    Being a corsair cooler can you download iCue and see the pump speed?

    I mean most modern engines with good oil changes and maintenance can/will make it to 300k miles without any major issues. It is the lack of proper maintenance most times that kills cars, or fixing easy things. Rarely will a rod be thrown from a block, sensors here or there, plugs and such is all regular wear items on cars. Now how long certain brands sensors last is another story all together lol.
     
    Hoping my next car is this... Would make commuting more fun and be cheaper to maintain lol. Plus more tech than what I have now  looking at hopefully mid year 2020 to switch over if the pieces fall together like they should! 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring in Sonic Grey Pearl. That color should do well with the dirt roads I live down lol.

    I have a 2700 (3.9ghz all core OC, and 3200mhz ram) and a 2070 as well, and its a GPU bottle neck with that set up honestly. 100 FPS on MW with a 1440p screen on ultra sounds about normal. I have BF5 dumbed down for a better competitive feel, and I average about 120-130fps on my set up. On Borderlands 3 I run about 90 or so FPS with a custom setting set up (from what I remember). Seems these newer games are poorly optimized. That and I feel the RTX cards leave something to be desired for the price.

    You could look for 280mm according to the Coolermaster website. The 280mm offers a decent bit better cooling than a 240mm if both are decent coolers. I run a Corsair H115i Platinum and have no complaints. Dropped temps on my 2700 under load. Also, 140mm fans are far quieter than 120mms tend to be. Able to move more air, at the same RPM, so therefore you can slow down the fan and move ample air.

    Yes I suppose I should point out, I do not have an amp or any other stand alone headset powering tool. I have one of three choices to power whatever headphones I go with (I don't know if any of them present a difference from one another). Option 1 (preferable) would be by Asus Prime X470 Pro mobo, my front panel connector on my Meshify C tower, or my Corsair St100 headphone stand. This has some eq adjusters in the iCue software as well as the option for surround sound, but I have not tried it at all.

    Thank you for your input, I see you a lot in this section a lot so your feedback is appreciated. How long is the wear in period for these 58X headphones? And by weaker I assume you mean the fullness of sound that they produce correct? I am far from an audiophile. Yeah I had been looking at the weight of the headphones because I know that it can play a big part in long term usage comfort, and had seen the K7XX were about 25 grams lighter compared to the 58X. Now the next question, what is the size of your head for the comfort portion? I have a larger head, so I think that has played into why I am so sensitive to headphones. I wear the Void Pros at setting 3 on both of the bands, but from what I had read, the Void pro headphones are massive in terms of their adjust ability. 
     
    Are there any other options I should be entertaining for my usage case and price point or am I on the right track narrowing it down to these two? These would be my first open back headset that I can think of.

    Also, so it is known, this is where I am basing my preference towards the K7XX. This guys video made sense to me, and his head is a similar sizing to mine so that is where I am coming from with the comfort.

    Looking at after the holidays picking up a different set up for mic and headset for gaming and what not. Primary use will be gaming, while also listening to music through Discord. For mics it depends on what I get for the holidays, but I am hoping to get the ModMic wireless and I can just pop it on the headset and use that since it has nice quality, least nicer than what I have now. Currently I am running the Corsair Void Pro, not the new one, but the older generation. These to me are extremely comfortable, while heavy they do not feel funny on my head. With that being said, I ran Razer Krakens before and they were uncomfortable on my head after about 45 minutes. I feel that I suffer more from discomfort on the headband than clamping force, and the headband area is where I seem to have the most issues with wanting to adjust.
     
    I have seen the AKG 7XX recommended as a nice ~$200 USD headsets for gaming, along with the 58X. Now I have a sensitive head so comfort will first and foremost be my focus.The AKG 7XX also have a style I like, and the single cord running to the headset is a plus for me for ease of use. I know the 58X are cheaper and seems to have a tipping point as far as being more of a fan favorite than the 7XXs, but for my specific use case, does it matter which I go with? Would I be better off getting what I like the look of more (I know no matter what I go with it will sound better than the Void Pros as they are a tad distant or empty if I had to describe them)? Also, I noticed on the headband of the 58X there is a little cut out of the foam, I am wondering if this will cause an issue with comfort. I am leaning towards the K7XXs as I like the style more, and I have heard they are rather comfortable, as well as the single cord running to the headset. 
     
    Are there any other recommendations for headsets similar to this price range ~$200 USD that are known as being very comfortable and would suit my use case?

    I picked up GTA5 on steam since it was on sale. Got one of the ones with the shark card money because they games in online you need stupid amounts of money to really enjoy the new cars they drop. Between that, BF5 and BL3 I think I have some solid games to make my system work. Bf5 is much better since the pacific war maps came out. Some really good new guns and maps. Definite bug fixed making the game fun again.

    My buddy picked up this card for like $306 USD shipped to his house off Newegg. Some funky deal they had going on for a 5700xt, was originally at $369.99, but they took an additional 89.99 off at checkout for some odd reason. Needless to say, he got an absolute steal of a deal on a decent 5700xt. Should be at his house soon actually. And it came with free games

    Lol I am a head and shoulders guy. I noticed when I use her salon quality stuff it is softer but my hair is weird to begin with. Stupid thick and straight. It can be 3-6 inches long and still stand up straight. Noticed once I started styling it with a douchebag style it did get softer on account of the gel. But it will almost always be kinda corse if I had to guess. Genetics lol

    This is my thought too. Not to mention, black friday shopping is far more likely for packages to be handled poorly, or missing or late due to the uptick in people ordering stuff.

    I don't care much about bezels as I wont be using two monitors as one screen. It's a TN panel I'd much rather a IPS or VA. As I don't care much for faster response since I don't play any competitive games. I'm also fairly tall so I need a monitor that can be adjusted for height. Other than that yea for someone who is looking for a new decent monitor for competitive gaming that would be a great pick.

    Wagon life is worth the comments here or there lmao. So much more tool for groceries, moving stuff, buying new stuff. Heck when I got my new desk, which is a 60x30x1.5inch solid chunk of butcher block plus its legs fit in there with room to spare. Could have fit 3-4 more no issues. 
     
    I am gearing up to take mine to New Mexico from So Cal for Thanksgiving. About 1250 miles or so. I recon I can do it in less than 30 gallons of diesel with my tiddy wagon. Maybe even closer to 25 gallons lol. Have two black labs in the back with the seat folded down, about 9.5 hours each way!

    My brother had a 90s or early 2000s Saturn sedan with a stick. Think got pretty decent mpg. His was a stick though with the 4 banger. Poor car was a bit of a pile as far as the specific quality of his goes. Was the most base of base options lol.
