    Nice table, thanks for the hot cold icons, makes it easier for me to find bargains I looked over or didn't realise the first time I typically look over a price list table.

    I thought that Archer AC2600/VR2600 modem router is a good deal until I googled some reviews as well as users' feedback from Whirlpool forum - https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2588849&… Faulty product that is being listed as end-of-the-line model, being replaced AC2800 now. Skipping this deal :(

    • +1

      thanks updated

    • I have to call MSY as I purchased the AC2600 last Wednesday and ask for either a swap or refund. My one is faulty :(

      • +1

        I wish you luck, MSY can sometimes be frustrating when returning under ACL it will happen when you push it along enough. You should be ok as it you are still in the DOA period. Be forceful (and informed with adequate reasons pertaining to ACL) if you want a refund because your more likely to get a swap.

        • I attempted to call twice and I just emailed them through paypal which resulted in swift answer (Brought through MSY online for $236.01 last week.. yes I'm kicking myself). They said I can take it back to my local branch which I did and happily swapped. Will try again tonight.

        • +1

          @repair-pro: Best of luck.

  • Anyone had any experience with the Hyper D92 vs the Hyper 212x? Need a reasonably priced CPU fan for overclocking shennanigans

    • It has a dual fan config, meaning it will be noisier than the 212x. If noise is an issue, I'd either spend the $50 and get the 212x or $45 on the Thermaltake Contac Silent 12 if you have a AM4 socket.

    • +1

      I have the hyper 212x on my i7 4770 and can recommend it. No overclocking but it took under load temp from high 80s to low 60s. It's also quite big so make sure you have space for it in your case.

  • Thanks op (perhaps) just ordered the powerline. Not 100% sure what it does, hopefully its what I think lol.

    • +2

      You plug one in to the wall where your modem is and run an ethernet from your modem to it. It then sends the ethernet signal through your earth wire to any socket that is on the same circuit (some older houses have two circuits so you have to be careful) and will give you an ethernet access point where you plug in the other one.

      You can also get ones that will act as a wifi access point. I have one of those downstairs as well as a couple of ethernet ones in my study.

      Fortunately when I got NBN they moved my modem out of a spare bedroom (dumb previous homeowner) to behind the TV in my lounge room so now it's super convenient for ethernet.

      • So further to this, can I then plug a router into the second "ethernet access point" without much drama?
        How have you found the speeds with this set up?

        • +1

          Yes, you can. I run this at home, streaming netflix, video of a NAS (720P), no problem.

        • Further to Martijn, I too stream full HD and often 4K content using my downstairs wireless access point without issue. I am on 100mbps NBN for reference.

      • Any idea how I can tell whether or not I have a single circuit or two?

        I want to get internet out to my garage but the wifi struggles to reach that far. It all has its own sub board if that helps anyone.

        • Take a look at your switchboard. If you can't tell from that, take a photo of it and post to Whirlpool or something. I'm no electrician and wouldn't be able to judge, but I've lived in houses where it has been an issue.

        • @Putnum: there would be two fuses/breakers for power points. You could switch off the breaker and see which power points no longer work to see which share a circuit.

          Should have 1 for lights, 1 for stove if electric, hot water if electric, maybe one for ac etc, and however many for power points.

        • @Tuba:

          Also keep in mind that the adaptors will still work across multiple circuits, but at a reduced speed. My house has 3 circuits for power points and with this kit I can get 100mbit on the same circuit down to 50-75 on other circuits, depending on cable length.

          Only be wary if you have multiple circuits and the outlet that your router is plugged into is a long way away from the switchboard.

      • so does that mean we need two powerline devices?

        • Yes, and this deal is a twin pack. Usually you'll get a starter kit and then buy extras as needed, like with security camera systems.

    • I've been using TP-Link power line adaptors (TL-PA211) to upload output stats from my solar invertor to "PV Solar" for several years. Initially, they worked flawlessly but for the past year, I've noticed they've stopped uploading stats intermittently at very random intervals. I still can't figure it out since nothing has changed in my home.

      • Gah out of stock!

      • +1

        Just bought one pack from MSY - the salesman said these things have a limited lifespan of about 24months cos they are on 24/7. Also said you can get a replacement or refund if it dies in the warranty period too

  • Would you guys recommend any of these PSU's for a gaming PC? Running a Ryzen 1600 and GTX 1070

    • +2

      for that exact config you get:

      Load Wattage: 276 W
      Recommended PSU Wattage: 326 W

      so you can aim for 450w + PSU's

      http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/

      • +2

        If you want to future proof it doesn't cost that much more to get 600W or higher. The PSU will only use as much power as it needs, so it's better to buy higher wattage if you can afford it.

