Kingston UV500 SSD Upgrade Kit Review + How to install an SSD on an old system

October 17, 2018June 5, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

Back at the day, getting a solid state drive as small as a 60GB drive will set you back around $100 for such a small capacity, but nowadays, you can get twice that capacity for just a fraction of the price, making it really viable to grab one regardless of the system you’re planning to run it with. With an SSD, you can easily revive an old system and use it for productivity, office works and stuff like that without needing to spend a ton of money upgrading the rest…

Ryzen 5 2600X Build with Nvidia 9500GT – ShopzadaPH PC Build 2018

October 7, 2018June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

Do you think pairing an old Nvidia 9500GT with a brand new AMD Ryzen 5 2600x is a good idea? Yeah, I don’t think so as well. On the other hand, do you think getting a cheaper Ryzen 5 2400G with built-in Vega graphics and then upgrading to the Ryzen 5 2600x down the line a better option? I’m not sure about that either. These are some of the questions that lingered in my mind when I was planning for this build. I don’t have a ton of budget and I…

Rakk Anyag Frost Review – Cheapest Black and White Micro-ATX Case

October 3, 2018June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

Since I’ve started planning for my PC Build I’ve set my eyes on the Tecware Nexus M because of it’s small Micro-ATX form factor and a desirable black and white color scheme. However, by just looking into its front panel it’s pretty obvious that the airflow is somehow restricted and it being a small case certainly won’t help with the overall airflow. Luckily, I was able to find a better alternative with virtually the same specifications in the form of the Rakk Anyag Frost Micro-ATX case. Almost the same design both in…

At this point, I’ve already reviewed more than a couple of Tronsmart cables from a dedicated Lightning cable with the Tronsmart LTA up to a dedicated USB C cable with the Tronsmart ATC, but what we have today might be the only cable you’re going to need. The Tronsmart LAC10 is a 3 in 1 cable that primarily is a micro USB cable but with adapters for both lightning and USB Type C. So basically with this, you can pretty much charge all types of devices with a single cable. MY EARLY…

September 16, 2018June 9, 2019 Marvin Gabriel

Until Apple finally decides to ditch their propriety lightning port for USB Type C we’re going to be stuck with the very fragile and limited use lightning cable.
