    Surround Sound Headphones...

    Hey, I've been thinking a while. I realize that playing the latest games with a $20 pair of sony street style head phones with an Audigy is not the best thing to be doing.

    Ahh...life time warranty..*poof*

    Well, I just put on the NV Silencer 5 on my new BFG 6800GTOC. I don't know if I should have left it alone or not. The stock fan was not that loud. The temperature has gone down from 60-61 idle to 57-60 idle. So not much improvement there. The load time dropped to about 67-69 which is alright...

    Onboard Audio vs Audigy Gamer

    I have a neo 2 with the AC97 7.1 audio on board. I also have an audigy gamer from my last system. Do I want to disabled ac97 and use the card, or ditch the card and use the onboard audio?
