  1. I am in the same boat as you. I have a condenser mic as well. I currently run the HD 6xx upgrading from HD 558's. I have not experienced any leakage nor the people around me, however also consider that it might be your mic picking up too much noise. It also might depend on the noise suppression build into the VoiP services you use (teams, discord, etc all have noise suppression settings.) From a comfortability standpoint the HD 6xx are spot on, I did however upgrade to the OEM full leather pads (also sold on (mass)drop) although the standard cloth/Alcantara ones are great as well. Because of the over ear design I can wear them all day and night if I wanted to but it of course again depends on your head size and ear location as that differs from person to person.

     

    I also personally considered the Beyerdynamic DT 990's (pro) but ended up liking the neutral sound signature of the HD line up more.

    That's better. My Floatplane account is tied to my old LTT forum account for reasons, so if I want to sign in on the app I have to change my default browser on my phone to a second browser, sign in through LTT with my old account, and then change it back. 

    Oh believe me, I also have this kinda. I sign into the floatplane website via the forum and then the forum via steam. However this is not supported through the IOS app. It's kinda ironic to do, just clicking sign in via three times. Can't change now due to the grandfathered perk either.

  3. Depends on what you need really, is it just for longer term storage/mass storage? Both hard drives are fine, most modern hard drives are okay these days. 7200rpm is definitely recommend if you need it for daily stuff. Also don't forget if you are really going to be using it, nand based storage is dirt cheap these days.

    A lot of cases have the issue where the pci-e for the cpu does not fit through the hole. You should however check if the collision is the case or motherboard as some motherboard will interfere with the hole, you might need to remove the motherboard to make it fit. Else cable extensions are a option as they could be individually sleeved.

    Is it smart to upgrade from Xeon X5650 to X5687 or X5690 for 90-100$?

    And if it is,how big would the FPS difference be?

    I have 10GB DDR3 (not triple channeled) and a 1070Ti

    EDIT2: I just remembered another question. How much FPS would I gain if i went to 12GB Triple Channel?

    I honestly wouldn't upgrade your ram before your cpu, but the cpu you mentioned is not really a significant upgrade. (you could even try to overclock it to x5690, it overclocks pretty well) 

     

    So considering that, if you are running out of memory I would upgrade that first. Memory speed is not really beneficial for an old Xeon as it might be for a current ryzen cpu. The first upgrade is probably an other cpu than you mentioned.  (and ram as you might need to upgrade to DDR4)

    Yeah so no issues playing rocket league on the IGPU... Just had to set it to the lowest cettings for a solid 40 fps lol. Ok let me trying upping the power limit and I will get back to you. I did not, however, un-slot the GPU from the mobo, is that ok? Thanks

    This was more to avoid your GPU still being the main gpu in use by your pc so that you would even get to display anything on the IGPU but it seemed to work fine.

    So I increased the voltage, power, and temperature limit (don't worry I was monitoring all of this while gaming) and I also decreased the slide for clock speed and memory clock speeds all the way. This actually made the issue worse. What should I do now? 

    Honestly in my opinion the GPU is toast as you've proven that with a other graphics unit your PC works just fine and with the GPU inserted it does artifact. Also if you change settings on the GPU it changes the amount so my best bet would be a dead GPU sadly enough. PSU die less often than a GPU but I could not see artifacting becoming an issue from a PSU...
