    Alkyy got a reaction from Dasu in Upgrade from Sennheiser 598SR   
    I got the massdrops 6XX and do believe they are very great value if you manage to snatch them. Its not a life changing experience as most audiophiles would like you to believe but going to anything worse from them truly shows. The sound quality only really shows its "colour" at higher volumes but maybe thats just the dac/amp, not really sure if it even adds anything. Certainly one of my best purchases as so far ive had no problems with them whatsoever.
     
    Make sure to check out r/headphones for great advice and reviews from actual people not writing for a website to make money or get free samples.

    I come to you once again, the ever so helpful ltt forum. In my previous post I had trouble with my cpu underclocking itself and somebody here said it might have been reaching the terribly high temperatures of 65°C and therefore overheating, advising me to change the thermal paste. After getting myself acquainted with some speedfan program I found out some part of my cpu was reaching the rather hellish temp of 82°C. After great consideration I figured I'd go ahead and change this pasta from the thermal region. However, I found out that my cpu and my heatsink have entered a sacred pact and were therefore insepperable. A visit to some local pc repair shop proved a great success as the man there was too powerful for any paste, thermal or not, to handle. I put the heatsink into my bag and the cpu into my pocket and came home to clean them of this thermal filth. After putting them back together and battling the pasta once more as it tried to escape its confines, I was successful in putting my pc back to how it was. That is when the devil attacked. As I valiantly booted it up I was met with a black screen and a terrifying message: "No signal detected."
     
    Strange Things I've noticed:
    1. The pc boots up normally. This is actually abnormal for for as long as my barely functioning memory can remember, whenever I booted up my pc I would hear a milisecond of sound, then a 2 second silence and only then a continuation of sound.
    2. One of my gpu fans isn't spinning. No idea how this could have happened or how recent it is however, I don't think it was like this two months ago at the the of my last post.
    3. The ethernet cable isn't lighting up. Even during times of no internet activity from my part and even when the pc is semi-sleeping, the ethernet cable is always making a light show worthy of the raddest ibiza party. Not this time however.
     
    What I've tried so far
    1. Turning it on and off again, multiple times.
    2. Changing which slot on my gpu the screen is connected to, multiple times.
    3. Looking at my pc again with my eyes squinted as to call it out on its bullshit.
    4. Reading the stickied thread on this forum
    5. Checking if every cable is secured
    6. Removing the motherboards battery, twice.
    7. Booting the pc up with only one stick of ram.
    8. Poking something called PX_1 on my motherboard because it looked cute.
     
    What I haven't tried (yet).
    1. Actually looking at the cpu whether some of the gold thingies haven't been damaged by the wild inside of my leather jackets pocket. I haven't done this because I'm not sure whether the paste has solidified yet to the point I could remove both the heatsink and the cpu together as before. Not even 24 hours have passed since I replaced it. I've also run out of thermal paste to replace if need be. The cpu fit into its slot so I don't see how it could be damaged.

    My specs are on my profile, advice appreciated.

    @Cyberspirit @Gegger Mission accomplished. I have used my gym card to bend those pins back into shape and with the help of that thing that opens the sim/memory card slots on my phone it was quite a breeze. As with all things however, its not all good. My cpu issues havent been fixed and new issues have arisen.
    1. My HDD seems to be making quite some terrible sounds almost all the time,
    2. My SSD isnt being picked up by the BIOS and therefore I cannot set it in the boot order.
     
    Anyways, thanks for the quick replies guys.
