Don't you have one of those face-book or twatser thing-a-ma-jingies to post that sort of stuff on?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Not as great as the 650w, but got 2 of these for $46 each ($36 after I get the rebate).

Amazon BF Lightning deal.
CMPSU-600CX http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044R93S0

And how do those Ripjaws compare to the Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9? I got a pair fo $55 for an i5 build I'm putting together.

Edit: 1.5V versus 1.65V.

That seems to be the only difference, and of course the heatsink. I had bad luck and my first set of them were DOA. New set works perfectly fine.

okay

i need some audio drivers for my creative x-fi gamer card

creative are a fucking piece of shit and their installations keep missing parts of the installshield wizard, keep getting that age-old 'insert disc with layout.bin' on it. i know my installshield utility is up to date because i went through the pain of manually updating it weeks ago. basically my audio drivers are fucked and it'll choose one speaker to make fuzzy and incomprehensible at random... i know it's not the hardware because the next day that speaker will be working absolutely fine and without any complaint. something with the drivers/windows has gone wrong and i can't fucking install any new 'fresh' drivers from their site because the install loader is bollocksed.

solutions? +karma

When I had my x-fi card I used the drivers by Daniel K, much better than the creative ones. Give it a try. I don't know if there are any newer ones out yet or if he even still makes them. Anyway here is a link

Daniel K single handedly gave my Creative Audigy +3 more years of use, Creative drivers were POS.

Now using nice ASUS Xonar DX and no more creative shit.

Same here. Got tired of Creative and purchased a D1 with my last build. Never looking back towards Creative again.

i can't really be bothered to drop £100 on another sound device for my gaming pc... the creative does the job, when it's not fucked like this

not really fussed on audio quality from my PC, as such. as long as it's not crackling, it'll do

This one is more up to date and is a lot better. I use it for my X-Fi Xtreme Music and it works wonderfully.
