[WTA] Ways to pay RHB Hire Purchase?

Wuahaha — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 22:35:19 +0800

Hi all, my hire purchase from RHB has a 12 digit account number.

So far I have been paying through the RHB branch counter. But last month I was told they only allow 5k above transaction for the counter.

Below 5k use cash deposit machine. Does cash deposit machine accept Rm1? Cos I need to pay Rm763.

Do I need to round up to pay and calculate every time? Just so troublesome.

Any more convenient ways for me to pay, can I use CIMB click to pay it?

Thanks.

Is my CPU temperature acceptable?

Wuahaha — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:53:57 +0800

Hi all, new here just got my new rig (see my siggy) not really geng but should be good enuf for me.

Wanna ask, I used RealTemp and Prime95 to check the CPU temperature roughly (42c idle) and (73c 100% for 10mins). Is it acceptable?

Found that the RealTemp/CoreTemp have same temperature readings but are different from the Asus PC probe II / BIOS Temp (which has a higher reading), which reading should I trust? Do I need to calibrate my sensors or what? Hope someone can enlighten me. Very long time no play with desktop stuff liao.

BTW, Sorry I'm using my office laptop so no picture to show yet. Will post some tonite.

EDIT: Pictures are posted on page 2, post#28 here

Road Tax/Insurance Renewal via MyEG Service

Wuahaha — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 23:57:30 +0800

Today I went to MyEG service website after hearing my colleague said can try to renew my road tax. After browsing through their website, FAQs and form, looks not bad. So I give it a go, came home dig out my car particulars and info, try to apply it. Well, first it ask for insurance, so I choose RHB Insurance, filled up the form, pay through FPX, clicked return to FPX, dunno is it hanged or can't load a particular page ... oh shit ! Checked my bank balance, OMG payment went through, but without directing me back to their page. Then I tried to renew my road tax, it said I have no valid insurance. I was like WTF ... I paid already.
Luckily I printed the payment details screen. Called up the helpdesk, auto reply said office hour 9am~7pm. So I emailed to them, got a reply said someone will get back to me tomorrow.

So this is my first and bad experience with MyEG, come come share your experiences on MyEG Service. Has anyone renewed their road tax or insurance successfully ?

Hey I dunno if there is other threads like this before, nvm I've created one
Wanna ask how to take care or extend laptop battery's life?
When is best time to recharge, discharge, bla bla, etc.
Ladies and gentlemen, please help give some advice thanks !!

Advices for saving batt power while on battery only:
1. Off Wi-Fi or other devices when not in use (Remove USB devices)
2. Reduce LCD screen brightness
3. Turn off screen when not in use
4. Don't run devices like CD/DVD rom too much
5. Turn sound volume to minimal/mute
6. Dun play 3D games (Play less save more power)
7. Run single core, if not using much processing
8. Run less resource hungry programs (reduce usage on CPU, memory and HDD)
9. Use power management (Set suspend/shutdown time)
10. Undervolt ur processor

Advices for protecting ur battery:
1. Dun use in hot temperature environment
2. Dun let ur laptop run too hot (Get a laptop cooler)
3. Discharge battery fully once awhile (every 1~2 months)
4. Recharge when your batt is about 10~20%
5. Take out battery if battery is full
6. Dun use battery if using adaptor for a long time