        • -1

          PSU will make heat with the excess is my understanding. They dont limit themselves to what they need.

        • +2

          @Tuba: No, no that's not right at all. Otherwise no one would be able to afford to run PCs in Australia due to our high power costs. The PSU power rating is the vendor rated maximum load (and often it's ~10% under what the PSU is capable of).

          Don't skimp on the power supply, it's the most important part of your PC.

      • Thank you I'll grab this if I don't find something comparable locally

      the VP700P would be fine. and it has 4 6+2 pin PCI-e connectors so you could run quad SLI!

    • Don't skimp on your PSU.
      Putting $1000 of CPU + GPU on a sub-$100 PSU isn't recommended.

    • +2

      The VP700 is sufficient for your rig as it is, it's not a top tier PSU but still safe and reliable. If you were to get into heavy overclocking and SLI use you would be best off spending a bit more, but for an average rig with average overclocks this should be fine and is a good deal. The other two listed aren't worth looking at. It's difficult to get the better PSUs at a decent price here, so that helps this deal further.

      Tomshardware has a PSU tier list that's good to consult when purchasing, though a bit out of date and sometimes doesn't have AU/SEA specific models listed. The VP700 is tier 3, which is safe and reliable, just not the top quality components/design of higher tier models (which would cost 2-3x the price here).

    • +2

      The Antec VP series is mediocre quality at best. Two 12V rails instead of one making load balancing an issue, no 80Plus certification and you know the component quality is lower because it has a 2 year warranty instead of the 3-5 year warranties on Antec's higher quality PSUs.

      No-one has done a proper internal inspection and active load testing with noise and ripple analysis review so you can't be absolutely certain. The closest we can look at is a 6 year old review of the VP-450P by Xbitlabs - both are FSP OEMs and have no 80Plus certification so it's the most apt comparison of the VP range with a proper review.

      The Antec VP450P is a real disappointment. Being highly efficient, this PSU has a very unstable +5V voltage, poor fan speed regulation (the fan accelerates linearly right from the start) and an undeservedly high price. It is only cheaper than the other Antec in this review, but the latter is free from the mentioned downsides and offers much more power on the +12V rail.

      Considering your power requirements I'd go for a higher quality PSU of a lower wattage.

      In fact that CoolerMaster MasterWatt Lite 600W looks better on paper. Single 12V rail, 80Plus cert. The OEM is Enhance Electronics. Enhance is the OEM on quiet a lot of good products but any company has their good products and their bad/cheap products.

      Since there are no proper reviews of either PSU you're taking a gamble either way but I'd trust the CoolerMaster over the Antec.

      Thanks for the comments guys! I'll look into getting a higher quality psu at around 600w.

      • +1

        If you've got the budget that's absolutely the best call. I do still believe the VP700 would be sufficient (and nothing more, it's kinda the cheapest you could go without buying garbage), but DonWilson did a great job explaining the downsides and reasons. For simple single GPU builds having dual rails isn't usually bad as at least one GPU power cable will be on one rail separate from the mobo/CPU on the other. But, if you do plan on maybe more than one GPU one day, less headache going single rail. I believe I did find a more recent review of this series but it took a lot of searching and IIRC was not in English.

        realhardtechx has a good database of reviews, good place to start investigating a model more in depth. Like I said before though, we seem to get a few SEA/OCE specific models that are hard to find reviews on.

        The XFX series sold by PCCG are worth looking at as XFX PSUs are all Seasonic made. That could be a good starting point.

  • Is the TP-Link 10400mah powerbank any good?
    Was in the market for one & the 600mAh I saw at The Good Guys just seemed a bit low.

    • +1

      a 600mah power bank? makes no sense, wouldn't even power a usb fan

      • The only purpose I could see for a 600mah bank is as a last-resort desperate recharge of a flat phone. You might get it up to 25% and be able to make a couple of calls.

        I guess it depends on its size and weight as to whether it's worth it. When you can get a relatively small 10,000mah xiaomi power bank for ~$20 I'm not sure why you'd settle for less.

