Hey all! Thanks everyone. Indeed, it looks like the bios is probably at fault here. The sticker on the board says 1407 and the minimum required is 2607. Hopefully this means that it isn't borked hardware though (hopefully) I don't have anyone I can borrow a suitable processor from...

Hey all! I've recently attempted a major hardware upgrade and the system currently won't post New Hardware: Ryzen 9 5900X ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wifi) VENGEANCE® LPX 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C18 (CMK32GX4M2Z3600C18) Existing hardware Powercolour Red Devil Vega 64 Corsair AX760...

Thanks for the advice and recommendations! I ended up going for the Steelseries Arctis 5 (so the cheaper end of your recommendations) as I had to half my budget and I could also purchase them locally (for the same price as OcUK). So far, thoroughly satisfied - really comfortable fit, great...

Thanks for the links! I think PC World had a bunch of the Steelseries on show so I might go back over later today and see what they're like to wear, listen to etc. The white ones are a touch over my budget but I can probably be convinced to invest... Probably worth mentioning this - my Mobo is...

Hey all! Following a recent failure, I'm in the market for a new Headset (for my desktop PC) and am looking for advice/recommendations. Budget: <£100 would be great but maximum would be <£200 Usage: PC Gaming (all sorts, FPS, strategy, RPG etc.), music, movies etc. Requirements: 'Rich'...

Now why didn't I think of that :/ Plugged them into my laptop and sure enough, the problem persists. Guess I'll be posting for new headset suggestions then! Thanks all!

Hey all, tl;dr My headphones are dominately playing sound from only one ear cup. Checked all the obvious things, including levels/balance and all is nominal. Have they just failed? About nine months ago I picked up the MSI Immerse GH70 Gaming Headset to replace my vastly old Roccat Kave 5.1...

tl;dr I took the deep dive last night and ordered the PowerColor 64 Red Devil (which has now been dispatched: super speedy as always Overclockers!) Thanks for all the advice and thoughtful discussion. From the thread, it certainly seemed that investing in Vega 64 wouldn't be a terrible idea :p...

Ah, wish I'd seen this before posting an update. Thanks for letting me know your experience, especially with the Ryzen's as well. The Vega 64 Red Devil is starting to look a good choice! :)

Thanks everyone for the thought provoking responses! Indeed I have a working 6970 (this one to be precise: https://www.asus.com/Graphics-Cards/EAH6970_DCII2DI4S2GD5/) so, if a refresh of Polaris is indeed imminent then I can *probably* muddle through for a couple of weeks. I haven't tried...

Thanks muchly for the insight! No doubt you're right about bottlenecking on my CPU. If I did get new graphics now, I would probably bite the bullet and upgrade the rest of the main hardware by the end of October. While I wasn't planning to upgrade until the end of the year, the rest of the PC is...

Hey everyone! After 5.5 years of faithful service my 7970 passed into the electronic afterlife this evening. Fans still spin but nothing presents to the monitors. Fiddled with plugs, seating, gave it a clean etc. Swapped around cables, tested monitors on flatmates computer, all seemed fine...

I've been debating getting a new headset for a really, really long time. I've always bottled out in the past, found a reason why it wouldn't be a good idea, always convinced myself to stick with my current paper-weight of a headset. I took one look at the Dragon and, before I knew it, the...
