Possibly. I'm no aerodynamics guru or anything, but maybe the slower speed fan wasn't pulling the hot air out of the HSF fast enough and letting it linger?
Either a bad chip or the mount is still not right. I have a 212+ in P/P with the HSF fan pulling and an Antec Tricool at medium pushing. 45 minutes of P95 Max Heat running 4.7Ghz and the cores are sitting at 65/71/69/68. Last idle was 37/38/35/37.
Unrelated, but I think I got a gem of a 2500k...
It's not just the 555s. I have a pair of 518's and the cracks developed on both sides after not even 1 month. The 518s were bought to replace my 555's that completely cracked. Great headphones but abysmal structural design.
Yeah, I just picked up an STX to go with my Sennheiser 518s and all I can say is wow. Is this what I've been missing my whole life? I'm listening to MP3's that are medium quality and astounded at all the nuances and detail in the audio. I can't believe they're the same songs. Cannot recommend it...
By design, I meant the fact that they continually have the problem with cracking. They are extremely comfortable once the headband is broken in (minor "clamping" sensation when brand new), and the sound I feel is superb. The cracking is the only downfall of them.
Basically this:

I love my Sennheisers, but I hate that the design is horrible and they are doing nothing to fix it. Had a pair of 555s, now on a pair of 518s. Had the 555's for a little over a year, and I've had the 518's for less than 2 months, and there's already a crack developing where the drivers connect...
My biggest problem is the developers intentionally withholding content from the paid version of the game with in order to release it as paid DLC. DLC content within a week of the release date? Yeah, that's not shady at all.
