    New build. Motherboard will not start properly unless 4+4 cpu power is unplugged. Other PSU works fine. Is my PSU faulty?

    Best PC headset for gaming?

    Hands down qpad QH-1337 headset, crystal clear audio and very nice clear positional sound on FPS. You do pay for it, they aren't cheap and also make sure your soundcard has a built in amplifier to make full use of these awesome headphones.
