Probably no. It won't be able to drive the headphone to its full possible volume. But the max volume the motherboard can provide won't harm the motherboard. Say max possible volume for your headphones is 100db(just saying), your motherboard might be able to achieve say 50db at max. That 50db is full volume for your motherboard, and that won't harm the motherboard cauz it's not going overboard while doing it.

If i were to turn it up all the way would it just cap at a certain db?

There is no real full volume as it is a passive device. At certain levels (and also frequencies) the headphone starts distorting more and more, and you can say this is where the volume ends. You can safely plug it into your motherboard and decide if it’s loud enough and if you want to purchase a separate amp later.

rule 2 has all the great answers

Exactly.

jeez, this sub showing its' tru colours, downvoting this

Well, I might have been wrong. Please explain it in a better and more correct manner. No really, not being sarcastic or any of that crap. 😅

No, I think you explained it reasonably well. I was just annoyed at the people downvoting you for that.

Those headphones are not that hard to drive. You should get very listenable volume from your pc's headphone jack (these days), probably higher volume than you'd ever be comfortable listening to them. Audio quality might not be the best of the best, but if you're not in the market for an external dac/amp, you should be fine with mobo.

• Do you need an external DAC?

• How much power do my headphones require?
