  1. Basically what sticknstone said. Bluetooth sound devices (to my understanding) are treated as-if they were their own sound device, meaning you don't even need a soundcard. Just check the BIOS for bluetooth capability or get a dongle. That is, unless you plan on using a cord thats included with the headphones (from what I see on manufacturer's website), then you can plug them straight into your soundcard. A bit surprised that $200+ headphones don't have a dedicated dongle included as it was the case with all of my Bluetooth mid-range preipherals ...and I would like to apologize for a late responce, but sometimes the feed gets spammed by bots and its easy to miss a legit question. Don't ever feel dumb about asking questions, as my Sensei used to say, the only dumb question is the one you've had but never asked. Glad to see OCC still has new blood flowing in. Lets make this place great again!
  2. Says video is private Jim
  3. Glad you got it figured out! I've had FPS drop to 2-3 FPS in games, for whatever reason Razer Chroma SDK was causing that, had to kill the process and everything is back to normal.
  4. I remember back in time I've read about people overclocking monitors to achieve higher refresh rate. Some monitors (like Asus ROG Swift PG348Q that I use) have built-in overclock function (this one allows to up the refresh rate to 100 Hz at a push of a button), I personally havent noticed THAT much of a difference between lowest 60 Hz setting and highest 100 Hz setting, but that is possibly due to the monitor being a native GSync monitor, everything looks so smooth with it on The only reason to keep your screen in the lowest rate is that it extends the lifetime but then again I can't remember the source of where I've read it so I won't swear by it
  5. I am just waiting on RTX series to drop to MSRP, then definitely showing off a new build But yeah as one of the other threads mentioned, overclocking has become a matter of "auto-tuning" and most of the components are factory-OCed or already at their limit where overclocking wont give any sensible gains, so not too many people are even interested in overclocking them. It surely is nice to hang out here, I always have OCC open in one of the tabs and following Jim's news posts on gaming etc. @Guest_Jim: I miss the posts "sorta-related" to PCs like quantum computing or meta-materials with a potential to be used in the future computers, those were very informative and fun to read!
  6. Sucks. I would think they should reward the customers not try to sorta-scam them
  7. Epic! Love it! Little blue & red light look amazing, reminds me of Need4speed Hot Pursuit! Now you just need to mount a couple of wheels to the sides of the table for full immersion haha
  8. Tell me those fans where the headlights should be are LED/RGB, because I totally want to see them in the dark/lit up!!
  9. I dig the concept! Now you got me thinking if I should build my own desk haha
  10. I might make a jump to 4k but I guess I'll wait until 30** series NVidia are available... TitanXP chugs well in 3440x1440 for now!
  11. Wow. I remember the times when my Asus PG34 was the pinnacle, gone are those times! Congrats thats a great looking monitor. I've picked up the 34" Acer at first but the lightbleed was terrible. How is it on this one?
  12. I do, but I use my speakers to listen to the music a lot when I am searching for new material for DJ sets. Having them pointed outwards, as AkakmanH said, muffles the highs a bit plus I am not a big fan of overhyped bass which is the reason I went with Yamaha DXR15s for a nice, flat, balanced sound. If used them for causal gaming etc I probably wouldn't worry about positioning as much but I am no sound expert and those are just my personal preferences when using PC connected speakers
  13. Merry Christmas to y'all! ...and to the year 2020 - Yippee Ki Yay, motherfucker!
  14. If you compare a line of motherboards from the same manufacturer you'll notice that with higher pricepoint some features are added, like extra USB/PCI ports, higher RAM speeds, better quality components to allow for higher overclocks etc. Basically when picking a motherboard think about headroom on all the components you want to run in the system and make sure the motherboard supports everything you plan on using. Once those requirements are met, you have your perfect motherboard. There is no point in paying extra for, lets say, a model that allows for higher RAM speeds if you don't plan on using sticks that run at that speed. Hope this helps
