OK, Guys. I just wanted to provide my justification for using a more powerful, though still mid-range CPU, such as the i5-13600K. Basically, in the past, I tried to run some HUGE software programs with some HUMONGOUS datasets, in order to do Corpus Analysis. This is sort of my hobby, to keep me out of those Pattaya bars, when one can lose more money in one night than it costs to buy a Super Computer. Well, THANK YOU to the guy who told me to buy an ASUS workstation mainboard, rather than the TUF board, due to tariff issues here. BUT, anyway, I just wanted to explain a bit more: I would like to run some HUMONGOUS computer jobs using HUMONGOUS software programs. This is what makes life for me still worth living, if only just barely. HERE are some opensource Corpus Analysis software programs that I intend to play around with, just as soon as I assemble my new i5 computer: ALSO, guys: The i5-13600K is just about the most expensive CPU that I am willing to buy, at this point in my career. Still, compared to what I am now using, an 15 purchased 9 years ago, the new i5 will be magnificent. Also, I may need to use around 64GB of Main Memory. I realize that this might be overkill for most of you...but.... When one is playing around with Corpus Analysis software, then one just CANNOT have too much Main Memory in one's slots! Thank you, again, to the guy who told me about using TWO Fans for the computer case. Even though I keep my workroom at about 22 degrees C, still, it can get quite hot inside the box, when one is using a CPU that maxes out at about 230 Watts, when overclocking, which I think I may need to do, come to think of it. ======================= Later this evening, after a further review of the ASUS offerings, I will post a photo of the WORKSTATION mainboard that I will choose, if I choose to buy in Thailand. Otherwise, I will just ask one of my Old Friends from China to hand carry a TUF mainboard into Thailand, for me. I am a good friend, and an OLD Friend, to people in China. They are always willing to help me, when help is needed. =============== Additionally, the import tariff on Power Supplies for PCs is also sky high. Therefore, I might have them bring in a 500 Watt power supply, at the same time. ============ The beauty of building a PC, by oneself, is that it keeps one on the "straight and narrow", and out of the bars, and STD-free! Very best to you all, you guys, who love computers even more than slumming in Pattaya bars. Stay healthy. Stay smart. Stay sane! Stay with IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just a thought...which may or may not be of any interest or consequence: I have spent my entire ADULT life in Asia. Nearly 100 percent of my friends, during this time, have been, and are, Asian. My friends include those from Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, and China. I have had almost zero Farang friends during this time. And so, this is why my opportunity to post a few thoughts on TV has been such a new and enlightening experience for me. There are some good guys on TV, just like me; I can tell. And, the "Why of the Wai" is a no-brainer for the likes of us. I know that I will die, just as I have lived, a man alone in Asia. I would have it no other way. I would not change a thing. I will continue to Wai, when I know that my Wai will be appropriate and welcomed. I will not Wai when I don't know why, or if, I should. In all things, I will do my best to be respectful to my Asian friends around me. This is all that I have to say,..... For now.

KUDOS for, at least, deigning to wear your homemade shorts among polite company, here in Thailand. I am sure that the locals are just so appreciative for your thoughtfulness.

I have been told by a Hi-So factory owner to wai important visitors to the owner's factory. Therefore, I do know that nothing is the same across all strata of society, nor for all circumstances. You just got to keep your ears and eyes open, and be sensitive to each occasion, and act as respectfully as you can.

It may be necessary to just move the compressor unit about 10 meters using a further extension of copper pipe for refrigerant. This may be the only solution. Just because I think I will be dead before these guys finally get up to speed. I am not sure how much this will decrease the cooling efficiency due to heat loss from the pipe extension. Yet, this seems the only solution, at this point. Very unfortunate. Also, as everybody here knows, life is just too short to try to change the status quo. Total waste of energy. (Also, when all is said and done, one must finally realize that to dwell upon shortcomings is fruitless, and one must, instead, enjoy and savor the many great things about life here. At least, I know that doing this is the only final solution for me. In other words, enjoy the food here, and the many other wonderful things here, and learn to accept what cannot be changed.)

FYI: According to my experience, ACs from this manufacturer, at least in Japan, work just about flawlessly. So, I am not sure what is happening here. Is it a FENGSHUI problem? Or, something else? Quite exasperating, actually.

They may be deaf. Or, they may be Kuai. I have not made up my mind yet. (Probably, it's just more of a case of complete ignorance how things are supposed to work. They have no way to judge what is functioning properly and what is functioning improperly.)

Yes! I also thought it sounded like a problem with a fan motor bearing! This was my first thought. Tks.

It doesn't look silly. But, it looks strange and out-of-place. Also, it is an invasion of personal space. Don't shake hands in Thailand!

a. The AC with Nike shoe is machine ONE. b. The video is of vibration from machine on "super" cool. c. Also, this machine ONE has lower frequency vibration when the fan is running at medium RPM. d. The other video is of machine TWO. e. Now, both machines are located at same site.

Yes. True in some cases. But not in all cases.

OK. Workstation MB, then..... Or, I will get it carried in from China. But, SUPER CRAZY PRICE in Thailand!

