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.
I have the exact same motherboard and am currently using Vista. I used the drivers from Realtek's own site and was able to use Dolby Digital Live for surround. As well, the drivers work properly in passing through the digital audio when watching movies through SPDIF.
I have the same problem with it giving me an error that it cannot find the device. I think the drivers that are posted are for X-Mystique only since in the file name it states "PCI8768" which is the Cmedia chip found in X-Mystique. The X-Plosion has the 8770 chip.
I finally got a shipping notice email from Intel today morning... and via the tracking number, it says that the item is out for delivery... already!
Awesome!
EDIT: Received the package 20 minutes ago.
Anyone know if this motherboard supports the new Intel Quad Core Processors?
I don't recall seeing this message under my shipment when I last checked:
Pending Shipments:
The items listed below have been submitted to our warehouse and should be shipping soon. Check this page again later for shipment details.
If this means what I think it means, Woot! :)
Do you guys think that it would be worth it for me to upgrade as well? I will most likely be carrying over the monitor, the video card, the sound card, the optical drives and the speakers from the sig below.
Would I notice a jump from Intel 520 to the new dual core?
My dad needs a new...
Sick... my order is placed... the verification process is pretty fast ... at least for me...
I faxed my form+paystub at about 2:00 today and less than 3 hours later, I was verified...
Can't wait!
I have used the monitor with the XBOX 360 (and I still have it hooked up to it) with the component cables and to me, it looks awesome. I also pre-ordered NHL 07 and I cannot wait for it to come!
