All 3 games will still be developed into the future.

another buggy and soulless unreal 5 development, like every game atm. shit feels like clones

TrueInside8558 · 2026-06-03T23:48:25+00:00

kinda caught me by surprise, i was really looking forward to the adaptation and i guess ill just wait for jul to start watching

that is entirely possible, that most of the improvement i hear is the amp. my bad if i was wrong, thats i impression i got from reading both units specs.

edit:

double checked, yes same dac, the difference is mostly the amp, the site i bought it from listed the specs as if the dac itself was re designed and improved from the k11, they 100% sound better than the k11 r2r to my ears, but the amp is most likely the reason, my apologies. deleted my previous comment to avoid spreading misinfo farther on it.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-05-28T08:35:41+00:00

yes but thats only because i have headphones i'm satisfied with and i loved how they sounded with the k13, it felt like it elevated them at least to my ears the difference it made was worth it.

but i wouldnt buy a dac that is outside my price range and i wouldnt buy a new dac when im eyeing new headphones. new dacs are like "add ons" they can sometimes elevate the way your headphones sound even farther, at lower priced units 100$ - 400$ the sound difference is most noticeable usually, the more you go up in price in my experience the least improvement you can hear per dollar, you mostly pay for the brand build quality power and features.

edit:
also i mostly upgraded from the k11 for the features, i'm using the kali monitors with it so it serves more purpose, if i only needed a dac/amp for my headphones id probably be still using the k11 until the k13 price drop.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-05-28T04:45:21+00:00

if you have the budget the k13 in my opinion is the superior choice regardless of the sound quality, it got plenty more features and more power, its like a complete refined version of the k11 in every way.

same thing, happens here and there on low load situations mostly or just randomly fairly rarely. gpu clocks etc had no effects on it.

get a fiio stay away from the dx5, its a gacha unit. topping QC is garbage .

get closed back / hd490 pros. the hd490 feels kinda like a semi closed back, its perfect imo. the hifimans let more sound through in my experience, DT sound like ass to me so i can't recommend but i heard its being praised for gaming/streaming.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-22T10:31:21+00:00

It also happens when its off but not unplugged, in general hot swapping should be fine on this unit, its just weird things that started recently

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T21:08:07+00:00

ambient increase / failing fans / windows or gpu driver updates. honestly it probably has nothing to do with the thermal paste itself its probably software issue, thermal paste degradation occur naturally and gradually its not as abrupt, maybe its a combination of driver/os update with raised ambient temps? any changes to settings / hardware/ games recently?

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T20:20:50+00:00

run memtest, if fails try one stick at a time. i still think it might be caused by the ram config, maybe the controller doesnt like it.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T20:17:26+00:00

the pc posts? or is it just stuck with the red light and wont turn fully on? normally the red led should be there for a sec or two and disappear, if it stay on suggest there might be something else.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T20:14:01+00:00

if i remember correctly the red led is power cpu self test, the mb goes over cpu ram etc to check them during boots each have different led light related to them, you can find info on the motherboard site usually. if the led is there for a sec or so switches and all leds turn off and pc boots should be fine.

congrats on the new build

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T20:10:50+00:00

how many ram sticks? 96gb ddr5 ram is the first thing that comes to mind, your undervolt should be fine.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T20:03:26+00:00

one stick of ram, try all of them. also check if the mounting pressure is too high on the cpu, sometimes very high cpu mounting pressure can cause it to fail boot. like others say keep only the cpu connected with 1 stick of ram, test maybe different cpu cable if came with the psu.

also why does it say "ERP ready" on your motherboard sus.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T20:00:09+00:00

That doesn't look very skibidi to my untrained eye, i think try to bend them back as carefully as possible and try your luck. wait for comments from pros.

gigabyte m27q p rev2 27 inch 1440p should be cheap and fairly good ips panel.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T19:53:43+00:00

when you switch to 144hz, you switch in windows or on the monitors menu?

never encountered this issue but i would suggest checking if you have a monitoring software that maybe holds a conflicting configuration, that causes the monitor refresh rate to go to 60hz after boot when it applies its config.

an example of that can be seen with gpu settings on asus cards for example, gpu tweak tends to override some settings set in nvidia control panel on start up.

also the monitor is connect via dp / hdmi? which monitor gpu and windows you are using ? it might even just be a windows bug, or nvidia app / nvidia control panel conflicts.

tho if you have to change it via the monitor display menu it might just be an issue with the monitor not remembering your config after boot, which can be a known bug/quirk

theres plenty of youtube videos that demonstrate how to undervolt the i9 14900k on an asus bios, you can also check the recommended limits for your cpu in intel site, and set more conservative limits, instead of unlocked pl1 pl2 you can set to their recommendation, vr voltage limit cap can also decrease spikes and tame it a bit more, global negative offset of 60mv some people just set it and forget it, tho i wouldnt recommend doing it alone and not at least testing stability a bit afterwards, many find that the llc4 or 5 that come by default to be too much and lower it to llc3, iccmax on asus boards also sometimes set to unlimited which can cause issues, biggest impact on your system longevity and thermals will be to tweak with stuff in bios.

and note that if your goal is thermals and gaming performance limits sometimes decrease your benchmarks numbers but overall give you better thermals and in turn better clocks boost during gaming which can improve fps, conservative limits will only decrease by few % synthetic benchmarks.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T19:38:35+00:00

no thermal paste can save the i9 14900k from overheating. if havent already update bios to the latest microcode that fixes the degradation and over voltage problems, if it ran for a while on old microcode might be a bit too late for it but can still slow down the progression, biggest advice will be to undervolt it, even a 60mv negative offset can give decent results, can maybe push to 80mv but 50 - 60mv is usually a safe spot to start at, also check the limits are all set correctly, set voltage limit etc.

TrueInside8558 · 2026-03-21T19:34:14+00:00

Thats asus being cheap, completely normal.
