For the last 10 years I've been using Sennheiser wired headphones and a Creative PCIe sound card and it was ok. Last year I've build a new PC without a sound card, and audio on my MSI B650 TOMAHAWK is just awful. I use the same old headphones and I can't stand the sound: it's too quiet, sounds in games are flat and miserable, and listening to music is an utter nightmare. With Airpods Pro it's almost the same but a little bit better. I've spent more than $2300 on my new PC and the sound is just unbearable.

In short: my 10 years old sound card was a way better than a modern motherboard. I'd like to switch to wireless headphones since I'm tired of running over the wire with my chair wheels, but then I realized I won't be able to use a sound card.

Is there a way to enhance the sound using wireless headphones? Or am I bound to wires forever? Do modern wireless headphones have a better built-in sound amplifier than an old internal sound card? Am I weird to be annoyed by poor sound since most people are okay with shitty motherboard audio? Or is MSI B650 especially bad in terms of sound among other things?

Right now I have a prebuilt pc but want to eventually upgrade and use my prebuilt as a game server or something similar. https://newegg.io/1640fe7

Basically the title. It randomly turned off along with the charging indicator led. It wont turn on or charge anymore. It was plugged while this happened so it should have close to full battery.

Specs: i7 14700HX, RTX 4060, 16GB DDR5 I was playing a graphically intensive game (RDR2) when this happened and i remember a few stats at the time. 20% cpu usage, 95% gpu usage and 85°C

Its pretty new (just 4 months old) so its not been cleaned from inside since i got it. But i doubt it has something to do with this since its never in a dusty environment or near pets.

Doesn't seem like overheating either because its been a few hours and nothing's changed.

I haven't touched any bios settings in it but other than that all drivers should be latest

Hi guys. I have the following components:

Mainboard: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Plus

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 8x 3.40GHz So.AM4

GPU: 16GB XFX Radeon RX 6800XT Speedster MERC319 GAMING DDR6

RAM: 16GB 2x8 Crucial Ballistix BL2K8G32C16U4B

M2: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB

Is the Seasonic Focus PX Modular 80+ Platinum with 550W as PSU enough or do you think it would be better to upgrade?

I'm using two AOC screens and have some devices connected via USB (I don't know if that is important to know)

THanks in Advance!

P.S. I used some PSU calculators but every calculator gives me another recommendation. Most of them say at least 650W tho.
