@DarKNeSsKun: Dude! You're in desperate need of some cable management.



D0 Stepping ftw!
i would love to but its a tight space with much hardware, and no where else to go. My case has the down fall of psu on the bottom compartment so it not helping, other then the noise.

Try tucking unused PSU leads behind the motherboard try and tying cables together. (Y)

i dunno, personally i think youre better off with an optical connection with a receiver instead of a analog sound card.
The X-Fi has what creative calls a "FlexiJack". It's basically an input or output jack depending on what you want it to be. In output mode, it outputs a digital signal that can be fed into a receiver to be decoded.

Woohoo...someone did his homework =)

Its weired, I just noticed that the Photo is not exactly the same as my card. My card doesnt has the ancient Gameport but as kontra says an optical in and output.
Even I connected my system trough the 3.5mm jack the sound difference between this and the onboard sound is amazing.

I was using the X-Fi Elite Pro last year until I went liquid cooling and the card wouldn't fit anymore. Now I'm just using a digital optical pass through to my receiver.

Glad you're enjoying the X-Fi (Y)

Lmao, you're having all kinds of problems with Vista.

I had the Elite Pro running perfectly, even with the external sound box attached to it. You might have a serious case of "You're doing it wrong".

lol too much work and it would have to get some extensions to reach.
I'm assuming, because of the fact that you're running an SLI setup, that performance is important to you, yes?

Clearing out the cables improves airflow which improves cooling. Just some food for thought. ;)

its the same with win7 too, now and then, massive static comes and it stop smaking sound, i have to go into the sound settings and fix it up, the PCI express will work fine though, the one you mentioned too i guess.

ill get a pci-express card when i see one cheap enough

where'd you buy those af1's? online?
No, I have a friend in Japan who has connections and he sold them to me for a bit cheaper than it is/was online.

I know Cliffedge carries a pair in a US size 9 for $2, 200. I got mine for about $1, 900 including shipping, which is cheap if you consider the fact that there aren't very many pairs left in stock.

wow.. you bought those overpriced kaws..
Overpriced? Yes. But it's worth it when you're a avid collector like me. People make a lot of purchases that I think are a waste of money... like car parts and certain toys/gadgets. You don't need any of that stuff, you just buy them 'cause you like it.