Thank you, again! These service people are very good at gaslighting, but not so good at solving problems.

Machine 2.mp4

Crazy Panasonic AC Loves Nike Shoes (2).mp4 This machine is sold by the same manufacturer of the machine in question, in this Topic. The machine here in the video is only 6-months old. A new machine, basically. This manufacturer seems to be providing ACs to the local market with excessive vibration, probably due to problems with the compressor fans. I am no expert. YOU decide.

My advice to you: Don't go out in the noon-day sun.

As usual, your analysis is the best. a. I had also thought of using weights on the fan. b. Actually, I did buy one of the big names in ACs. Starts with a P, and ends with a C. And, I have been buying, and only this brand, for over 25 years, but in other countries. c. Re: "It's working", and so what more do you expect...,mentality: You are absolutely correct. ============ Still, the best thing I gained from this discussion is knowing how to approach the manufacturer and also the service people. From now on in, I will have only one refrain, which is.... "The compressor fan is not balanced properly." If they do not balance the fan properly, then the original installation work was not done properly. ========== I think you are correct that the high-pitched rattling is due to... 2 components that are rubbing due to the vibration This is exactly what it sound like, in fact! This is very helpful.

Hopefully, the guys at Express VPN will provide the support you need, in due course. When I was in China, they did spend quite a bit of time working with me to help me get some apps working from behind China's Great Firewall.

When you speak of the heat you are experiencing as being "pain", then how can this be beneficial in any way, even for good health? Maybe you should read this from the Mayo Clinic? https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/understanding-effects-of-heat-on-mental-health/

Do you think they served that Taiwanese Bubble Tea?

Being one of the intellectuals that do not often, if ever, ask this question that you thought we may ask, I have other questions: a. What is your purpose in abstaining from the health benefits of using the AC? b. We know that using an AC can improve health in various ways. c. Therefore, is it your intention to abstain from using AC for the purpose of harming your health? Additionally, I purchased an AC for my bedroom. The recommended AC capacity for my bedroom is a bit less than 18,000 BTU. This is why I purchased a new AC with a maximum capacity of 24,000 BTU. Why? I know from the studies I have read that humans sleep better at temps below 21 degrees C. I sleep, usually, at 19 degrees C. But, sometimes, just for the fun of it, I set the temp at 16 degrees C, which is the lowest setting on my AC's remote control. When I do this, I find it very difficult to get out of bed, from under the covers, in the middle of the night, or in the morning. Yet, I sleep better at temps between 20 and 16. No need to take my word for it, but there are many validated sleep studies bandied about. Just google a few. I keep my other rooms at about 23 degrees C, during the day. Why? I enjoy going outside in the hot sun, during the Hot Season, the hotter the better, and 44 degrees C is a rarity that I enjoy, most. But, when I return home, I prefer to enter a house that is really cool, around 22. This is the way I like to live my life. And, I am just so grateful that I am blessed with ACs that are powerful enough for me. If I wanted to endure the "pain" of extreme heat, as you seem to enjoy, then I would head for India where the WET BULB TEMPS are so high that people die. Also, your ambition is bound to fail. The body gets stressed, significantly, when the WET BULB TEMPs rise above a certain level. If you really want pain, then why not experiment with heat stroke, and see how you like it.

So here is the price for this board in Taiwan, at ShunFa.... ShunFa, as you know if you have lived in Taiwan, is a good place to buy computer components. I used to shop there many years ago. The prices are OK. But, in this case, Amazon USA beats ShunFa by a bit. Still, this is a good price, at NTD8490. So then, why is the price quoted on Advice... Bt.11,900 ????? Is there a reason for this huge price difference? Now, I wish I were in Taipei, for a day...... (Maybe mainboards are just more expensive in Thailand? But why?) Taipei is a good place to shop for computer components. But, parking is very difficult.

By the way, earlier today, a member on the forum mentioned ADVICE for finding deals. But, look at this from Advice..... Way too high in Thailand! Price in Thailand vs Price on Amazon in USA. Like, almost double here. Why? What a ripoff!

I do not care about the heat of Thailand. I have ACs running 24/7/365. I keep my rooms at about 20 degrees C. Why? Because, I spent a few years in HK. If you have ever been to HK, then you will know that guys in HK like their living spaces super cold during the hottest times of the year. I have a 24,000 BTU AC in my bedroom. I like to sleep at 18 degrees C during the months of March, April and May. When not asleep, I just have the temps set at 22. I am not worried about heat.

Why is this ASUS mainboard so expensive at JIB (Thailand)??? I really want this MoBo for my Intel i5, BUT, I will NOT pay almost double in Thailand, or at JIB, to get it. What to do? This is the MoBo for me. But, why is the price so crazy high in Thailand, anyway? Any thoughts? (Also, the JIB board is not even the DDR5 version. What is going on with JIB, these days? How could import duty be so high as to cause this huge price difference??? I wonder.....) But, no worries...because.... I have Old Friends in China who can help me get the newest boards from China, at the lowest cost, and hand-carry them to me here in CM. I am so lucky to have Old Friends in China who appreciate this Old Ham......
