I want to go from my on-board audio (Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7) to my nice bluetooth headphones. I have a wired pair of cans that sound great and can be adjusted using the creative software 760 depending on whether I am gaming or just enjoying some tunes. I found that just using a regular...

Well, it's hard to say. I mainly use it for gaming. But it is the current bottleneck for the main game I play (ESO) which has horrible CPU utilization (will only use one core). I definitely saw an increase in performance by overclocking the 4790k (>10 fps.) I haven't done any serious tests to...

Okay, I just upgraded MB and CPU to a i7-8700k from a i7-4790K. I can get a stable OC at 4.9GHz (didn't win the lottery) but I have to run a high voltage 1.4v and my temp can get pretty hot 85C. I used to OC my my 4790k to 5.2 Ghz and my temps never went over 75C on the Corsair h100i cooler...

I am going to be upgrading my motherboard and case in the near future and am looking for any recommendations. None of the cases I've looked at would fit my needs. I like the new Coffee Lake CPU and was thinking of going in that direction, I know that will mean a new motherboard. So for the...

I guess I am looking for any feedback on how I should handle my next upgrade. First Current system: Intel 4790k CPU - Hydro series H100 EVGA GTX 980 ti Hybrid (bought less than a year ago few months before 1000 series came out D'oh) MSI PC-Mate z87-41 Motherboard 4k Monitor at 60hz Antec 850...

Just to make doubly sure I understand, the audio stream in this situation is being generated by software of the game or player and transmitted through the GPU? Where's a sound card would add other effects or might deliver a cleaner signal for transmission? Please forgive me for being obtuse.

Okay bear with me, Right now I my setup is: From GTX 980ti GPU HDMI to my TV and from my TV through optical cable to my sound bar system. For when I want to really get into my music/games I use my sennheiser headphones plugged into the on-board (Motherboard) realtek line out. 1. Am I...

Sorry I didn't post this earlier. 1.-wich gpu do you have? EVGA GTX 980ti Hybrid 2.- 5% of oc is too low to notice a fps boost. Raised the core clock from 1140 to 1210 mhz (without boost) ~1450 boosted Rasied the mem 350 mhz to about 3850Mhz Didn't touch the voltage (scared) 3.- depends of...

Sorry in advance if this is a stupid question. After overclocking my GPU (slightly ~5% higher than base) I've noticed my GPU core usage percentage (and temps) has gone up significantly while in-game (from around 60% to 90%). The FPS is about the same and it has gotten rid of some stuttering or...
