You will absolutely need a bigger PSU for the 3090, as shown in the linus video testing power draw

That is good to hear, the higher impedance scared me away initially, but I guess it only comes into play with something inefficient like the 6xx with 300 ohm impedance. Do you know of any good bluetooth headphone adapters that could drive something like that, as I have an iphone se 2020 and freeing up the charger port would be useful for night time listening

How is the durability of the k3(7/6)1? I'd like to have something that I don't have to worry about snapping in my bag. Also, the 58x may be easy to drive from a good soundcard, but from chromebook headphone jacks and iphone 7's, the little things matter

The 58x is still a 150 ohm, vs my approx. 50 ohm current headphones, do you think stock audio solutions would be powerful enough to drive 3 times the resistance? Also, I was also considering closed back as 1. they wont leak as much sound in public, and 2. I was also looking at wireless headphones to pull double duty as home headphones plugged in

There in lies the problem, I dont have a good amp. I would like to be able to drive my headphones from stock motherboard audio or a phone, as I use my headphones on the go frequently, and plug into client devices at Geek Squad, and would like to avoid purchasing a portable amp/dac. Honestly, having 1 headphone for everything is to reduce price AND complexity, in a way

Honestly, I have never had an experience with a planar, and dont know enough about the tech to know if it is something I would like or not. The only thing I can say is I thought they were more on the high end i.e. high price so I never considered them

Yeah I tried on the XM4's at work and they are pretty nice, the only thing I didn't like was the fact that all your controls are done by touch, and I feel I would accidently mess with it. If there are any XM3/XM4 owners that would be willing to vouch for them, it would be appreciated. The sound profile is one that I did like, for the short time I was able to demo them, but of course they are far from neutral. This is something I can give some leway too because of course headphones are for music and music is supposed to be enjoyed, not ALWAYS analyzed

I'm looking for headphones that I can use plugged into my PC at home, and wirelessly to my phone on the go. I already own Audiotechnica m40x's and Philips shp9500's, and while I do prefer the wide sound stage of open back headphones, I know that closed back would be better for travel. I have tried on the Sony XM4's and while they were comfortable and seemed to have good imaging, a friend suggested the Sennheiser Momentum 3's, as they apparently have a more neutral sound and better construction. I prefer a neutral sound as I listen to a wide range of genres, and did not like the V shaped curve of something like the Beyerdynamic dt990. I work at best buy, and can take advantage of my employee discount for any brands sold there, but my budget is somewhere around the $300 mark, so if they are sold by somewhere like amazon, keep that in mind. Any questions you have I would be glad to answer, and I know this is a strange use case, but I'd like to just have one pair of headphones for all my uses, instead of spending more to get one for home and one for travel

Doesnt it create a new version even if nothing is changed? like these photos are only gonna be edited maybe 1 photo a week, so i dont want to be backing up files that havent changed. also what format are the backups saved in? i need it to be just a regular folder just incase i ever need to transfer it to lets say linux

I've been wanting to backup my photo/video library to an SD Card on a schedule, but I want to keep those files in their original format. When I use file history in windows 10, it will just save unlimited copies until the drive is full, which is useless for me. The only other option in windows would be backup and restore, but that saves it in a container/folder, which isn't what I want. Is there any way that I could backup a folder of photos, on a schedule, and have those photos be in their original state?

oh any do you need peripherals?

do you need wifi on the board or anything? any expansion slots for stuff other than a gpu?

sorry didnt mean to come off that way, i meant it in the way that they sell "4k ready" hdmi cables, which is nonsense, and he doesnt need like some "hdmi 2.0 cable" that some companies try to sell to chumps

oh yeah i know, im just saying like even if he bought some cable from 7(?) years ago, it would still work fine

do you have any of the components yet, or all new? whats your budget?

nah man just buy any hdmi cable honestly, even hdmi 1.4 can do 4k 30fps which is all the ps4 outputs to my knowledge. HDMI is digital, so distance wont matter too much at less than 30 ft or so

Hey guys, I'm looking for a high quality tech toolkit, pretty standard BUT I'd like it to include an rj-45 (ethernet) crimper (and preferably a wire stripper) in it aswell. I know I could buy it separately, but I'd like to have everything under 1 brand/warranty for easy returns if needed, and to keep it from mixing with class tools. I do lots of different repairs between servers, laptops, and especially desktops, so that gives a general idea of required bits. I don't do many repairs on small stuff like phones, but small tips MIGHT be nice if I ever need to work on my glasses LOL (but the focus is really on desktops). I'd like full steel tips because aluminum has always stripped for me, magnetic isn't required but would be a nice touch

Hey guys, strange question for a sticky situation: my brother is trying to edit footage in premiere, but it crashes any time he tries to click anything. He thinks its because his computer cant handle the video files, and premiere just kinda dies. SO we are thinking maybe he sends the files to me, i render them for him, and then send them back to him. he has already done a lot of editing, so starting over is not preferred, but he is kinda against the wall here. so, is it possible for him to send an in-progress edit to me to render?

Alrighty, just formatted it and its all good. thanks for your help man, i havent messed with windows partitions since vista

worked like a charm, but now when i go into disk management, it asks me what partition style i want, should i do MBR, or GPT?

sweet, i hate seeing that extra icon in "My PC", pet peeve, so thats great news. thanks man

Hey guys, I just added a second hard drive to my system from an old laptop. The laptop stopped working, and I salvaged the old hard drive from it as a scratch disk. Once I installed it, I formatted it, because I didn't need any files on it, but now I have a "system reserved" drive. It is located on the new hard drive, so is it safe to just delete that partition?

I second this, im wearing them right now

yes and yes
