    [SOLVED] Recommended Headphone DAC/AMP?

    Hi all, I've just purchased a pair of DT 770s 250 ohm headphones. After some research I've noticed people mentioning a DAC/AMP is needed to power the 250 ohm model. I've no experience in the audio area and I'm sure a lot of people are scared off by it just like I am. I've had the same €50 pair...

    Question CPU Dropping to Exactly Half It's Frequency Randomly

    I have created a custom fan curve and overclocked the GPU, the first thing I did when I got the card. I have ordered a new CPU and extra RAM so that will probably fix the issue.

    [SOLVED] AMD Radeon Settings Driver Version Bug

    I can update and say that 19.2.2 no longer has the version bug. Although the Wattman crash error has happened 2 times in the past 3 hours. Is there any way of preventing the Wattman crash happening? I do not have any overclock applied, everything in Wattman is set to default.
