How do I do that ? Is there a switch or button for that mode?

Hello, is the surround 7.1 switched on ? I’m leaving it off permanently.

Hello all, I just recently got an Arctis 7 from SteelSeries. As per many reviews around, the Dhoby surround 7.1 is not advised to be switched on when playing games as it sounds rather hollow. As such, I leave it off. Although it is switched off, I can still feel the surround capabilities in PUBG. Am thinking to enhance the directional sounds further with tweaking the EQ levels. Anyone managed to tweak it to a level that works well with PUBG? It is currently on default, gaming mode. Sometimes I do have some minor issues trying to locate the sound direction. Any advices ?

And you are getting the 7700k because ... ? That cpu has heat issue, heat spike issues.

Will undervolt cause the cpu speed run below stock speed or affect the boost speed?

Done! Set up a fan curve to run at constant RPM before raming up after 70 degrees c. If i set the vcore to run at 1.25, will it still run at base 4.2Ghz ? Should i expect lower idle temps or will it only be noticeable under load ? I assume the heat spikes for the 7700K would spike to a lower temperature ? Its spiking from 30 odd degrees to 60 plus now and then. All in all, i would like to maintain at base 4.2Ghz while reducing CPU temps, if it could be lower at idle, that would be good. With the aircon swtiched on @ 1.3 Vcore, the idle temp was 34 degrees c! Thats good because previously it would be at 37/38 degrees c with the top exhaust. EDIT: The front 3 fans are running at 1000RPM, 1 exhaust at the back fan running at 1000RPM. CPU cooler running at 1200RPM. Will it be wide to standardise all the RPM including the cpu cooler ?

By the way, would you recommend a fan curve or a constant rpm? I have currently set it to run at 1000rpm for all the case fans take reference the sensor in between the gpu and cpu. If using a fan curve, which sensor should I be using ?

Not sure if it’s because it’s night time here cooler now, but it seems like the gpu and cpu temps are less 2 to 3 degrees. Hmmm.

I suppose i can give this a try later at night hopefully, the changes are significant! my first DIY in fact. haha The local distributor here sold it with 2 x 120mm! A friend of mine passed me his extra case fan as it did not need it and i bought a cooler master one. Therefore i have 4 fans all together.

Great! I will do just that and compare the temp when the extra fan is in front (3x120mm) or front top.

Hmmm. I believe the Core voltage is set to default stock settings. I live near the equator, running PUBG brings up the CPU temp to about 68 - 74 degrees c, and gpu to about 68 - 75 degrees c. Varies because at night, i would switch on the aircon. My PSU should has its fan facing downwards. Am thinking if i should move the back top exhaust fan to front top intake, leaving it will only 1 exhaust at the back ...

Do you mean like this config ?

Hi all, I’m New to this committee! Below is my system hardware: Case: Factual design Meshify C Cpu: 7700k Cpu cooler: Cooler master hyper 212 Mobo: Gigabyte Z270 HD3P Ram: 2x 8gb ddr4 Gskill Gpu: Galax 1070ti Psu: Seasonic 750w gold Due to the heat spike issues of the 7700k, I have decided not to overclock the cpu. I have set the cpu cooler to run at 1000rpm constant. My case fans config is as follows: 2x 120 intake fans in the front 1x 120 exhaust fan at the back 1x 120 exhaust fan at the top towards the back My question is that should I consider the Psu fan as an exhaust as well? How do you recommend setting a constant rpm for the case fans if I would like to run it as constant speed while maintaining a positive air flow? Current it is set to the following: Front 2 fans intake at 1100rpm Back and top exhaust at 800rpm So give me your inputs
