The RS 175's have an optical in which is why I'd asked. Don't think it'll make a difference in my case. The only flaw I've found for my tastes so far with these headphones is they seem to have a very very sculpted sound, specifically an overload of bass and they're lacking mids to an extent.

Question for people who are smarter than I am: I have anASUS Maximus Hero VIII, and I'm reading that since I'm using the optical out from the motherboard's built in sound that switching to a dedicated sound card wouldn't make any difference in terms of sound quality... is that right or just...

Doubtful. I got the RS 175's. They are a vast improvement over what I had. Re: the antlion mic thing - yeah maybe. Heard some good and bad about it. Gonna do some research first.

There is less than 1 FPS (average) difference between DDR3-1600 @ CAS 9 vs. DDR3-2400 CAS 10.Your scenario for all intents and purposes is the same.

I ended up picking a pair ofSennheiser RS 175 Wireless Headphones. They sound lightyears better than the G930's I had (and better than the A50's). Now I just need to find a mic to hook up to it.

I have a G710+ that I got on megasale from BestBuy (thanks SlickDeals). I think it is a pretty good keyboard but Logitech's software... god is it bad. I don't even install it. It is one of the quieter mechanical keyboards though, so you'd have that going for you, which would be nice.

Ok so I tried posting this in the headphones thread, didn't get much of a response. I stepped on my Logitech G930's, and while they work perfectly fine, I was due for an upgrade anyways. I bought a pair of the Astro A50's to replace the 930's. I have this ridiculous buzzing noise coming from...

I lol'd hard. My wife always says she knows when I'm "typing angry".

AirDroid may be your best bet. It goes through the default messaging app. MightyText appears to do the same too but I can't look at that right now.

Ah my bad. I glanced over the limit like an idiot. I never use for more than maybe 10-15 texts a month so I guess I didn't notice. I just foundMightyTextand an alternative would be AirDroid (not as great for what you're asking for though).

Uh, you can still do that with PushBullet for free...? What makes you think you can't?

I used the Note 5 briefly (and the Note 4 for a long time). It has a fantastic screen, fantastic camera and good battery life. If I could use it on Project Fi, I'd probably be torn over whether to use the 6P or the Note 5.

Get a Logitech K400 and use that as your "remote". Just about the only Logitech product I'll ever recommend to anyone. They work very well for controlling HTPCs. If you're looking for HTPC software check out XBMC or just use Plex.

This seems to have done the trick, thanks again. Now to figure out if there is a software solution that'll do this automagically. Ain't no body got time fo dat!

Hmm... no. Good idea, I just quickly read a few things and it seems like that may work. I'll test that and update. Thanks man.

Looked at those. They seem nice but not wanted I wanted to do. Also the setup I have is overkill, for sure. No question about that. But I didn't want to run a NAS, and I wanted to get the two x 3TB and the 2TB drives off of my main computer because I already have enough (4 TB of blacks) storage...

Yes, for the 4k @ 60 Hz through HDMI 2.0. And it has a lower power draw than the 960. This card is the perfect choice for an HTPC, it fills that niche very well. Bonus: Microcenter accidentally gave me 6TB drives instead of 5TB drives but didn't charge me the difference. Schwing!

Building my HTPC/"Home Media/Network Server" today/tomorrow. Have everything but the case picked out: CPU:Intel i5-6500T (using a 6500 til the T's come out) Mobo:ASRock Z170 Exreme 6 Ram:Corsair Vengeance Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR4-2666 GPU:EVGA GTX 950 SSD:Samsung 850 EVO 250GB...

Weird about the fans in the Air 540 being squeaky. I've used that case two times and had no issues. I'll have to check out the Cougars on my next build. I've been too lazy and just picked up the AF120's from MicroCenter and they've worked fine for me.

^ I lol'd cause Aladain basically did what I did.

I need a pair of wireless noise cancelling heads phones + mic for my computer. Preferably over the ear design too. Also not the Logitech G930's. I currently have those and managed to accidentally step on them (my subconscious probably said fuck these things). Wireless is a must as I use it...

How does one get an invite to what.cd? I need to build my music collection and can seed the shit out of stuff now.

I've done with an HTC M8, Note 4, and my Nexus 6. The 6P was the only one that I ever was worried about bending. The other phones I could sit on in my truck (softer seats) and never blinked. And the funny thing with the 6P is I literally just bent down to tie my shoe, pulled the phone out, sat...

Welp. Just put a good bend in my 6P when I had it in my back pocket and leaned down to tie my shoes. My own dumb fault but damn... This phone really does bend easily. Fuck me.

Been doing this for years with InputDirector. Works fine with VPN. No registry tweaks required.

Yeah I'm aware of the 950 Pro's. But afaik only their 512 GB version hits 2500 MB/sec. Both of them are fantastic drives - if I could go back in time I'd probably have chosen the Samsung over the Intel. Oh well.

Intel 750?? 400gb or 1.2 TB?

I actually looked at that after you'd posted it and considered it. Looks like a nice enough case. But I think when I ordered the R5 (damn ADD when making decisions) I'd decided I wanted a quiet case. In any event, I ended up getting the case setup *almost* exactly how I wanted it. I haven't had...

Finished up my build last night, at least to start stress testing. Still have to redo the wires and stuff. The Fractal R5 is a nice case but I should have just gone with a Corsair 900D or something bigger/roomier than the R5 (probably should have just stuck to my Air 540). The R5 is not made...

Is that a Fractal R5? I decided to go with that on my new build too.

^ I'm in the same boat. Upgraded from 8.1 to 10 before my new build arrived just to screw around with it. When I tried to use it for the new build it told me to F-off so I'll just buy a new key and use the old one on the old build for work.

I believe this is the same chair I have. If it is, 9.5/10, would also recommend.

I love theSteel Series Sensei. A very simple but very great gaming mouse for avery reasonable price. Not for everyone though - I know a lot of people like having a gazillion buttons on their mouse and this one only has 8 (I think).

@kegkilla: I kinda want to punch you in the dick. There's not many companies I'd swear by when it comes to computer shit but Dell's monitors have my vote. I am 100% sold on them and would recommend them to anyone. Very true, but the site also has settings for the monitor itself, not the Windows...

I have a Dell IPS monitor and doubt I'll be replacing it any time soon (U2412M). Such a nice monitor. Mist if you haven't calibrated your monitor yet, this website is a really good place to start:ICC Profiles and Monitor Settings Database Edit: Never mind, I'm retarded. One of your links...

The key isn't registered to a specific HDD or SSD. When you go to install, and assuming you've back up your HDD, just format the HDD, format the SSD, and create a new partition for the HDD, create a new partition for the SSD, format the HDD and then select the SSD to install Windows on...

Uh... the 750 is an NVMe drive. They have different form-factors if that is what you're referring to?... Also the 840 Pro just on my current build, I didn't actually purchase it for the new build... The Mouse/Headphones/Monitors aren't new, probably should have clarified that. The Steel...

Might give that a whirl Mist, thanks. This is rough and dirty my new build: CPU:Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor CPU Cooler:NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard:Asus MAXIMUS VIII HERO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Memory:G.Skill TridentZ Series 32GB (2 x 16GB)...

Yup. I didn't say all the components were borked. But ruining the mobo/gpu is pretty easy if you unscrew the GPU prior to moving, yank on the power cords connected to it and break (loosely using that term) the PCI male end and tear (also using that loosely) the mobo slot at the same time. So...
