I finally bought a new windows desktop computer after my Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Desktop spoiled two years ago.
The age gap between them is 12 years. Between 2008 and 2020, a lot of things have changed for the better.
The Razer Core X Chroma comes with a 0.5m Thunderbolt 3 cable. There is nothing wrong with the length, but the build quality of the cable is questionable.
I tested it with three MacBook Pros and all three experience frequent disconnections from the eGPU. It can be as frequent as once every 30 minutes. It is extremely irritating. Upon Googling, it seems to be a common problem.
Sudio Fem is Sudio’s third wireless earbuds after Sudio Niva and Sudio Tolv.
It is also the most expensive wireless earbuds that Sudio so far. Priced at S$219, it is available in four colors, White, Black, Blue, and Pink.
Saw one of my friend’s (Terry) Facebook posts on recommendations for a digital thermometer, and he ended up buying the InstamediQ Digital Forehead and Ear Thermometer from Amazon Singapore.
I joined the bandwagon and bought the same thermometer for S$48.91. It ships from Amazon.com, but since I am an Amazon Singapore Prime member, shipping is free for me.
The Lian Li TU150 doesn’t come with any dust filter at the bottom. As the bottom fan is responsible for the intake of air, it will be dusty.
Benjamin recommended me to get the DEMCiflex Dust Filter ST30 Double 120mm from Amazon.
For casing, I am looking at Lian Li TU150 in black. It is a mini-ITX chassis that supports four 120mm fans â two at the bottom, one in front, and one at the back.
They say Noctua has the best casing fans and hence it is expensive. It cost about US$29.90 (S$42) each.
Benjamin recommended me to go with AMD instead of Intel. So I will be getting the AMD Ryzen R-3700X.
For RAM, Benjamin recommended the G.Skill Trident Z Neo Series 32GB. It is a PC4-28800, 3,600 MHz, 288 pins RAM with a CAS Latency of CL16 (16-19-19-39) at 1.35V.
My secondary storage will be the SanDisk Ultra 3D NAND 2TB Internal SSD. I got it for US$209.99 (S$292) on Amazon. Shipping to Singapore is an additional US$4.71 (S$7).
Unlike the addlink S70 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD which uses NVMe connector to give you speed of up to 3,500 MB/s, this SanDisk Ultra 3D 2TB SSD is slightly slower as it uses SATA III. The advertised read speed is up to 560 MB/s and write speed is up to 530 MB/s.
