    Re: ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 ... thoughts?

    I had to get a 64bit OS as well (part of the cost, as well as losing Free Nero). When I put it back together I will turn the VM off as well and give it a try.

    Thanks NM for the tip.

    Re: Budget Water Cooling

    you have a point, since the rad can remove heat more efficiently (more surface area) than a reg air cooled heatsink you can use slower fans (thus quieter).
