    Question Is it safe to unplug front panel audio and usb connectors from MB?

    One more thing I found was that when I plug some USB speakers using the USB connector , I get the noise, but if I use the same speakers plugged into a wall socket, there is no noise. ....and as mentioned, there is No noise when using headphones connected to rear jack.

    Question Is it safe to unplug front panel audio and usb connectors from MB?

    I forgot to mention, I'm using asio4all :( until I get my FW mixer hooked up, but I would still like to have the realtek player thing straigtened out. Also, I have never messed with bios before, but I'm sure I can learn, especially since the interfaces are more user-friendly nowadays.

    Hy Guys, I'm back! You know how you never have money at the right time? Well, I only have $500 right now and I decided to go ahead and try to get the processor, MB, and memory first. At the risk of taking awhile to get the rest later. If I don't spend the money now, other things will come up...

    Thanks for all of the info Justin. I'll have to think about it. In the meantime I will just mention that I was originally thinking about just the regular 4-core i.7.
