Just trying to figure out if a XP-120 CPU cooler will for on a Conroe on a Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 motherboard. Let me know - thanks!

I have a Therlmalright XP-120 CPU cooler that I would like to use with a GA-965P-DQ6 MB. Will it fit? Thanks in advance!

Creative did, to keep the technology off the market. AFAIK, they have no intention of using any of Aureal's technology.

Its the same chip on both, but the Montego is having an implementation issue whereby the sound lags. Turtle Beach is working on this issue. The X-Mystique doesnt have this problem.

Bump

That chip is used as the core for this sound card http://www.bluegears.com/soundcard_xmystique.html Why cant a motherboard manufacturer incorporate it for onboard sound, and have a solution similar to the very cool Soundstorm solution?

Unfortunately, Creative doesnt do Dolby Digital Live, so you wont get 5.1 channels for games. The CMI8768+ sound chip lets you play games in 5.1 channels, similar to Soundstorm.

How difficult is it for motherboard manufacturer to use a better sound chip like the CMI8768+ to provide for Dolby Digital Live, instead of their current sound chips, which arent very good? Are any upcoming motherboards using this sound chip? And too bad Soundstorm died.

There is a wealth of information on this at www.avsforum.com Just go to the HTPC forum there.

There wont be - it will fit.

A better place to post this question is www.avsforum.com Go to the HTPC forum section - its a bonanza of good info.

Too bad Asus did not use the C-Media CMI8768+ sound chip. That would give the board Dolby Digital Live - and be comparable to Intel's HD sound found on their newer chipsets.

Will Monarch carry this board?

Will an XP-120 fit on this board?
