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.
Well as the title states above!
Firstly I have to honestly say that I don't actually have any high end DACs, amps or anything. I'm merely running some Z-2300s straight to my onboard and I've got a pair of M50s for late night gaming/music.
I'm just wondering do cheap (or even expensive...
Actually, no. Spend as much as possible on headphones and as little as possible on a amp/dac as those offer the least possible "improvement" in sound. Unless the output impedence is very high, from the RMAA graphs (and my own ears) realtek is completely satisfactory but has a slight fuzz to it...
I've been turning off the power switch for 6 years or so now. All good, never once had any crap. Yeah the motherboard needs constant power. Its called the CMOS battery :P I always turn off from the wall once I shut down.
I've got a P8Z68 V Pro and I don't see any atkexcomsvc service :O
Maybe its only for P67.. which is weird as hell. Anyhow my AI suite works perfectly fine, really handy too, adjust OCs and test em in windows.
Then why don't you get a 990x. Power consumption: price of 8150 245$-270$+ 60$ from power = obvious fail, might as well get a 2600k instead. That is why everyone is talking about power consumption.
I'd disagree. My M50's are better. The samons may have a better soundstage due to them being semi open, however i prefer the sound of my M50s always haha. The difference is slight mind you.
Well I've picked up a pair of ATH-M50's and I'm wondering, as the title says, if its worth getting a sound card. They don't really need more powerful amplification (my phone drives them to ear killing levels, same with onboard) and I'm wondering if I'll hear a improvement in audio with a sound...
Lol sorry, didn't really summarise it properly in my first post. They're saying it'll be incompatible with ivy bridge due to some defect or flaw or something or rather with current UEFI bios, and will require a reflash at the factory to fix this.
I'm not sure how true any of this is though.

Well, basically article says that due to UEFI bios, ivy bridge won't be supported on p67 or z68 motherboards unless they're sent back to the factory for a reflash there...
What are...
