I'm in need of a new pair of headphones for gaming as well as just listening to music on my phone (android) so preferably something that can do Bluetooth or even just use a cable. So far I've narrowed it down to the corsair hs80 and the Asus rog delta s. I'm still looking and combing through the options but would love some feedback on if anyone had these and has opinions on them? Or anyone else with a great pair. Budget isn't too much of an issue bit I'm not really wanting to spend close to $400 for a pair. My current ones are turtle beach elite pro 2 with the super amp

you barley notice a difference between those 2 on windows anyway
dry hollow
you won't really notice a difference unless you move video files around a lot or something like that
vast harness
not even with an HDD as long as it is properly optimized
remote nexus
Try to change your device. Are you using laptop or computer? Do you have both?
If so then try to play Roblox at both devices and see which has a difference.
If you spot a difference of one of those devices then it would seem the problem with the CPU.
Or at least check the specs for one of those devices.
That would be helpful
hasty prawn
@abstract kite either the 2.5 ssd or get a pcie nvme card and another nvme ssd stick and put your current and the new one in that share their speeds and storage it would still work out cheaper than that 2.5 ssd.
hasty prawn
@dry hollow Games load faster with a nvme I'm always waiting for my friend who uses 2.5 sata in pretty much every game we play. They will write the game significantly faster too as well as verify files and as mentioned read it a lot faster. Nvme are superior in every single way, go put your games on a firecuda 530 and tell me you don't notice the difference when you're reading 6.5-7+ Gbps or writing 6gb while downloading, sata maxs out at 600mb my Internet is actually faster than that. That whole unnoticeable thing is losing its meaning more and more once the pcie 5 ssds are out sata ssd will seem primitive like HDD does now. They are just not worth the money over 2.5 if you don't have £150+ to throw at a 1tb stick. Nvme is only going to get faster and faster non volatile is the future and will be a fixture and a must have in gaming soon, its pretty much there now and within 5-10 years games will be relying on it.
fleet canopy
I'm sure a sata SSD is fine
Unless you mean an HDD
For games, SATA and NVME ssds offer really not much of a difference
dry hollow
I've rarely seen game load times differ much from sata vs nvme. load times aren't just dictated by what drive they are using but also their internet connection or if they have a pegged cpu. in an identical system you won't notice a difference between sata and nvme. Linus Tech Tips did a blind test and came to the conclusion you cannot tell the difference in game load times unless its timed. The only outlires I can possibly think of would be gtav or rust.
vast harness
I mean, load times are virtually not a concern
and modern games are shit anyways, even if they advertise to use direct storage and shit
bad optimization is bad optimization
dry hollow
I've also seen my load times on siege differ wildly on the same drive just due to an unstable overclock on the gpu. my point is load times aren't just dictated by what drive you're using

with this I mean stuff like Level of detail

minimal
we can see detail pop, there is minimal render culling
there is quite a bit of unbaked lighting because of gameplay reasons
and enemies are still rendered behind doors and walls
so, there's quite a bit of nonsense
@hazy pumice
and we're roughly limited to about 30 enemies
and the game starts to roughly break down around 50-70 enemies.
each sleeper generally has its own independent pathing
to call the game unoptimized in general, would be an accurate statement.
ideally not a bad thing, just dont host missions on a steamdeck or anything like that.

For nvidia control panel
On your desktop, right-click and select NVIDIA Control Panel from the menu that pops up. When the NVIDIA Control Panel opens, click on Adjust desktop size and position underneath the display tab on the left-hand menu
For AMD, idk, look for it
If you could turn on the monitor maybe

Hm.
I think that's probably a close enough price
Average price of that GPU, assuming it's an asus strix white 3080, which is 1800-2000$ from what I checked

So it's actually fairly priced following the usual market prices

When I manually overclock the boost settings of it to 2.25k mhz and max the power limit etc, when I boot up any game and a few seconds into loading all my screens freeze for a minute and cant do anything, then the soft ware says there was an error and puts settings back to default.

