I'm not interested in something like the E10k or the Fulla or Dragonfly or majority of the tiny portable amps. I looked at all three, as they were usually the most commonly suggested, and they ultimately seemed unappealing. I had actually looked at the Sound Blaster Z. Only the OEM version...

So, I have a pair of ATH-M50X's, which replaced my Fischer Audio FA-003 clone. I use them for general media use. Music, movies, gaming, etc. I use them on my GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 (Rev 1.3) with Realtek ALC889. Nothing fancy, but I did **** up the rear panel audio, and have been using the S/PDIF out...

Quote:   Wow, I love the mouse. Still don't like Razer, and I would never pay for a Razer product, but this looks really nice. You should try it with a good mouse, like the M90 or M95. I'd love to see how it looks.

Quote:   He fell victim to Intel's marketing. Nevermind that the 3930K is only 5% slower at half the cost. Or that the 2600K or 3770K (Depending on age) is pretty ******* powerful with an overclock. Or that a single 7990 will outperform two Titans for $600 cheaper, and you aren't...

Quote:   Look into the Ducky Shine II with numpad. It is pricey, yes, but once you go mechanical, you won't go back. Also, look up what the different Cherry MX switches do.

Quote:   Nice. Clearly you know your ****. That build is balanced very well. Except the X40. The X60 isn't too much more and it performs a lot better. Actually, are you sure it's the 3930K? You have a Z77 socket motherboard.

Quote:   There really isn't a good one until a PS4 multi-platform game comes out and / or HD 8000. I also get up to 130fps maxed out on BF3 with my 7970, but I didn't play multiplayer on account of unapproved sources.

My 7970 idles at 23-30C (Depending on ambient) and only goes up to 66C while BitCoin mining. As for the drivers, if you download the latest CCC package, it automatically installs the correct driver.   The hottest card in recent times was the GTX 480, maxing out at up to 120C, so I'm...

Quote:   I would wait for the 8000 series and get an 8950 or 8970. nVidia has sucked since the 8800 and 9800 cards. The entire GTX name cycle has been a flop. With the exception of the GTX Titan, the 7000 series, dollar for dollar, is still as or more powerful, and it was released...

Quote:   It's a thread to show off your computer rigs. As far as specs go, mine is likely pretty high on the list, as this is an audio forum, not a hardware forum.   Perhaps the thread was only for audio equipment, or perhaps it just immediately went that direction. The OP wasn't...

I have verified it is a driver issue of some sort. When I boot into Mac, it does not do this.   Exact same set up and hardware.

Quote:   Don't know if the OP still cares, but I have these. They're about 2.5" tall on the inside and they sound really nice.

I may not have the best audio equipment, but my actual computer is probably in the top 10. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Owndapwn/saved/zYj   The actual computer. This is a temporary home and I hate having the computer here. I have a super nice L desk in the basement, but we had to redo...

So I recently bought the HM5's and they're really nice. Already really good sound canceling, but I am aware that phase inversion can carry it the rest of the way.   I have a USB headset with mic. The Mic is considerably better than the headphones, so they should work just fine. I may...
