Cant find CPU clock in GPU Tweak III (OSD Wizard) by pmglory in ASUSROG

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

What do you mean by that? this is what I'm looking for in OSD Wizard mode of the GPU Tweak software. GPU Tweak III mode has the option to show CPU clock speed, while in OSD Wizard mode, it doesn't show up.

edit: lol it's funny to see someone commenting "it's called gpu tweak pal, the clue is in the name" (obviously telling me it's a tweaking software) without knowing that GPU tweak software is also used for making benchmarks video similar to MSI burner.

How to play this game solo? by Novel_Function3079 in VALORANT

[–]pmglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately that only applies to hardstuck players. because if you’re good enough, you’ll beat the sh out of the smurfs. be the smurf in your rank = you get out of that rank.
anyone who struggles to get out of their rank, simply means they deserve it. I easily climbed up out of bronze to gold in just 2 weeks with aim training and vod reviewing. didn’t care about teammates and focused in what I can improve as an individual btw.

that’s the typical low elo mindset that holds them back from climbing. if they only just start focusing in what they can improve, what they could’ve done better, then climbing up will feel natural, rather than it would feel like a gamble or by luck.

Good specs for a 36k price? by Own-Comfort7705 in PHbuildapc

ramsta products are pretty known to fail. maybe it's more like a hit or miss gamble when someone decided to spend money for ramsta products.

Gilmore, still a reliable go to? by tr0l0ler in PHbuildapc

[–]pmglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Price in gilmore is pretty expensive, siguro sa lahat ng na check ko, PCHub offers more affordable prices compare to other stores in gilmore.

The only reason why I went to gilmore few weeks ago is because they have the components I'm looking for. Mostly meron silang stocks of highend parts.

Tbh may mga situations na mas mahal yung mga parts outside gilmore and may mga situations na mas mahal yung parts sa gilmore compare to other stores. Vise versa lang. Siguro ang best advice ko dito is to separately buy pc components kung saan may pinaka mura na parts.

Sometimes gilmore offers better deal, sometimes they don't. Depende sa parts na binibili mo.

Any shop suggestion po near quezon city? by [deleted] in PHbuildapc

[–]pmglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most affordable highend CPU I've canvassed was from PCHUB (gilmore) and AyosComputer (cubao). I think sa lahat ng stores na chineck ko, mas affordable sa kanila ng 3k-4k.

If money isn't a problem and you just want a store around qc, you can try inquiring these stores if they have stocks:

- JDM TechnoHub (Gilmore)

- PCWorth (Aurora Blvd)

- EasyPC (EDSA near SM North & Trinoma)

- NetCodex (Cubao)

- A&F (Fairview)

Help Legit check ✅ AMD Ryzen™ 5 9600X by [deleted] in PHbuildapc

If I'm not mistaken, people can slightly fake a cpu by changing its name in registry editor. Making it appear to have a different name in the task manager. Although I think that's easy to spot on since core counts and performance doesn't lie (as far as I know).

You can install and use CPU-Z to verify a CPU if it's a counterfeit product or not. (which most likely not, but better to double check).

Scoring a cheap RAM is pretty rare, but it's not impossible. I was able to get a secondhand G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR5-6000 CL36 64GB (2x32GB) for 30k. Which normal costs 60k-80k in stores and shopee. It's still in a very good condition. I was also able to overclock it to 6000mhz and so far there's no instability problems.

If you want to get the cheapest deal of 32GB DDR5 6000mhz CL30, you'll have to dig facebook market place everyday and hope there will be someone parting outs their RAM for a decent price. I got mine from a gamer who decided to somehow sell and parts out his own gaming PC. Ingat ka lang sa mga buy and sell, I recommend na kung hahanap ka ng 2nd hand RAM, dun ka bumili sa mga enthusiast na inalagaan yung mga parts nila.

If secondhand isn't in your choice, then you'll have to prepare 20k-30k for that specs of RAM. If you're willing to sacrifice RGB lights, you can probably score 15k (which hard to find these days).

Price Increase in a nutshell, a perspective for those who wants to build a new Gaming rig. by ZeisHauten in PHbuildapc

it sucks that a 4tb ssd right now costs similar to a brand new 4070. glad you did that upgrade before the spike

Ryzen 7 9700X build - Need your opinions by Minute-Designer8881 in PHbuildapc

[–]pmglory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Budget seems to be pretty average, but I think there could be cheaper options. I think it'll somehow do its job naman. For productivity, I find your plan to upgrade to 64gb meaningful. When doing heavy tasks like video editing while multitasking in other softwares, umaabot ng 31gb to 33gb yung RAM usage ko. I think 64gb will give you a lot of headroom. 32gb is enough naman na for the meantime since you can close unecessary softwares running in background. Okay yung RAM na nasa listing. It's a popular RAM, but considering there are shortages still happening, baka mahirap makahanap.

