    Gaming Headset - G533 vs AKG K702 + AE-5 (or alternative)

    So I've narrowed it down to two headphones that are totally different to ones I started this forum with. Either the: Sennheiser Game One (G4ME One) - https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/sennheiser/game-one-g4me-one-gaming-headset Or: Beyerdynamic DT990 -...

    OC'ing i5 8600k - why are my temps so high?

    That seems incredibly high. Wouldn't 1.4V have my idle temperatures sky high and toast my rig, reducing it's life-span considerably? I was under the impression anything over 1.28V isn't desirable? Plus, I'm only looking to get to a modest 4.5Ghz.

    OC'ing i5 8600k - why are my temps so high?

    Also, what figure should "Vcore Loadline Calibration" be assigned too?

    OC'ing i5 8600k - why are my temps so high?

    To get me started, where would be a good starting value for Vcore to OC @ 4.5Ghz with above rig? Also, am I being under ambitious? Would I notice much improvement in my gaming with an extra 0.2 - 0.4Ghz?

    Gaming Headset - G533 vs AKG K702 + AE-5 (or alternative)

    Excellent, again really appreciate the level of detailed advice provided EsaT. Could I ask your opinion on the testing done by Rtings, who according to their empirical/non-subjective tests (scores out of 10) the G533 compares more favourably to the K702s: G533 Bass = 9.2 Mid = 8.1 Treble: 8.7...

    Gaming Headset - G533 vs AKG K702 + AE-5 (or alternative)

    Thanks EsaT for contributing to my question, very helpful. So it seems apparent I should opt for the K702's, but what additional equipment do I need to support these for gaming (i.e. soundcard, DAC, amp...). My initial instinct is the Sound BlasterX AE-5 as it's a purposely built for...

    Gaming Headset - G533 vs AKG K702 + AE-5 (or alternative)

    Do you use Discord and a mic set-up with this? Any issues with it being an open headphone and sound-leak received by the mic when talking to people in-game?

    Bit of a stange one, but how is this possible? Old Asus Z97-WS

    What do we think then... have I let it go for too little or is £130 a good price?

    Bit of a stange one, but how is this possible? Old Asus Z97-WS

    So I recently upgraded my PC to a new i5 8600k and Gigabyte Auros Gaming 7 MOBO. Since my old parts were redundant to me I listed them on a well know auctioned based website. My ASUS Z97-WS motherboard has sold for £130 within 2 hours, and I have 3 other people ask about it. I searched online...
