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

Someone offered me $1500 for my 6800xt, tempting as that's basically double. I haven't even been playing games hardly at all for awhile now.

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

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

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.

Hmm, I didn't play on PS. But might want to do some burnouts on a chopper one day.

Wasn't this game ridiculously over the top?

Did you play on PS?

Insanely good explanation of how AMD PBO2 and Curve Optimizer works: LINK

RTX 3060 reviews... Apparently only between 5-8% faster than a 2060 Super for a more expensive price

RTX 3060ti seems to be a much better buy.

Very sad, used to easily waste an hour or two in that place no problem, gigantic store.

Yeah it makes sense, it's missing like what 25%-30% cuda cores from 3060 Ti? Where as a 3060Ti is only down like 20% cuda cores compared to 3070. 3060 Ti is really the "best buy" in Nvidias lineup at MSRP, maybe just slightly more value than 3070.

Also dropped a bit of memory bandwith from 3060 Ti where as 3060 Ti has same memory bandwith as 3070.

What are we feeling on (not that it matters cuz no stock) on 6700XT and 6700 pricing next week?

I think the 6700XT they will push to $449 and 6700 will be $379. 6700XT outperforming 3060 Ti but not a 3070 while the 5700 will be slightly slower than 3060 Ti and easily outperform a 3060.

Hoping they could keep pricing like last gen and go $349/$399 again though for 6700/6700 XT.