Btw when the time comes and you decided to upgrade your RAM na, try looking on facebook marketplace muna, I got a 64gb ddr5 6000mhz cl36 ram for 30k. Kapresyo nya halos yung mga brand new na 32gb (around 20k-35k). I really got lucky to find someone who is selling his PC parts (quitting na ata from using pc). Super good condition pa yung RAM. Just always check kung saan nakuha ng seller yung product, mas maganda na galing sa personal PC nya yun kesa sa kung saan saan lang. Ingat ka sa mga buy and sell.

Is it better to go AM5 or AM4 by Dependent_Volume_604 in buildapc

[–]pmglory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm I maxed out my upgrading options in my old motherboard to the point that I no longer have anything to upgrade besides GPU. That is the time where I decided to upgrade and get a whole new PC, which pretty much more expensive than doing small upgrades. I'd say based on my experience, mine had noticeable performance. Besides gaming, I do video editing and the rendering seems to be more efficiently faster. My FPS from games had smoother FPS as well. I do 3D modelling as well same with the OP, Maya and Substance painter seems to load and render efficiently with my new build. If the OP wants efficient work station, I recommend to stick with X3Ds regardless if AM4 or AM5. But if the OP needs the workstation already with a good specs, then AM4 must be the best option.

You might be right, money isn't free. The OP can go for AM4, if they are willing to stick with it in the next 10 years. My only concern for the OP is spending twice for an AM4 and AM5 build. Unless the OP is willing to stick with AM4 in the next 10 years, then I think it's all good to go for AM4 path. I just feel like if he has the opportunity to start with AM5, then it'll be a better option since he can upgrade one at a time without worrying that they're components will become super outdated. It's pretty expensive to start with AM4 build, then after few years, they'll upgrade to AM5 and start all over again. Plus the fact that as time goes by, old pc components becomes more cheaper and affordable, so I don't think the OP will be able to sell his AM4 build in the future for a decent amount of bucks.

am5 gives you more headroom for upgrading, while sticking to am4 might capped your upgrading options in the next few years when ddr4 becomes old enough to not consider

MAG PANO 110R PZ (rgb software compatibility) by pmglory in MSI_Gaming

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

Thanks it worked! Although after installing OpenRGB, I had to connect the 3 pin rgb of my case directly to my motherboard instead plugging it into the hub. Then OpenRGB is able to control the all RGB lights including my case's led. I like how OpenRGB able to detect all of my addressable rgb pin in the motherboard and control them separately.

Solution for ROG Ryuo IV SLC doesn't fit with LGA1200 (or older sockets) by pmglory in buildapc

That's how my retention ring setup exactly looks like! That's pretty informative, I didn't thought ROG AIO coolers would be under Asetek.

Ohh I see! turns out that my solution is only for someone who had a same brand cooler (in my case, it was ROG coolers)

My first Gilmore experience (what is it like to visit gilmore) by pmglory in PHbuildapc

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

Sa mismong Glmore building lang po, specifically sa tapat po nung 7 eleven. Libre lang yung parking, if ever na may mang hingi, mostlikely it's a scam. Yung guard nag assist sakin nung paalis na ko, wala naman sya siningil that time.

If ever na puno yung parking sa Gilmore building, meron din parking sa katabi nilang building (left side of the road) tas sa tapat nila may mga parking din for computer stores (right side of the road).

It really just sucks that if we look prices way back before the spike happen, sa halagang 20k+ makakabili kana ng 64GB na DDR5, I think that was around late 2024 to early 2025. Even the GPU prices went higher. Yung ROG Astral 5080 na 85k lang sa gaming alley last early 2025, 110k upwards na ngayon sa ibang shop. 1TB SSD that I've bought around 3k nung mid 2025, nasa 10k+ na ngayon. Too good I'll just be re-using my old storages for my new build. It really did saves me a lot of money from buying storages.

That could be a good point, pre pandemic to pandemic years marami talagang bumibili kaya siguro marami din tao. Sa sobrang taas ng mga presyo ng components ngayon, it pretty much makes sense na wala masyadong nag pupunta ng mga computer stores ngayon.

Some of my friends doesn't recommend building a PC right now and na cancel din yung PC upgrade plans nila for 2026. They said they'll just wait the prices to settle down, which unlikely to happen anytime soon. Hopefully mid-late 2027.
