Don't buy that headset. Get a Steel Series Arctis 7. And damn son did you overdo it or what?

I have both the Arctis 7 and the Game Ones he has right now. The Sennheisers are worlds better than the Arctis 7s. I do prefer the Arctis 7s over Senn's wireless ones though. Sennheiser just needs to make a wireless version of the Game Ones using that same exact design, no changes at all to the design and layout, just electronics. Those are the most comfortable headphones to exist. Even the new versions aren't as comfortable as those. They took a step back with the new design.

Why not get a nice pair of headphones with a dac and standalone mic?

Sennheiser HD58X GOAT

I liked these, but the comfort level of the K701 is just on another level. It's like a cloud on your head. Easily the GOAT'd sub $300 headphone for me.

I wish my desk had enough overhang so I could get a clamp arm for a mic. Currently have the newest Antlion mic, which I've been happy with. Just don't like the extra cord to deal with

You still have your 5700 XT? make that money and run.

Worst case, just throw both cards in your computer and make money mining

I have hd58x and usb mod mic. Love it.

Nah, already got a wire going out, what’s 40 more?

Got bored tonight, and spent 2 hours benchmarking...

Managed to find a suitable undervolt with my 5600x using PBO2 with Curve Optimizer, and also got a stable undervolt with my 2070 Super using the V/F curve tool in MSI Afterburner...

Increased my Timespy score to 9957. Gonna try to go for 10k the next time I mess around with this

If you're going for 10k why would you undervolt your cpu

Thermals for the most part in an ITX case. At stock this thing hit 91 degrees C in Cinebench before I added a fan-shroud for the Noctua cooler, and added Curve Optimizer.

Now this thing hits better numbers and temps with Cinebench with my current setup as opposed to stock.

I'm hitting 11,147 in Cinebench R23 with this setup at a max of 82 degrees, and have consistently higher average all-core frequencies instead of what I was hitting at stock.

Theoretically, I could set a higher boost clock override in PBO2 now that I'm fine in terms of temps, but I'll have to see if the undervolt I've applied still works at a higher boost frequency.

Right now, single core with the undervolt still boosts all the way to the stock max 4.65 GHz, but at a lower voltage of around 1.2ish instead of 1.3-1.35ish at stock.

EDIT: Just as a comparison, at stock with both the 5600x and 2070 Super, I hit a Timespy score of 9620, with the CPU score 500 points lower at stock, compared to with the undervolt.
