Sennheiser is known as one of the wired gaming headsets manufacturers. However, it’s for the first time that the company presents its fully wireless gaming model. Was this very first attempt a successful one? Let’s see!
From what we can see, the design is inherited from the GSP 600 model — with closed earcups and a wide frame.
For a while now, I have been thinking to
organize a dedicated place at home, where I could listen to music thoughtfully
though headphones, and spend a time with a good book, if the mood is right.
First, I checked, how the true audiophiles organize their place — all of
them would just have a table with piles of hardware and various devices stacekd.
Looks appalling and takes up a lot of space. As for me, I was looking for a
compact, neat and functional solution.
After giving it much thought, I came up with this:
It has been said repeatedly by intelligent men on the web, that liquid cooling systems make sense only if the following conditions apply:
In other words, this option is perfect for GPUs.
To decrease the GPU temperatures radically and — consequently — to get higher operating frequencies and less noisy set-up. Obviously, it makes sense to perform such procedures only if your GPU really heats a lot and costs higher than average, because a ready-to-use closed cooling system solution with an adapter plate (to be installed on the GPU) plus everything else (more about this coming later) will cost you around 250 USD. Therefore it makes sense to install such system only if you have something like 2080/2080ti.
You remove the standard cooling system from your GPU (additionally, in 90% of cases you also remove the back plate), you install the cold plate and the pump unit, then you install the GPU inside the case, and then you install the heat exchange unit together with the radiator fan inside the case as well.
Below is the description of how to install a liquid cooling system successfully (from the first try!) on your 2080 ti. In this example we will take the Kraken X42 + Kraken G12, because this set-up seems to be optimal for the cooling efficiency vs. noise factor.
