Greetings everyone! After looking at some headphones and ignoring some and taking other advice from this audio board, I landed at an attractive deal from beyerdynamic, offering the DT 990 Pro not only in black and a good bit cheaper but also with an Impedance of 80 Ohms rather than the usual 250. I really like how they look and from what I've seen and heard I believe I'll like the sound signature and feel as well, if I wasn't getting these I'd be getting the normal 250Ohm pros and a DAC/AMP, and as always if I feel I am in luck I decided to check if I'm missing some detail. The problem with checking details is that there is no specific datasheet: The datasheet at the bottom of the page is not the one for this specific product but rather the normal DT 990 Pro, as shown in the picture and the number in the top left corner. Therefore, I am here to consult the LTT Audio board: Can by onboard sound run it? I have a Gigabyte Gaming X X570 Motherboard. I don't know which other stats are relevant for this, so I don't know if it helps, but it uses the Realtek ALC887 audio codec. Also, I don't really like very loud audio, I have fairly sensitive hearing so I prefer it a bit more on the quieter side. I tried - and failed - to get on the english beyerdynamic page, so here's the link to the german page of the product in question, if you're in luck, you might get redirected: https://www.beyerdynamic.de/dt-990-pro-limited-edition-80-ohm.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_N7hvsDd7wIVh5SyCh2ndw3HEAkYAiABEgJiXvD_BwE It has a button marked "Datenblatt" if you scroll down to the Downloads section, thats the data sheet download. Thanks for any responses! Best regards.

Good day! I'm looking to buy a microphone and a headphone (and anything that increases the value for money if there is anything) for a total of roughly 300€, a bit more would be okay but preferably a bit less. I don't really know a lot about audio at all, so I'm unsure whether the things I'm looking at are a good value. Regarding the microphone: It doesn't have to be anything special, but it should be clear and pleasant to listen to. I'm not planning on doing any recording, however for the sake of my friends ears it should still sound adequate in the discord. I'm currently using a Logitech G633 headset. The microphone is acceptable but far from good. It also picks up a lot of keyboard noises (I use Cherry MX Brown keys) which is the most annoying part. I've been looking at the Marantz Professional MPM-1000U. I don't have space on my desk for a microphone arm, I do however have an unused shelfboard roughly half a meter over my mouth that might make a good place to suspend a mic from. I need it exclusively for my computer, it doesn't have to be mobile. Regarding the headphone: I'm gonna be using it mostly for discord, gaming (all kinds, a lot of shooters and RTS though), and a bit of music (hiphop primarily). I don't plan to use it with my phone and I don't plan to leave the house with it. I can probably fit an Amp on my table if it's helpful. I have a Gigabyte Gaming X X570 Motherboard. Looking forward to any responses! Best regards.

Why do you like wireless keyboards? I only see disadvantages in them.

Minecraft RTX is certainly an exciting thing! I'm soon to own a new PC and I'm afraid I'll miss the 15 FPS min settings in minecraft my current one is running, so I'm hyped to hear about a setting that can emulate the experience. There is an issue though: I'm playing in the java version of Minecraft. RTX support was announced "for Windows 10". Can anyone tell me if they mean the OS by this (meaning you can only run it on a Windows 10 device) or the Windows 10 Edition of Minecraft (so it doesn't work with java edition)? Greetings L.F.

I pretty much already have a fully researched and planned build, I did it about 2 weeks in advance. From today, is it worth it to still wait for the "official" Black Friday/Cyber Monday?

Hello there! So I'm still picking parts for my 1400€ gaming PC. This time I'm bothering you all because I plan on ordering all compontents on cyber monday/black friday. I've never ordered anything on these events though, and so I have no idea what to expect. How great are the general deals? What are some more specific parts you would expect to go on sale more extremely? Once again, ask anything you need to know!

Essentially, I should get one with good thermal performance and noise levels and overclock it myself + rather a better chipset than worse but more expensive one. Got it. Thanks a lot! On that note, have a nice night gentlemen!

So I've been picking parts for my 1400€ (in Germany, that is) gaming rig lately. Now I don't know a lot about PC hardware, so I've been wondering what the different manufacturers of graphics cards change when keeping the same chipset (like Gigabyte, Asus etc.). The most expensive graphics card with the same chipset can easily triple the price of the cheapest ones. What are the differences here? Is it worth for example buying an expensive RTX 2060 SUPER / 2070 rather than a normal 2070 SUPER? What do I need to pay attention to on the data sheets? Are cards that ship overclocked worth paying more money for? Or might it even theoretically be better to SLI two cheaper chipsets rather than one expensive one (E.g. 2x GTX 1660Ti rather than 1x RTX 2070 SUPER, because money spent is almost never proportional to the graphics card test score)?

What do you mean by that? The 3700X is a good bit more expensive than the 3600. I'm not sure how that saves me more money on my GPU. On that topic though, what's the optimal percentage of budget spent on the GPU in a gaming PC? Edit: Okay I get it now, I misread that sentence. Thanks a lot!

That's good to know, thanks a lot!

So, I'm currently still picking parts for my 1400€ gaming PC. I don't know a lot about PC parts, but I do know that currently AMD is killing it with their CPUs. Is there any point to go for a similarly priced intel CPU rather than a Ryzen 5 3600 for gaming?

It's a bit on the more expensive side at 200€ in Germany, is there maybe another a bit cheaper alternative? A friend of mine has got an ASRock Phantom Gaming 4, but I don't how good it is. Greetings, L. F.

Well, as you know, there's boxed versions and tray versions of CPUs, boxed versions coming with a cooler and tray version without a cooler. The website that I'm currently looking at, the tray version costs 194€ and the boxed version costs 195€. That's only 1€ for a CPU cooler (And a shiny sticker, yay!)

I'm currently at it picking parts for my first PC. Is the Wraith Stealth that comes with the Ryzen 5 3600 boxed good enough? With the boxed version often costing only 1€ more, I'd love to save some money here. Ask anything you need to know! Greetings, L. F.

Hey there! I have the 3.1 from a German website called Geizhals, it's usually reliable but sometimes a bit inaccurate. Otherwise, thanks for the detailed information! I don't know that much about PC parts so every bit of information helps. Memory kit is currently Patriot Viper 4 Blackout 16 GB DDR4-3200 and PSU be quiet! System Power 9 500 W 80+ Bronze Certified Power supply (whatever that means). I haven't really put a lot of thought in either, for the memory I just rolled with something affordable that's okay in specs and for the PSU something that exceeds the pcpartpicker estimated wattage by about 50-100W and that's high enough on the price scale so it's likely it's not gonna kill me. I've been told my PSU isn't designed for mid tier PCs, but I don't really understand how that would show if the wattage and cooling is fine. Additionally, I don't mind if it's not modular, I'll take it but I wouldn't pay extra for it. My budget is about 1400€, by the way. Greetings, L. F. Quick edit: I live in Germany.
