      Phil Matic rgb might not sacrifice function, but putting pigments in your coolant, that will clog up whatever they come in contact with, definitely sacrifices pretty everything, except (maybe) optics.
      My EK stuff came with rgb, and I use the one on the reservoir to show water temp. and the mono block shows cpu temp. But I dialed the brightness down as much as I could.

      @sunlg Před 4 lety

      ​@@phil_matic I think it was Gamers Nexus that looked into that at some point. At least RGB ram sacrifices function if you're overclocking it. As the power draw from the RGB would hog up some of the power you throw at the RAM sticks. Which leads to lower max stable clocks at a given voltage.

    I also had a similar experience with the Corsair HS70. Sounds fair, headest is comfortable enough, mic is terrible.
    It has me curious if the wireless modmic is any good for audio quality, since it can dedicate all of its bandwidth to the mic, rather than having to split between headphones and mic

    Thank you for an informative video. I had the same problem when i gave up finding a good enough wireless headset back in the days. I gave up and ended up flogging my wallet into submission and bought a Beyer Dynamics MMX 300 wired headset. What i did not account for was the power need they had. My integrated sound card could not drive those. :( So there was not enough sound from them. I had however earlier bought on a whim a Sound Blaster ZxR... Yeah.. on a whim.. But had not installed it yet since the setup i had kibda worked and i did not want to corrupt up my setup at the time" (I used the integrated sound card on my ROG Rampage III extreme motherboard, with a Koss portapro with a mic on it. Worked quite good for me at the time, but those portapro's got wore out after a while and koss had discontinued the portapro with a mic. Anyway. Long story short. After i activated the SB ZxR with my now new headsett BD MMX 300 I've been presented for a totally new world. It's no 7 channel "surround" in those" but MAN! With the ZxR activated those are for me pure heaven. I don't have good hearing, but i love my "new* 4-5 years old " setup. I am however still locking for a wireless headset with good mic.

    Jay, I have a recommendation for a headset. Now I do not have the wireless version, but I am currently using the Corsair Void Pro Gaming usb headset. I have done several recordings with them and the mic sounds better then most other headsets I have used in the $50-$100 range. Some logitec and a few sony brands I have owned in the past. My last headset before these were the Turtle Beach P22. I have not really experienced any "high-end" microphones in the past, but for cost these seem to be better then the ones I have used. The wireless version of the Corsair Void Pro Gaming uses the same tech but wireless. So I cant say that the bandwidth wont be an issue, but the mic is normally good if not hindered by bandwidth. In the advanced properties I am using 2 channel, 16 bit, at 48,000Hz. if that helps with you decision. When paired with iCue software from Corsair the customization is pretty good for fine tuning the lights and the sound from the audio drivers.
