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 -...
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.
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?
Hey guys,
So I'm a first time OC'er and have a pretty decent rig which I use purely for gaming, I have been following some basic guides online to increase my i5-8600K from it's factory 3.60Ghz. My specs are as follows:
Case: Phanteks Enthoo
MOBO: Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7
GPU: Palit...
Just further my post above, here's the link to the Rtings page:

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...
For the benefit of any advice, my motherboard is an Z370 AORUS Gaming 7. Onboard audio is listed as:
Audio
Realtek® ALC1220 codec
ESS9018Q2C chip
Support for Sound BlasterX 720°
High Definition Audio
2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
Support for S/PDIF Out
Maybe this doesn't need upgrading as it's quite a...
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...
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?
New to the forum, but this seems like a good place to ask this question. So firstly, appreciate anyone who takes the time to assist on my question.
So I am seeking a new gaming headset/audio set-up for purely FPS gaming (PUBG, CS:GO etc.) in a quiet room, I will not be looking to take any of...
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...
I am on the cusp of buying a Dell S2417DG as a new gaming monitor.
Just wondering if there's any owners of this in the forum who can advise of their experiences? Or if there is another monitor out there I should be considering.
Additionally, does anyone have any advice I should take on board...
Hi,
Was hoping I could get some advice here on a new monitor purchase which would be greatly appreciated.
I have just bought a 1080 GPU for my computer which I use for both gaming and professional use. For work I utilise a dual screen set-up whilst for gaming I do play modern games that are...
I am looking for a either a mid or full tower, and not fussed about aesthetics at all.
What would be the best case for both cooling and noise performance?
JasonM, actually I recently downloaded this when doing a full Windows re-install and it came from the ASUS website when downloading a SATA Driver for my Z97-WS motherboard.
I am not really sure how it works or what it does... after installing it just seems to sit in my task bar and there is...
