Hi, Hope you are all staying safe. I am basically in dilemma between choosing Razer Kraken Ultimate vs Logitech G Pro X. I had to pick these two based on my budget and local market availability. Tech spec and feature wise, both these headsets ar good enough for me. So I have to make my final decision based on comfort level. I want to wear the headset for longer period of time. My ear lobe dimension is: L -> 2.69 inc W-> 1.5 inc In past, I had very bad and painful experience with couple of < 60 $ headset. Those ear cups couldn't fit/cover my ear lobe. I wear glasses so after some time, clamping pressure made the situation worse. So I want to keep a healthy relationship with my next headpone My confusion points are listed below: G Pro X is slightliy smaller than Kraken Ultimate but G Pro X ear pads are oval. Which one is better? Almost all of the review mentioned that G Pro X has a bit strong clamping force. By the looks of these two, It seems Kraken will create less pressure. Maybe? I couldn't find the exact dimension of the inner section of both of these ear pads which covers the ear lobe . I can't say for sure which ear pad will completely cover my ear lobe and won't create pain after a long session. So if anyone used both these headsets by any chance, or use any one of these would you please share your feedback?

Thanks, but I'm not sure whether I have to upgrade psu after 1-2 year after the build. As It will be 7+ years old. Also I am not sure how much degradation happens for decent quality power supply after warranty period. Hope you got my point.

Hi, Hope you are all staying safe. I am planning to upgrade my system next year (depending on new CPU, GPU launch). For now, let's say I will buy my preferred components (given below) in April 2021. Now I am not sure whether to keep my existing PSU (Cooler master v650) or buy a new one for another 3-4 years. Here are some more info about my plan: 1. Budget & Location I'm form Bangladesh. Approximate budget $US 2100 (max) 2. Aim Learn overclocking. (Never done on CPU before. Will start from auto) Mostly online multiplayer FPS gaming like COD_MW2019 and PUBG, survival action like Metro Exodus light video editing and streaming Smoothly run heavy IDE like VS2017 3. Monitors (keep current) Primary: Samsung curved 24 inch, 144Hz, 1080p (for gaming) Secondary: Asus VX229h 4. Peripherals (keep current) 5. Why are you upgrading? same as point 2 Build Plan: 3900x with CM ML360 TOMAHAWK x570 16 GB 3200Mhz CL16 2080 Super (MSI or Gigabyte depending on availability on local market) Additional Info: PSU bought on 2016, keep using since. PSU used with i7 6700, gigabyte 970 xtream OC, gigabyte Z170x gaming 7 mobo. GPU OC profile with custom fan curve I am trying to research as much as I can but not finding suitable answer for my particular problem.I would like to have expert opinion about Should I be okay with my existing v650 psu for this build? Thanks a lot for reading the post. Hope to get some feedback . Cheers!

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for replying. I use this system for gaming only. 8700k was not an option 'cuz I would have to buy new motherboard and RAM. I've decided to save money for now to see new gen cpu from both team.

Should I worry about ryzen's TDP and plan on upgrading PSU? I'm using cooler master v650.

Hi, Thanks for your suggestion. I'm not planning to go for 8700K because that will cost me more( new mobo, new RAM). I'll wait. Appreciate the help.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I will wait to see what intel and amd offers.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I think I will wait.

Hi , Thanks for your reply. I am using Gigabyte 970 Xtream Gaming. So your saying I will not have any noticable difference with at least 4.7 GHz in 7700K?

Hi, Thanks. I know Ryzen support OC . I think I'll wait to see ryzen 2 and intel's 9th gen's war and then decide. Thanks and much appreciated.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Just saw Ryzen 2 's leaked news. I might go for team red next year .For now I have to have some experience on cpu overclocking. So I might buy a used 7700k if I find a good deal.

Hi, Thanks for your time on reading my post . Currently I'm using intel's 6700 cpu with gigabyte z170x gaming 7. I know you are bit surprised why the hack I have a non K 6th Gen chip with Z170 board!!! Short summary - "Lack of knowledge, fear of overcloking" . Now I want to OC the hell out of an unlocked chip with a decent cooler of course ( like corssair H100i V2 or MasterLiquid 240). More information of my specs are below: Monitor: Asus VX229H ( 1080p, 74Hz) RAM: Ripjaws V 16GB - 2400 MHz PSU: Cooler master V650 Bootdrive: Adata 128GB SSD By keeping above gear the same, should I sell my 6700 and buy 7700K with above mentioned cooler? Or should I wait for intel's 9th gen chip and upgrade the whole system. Thanks and best regards. Have a good day.

Thanks
