I ordered the HyperX Cloud Headset. It gets here the 10th however it requires 60 ohmz (or whatever the power unit is called). Does this motherboard have enough Ohmz?

Ohm is the electric impedance (similar to resistance, R in this case). The raw electric power is calculated as "P=(V^2)/R" (not exactly, but works for this subject). As you can see, to calculate the power you have square volts divided by Ohms, therefore, higher the ohms, lower the power you will get. This is fixed by increasing the voltage a bit. As you can see, as your headphnes have double the ohms, you would need about 1.42 times the voltage. The voltage is, basically, the volume you choose.
Therefore, your motherboard will handle it with no problem, as the highest volume will still be very high.
You will just need to increase the volume a bit more than other headphones.

No Ohm is the power it takes. I made this threadb ecause I was looknig at a youtube review on them and the youtuber claimed his volume was a little lower on this headset than every other he had tried by far. I looked at the comments and some guy responded to him this.

"The lower volume you're getting is likely because of the 60 ohm impedance, which is higher than the 16-32 ohm impedance you see on most headphones/earbuds suitable for mobile devices. The higher the impedance, the more power it takes to drive them, therefore some devices won't be able to reach higher volumes on these without amplification."
