Hi, I just installed an Asus Xonar STX and now I am noticing that there are instances that audio slows down or cracks when doing activities like opening a new tab or window in a browser or in windows explorer. It happens quite often and is irritating. I mean CPU, RAM, GPU usage is down low and...

Thanks for the replies cin19. I did still need to tweak my mobo but no drivers were additionally needed. Speed is still stuck at the 3GBps mark due to the SATAII ports ill just wait and see once I decide to upgrade. (Maybe next year or so) Sorry about the noobish questions. I was actually...

So I dont have to install any driver or load drivers as of now for the SATA 6GBps ports on my motherboard to work at the "6GBps" speed?

Hi, I just got a Crucial M4 and will use it as a boot drive. So my question is with the Gigabyte X58A-UD7 rev 2 board, for the SATA 6GBps ports to work with the SSD do I have to change any BIOS settings like IDE to AHCI for the ports or are there any other drivers to be installed first? Also...

Nope no change in the fan speeds. Now I have reduced the speed. hahahaha. Anyway Im currently using adaptive vsync so there is no real need to monitor temps since they are always below 64C hahahaha. @bystander: We have very similar rigs hahahaha

I have to admit the 7970 really has quite a big OC headroom. I mean compared to the GTX 680 it really can catch up. hahahaha

I guess the crucial M4 will still be a good buy right now hahaha.

Yeah thats what I did with my GTX 560 Ti. But for now im getting 64-67C under extreme load (unigine, 3dmark11, furmark) and around 56-58C for gaming is quite satisfactory for me so no aftermarket coolers yet. Oh and this is with an ambient temp of 31-33C (yes its hot over here, this is just...

I read somewhere that though there may be a more powerful card than the GTX 680 but Nvidia is having a hard time producing the card at the ideal performance. Well Im not really sure of that but if stocks for the 680 dont improve I guess that what I read was right, else I just think they are...

Now this is interesting. So temps really dropped that much just because of the bracket and backplate? I modified my fan profile and temps dropped from 75 to 68C. Would the EVGA parts also work with other brand's (none EVGA) reference 680 though?

I always love seeing the System builder articles (even though I cant build one myself for now hahahaha). Great as always. It sad that the Nvidia GTX 680 has yet to be considered due to availability and pricing issues hehehehe.

Hi, Im no pro gamer but I do like to get immersed while I play and know where my opponents are coming from (FPS games mostly) so Im very much curious on how different it will the sound output will be when I will use a Steelseries Siberia USB Soundcard with my Siberia V2 (yes, my set did not...
