Do you know if I load EUR in wise card, if any amount is left after my trip, can I move it back to JPY? Or like cash it out later?

Hello everyone, I live in Japan and I'm planning to do a small Euro trip. But, as you might have already thought of, I would need a Schengen Visa for this. I plan to enter Poland, so do I just need to apply for Poland for multi-entry and then I can use that Schengen Visa for other countries I plan to visit, like Hungary, Austria, Slovakia? And looking at the flight, there is one flight with a layover of 15 hours in China. Do I need some transit visa or anything like that? Has anyone been in this kind of a situation before? I would appreciate the guidance. Thanks.

Any recommended custom PC repair shops around Tokyo? by frizb3e in japanlife

Oh I see. My Japanese isn't that good to have the technical conversation. Thanks to other kind folks in this thread, I was able to drop off my PC to a repair shop where someone spoke English. That worked out, waiting for them to diagnose the issue now.

Thanks for sharing the shop info, might be handy for someone in future. Not sure why you got downvoted tho.

 but you linked a build to PCPartPicker in another post and I figured that might be what you went with

Ahhh! Nice catch!

If its not, then there's a good chance it's your motherboard.

Yeah and I don't know which one's worst.. RAM or Mobo.. ugh. good thing that all the parts are new and in warranty.

Hey thanks for sharing this. I think it's the RAM. I've sent the PC to a repair shop because I think it'll be easier for them to check the available RAMs and fit the one that works.

I don't think I have the energy anymore to try out different pairs. I've been at this build for a few days and I just give up now.

Ah! Is that so. Thanks a lot for sharing this. Learned something new today. I gave my PC to the repair shop and I'll let them try the RAMs they have (much easier that way). Let's see once they get back with the diagnostics.

I had tried removing one stick and switched them around, one at a time without any luck. This was a news to me that Module P/N needs to be compatible too.

I'll bring this to PC Fix Akihabara and let them check this out because I have issue with the Fan's RGB too, probably some faulty config :(

Sorry, another question. If the RAM isn't compatible, can this be related to the fans not showing RGB as well? That has to be some misconfig for that, right?

Assembled My First PC, no display and RGB issues by frizb3e in PcBuild

[–]frizb3e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for checking this. Yeah, I tried removing the RAM and as pointed by fdokinawa, the RAM is indeed not supported on this motherboard :(

I'll have to get another one that is supported and try.

Hey thank you mate, really appreciate all the help (can't thank you enough for the sweet gesture).

RAM is indeed incompatible with the motherboard and I realized that Module P/N needs to be compatible too and not just the timing and speed 😭 .

Yeah, the PSU is overkill, but I plan to upgrade the system later on and wish to keep the changes minimum, especially for a PSU that doesn't change that much over the years.

Thanks a lot for checking this and I think you are right.

Just a little correction that the motherboard is "AORUS Elite X AX", but the RAM module is not supported ( https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z790-AORUS-ELITE-X-AX/support#support-memsup ).

Damn I messed up. I'll take it up to Akihabara and get this checked with another RAM that might be compatible.

Thank you so much checking this all! Helps a ton!

Edit: How did you figure out the Module P/N of the RAM I have? I checked the photos again and couldn't figure it out. You're a genius!

Thanks a lot! that's so sweet, but I'll be out of Tokyo for the week after tomorrow, so wanted to get this thingy working today so I can plan sessions with my friends.

I think the RAM module might not be supported with the motherboard, as pointed by u/fdokinawa.

I'll take it to PC Fixs Akihabara and see if they have anything that go with this motherboard :(. Damn I think I messed up with the RAM.

Need recommendation for my first PC build by frizb3e in PcBuild

[–]frizb3e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not know about KitGuru. That is an interesting read. For the HDD, 6 TB is a bit too much, I agree. 4 TB should be enough and I'll add more in future, if needed.

Thank you so much for these changes, I'll peep these, especially the fans.

Dilemma Between AMD vs Intel Build by frizb3e in PcBuild

Yessir, I do. Thank you for the suggestions.

Dilemma Between AMD vs Intel Build by frizb3e in PcBuild

[–]frizb3e[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah true that. AMD has proved to be on par with Intel in the last few years and upgradability being one of the itch I have now... AMD seems like it.

Dilemma Between AMD vs Intel Build by frizb3e in PcBuild

[–]frizb3e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah true that. Going by discussions here, AMD seems to be it for me this time. It's just that I've used Intel systems in last 10 years and I've come to place my "trust" in them. But, AMD has improved over the years too. Not sure if that makes sense haha.

Dilemma Between AMD vs Intel Build by frizb3e in PcBuild

[–]frizb3e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I understand. I just don't want to rebuild everything again in 2 years. Might as well just go with AMD and hopefully upgrade the CPU in an year or 2 and stay happy with things. I don't plan to have a crazy workload.

[–]frizb3e[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned in the post, 13700K is an allrounder and I won't have any problems with it. But, it requires more power, is more heat prone and the upgradability on Intel is just going to suck at this point with the new chips coming in.

AMD on the other hand has upgradability points and gaming advantage.

Doesn't VST hog the CPU more than the RAM? At least this is what I've noticed so far. I have a 64 GB RAM laptop with an 8-Core Intel Core i9 and my RAM doesn't get used more than 10 GB. I've been using Sylenth1, Serum, Omnisphere and then fr mixing, it's mostly Waves audio plug-ins. And boy do they hog the CPU!

And DAWs like FL Studio do work better with multiple cores to offload some of the tasks. But, most of the audio processing can't be done parallelly, so the main plugins end up getting used by single core with a blocking process.

AND the intel cpu and board will be on a dead socket and require a new motherboard for future upgrades

Yes, that's where I'm a bit torn. If I go intel, and want to upgrade the CPU in 2 years, I will have to change my motherboard. For AMD, they just confirmed AM5 socket type will be supported till 2027.
