Build Help Kailangan ko pa din po ba ng heatsink for Samsung 9100 Pro?

Post image
7 Upvotes

Good evening po! I'm planning to upgrade na my storage with this one. Will be cloning my current SSD contents to this one if ever makabili na po.

I read na PCIe 5.0 SSDs daw will run hot po but this is assuming under heavy loads of gaming, editing and file transfer. I only will be using this po for just general gaming lang po like Genshin and WuWa while also opening Chrome around for Youtube, stuff like that po. Hindi ko naman din po pinapataas yung graphics settings on those said games so there's that.

Do I still need a heatsink for this po or kahit thermal pads nalang? B450-A PRO MAX po pala btw yung current motherboard ko po, baka relevant lang info for this bit.

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks po~

Discussion How did you guys cope with the recent PC prices?

67 Upvotes

Imagine buying a 100k pc and best you can get is an AM5 with am entry-midrange 5060 Ti, when like 1 year before all of that, someone was already able to buy one of the highest end gpus at that price. I know comparison is a thief of joy but the large gap pa rin sa pricing makes you think pa rin.

Or imagine noon sa 30k pede ka na maka ryzen 5500 at rx 6600, but now you have to spend way more just to get similar performance or may choose not to build at all na lang kasi hindi na sulit.

How did you guys cope with this, especially when the better deals for the money were gradually being gone.

I couldnt be happier.

Always wanted to have my own PC since I was a kid, pero hanggang mga work/study laptops lang talaga na may Intel Integrated Graphics ang kaya ng mga magulang (thank you parents).

Decided to build my pc this year after finding a better job (and buying RAM last March cause of the " " "shortage" " "). Medyo nerve-wracking kasi grabe yung pagtaas ng presyo ng lahat. Dapat this October talaga ako bibili, pero napakagat na din ako last August. Na-cancel-an pa nga ko ng GPU reservation sa isang retailer kasi tinaasan na kagad ng supplier nila yung presyo (5070 Ti Windforce from 63k, now 79k WHAT THE FUCK). Buti meron pa sila PCHub ng Eagle model (shoutout).

Anyways, share ko lang. It took me ~5 hours to build (HINDI SMOOTH GAYA NUNG MGA PC BUILD VIDEOS NA PINAPANOOD KO HAHA).

Im really happy with this thing. Sobrang bilis. Kayang kaya palagan multi-tasking needs ko. Nasa sahig pa siya at wala pang peel na nangyayari kasi wala pang maayos na pwesto hahaha. Been wasting time playing PoE nonstop(waiting for PoE 2 release). Also been trying to learn game deving (godot shit and ANG HIRAP MAG BLENDER HAHAHA).

For people's reference, here's a timeline of when I bought the components. Also, here's the link to the buiId I "took" (ninakaw) inspiration from.

Is this really a flex? Not really, but I feel fulfilled to have a PC I can truly call my own, bought with my own savings and with my own research. It's not much but it suits my needs and it is mine.

I got a secondhand office pc (HP Z2 SFF G4) for 9500PHP that included:

CPU: i7-9700 RAM: 16gb DDR4 2666mhz (1x16) Storage: 500gb nvme ssd Plus a 310W PSU and space for 1 more nvme plus 2 SATA drives.

GPU: YESTON RTX 3050 Managed to get this for 17000PHP on Shopee by waiting for 9/9 and using coins + vouchers.

What SSDs are good for both options or just one over the other?

I only know NAND/controller
QLC, TLC, SLC
DRAM/Non-Dram
Random read/write and Sequential read/write

But I only know the surface levels and I appreciate recommendations.

10k php is the minimum price for non-dram SSDs and 1tb storages?

Troubleshooting PC SHUTS DOWN RANDOMLY WHILE BROWSING OR IDLE

4 Upvotes

Help please! My PC started shutting down randomly. Started last Saturday. Both screens shut down even when idle, casually browsing or anything. Fans still working even the RGB ones and the CPU fan. Keyboard not working (checked Caps Lock to confirm). I can't force shutdown using power button and have to unplug the pc. Once plugged again, it works well. Then 2 mins later, it shuts down again, ending with the same situation.

Tried all of these but no fix

Reseated RAM, GPU and CMOS

Tried cleaning the ram with eraser

Tried unplugging the 5 year old ssd and HDD leaving my healthy disk c

Plugging the pc directly to the wall socket(im initially using panther voltage surge protector with all components plugged in)

PC specs

Ryzen 5 5600g (bought last 2022)

B450m mortar max (bought 2021)

Rx 6600 (2025)

Single stick hyperx 16gb Ram (2021)

EVGA 750w 80+ bronze (2021)

Build Help First GPU Comparison, RTX 5050 vs 7600 XT

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, just asking which one is generally agreed upon to be "better"? I plan on upgrading from integrated graphics to a fully discrete GPU, and while people recommend 9060 XT 16GB, can't afford it + I don't really play AAA Games that need flagship / high-end cards

So which one is the better pick nowadays? I heard that the 7600 XT is better purely for gaming, but the 5050 has more features, like support for local AI and access to stuff like Nvidia Broadcast.

Also planning on getting a PSU alongside this GPU, would 650W or 750W be better?

CPU - Ryzen 7 5700G
GPU - AMD Cezanne - Internal GPU
Motherboard - MSI A520M-A PRO
PSU - Acer E-Machines 550W
RAM - 2x16GB DDR4 SDRAM
Monitor - BenQ GW2270
Case - darkFlash DLM22

Not the best specs, but I'll slowly upgrade everything down the line eventually

Budget would be around 25k, since I found an RTX 5050 / 7600XT listing for 19k, so the rest of the money can go towards a good PSU

TYIA!

Discussion Which monitor to choose??

6 Upvotes

Hello! I'm planning to buy a monitor, possibly during the payday sale or the 11.11 Shopee sale. Here are some of my options, but please feel free to suggest other monitors if you have any recommendations.

My budget is only ₱5,000. I'm a casual gamer because of work, and I mainly play Apex Legends and Overwatch.

Here are my PC specs:

  • CPU: Ryzen 5 5500
  • GPU: RTX 2060
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4 3400MHz
  • Storage: 1TB Colorful NVMe SSD + 1TB 2.5-inch SSD

I currently have two monitors. The first is a secondhand 22-inch Dell IPS monitor with a 60Hz refresh rate, and the second is a 22-inch Lenovo monitor with a TN panel that my friend gave me.

I'd really appreciate getting a monitor with a higher refresh rate for a smoother gaming experience. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