      • My bad typo, I meant 600mAh

  • Except for Asus none of the pci nic vendors have antenna extenders so you can get better signal ….. But might get an extra ac1900 tp link nic.

  • Great price for the TL-PA8010P. Might grab a pair and see if they can improve my network speed further.

  • The Powerline kit might be out of stock, or very low stock now.

  • Powerline kit is out of stock via online. I bought a set of these from MSY a month ago for $99 (which was a sale at the time). Needed to get a another set which I managed to snag for pickup at my local MSY.

  • Any deals on DDR3 RAM :(

    • RAM prices are still generally super expensive at the moment. Keep waiting.

    • If it's DDR3 you want, and not DDR3L you can just buy from eBay and save. second hand DDR3 RAM is very common.

      • Good to know mate.

        My Alienware currently runs on 1x4GB DDR3 PC3 12800S Kingston and 1x2GB DDR3 PC3 12800S Hynix. Do you know what is best memory I can go for? Also do you see any best deals in eBay?

      • or sniping on gumtree, but need to be super patient, I scored 16gb DDR3 kit unused a couple months ago for $50.

  • The website is pretty shit. Cannot seem to find the Archer T9E.

    • Website is horrible. When I try to add the T9E to cart, it says "Sorry, this promotion product is limited to [vic=67 per customer"

      Doesn't matter what quantity I add. I've sent them an email, hopefully they can generate an order for me on their end.

      • +1

        Yea I'm a bit annoyed. Was thinking of getting the keyboard+mouse and the T9E plus a few other stuff but now I'm expecting roadblocks for all of them. Then I started thinking about how I don't really need those things, they'd just be good to have and a decent deal.

        Also trying to see if I can find anything that's worth my while since I'm not in a metro area, but the website is so shit I decided to just wait until I really need to add/replace something on my rig.

      • if you are technical they're hiring developers for their next gen e-commerce site.

      • The site was fine this morning, but I forget to check out. Now I am getting the same Sorry message as above.

  • Just my luck. I purchased this cpu cooler from landmark computers yesterday

    It was 39 bucks I could have saved 5 dollars!!!!

  • My experience with TP-Link routers were lousy at best. Had some over the years.
    They were all consistent in being unreliable and faulty.

    Latest was the one (TL-WR841N) bundled free with my new Uniti Wireless Internet connection.
    Uniti was pumping out consistent and impressive 50 mbps speeds, but the router was was dropping WiFi every five minutes.

    Simultaneously, I had a NetGear NightHawk D7000 Modem/Router, running with TPG on the last month of contract.
    Though had to wait a month, as soon as TPG disconnected service, I configured the NightHawk on Uniti, and all WiFi issues vanished.

    After much frustration for me, the techs at Uniti and TP-Link, we agreed that the device was faulty.
    Today, the RMA dept. at TP-Link agreed to swapping the router for an Archer T9UH (a top-line WiFi adapter with favourable reviews) for an extra $40.

    TL;DR - TP- Link routers may return faults more often than the other main brands.

  • Went to the Canberra store tonight after work to pick up the powerline kit after noticing they had stock on the website.

    Turned up at 5.30 to be told that despite the website showing stock, someone had called up and placed an order for all of them. The guy with the neckbeard was especially cheerful when relaying this information despite me being pissed off that the website didnt accurately reflect the stock levels and I had made a trip for nothing.

    And before people going on about placing an order with MSY and picking it up, I have also been burnt that way before as well. Oh we didnt get the order etc etc.

    But I get home and realise that the website said limit 2 per customer. I am KICKING myself that I didnt remember that at the time when I was told that one guy had placed an order for all of them.

    Goddamn I hate MSY so much.

    • all of them probably means 1

    • MSY are one of the biggest bunch of muppets I've ever come across, try calling their phone sales/support number.

      They never freaking answer, it diverts back to itself, and I've sent them multiple emails over the course of 2 days with no replies. This was about a product they listed as ONLINE but the add-to-cart function was broken even though it showed stock.

      You go in-store and all the employees are disinterested. + vote for the weather symbols though.

  • Ordered and waiting for confirmation on msy dandenong…Hopefully they confirm the powerline soon. Been wanting to get one of this, its showing up as having stock in Msy Dandenong, let hope its not out of stock

  • $13 shipping kills it for me. Really does.

  • Did anyone actually manage to buy a set of powerline adapters? I ordered one for pickup on Wednesday morning but haven't heard a word from the store.
