NF7-S onboard sound

[Ymeister19]

hey ive got an nf7-s and it comes with onboard sound, i guess what i want to know is would my onboard sound be better than my sound blaster Live xgames or should i leave my SB live in there?

Yes, soundstorm is better.

 

[Ymeister19]

also will this affect my OC at all currently running 1.9ghz (9.5X200) want the same temps and speed

All using soundstorm instead of SB live will do is decrease cpu utilization and improve sound quality.

 

[Ymeister19]

decrease CPU utilization????

 

[pelikan]

Yeah, and that's good. What it means is if you are playing a game, your cpu has to do some work to put out the sound. Well the sb live will need more cpu than the soundstorm will. So with the soundstorm you have less cpu utilization and therefore higher framerates.
