New build, new board/cpu/GPU. Got it al squared away and nothing... Put old EVGA PSU in system (also 850) and it worked. I know the RM850 fan does not kick on automatically like most PSU's when turned on, so paperclip test seems kind of pointless IMO. Esp since it wouldnt power anything on my new board. After searching online, it seems alot of ppl have had this very issues with this power supply. I am almost considering not replacing once I get refunded and going with a different brand. Reaching out here as a last hope to see if I missed anything. PC Specs Mobo; N7 Z590 CPU: i9 10850K RAM: Corsair Dom Plat 32GB GPU: EVGA RTX 3080 (Current PSU EVGA 850) Side Note: before swapping back to a known good, I literally rebuilt the maching twice with corsair PSU and nothing.... when i popped the corsair PSU out all I literally did was pop the EVGA psu in, plugged into board and SATA connections and everything worked fine. With corsair PSU, zero activity was happening with the MOBO. Really starting to lose faith in the brand I had come to love over the years. Esp after seeing the many threads on other forums about the DOA PSU's, or PSU's that appear to pass the test but yet fail to work in a system.

I have a 680x and ordered a EVGA 3080 XC Ultra.. Wondering if a 360 rad will allow the card to fit with rad and fans in the front. TIA

Well, i guess we just have to deal with it as there seems to not be much support on this issue. ICUE is by far the worst software created. It seems to conflict with almost everything... Point of getting this mouse was wireless use, now it stays plugged in all the time. Like I said it feels like the mouse is lifted off the pad and stops tracking....

So I have noticed this stutter or lag where the mouse kind of doesnt register as if its been lifted off the mat, only happens when I play R6 Siege. It does it whether ICUE is running or not. I dont recall this happeneing when i first got the mouse. Now I run the mouse in wired mode and no issues, kind of defeats the purpose tho... any thoughts?

I have Atmos, I didnt when i first got the phones and tried the trial, still have astro software on the computer, but when I used the phones on my kids PC who has no third party software, same thing, cheap, tinny, double footstep, double everything sound...

Okay, replaced headphones today at Best Buy, got home, put them on, and same thing. I launch rainbow six siege, and no matter what settings, whether 7.1, stereo, atmos, EQ presests other users have used, doesnt matter, same cheap, tinny sound. I hear double footsteps, double sound of everything. Throw the astros on, boom, flawless sounds, crisp sound in the same game. I even tried my sons 60 dollar usb headset, it doent sound tinny, our double footsteps, it lacks the bass my astros have (60 dollar phones im speaking of) but they def sound better than the almost 200 dollar virtuoso. I'm out of options, I dont know what else to do. This cant be how they sound, I dont see how anyone plays FPS games that require you to rely on auditory scenarios with these phones. I plugged them in my daughters PC, she had GTA V, fired it up, same thing, when the character runs, sounds like 2 sets of footsteps. I made virtuoso default device, I mean I give up. Does everyone elses sound like this? I know you mentioned they should not sound tinny, but this is the second set, hard to believe 2 in a row are bad. If i can find a way to record the difference between both, I will but that'll be hard for someone to listen to if they are using a better headset. Are there any sneaky settings I dont know about here? I mean, I have my astros sounding pretty top notch. Also, another thing that boggles me, is when to virtuoso is being used, when I hit hot keys for discord, there is a delay in the tone or sound in which it makes, also people sound tinny and double as well, even with the correct audio device selected.

Albert, thanks for the help... I got it from bestbuy the other day, so ill likely take it back for a replacement there. Seems like that would be quicker. But to be clear, these things should not sound tinny in any way correct?

Okay, so i tried on my kids computer... discord does the same thing mentioned above. Fired up GTA V, still that same, tinny, cheap sound. i dont know what else to do. Plugged my kids 60 dollar headset in and audio was much more crisp, etc. any ideas as to how/why thats possible? Thanks in advance.

I have a stand alone mic, i never even plugged the 3.5 in. I will try on my kids computer, I ended up giving it to her. I'll give that a shot and then report back. Any ideas why there is a delay in the discord audible tones? i.e. when i mute and it makes the mute sound a second later than normal, as well as when ppl enter and leave there is a delay with that audible tone? I was sure to change the auido device in discord. Also, no matter what when i listen to a video on YT, it sounds crisp and clear while discord sounds tinny and double voiced, same in games, real tinny. I'll let you know the results, thaks for reaching out.

Well, any thoughts?

Hey, sorry to see you are having issues. It's like pulling teeth to get someone to respond to my post... I do have a question for you, since this headset exceeds your expectations. Does it sound like pure tinny, double sound no matter what? I've got to know, and i dont know anyone who owns this headset personally to ask. Man, i wanted to like this headset, bbut this cant be what almost 200 dollars sound like... I think im just spoiled from using a mixamp with my astro a50s. But serious, no matter what I do, which there are limited options, discord sounds like complete crap, there also a delay in discord when i toggle mute, or the sound it makes when someone joins or leaves. Games are atrocious sounding. Used all recommended settings from the manual, even deleted all software from astro off my pc, and the virtuoso still sucks for me. Maybe a faulty pair, who knows, or maybe this is what other head sets sound like??? cant be....

Yea... i give up, theres gotta be something better out there... Why in the word does this headset sound so tinny? And there isnt really anything on the web to assist. have just been spoiled from the Astros? Is this what all other headsets w/out a mixamp sound like?

Yea, no matter what games still sound like two sets of footsteps, discord, sounds like ***, everything is just tinny sounding. No matter what EQ settings I apply. Any other ideas?

thanks for the reply. It was happening both wired and wireless. Whatever fqcy the manual said is what i set it too. Ill tinker with it some more in a bit.

I really wanted to like these headphones, as they go with my setup which is almost all corsair. I just cant get past the double, tinny sound quality no matter which settings I used. I want to give them a shot, they are in the box, so if anyone has any suggestions, Im up for them. I have used other eq profiles from other ppl, and for music they sound great. Discord, sounds like 2 ppl talking, also, there is a delay in discord when i connect, or toggle mute hot key, a 2 second delay or so for the audio cue of muting or connecting to discord. I fired up rainbow six siege, and still there is a tinny, double sound. This has to be a setting issue. I know Im used to my Astros, and a new headset would be noticably different, but this cant be how other ppl hear the games when they use this headset.
