1. Check mo kung may sumasabit na wire sa mga fans.
2. Check mo yung fan ng GPU mo kung umiikot ng maayos.
3. Pakinggan mo kung sa PSU nanggagaling yung ingay.
4. Check mo rin HDD mo kung dun nanggagaling ang ingay.

Yes. Pwede. Magiging main video compute is yung gpu card mo na instead of iGPU

Kung marunong ka sir magbaklas ng fan from the GPU without damaging the card itself, go for it. Need lang ng lubrication on the axle, pero if inde ka confident ilapit mo n lng sa technician but be prepared to shell out payment.

This is not a computer troubleshooting issue. Instead, I'd like to get your opinion if I should already upgrade to Windows 11. I've had my Asus laptop for more than a year now, it has Windows 10 and so far no problems encountered with it. I'm satisfied with how it's performing. Now Windows is prompting me to upgrade to Windows 11. I haven't upgraded so far 'coz I'm concerned if there are still bugs on it. So what do you think, mag upgrade na ba ako?

It's usually not recommended to upgrade OS if you are happy with what you have, only upgrade if the next upgrade has a feature you need or plan on using

Windows 10 is still supported until 2025 ata?

Update mo lang sa time na walang nakapilang work and day off para may time ka i-revert back to Windows 10.

So far, my problem with Windows 11 are
- the start menu (Very basic. I installed Start11 from Stardock)
- context menu. Kung may app kang umaasa sa context menu for quick action, magiging 2 steps na yan. Win11 context menu then select Show more options for old windows context menu.

Sabi nga nila, "don't fix that ain't broke". 

Supported pa Win10 hanggang 2025 kaya wag mo na lang pansinin yang Win11 upgrade. 
Hindi pa rin kumpleto ang Win11, wala pa yung android apps support.

Medyo enjoy ko na yung Windows 11 but syempre di ka pwede mag drag ng files sa app on taskbar. Previous Windows can do this. Haaaaayz.

For me, I'd stick with Windows 10 for the meantime kahit very tempting yung free upgrade to Windows 11 that comes with Free Bugs and Headaches.

Just because it says connected, it already worked. Before doing anything else, did you check if your IP really changed? Also, for a variety of reasons, websites, online services, governments, and even ISPs restrict VPN traffic. Depending on the VPN service you choose, you might not be able to access specific websites and online resources because not all VPNs have the ability to circumvent these limitations.

Simply connecting to a server with the correct VPN is sufficient to get around these limitations.

Make use of masked servers
Obfuscation masks the use of a VPN so that it appears to be a typical internet connection. The majority of security protocols, including OpenVPN, carry metadata that can be used to identify VPN users. Due to this, it is challenging to circumvent strong VPN barriers, particularly network and governmental firewalls.

Obfuscation uses unreadable metadata reorganization to get around this problem. To save you from hitting walls, some obfuscated servers even periodically switch servers and look for open ports. This functionality is especially helpful in tightly restricted nations (like China), where VPN communication is blocked using deep packet inspection (DPI), among other techniques.

The simplest approach to employ obfuscation is using a VPN like ExpressVPN that does so automatically on every server. As an alternative, you can enable an obfuscation feature in the apps of some VPNs; it's usually called "Stealth" or "Scramble."

Question lang. Naka converge kasi ako for internet provider and ang baba ng reliability rate ng router nila, so naisipan ko kabitan ng bago, pano ko gagawin yung na makukuha ng bagong router yung full speed ng main modem nila? Iba kasi yung head ng fiber cable nila kaya di ko mapalitan ng router

Wirless connection tends to fluctuate talage. I would suggest for you to buy an access point para wired ang connection between first modem router to your extender.

Sorry commercial. Natawa ako sa mga typo ko. Hahaha.

(I'm not sure if ito ang appropriate forum/topic, if hindi please tell me nalang so dun ko ma post. And hoping someone can enlighten me with this problem. Thanks in advance 😊)

External SSD Storage

So I've been transferring my files from my old HDD (extracted from my laptop dahil damaged na) using an enclosure. I'm transferring it to my Sandisk 1TB external SSD.

The problem is, sa old HDD ko and when I transfer first to my laptop (which was upgraded to 256GB SSD na as suggested by the technician), di naman masyado malayo difference sa size on disk at actual size (see first picture). But pag nasa external SSD ko na, sobrang laki ng consumed space niya. I know na syempre mas malaki ang value ng size on disk, but normal ba talaga na ganito ang laki ng gap (see second picture)? 

I want to ask if:

1. Normal lang ba talaga na ganyan kalaki ang gap sa size and size on disk?

2. If not, what can I do to reduce this? Sayang kasi ang space, eh halos 1 TB rin sana ang ililipat ko.

I tried searching but maybe I'm not typing in the right keywords kasi, not much is being said on this. Again, thanks in advance to those who can help me or at least point me in the right direction to solving this.

(Sample lang po na file yung mga ss ko, but halos lahat ng files ganyan yung nangyari sa akin)

try reformatting the drive to NTFS or try changing the drive allocation size.

I use VPN pero most of the time sa residential area ko. VPN products don’t always work so kahit connected ka na, di pa in nag open mga websites. Di lang ako sure sa Du home internet pero masmaluwag sila. I don’t think th activites you do is illegal anyways. I just use it for browsing, whatsapp and FB calls and use of Netflix. Small time ffish like us are not a concern for the TRA.

Besides replacing fan, can also see if it's covered by warranty
