Hey guys. I set up a new cooling system for my video card today, which takes up too much room for my audigy 2 zs, so I put Karajan module into my mobo. I have z-530's, damn rear speakers won't go! I have black connector to the rear, green to output, and yellow to center, Anyone else have same problem or possible solution. Thanks.
 
okay, update, I actually have z640's, got mixed up. anyway.... updated to latest driver, no fix. :(
 
Nothing else you can do man? That module is to remove interference by taking some whoohaws off the board. It's as plain jane as any minimalist onboard audio. Sure hope you gained more than a few degrees and more than a handful of MHz on the gcard, even though I'm pretty hardcore clocker. Huge step backwards my friend. HUGE. Oh well, like I said I say this even though I'm a clocker, the audiophiles in here will suggest you have picked up the pipe, even the Creative haters.

Anyways, I've had the colors not correspond correcctly before. There are option in sound drivers that redirect stuff alot. Check everything is on 5.1.

How the heck did you block both a PCie 4x lane and another 16x and still encroach on the pci slots? People have gotten evaporators in less space. A cpu sink is like the only thing that could do that. There are nice zalmans that are pretty big specifically for cards I think.
 
well first off, here is what I bought: http://www.frozencpu.com/cac-01.html with the 80mm fans. I also stuck a 92mm fan @ the back of the computer (by empty pci/pcie slots) to pull hot air straight out of the system. Helped lower my system temps by about ten degrees on full load. Now even when my vid card is hard at work, system temps never go above 92f. It helped me oc the card in my sig up to 475 and manage to keep it cooler then it was before. Although I'm still not sure the trade off is worth it. If you look at the card cooler, I can only get it close enough to mount the top screw in the slot next to the vid card. So yes, it does take up ALL that room you mentioned. I do think I could actually screw some holes on the chassis that would allow me to have it above all those slots so it would not take up any of them. Although I do have to admit, so far, I can't tell any difference between the Karajan and the audigy 2 zs. I wonder how much cpu utilization rises with it in games? I played some games so far, can't tell. Don't know what I'm gonna do.