Another person of culture
Undervolt is the way
Especially when I'm running small form factor and everything is mega tight tolerances 
I'm managing to squeeze a small stable overclock out of my GPU while having it undervolted by a decent amount
Example of the limited space I'm working with here: "https://imgur.com/a/dogNrJb"
vast harness
undervolting my gpu helps me reduce temps by like 10c when playing gtfo
lilac obsidian
I straight up would hit thermal limit without the undervolt at my current stable clock speed
Undervolt dropped me by 15c
These were the biggest pain to install though 
Also the GPU wouldn't fit in the case. Had to dismantle the front portion of the case to slide the GPU in & then rebuild the frame
vast harness
I would try a higher than -120 gpu undervolt, but that's the limit of the average min stock clocks
testing stability sucks ngl
but the pain is worth it
lilac obsidian
I'm down to .806v stable from it being at 1.0 - 1.1 unlimited
Slight gain in performance verified by benchmark cause of the now stable clock speed
celest frigate
But the speed
Will it run faster because its cooler or run slower because of the power limit
vast harness
At worst it will be the same as stock
undervolt doesn't intend to limit power, but reduce the utilized for clocks in the stock curve
and as an unintended upside it can reduce the amount of heat throttle/power throttle which can help maintain a stable clock
still, not intended for maximizing performance
just optimizing it in some sense
lilac obsidian
Will it run faster because its cooler or run slower because of the power limit
Slightly faster. Cooler temps help maintain a stable higher clock speed
lilac obsidian
Different for everyone. Follow the process for overclocking with increased voltage, but in reverse
Or look up a guide
I'd start by setting a max clock speed that you achieve once your clock speed evens out (if it does)
Then dial back the voltage at that speed
Try starting at -0.1
Also monitor the core voltage to make sure your changes are actually applying. They sometimes don't like respecting voltage limits being set

What was it? I think I remember seeing that but forgot
Also any important notes for fans or is it just basic placing it down?
fleet canopy
I guess the h2o is out of the question because it doesn't seem available
Right I can't seem to make sense of their fan specifications lmao
Though from image it seems I don't have to really worry, you pretty much just left in their fans
bright shard
honestly, i dont like the airflow pattern of that image at all, if the cpu cooler is working as an intake.
i'd rather have the top fans be intake, and have the cpu cooler directly vent out the back.
if i had the top fans as exhaust, i'd probably want the front fans also as exhaust, but that wouldnt work very well because negative sp.
the gpu in that picture unfort does not even have a clear exhaust path in most configurations i can think of.
bright shard
oh. thats very not poggers
fleet canopy
Only access is top, back, bottom, and behind motherboard, assuming that is for whether a motherboard has m.2
Cause idk what else that'd have to be lmao
But it looks like it's not so bad
bright shard
i'd probably stick an intake fan under the gpu in that case, so the airflow path includes the GPU
fleet canopy
I doubt for mine, it'd work
bright shard
can just buy slimmer fans
fleet canopy
I'm sticking a 313mm card in that case if that'll happen, and case supports 330mm
I kinda wanna stick with the stock AMD cooler but eh
bright shard
gross
bright shard
fwiw, on salvage builds, i've even had fans on the OUTSIDE of the case.
fleet canopy
Yeah that way isn't bad
Though it's just more convenient to just have a CPU cooler that could work as an intake
Outside fans for an sff would be eh

it definitely looked like an absolute mad science project.

honestly, most of the time the RGB is implemented like shit, and the LEDs are absolute scorchers when you need to be next to it all day.

I just got a PC past post today since it's my first build any of y'all know any programs imma need? Got Nvidia GeForce experience steam and a program for my gigabyte Mobo so far? Anything to check my ssds or CPU?
vast harness
to check your drives you can use crystaldiskinfo
for everything else hwinfo is a pretty solid choice
I personally never install nvidia stuff like it comes out of the box
I always use nvcleanstall to customize the driver and only install the minimum stuff (a.k.a. not installing geforce experience)
My personal essentials that are specifically gaming related are:
- RTSS
- CapFrameX
- ThrottleStop (for intel CPU only)
- Afterburner
- OBS
- BCUninstaller (as an uninstaller...duh!)
bright shard
I just got a PC past post today since it's my first build any of y'all know any ...

OBS has the replay buffer which is basically shadowplay

Don't get geforce experience
You'll experience pain in every part of your body when it keeps fucking with your videogame settings every time you launch up geforce experience
merry bay
only good part about geforce experience is easy to set up game recordings for people that deem OBS too complicated
besides that part I'd call it bloat
vast harness
even with that it is bloat
fleet canopy
It also gives pretty quick gpu driver updates but not really worth with them changing game settings every time
vast harness
imo just use nvcleanstall
there are many scripts to fetch driver updates in any case
tacit laurel
Don't get geforce experience
What about the drivers though
Haven't had any issues with game settings changing so long as I don't ask it to set them to recommended

With the amount of money Facebook is pouring into all in one entry level VR headsets I’m not sure they want to fight on that front
Valve's core base is people with VR ready, or at least quest level spec PCs. Unless they think they can pull more margin on allowing people to go untethered, most will probably prefer the better framerate and visual fidelity
They've always peddled the premium side of the market so that might be where they intend to rest
