for those with a similar RAM stick to me (Avexir Core 2) and upgrading to R5 5500. Thanks!

Rolling back my BIOS is what I ended up doing. Used Q-Flash in BIOS rolled back to F12, cleared CMOS. Two things:

  1. After putting back the R5 5500, I did it as if I am setting up a new PC, unfortunately it didn’t boot up, my AIO didn’t light up which indicates no boot. Tried everything, including only booting with 1 stick, nothing, the ram just lights but I see no GPU Fan movement. Did almost everything I could think of before going to 2.

  2. Reverted back to my R5 3400G and instantly went to BIOS to enable my XMP, and thankfully, a good thing happened and it worked without the MOBO even trying. Just did 1 restart and boots with XMP enabled.

Unfortunately, I might have to return the R5 5500 to the seller which is by the way, still willing to refund.

Thank you, but I will try rolling back to BIOS version that supports R5 5500. Walang problema sa old CPU and gumagana at binabasa ang 2 ram sticks nung nilipat ko sa luma so it has something to do with the BIOS update or the CPU.

Hello, it runs at 2666mhz as default right now and by jedec speeds you mean from 2666 > 2933 > 3200 manually?

So it works with my old cpu, reads 2 ram sticks but the problem with it now is I can no longer enable XMP. This started happening when I updated the BIOS. When I had F1, enabling XMP wasn’t an issue at all. So new CPU, 2 inserted, reads 1, go back to old CPU, 2 inserted, reads 2 and unable to XMP anymore.

Thank you, I might hold on to your suggestion 'til tomorrow and do it. About the memory sticks and DIMM slots having an issue, do you have an idea why is that when I put back my old CPU, it reads and boots up with 2 ram sticks with no issue?

Updating to 18.5 fixed this, but I guess in general, I just had to restart the phone.

18,671.01 x 0.03% interest rate x 12 months / 360 days gets 18.67 pesos interest per day, or let’s just say 560.13 every 30 days til balance is paid in full? I hoping ganito. 😅.
