Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
96redformula, just for the heck of it I went back to the audio control panel and set it to 7.1 and guess what? The rear speakers transmit a tone. Odd.

Thanks John! I'll have to check that out. I have yet to configure the HTPC for HD audio. I haven't had time with all the re-watching of bluray rips I've been doing. I'm shocked at how much of a difference there is in the video quality between the 5670 and the 9600GSO it replaced. I would have...
Thanks guys! The tv is a low end Sharp so it lacks the 1:1 pixel mapping and even an auto-scan feature. The suggestions from sabregen and others got it working. However, if the slider was moved all the way to 0% overscan the desktop actually increased in size. When it did the desktop icons, the...
I installed a new HD5670 (video card to HDMI-IN on receiver, receiver HDMI-OUT to lcd tv). Installed the latest Catalyst 10.3 drivers. Card is properly detected as "HT-RC160" (the receiver) in WINDOWS7 64-bit and displaying at the native 1920x1080 resolution. It does not however fill up the...
How audible is that NT07 cooler? My new Silverstone GD04 (SWEET case btw) requires a cooler 70mm or smaller if wanting to use an optical drive, which I do. This looks like it may fulfill that need.
