Thats true, the middling sd 778G that they used in the phone 1 was really disappointing and based on the rumors the phone 2 will start at around 799usd. I do want to switch back to samsung but their high price tag is really just you buying the brand then the phone lol. Anyway thanks for the information you gave me.

My practice is still to DDU for every time I change/upgrade my GPU. There was one time I upgraded from a gt1030 to my 1660ti and did a clean reinstall through geforce experience only to experience screen flickering. But when i used DDU the flickering disappeared and never came back up to this day. Also doing DDU only takes up at most 5 minutes and imo it is worth the time

thanks for this as for the 5g well it doesn't really exist here in my country as of the moment so i dont really care about it right now

Thanks for the insight, I was actually looking at the zenfone 9 too since one of my older phones was the zenfone max pro m1 (I really loved this phone given the very cheap price during that time). However, when I learned that asus still support their phones for at most 2-3 years (youre lucky if it gets to 3), I kind of backed out. As of the Oneplus 10 series I did saw the reviews and actually watched that wan show episode you are referring to and I think he was referring to the oneplus phones before the 11 but I am not really sure. Samsung is way over my budget the S23 cost around 770 usd here in my country for the 128gb model. I am also actually waiting for the nothing phone 2 but I am still skeptical about the company since this will just be their second phone

unfortunately no, since they are only available through online purchase here in the Ph. Do you have any idea though about the region unlock if it affects the performance of the phones once it gets region unlocked? I can't seem to find anything about the performance comparison of a oneplus 11 before and after region unlocking

Hey guys I need your help as to which of these 2 is a better purchase. I was able to find a deal for a Pixel 7 w/256gb @~555usd while for the oneplus 11 w/256gb @~630usd. I am a bit worried regarding the overheating issue of the pixel 7 because of the high ambient temperature of where I live. Meanwhile on the oneplus I am kind of worried about it being region locked but I was able to talk to the seller and they told me that it can be region unlocked for free but they don't know if this will affect the phones performance. This will be my first time trying out a phone from either brand. All I know as of the moment based on reviews is that the oneplus is faster w/ the sd gen 2 and a 100w charger but the pixel produces better photos and has a cleaner os

So as the title suggest I am currently looking for a new phone and I am torn between those 3. The pixel and oneplus phones are already in the market and I can't really decide which one to choose. The pixel has better cameras but a smaller battery size, worse charging speed, only uses 1 nano and 1 esim (which is not really that known yet here in the Philippines) and I am not really sure if the tensor g2 even supports aptx. Meanwhile, the oneplus has worse camera but has a 100w charging albeit no wireless charging and supports 2 nano sim cards. The pixel is more expensive in my country but I have been seeing a lot issues and bugs about the oxygen os that was once one of the best android os. I am also considering waiting for the nothing phone 2 but I am not sure if it will be much more expensive than the phone 1 and there is still no release date yet. Which one do you guys think is the better buy or decision that I should make? Thank for the help!

Hi I am planning to buy a 96% keyboard that will be modded in the future. Since I am new to this area I dont really have any idea about the quality of different keyboards. As for now I just want to have a keyboard that will have a universal switch socket. So far in my research I have found out 2 96% keyboards (I am in the Philippines btw), they were the Royal Kludge RK100 and Keychron K4, priced at 2700 php (~52usd) and 5100 php (~98usd) respectively. They both have a universal switch socket but the rk100 comes with a prelubed stabs only, abs kecaps and plastic houseing while the k4 comes with a lubed stabs, switch and aluminum housing and pbt keycaps. TBH I dont really care about the keycaps because I already have some pbt keycaps in my possession but I just don't know that if the price premium of the k4 is worth it or should I just opt for the rk100 since I do plan on modding and changing the switches in the future. BTW other model recommendation are welcome as long as they dont exceed 100usd.

thanks for the info, really appreciate it. Will save up the money for now then

ohhh so does this mean that even though my mugen 5 doesnt really get hot during game loads or stress test is also normal? I have recently noticed that the heatsink itself is not getting warm even if the cpu temps is already around 80c. I dont know why that is the case but when I tried the snowman t4 from my sisters pc the heatsink was noticeably warm when the cpu temp goes up sorry for sounding like a dumb person right now, its just that I didnt expect the very high difference in temperatures from an r5 2600 to an r5 3600 I only upgraded to the 3600 since my uncle offered it to me for a very cheap price

I want to improve my temps a bit, as you might remember from my old thread, I purchased a mugen 5 black edition and it just performs on par with a snowman t6 which means that I am getting 70c just by playing games like valorant and pcbs, I would like to go for air coolers but unfortunately most of the aircoolers around 2-3k php at out of stock in my country right now, the next best air cooler I can find that can within the 2-3k php budget I have is the deepcool as500 but it doesnt fit in my case P.S. most reviews that I have watched showed that an arctic freezer 34 esports should be enough however, most of the tests in those reviews have ambient temperatures around 21-23c and the ambient temperature in my country is 29-35c

Hey guys, so I decided to sell to buy an aio for me ryzen 5 3600 but my budget is only around 2000-3500php (~40-69USD), as of now I have found 3 240mm aio that fit this price range in my country but I dont know which one is the most worth it among them I do prefer argb aios or no rgb at all since the rgb header in my mobo is already used.

I am using hwinfo64 for monitoring temps, voltages and clock speed and prime 95 stress test might be too much but I am also getting temps up to 70c while playing pc building sim. I seem to notice too that the heatsink of the cooler is not getting that warm even during this temps. I have tried tightening the ram side and the vrm side screw first with 2 of the remounts that I have done but temps are still the same.

well I tried to put it at 3.9ghz @ 1.2v and it immediately reached 90c when I ran prime 95 so I dont really know what to do about it anymore

ohhh okay, I guess all I can do now is to tinker with voltages in the bios, anyway thanks for the insight it is really helpful
