  1. Would a Scarlet solo work as well? I don't have need for 2 inputs. Would I just plug the unit in using USB and then it would as my mic input and audio output?
  2. Recently decided my audio set up needed a bit of love, so I'm looking at getting some of the massdrop HD6XXs. My motherboard's sound-card isn't great, so I was thinking it would make sense to combine this purchase with getting some kind of desk top DAC. I can't use an in-pc sound-card as the case I have is too small to accommodate one. Ideally the card would have 2 3.5mm or 1/4 inch outputs (for the headphones and some speakers I have) and a mic input (either 1/4inch or 3.5mm would be fine) Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
  3. I play a lot of shooters and racing games so I figure the higher refresh rate would be nice. Budget wise I'd say I don't really want to spend much more than £500 preferably less.
  4. So I did something a little bit stupid, I bought a 1080ti and still only have a 60hz 1080p panel, but I've been looking into a new primary monitor and can't gauge where I should be aiming. Atm I think that 1440p 144hz would be a good choice, as I think it should allow me to do high/max in most games and get 144hz, but I'm not sure if this is the right decision. Any advice/recommendations would be much appreciated.
  5. I think ultimately every company above a certain size is only in it for money, and to view them as totally honest and open is opening yourself up to being exploited by them. I'm not saying that's happening with AMD at the moment but just that you should bare it in mind.
  6. this isn't a massively helpful answer but I would say "years". They're not going to fail for a long time, manufacturing defects notwithstanding. Worst you might see for a few years is a fan failing on the GPU or H60, which is an easy enough fix. Pump on the H60 might fail first as well, though from my friends' experiences they're pretty long living as well.
  7. I can't get discord to use the microphone on the qc-35s without also using the "hands-free" speaker which sounds awful for any use other than voice. If I simply set discord to use the handsfree mic and the normal stereo output then the mic doesn't work. Has anybody else experienced this and is there a fix, or will I have to purchase a separate free standing microphone? Thanks, DebatedNothing.
  8. Last thing, is an NH-L9i good to cool a 7700? I've only ever used an 8350 which is under the impression it's actually a space heater...
  9. That's another question, would this build work on a 144hz 1440p monitor or would that be stretching it too far? I've never tried anything beyond 1080p60 so I'm not really familiar with the horses needed to get that to chooch.
  10. realistically, would I notice that in gaming? I don't really do any hard core workload stuff, the closest I guess would be using Inventor and the occasional bit of "video editing" (pretty much just cutting highlights from recordings).
  11. Didn't realise the motherboard issue, is the one recommended by RaptorCandy okay on that front?
  12. Not a fan of the EVOLV myself, it's too big.
  13. That's a pretty sick build however I'm not sold on the 202 because it doesn't accept 3.5" drives and I have a few decently fast high capacity drives I'd want to keep.
  14. According to PC part picker it -should- fit but that is a concern. I could always return it and get something more low profile if it doesn't I guess.
  15. This is my current working parts list, I don't really want to spend more than £1500 on this PC. How does it look?

  16. 1) No integrated graphics on the FX 8350 to connect to 2) They are 3) Will do 4) Will also check Thanks
  17. Bought BF1 the other day but I am experiencing an odd FPS problem. The FPS struggles to stay at 60 even at 540p, all settings low. I have tried running the game on Dx11 and Dx12, in fullscreen, borderless and windowed, and have already used DDU to do a complete driver installation once already. I have an MSI GTX 970, FX 8350, 8GB RAM and the game is on a WD caviar black hard drive. Any advice? Thanks.
  18. There really isn't that much wrong with this remark. The only devices which use that cable are iPads and iPhones basically, and by specifying 6 they're saying they don't want one of the older wide plugs from iPhones before the 4. It isn't technically accurate but unless you're currently sitting a tech exam you don't need to be exact and correct all the time, that isn't the point or reality of speech.
  19. I mean it isn't just a case of deciding to make better batteries. There is a huge amount of research going into trying to do that but it isn't easy.
  20. We can't just "make better batteries". That's not how physics works.
