I think this is awesome, don’t change your verbiage, it was just interesting. Thank you for sharing! I got some cultural experience today.

I don’t know that accumulators have to be rechargeable, just an object that collects (even if only at its initial charge) and stores energy.
It’s just not a term I hear often, and I thought it was interesting. I like also hearing about how other countries use the term, it’s enlightening. I didn’t realize that it is the primary term to refer to a battery in several countries.
I know it’s proper usage of the word accumulators, but I’ve basically never heard anyone refer to them that way.
Are you a part of the Borg by any chance, OP? 🙂
Haha like this?
So you’re hearing your mic play back through your speakers?
I’ve actually done this before and if this is the same scenario as I understand your explanation, I know how to possibly fix it.
What I believe is going on here is that deep within your audio settings in a galaxy far far away from where most people understand audio settings are, there’s a feature that plays back a device on another device. I believe your microphone has a setting enabled to loop itself back through your speakers.
Here’s how to check on whether this is your issue -
These directions are for Windows 10, I don’t know if this exists on Win 11 but assuming it does.
in your system tray by the clock, find the speaker icon, right click on it, and choose “Sounds”
you should see a “Sound” window open with four tabs - Playback, Recording, Sounds, and Communications. Click on the Recording tab
find your headset microphone, and notice that it likely has a green circle with a white checkmark inside it indicating that it’s the default recording device. Right click on it and choose “Properties” at the bottom
a new window should open titled “Microphone Properties” and it should have four tabs - General, Listen, Levels, and Advanced. Click the “Listen” tab.
Ensure that the checkbox that says “Listen to this device” is NOT checked. Hit apply, and hopefully your issue is resolved!
As a side note, the levels tab in step four is also where you can adjust your microphone volume, I usually try to set this around 90-95 percent, and for some reason from time to time it can be set back to default 50 percent, so you might check that too. As always, try to adjust to your own setup as everyone’s audio devices and software configuration can differ.
Hope this is it!
If you’re still hearing your mic through your IEMs, you might check the other present recording devices present to ensure this setting I noted in step 5 is not checked there either.
I don’t have a monitor recommendation, but I have a Fractal Torrent case for my 7900xtx, and it’s absolutely amazing with airflow, one of the best you can buy.
I am really happy with it and would buy another one if I had to build it again. I really like how the PSU is in the top, the I side of the case looks really cool as a result.
You can buy no RGB edition, and there are a TON of ways you can configure the fans or radiators. Check the user manual for options to see if it works for your use case.
You don’t have to have anti lag enabled, right? I’m assuming I’ll be able to play on these without it, I’ve been having a lot of crashes in cs2 on older drivers, and those crashes are addressed in 23.10.1
Surprised that no one has mentioned the Fresh Tomato project
There’s a ton of functionality built into it, and it is regularly updated.
For not much more, you can purchase a portable battery jumper. I’ve saved so many people without having to touch my car. I can move it between our cars, put it in my motorcycle saddlebags, use it as a PowerBank, so incredibly versatile. I’ll never not have one moving forward.
My 7900xtx is also working flawlessly.
I’ve not had an Nvidia card since the 8800gts and have never really ever had issues with my AMD cards. Their drivers are generally very stable and the cards always seem to have more longevity.
I also never had the high wattage issue you experienced.
Works great for VR too.
