August/September 2020 Order lists and
deals
Its been
awhile and I apologise for the lack of updates, I was doing a lot of overtime
during the Pandemic period and I didn’t have time to update. All the package
arrived in early September.
Things have started
improving a lot in the recent months and I stumbled accoss multiple deals,
however this time I will be talking about the order that I made during the
period.
The first
item which I will be talking about is the Cases that I got.
Both cases
were from Tecware and both the cases are unique in their own ways.
The one on
the left (the Forge M) is a case that prioritizes airflow. It has a meshed
front and top that enable smooth airflow through the mesh. It also enables for
easier cleaning as the mesh can be removed easily. It also comes with 4 Orbis
F1 fans from tecware pre-installed. The fans are ARGB and they enable the user
to have a colour changing experience during the building of the PC.
The one on
the right (the Void M) is a case that looks more stylish with the tempered
glass front penal. Its more of a showcase PC that shows others the awesome
interior of the PC along with the parts. Similarly, like the Forge M, it comes
with 3 Orbis F1 fans from Tecware Pre-installed.
The second
item is the Zotac RTX 2060 OC Edition (Picture shown below).
The graphics
card comes in a typical box like how Zotac package their graphics card.
However, opening it reveals an awesome sight as shown in the photo below.
The front
shroud is greyish gunmetal like with black places at locations. It was similar
to the Zotac GTX 1660S , however the card comes with a backplate that helps to
dissipate heat easily and with Zotac’s Icestorm technology, the card runs
cooly.
The Third
Product that I ordered is a processor, specifically the Ryzen 7 3700X.
This
processor is one of the best price to performance CPU in the market. With 8
Cores and 16 Threads, one will be able to multi-task easily and still able to
stream and play games with ease. It has a base clock of 3.6Ghz and a boost
clock of up to 4.4Ghz. With the B550m boards being released, future proofing is
so much easier and overclocking it to 4.1Ghz or 4.2Ghz on all cores helps to
increase the performance by a huge margin.
Pairing up
with the 3700X is a B550 board of course. It’s the B550m Steel Legend from ASRock.
Packing a
(8+2) Power Phase design, it helps to provide efficient power transfer for the
CPU. The board looks super amazing with the addition with an M.2 heatsink which
is made of metal to dissipate heat easily. The heatsink on top of the VRMs
allow smooth heat transition away to enable cool temperatures. It’s a good buy
overall for a combo with the 3700X.
The next
photo will showcase a budget motherboard for the last project I would be doing
in the future.
Enter the
ASRock B450m Pro4. It is a board that packs a (3+3) Power Phase design and its
great for budget builds and people who are starting off in PC building. It also
has 4 RAM slots for future upgradability and it even has a M.2 slot for an Nvme
M.2 SSD for fast boot up speeds.
Next on the
list is a couple of Nvme M.2 SSDs. Below are the Klevv Cras C710 512GB Nvme M.2
SSDs
These pair
of SSDs are the most bang for your buck. Costing as low as 50dollars for the
256GB ones, they give out a good read and write speed of 1950Mb/s read speed
and 1250Mb/s for write speed. They load up windows as fast as 8seconds, so it
really helps the owner to start doing their work or playing their games
quickly.
Here comes
one of the more unique things in the order for the month. Its case fans,
specifically the Tecware Orbis F1 set.
These set of
fans comes with a controller that can be synced to all motherboard programmes.
Be it Asus Aura Sync, MSI’s Mystic Light or ASRock’s Polychrome Sync, it all
works as long it is connected to the ARGB header on the motherboard. As it is
ARGB (addressable RGB), colours are interchangeable. Hence, it allows for more
unique, fun, and interesting building experiences for the user.
Connectivity
is also an issue with certain customers, so in the order list , there are 2
sets of Intel AX200 Pcie Wifi Kit.
This Wifi
Kit enables the user to not just use any of their Wifi at home, but the 5Ghz
variant of the Wifi. Also known as Wifi 6, the speeds of the Wifi enable fast
download speeds and a stable gaming experience. Not only does it come with
wifi, but it comes with Bluetooth too. It allows the user to connect their
Bluetooth Devices such as their wireless earpiece to their PC for an awesome
experience.
When there
is a good CPU and Motherboard combo, one must be prepared to have a cooler to
enable smooth airflow to vent heat out from the CPU quickly. So here are they,
the ID-Cooling SE224XT V2 ARGB.
This cooler
has 4 Heatpipes that allows for smooth heat dissipation. It also comes with an
ARGB fan that synchronizes with the rest of the PC if one is using motherboard
Sync. It also comes with a 120mm fan that dissipate heat from the heatpipes
quickly.
It will not
be an order list without power supplies. So, the ones that I picked out this time
is the same as the ones I ordered back in April. It’s the FSP Hyper K 600W
Non-Modular PSU.
Do not let
this random box fool you. It is a 600W PSU with a 5year warranty. The 600 Watts
is sufficient for a standard entry to mid end PC and it supplies enough power
to all the parts. Hence, this PSU has been a standard pick for me in all these
years.
This is
apparently the last item on the list. So, I am going to summarize all the parts

one gets it from.
