I used the pin method instructed by ASUS twice and even removed the onboard battery.

I tried to Clear RTC RAM but it wouldn't boot with the pins jumped.

Is the goal to Clear RTC RAM?

I have an Asus z97 Pro-Gamer motherboard. I'll look in the manual.

I am not sure. Where would it be located or where could I find instructions to locate it?

Alright, so I have been trying to solve this problem for a while and I cannot find anything that helps. When I reboot my computer the BIOS always resets. It goes to the original post screen. The "American..." page with the triangle. I believe this started when I switched from HDMI to DP but I am not totally sure. However, I have found a way around this, if I unplug my computer from the wall, it will boot normally. I am thinking it might be due to a cheap-ish power supply? Any ideas would be very helpful. ~Aurthus

I don't understand. Why two pumps? Why two large reservoirs? Help me understand the ways of water cooling. Bleed the loop? Pumps sucking air from reservoirs? What?

Thank you again!

Thank you for your help! I really appreciate it. I do have a few more questions/clarifications. You say sound leakage doesn't bleed into recordings often. Why then do some YouTubers do sound leakage tests? Are they really turning up the gain on their microphones to be ultra sensitive to it? Or is the music just that loud? Even Linus mentioned that open back headphones might interfere with microphones. I ask not because I do not trust you. In the audio section a recommended amp is the Schiit Vali 2 with LSST Tubes, which I understand are solid state. If I look into tube amps, should I consider different tubes? I have seen a lot of stuff about Preamps, as it is the main feature between the Magni and the Magni Uber. What do they do and how do you use them (interface, RCA?)? I am under the impression that they are for microphones and can be used for monitoring but do they effect the quality of the microphone input in any way? Thanks again, you have been a big help.

I would prefer to keep it below $400.

I am looking to upgrade my audio experience. I have been doing lots of research on trying to find the perfect headphones for my needs. Quite frankly, I am severely confused. I need to prioritize comfort because I tend to wear my headphones for long sittings (anywhere from 1 to 5 hours with upwards of 3 hours being most common). However, I still want great sound quality. Recently I have been looking at the DT 770, DT 880, and the DT 990. I have seen a lot of great reviews regarding their comfort and sound. However, I do not know which pair best suits my needs. I record occasionally, however I listen to music, game and watch multimedia more often, and I would prefer to not have sound leakage in my video. When I do record my microphone is very close to my cheek. So one question I have is, how much do the 880's and 990's leak? Of course I am not going to be jamming to metal and making my ears bleed, but there still might be the occasional audio spike from the game or collaborators, who occasionally yell at the top of their lungs. I personally would prefer to have the widest sound stage possible, and I understand that crown to belong to open backed headphones, which I would love to experience. In addition I have no problem with buying the higher ohm versions. I hear that they can produce cleaner and/or tighter sound. It is my understanding that you may need an amp to power headphones with higher impedance. If an amp is needed, what specs should I look for? What is the difference between solid state and tube? Which one produces the better sound? I have seen people recommending tube amps for very high impedance (600 ohm). Is there justification for that? Thank you for your time and sorry for my erratic curiosity. I hope this made sense and you feel that you can respond.

Because I am a noob. That's why.

I am in the market for some new headphones that do not need a microphone or anything of that nature. I am tired of my Logitech G230s, they are painful and annoying to wear for periods longer than 10 minutes. I need some headphones that are comfortable for long periods of usage and have good sound. Thanks ~Aurthus

Yes you are correct, it is the 4690k. However, I have looked and looked but I cannot find a system log or error message. The only thing it says on that screen is to hit F1 to recover bios settings.
