I've been doing the Gaming headset since forever and I generally only get a year to year and a half out of a headset, before they fall apart or crap out. I'm not hard on them it just seems to be the trend with gaming headsets. I currently have Man'O'Wars, prior to that I had Plyr1's, Turtle Beach etc etc I'm tired of buying into the gaming platform and have a 200$ pair of paper weights every year that literally sit on my desk when I'm not on my computer and attribute to nothing else in my life. I've been leaning towards getting a good quality headset for the past year and now that my Razers are basically falling apart I need to pull the trigger. My main requirement is closed or semi closed and sound leak is no beuno (I understand open is preferred). At first I was just gonna buy the M50x's and be done with it then research told me it was all hype and they were not actually as good as the hype. Then I looked at the Sennheiser 598, the DT770's and the T50RP. I think I've decided on the T50RP's but I've read that for gaming they are not great as directional sound can be abit of an issue. So with my 500$ Canadian budget, currently about 20$ american. What would you do? Must be a portable DAC setup or no DAC and be closed. Gaming and screen time will be 80% of the usage these things see, 20% will be travel, airports etc etc. I do enjoy music alot and when I'm not gaming I have music playing.

the GPU is running stock atm

Copied from another forum, figured some LTT peeps may have a fix I know this topic has been beaten to death all over the internet but I cannot seem to fix my game to a playable state. I've tried every fix I've come across. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice. Removed all temp files associated with Steam, Arma3 and A3launcher, Done the regedit fix, Pagefiling, Large page files, Manually set the parameters, done the .dll file fix. The list goes on. Game runs fine for about 20 minutes to about an hour then crashes. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please report this on Arma 3 Feedback Tracker (http://feedback.arma3.com). Thanks to you we may fix the issue faster. ---------------------- Process exit ---------------------- Exit code: 0xC0000005 - STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION Running time: 00:01:38.5086027 ---------------------- System information ---------------------- Date: 2017-01-27 20:04:34 / 2017-01-27 13:04:34 -07 Current dir: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3 Command line: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Arma 3\arma3launcher.exe" CLR version: 4.0.30319.42000 OS Version: 10.0.14393.0 (Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.14393.0) OS 64 bit: True Process 64 bit: False Culture: en-US UI Culture: en-US I've emailed Bohemia twice now with logs and no reply.

I'm looking to build a micro ITX pc strictly as a media center to watch on my tv. I've read a couple of articles that you can boot straight to XBMC. Goal is sub 200$, display port (for 4k) I have a hardware list that fits my build just trying to figure out if i can do it without windows. any help appreciated

i was under the impression that the whole point of ai suite was to do that for you?

I will check that

fan curve is 40 to 60 degrees its at 600-800 rpm then at 70 its boosts to 2000rpm they are 3 pin fans

almost seems random they ramp up during gaming as expected but once i stop gaming i have to open ai suite and turn the fans to silent mode several times before they will shut down

I've tried playing with the fan curve in AI suite (don't get me started on this garbage program) but my fans are CONSTANTLY ramping and its bloody annoying. I've got 5 Coolermaster sickleflows currently, 2 intake 3 exhaust. I've done the AI suite setup for them, I've played with the fans curves I'm all out of ideas aside from just going external fan controller. Figured I'd ask before spending more money from the watercooling fund.

Haven't had any issues with my new build until today. I've had 2 crashes today haven't changed anything, I added fans last week but haven't had any issues with them.

love it, not a single complaint at all

yes that is a pencil holding up my gpu...it was sagging....alot

Pictures update

Had my computer setup for about a week now and my Strix 980ti is running at 80ish degree's while gaming cpu at about 40-45. The CPU is not really my concern but the GPU is running alittle hot for my liking. I did not buy additional case fans at the time because I wanted to know what my temps would be prior to if needing at all, so I'm currently running the 2 stock fans that came with the case. My thoughts are to run 3 120mm Static pressure fans up front then run 3 high flow fans for exhaust, I know kind of a newbie question but do I need to watch the CFM for the exhaust side to keep slight positive pressure?

Yeah I mean its there, but how picky do you want to be, 27" ips display your bound to have some. I've heard of guys sending them back 4-5 times before they got one that has hardly any

I have not tested it at 165hz yet as I've only tested in on my brother in laws computer, but its glorious. Minimal back light bleed from the bottom right but not noticeable while gaming.

Wont be a serious loop, just a single 360 in the front. As for the top fans it is a little sad that they centered the mount instead of offsetting it. Guess there is something to be said for asymmetrical design. Watercooling is atleast 6 months away. I'm sure ill figure something out by then.

Case and psu are less then an hour and a half away from me but purolator wont deliver on weekends, i could use my old PSU to atleast post but then i still have to wait 2 days

I didn't want to cut pieces of my build to do the water cooling at the same time, I'll save for a bit then buy it in a few months

Well most of my parts have arrived just waiting for my case and PSU. Parts list -Intel I7 6700k -Asus Maximus formula VIII -Cooler Master hyper 212 evo -Asus strix 980ti OC -16g GSkill v series 3200mhz -Samsung pro 950 256gb m.2 -Samsung 850 evo 500gb ssd -Corsair rm750i psu -Phanteks p400 in grey -Acer predator 165hz 27" monitor Future plans include custom loop if your wondering about the cooler. Now to wait

not entirely sure how i would be wasting money on a custom loop, i did shop around. i was more so seeking advice from people that have build end end computers like this that would have input on how to get deals, like the people that just informed me of the checkout system, i was not aware of this. Im pretty old school when it comes to contacting people. like to talk to someone on the otherside

again its just because I like the formula series boards, ultimately I drop to the hero and save myself 200$?

Well the Poseidon is currently unavailable, So Ive been looking at a strix or a matrix this is just the one we quoted for now. Also changed if i do a Custom loop or a AIO

total usage is 455w not including loop. Also left room incase I decide to sli a year down the road and at the time I priced this out you could get the 850 for the same price as the 750. as for the Mobo I've really wanted the new formula board since I saw previews, I'm not worried about the additional cost as its still within my budget
