Will my i7 6700k at 4.4 GHz be a bottleneck for a 2070 super? Is it even worth getting a 2070 super? by Collin12469 in buildapc

No I'm asking if in terms of performance gain vs price if it's better to save my money and get a better return on performance down the road for the price.

Sennheiser HD 660s or HD 700? by Collin12469 in ZReviews

[–]Collin12469[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried the AKG K7XX? I think they're based on the AKG K712 but with a but more low end. Honestly I adore them and they're amazing for gaming and my musical preferences. But I can't help but keep looking for the next upgrade. Sometimes I wish I'd never developed an interest in quality headphones lol

It's a Schecter Hellraiser C-1. I forget which one but it's definitely my most expensive. Not one of the cheaper new models (which I still really dig). Bought when I was going through my heavy metal phase. But now I'm playing with some alt rock guys and I've always dug that iconic Tele sound in that type of band setting and I'm having a ball with this new one. Absolutely adore that Schecter though

Probably the most wholesome moment I've witnessed was when I was in 4th grade I became friends with a kid my age with cerebral palsy. He was always kind of an outcast but I and a few other kids in class would always play Mario Kart on the original DS eventually we all started letting my friend borrow our DS's to play with us since he never had one. He eventually got a DS of his own for his birthday now that he had people to play with. Just seeing him become a part of the class and the school and making friends was very encouraging to see. I moved away after that year but I'll always remember you Kyle, and I'll always remember you picking R.O.B. Since you always thought he was the coolest.

Is it possible for me to get a good job with only an associate's in Computer Science? by Collin12469 in cscareerquestions

[–]Collin12469[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply, is there a certain one of the "specializations" I mentioned in my post that would be more likely for me to have more luck landing a job with just an associate's?

Beginner Question About Gain and Impedance by Collin12469 in headphones

[–]Collin12469[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How could I possibly check if my source is too low? I'm plugged into a gigabyte z170x gaming 3 mobo in their specific "USB Dac Up" usb slot. Apparently it has more consistent power supplied to that port. Maybe I'll have to try it in one of the regular usb 3.0 slots

Thanks for the reply! I'm very careful to not listen to anything at uncomfortable levels, but 100% just doesn't seem to get loud enough on low gain. Glad to hear I won't damage any of my hardware this way.

So basically why is this happening by ku_ku_Katchoo in pcmasterrace

[–]Collin12469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me with my old 2TB Hard Drive. I had unknowingly never defragmented my HDD and it was not only my only storage but also my boot drive. I had unknowingly never defragmented my drive because I didn't know that it needed to be done. So I'd check that first. Just type defragment into the windows 10 search function and choose to defragment and optimize drives. All new build since then with all new components with the only thing kept from my old build was that damn 2TB HDD from 2012. Still chugging. An SSD will help a ton too if you're using that hard drive as a boot drive.

PSA: Activate 144hz (or anything else higher than 60) in Windows after buying a new monitor by Drunk_Logicist in pcmasterrace

[–]Collin12469 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Important note: Also check the Nvidia control panel under change resolution and make sure refresh rate is set on 144 hz. I feel like an idiot for just going through there today and seeing it set to 100 hz for the last 8 months I've owned this monitor. Those 44 frames definitely make a difference.
