Good news, I found a solution! :) Thank you so much for your help and replies btw! FXSound is an EQ software that allows me to apply my EQ settings to all 5 speakers: front L&R, rear L&R, and center, without disabling DTS functionality from Windows/Realtek audio manager! Now, my center speaker...

Thanks for explaining! I think you are correct about my sound card reporting that I have a stereo configuration, even though I am able to use DTS and have true 5.1 audio, since I am using an unofficial patch to enable DTS. And great question! I actually recently bought three 3.5mm cables...

Thanks for your reply! I definitely agree that buying a soundcard will provide better audio and more features, such as multichannel EQ, and perhaps that will solve my issue. But before that, I want to see if I can figure it out with software first and if all else fails I may need to go that...

Hi everyone! The last time I was active in these forums was around 6 years ago, so I am glad to see the community is still so active :) My Specs/Setup: Logitech Z906 5.1 Speakers Connected using TOSLINK S/PDIF Optical Cable Motherboard: ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING/AURA Audio Chipset/Codec: Realtek...

I have an EVGA 1080 FTW (first edition) graphics card with the bios update and pads already installed (checked serial number on EVGA website). When playing games, my card ALWAYS reaches 83C and stays there. In Precision XOC, by default, the temeprature target is 83C and it says once the card...

Hi everyone, my motherboard is the ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING/AURA RGB motherboard and I noticed that as the computer turns on from power off, it turns on 4 different color LEDs from bottom to top one by one until they are all off and Windows boots. These LEDs are positioned at the top right, right...

Hi everyone! It's time I move on from my old gaming computer (FX 6300 & Sapphire 7870) and build one that will handle games for years to come! Please analyze every component and feel free to make any kind of suggestion, I want to hear your opinions on the entire system! :D Here's the link...

Have you tried increasing your voltage? I have an AMD FX 6300 too and I think I was unlucky with mine lol but my highest stable overclock is 4.4Ghz @ 1.452v (CPU-Z). I could go higher but I'd need much more than 1.55v which is something I'm not risking. The absolute max voltage you should reach...

Hi barranquilla, it really depends on what games you play and what your target refresh rate is at a certain resolution. Here are my recommendations: 1080p @ 120Hz/144Hz = 1070 (extra $200 for 1080 isn't worth it here as you won't see a huge difference in game) 1080p @ 60Hz = 1070 (a bit...

As I'm nearing the end of highschool I want to purchase a gaming laptop that will last me at least 4 years. I currently have a PC (7870 & fx6300) so I'm looking for similar performance in the laptop. I'm willing to spend under $2k CAD. Note: I was leaning towards to Asus rog g751jt BUT the...
