Is it possible to underclock only the CPU core of an AMD APU like Trinity or Kaveri, without underclocking its GPU core? It's even possible to underclock the CPU core while overclocking its GPU core? More tips are welcome. Many thanks. Yes and yes. And there's an easy way to do that to with a Kaver...

Nothing. In fact, upgrading RAM, video card, and storage is always on top of my priority, while upgrading CPU is on the bottom - if it's on the list at all.

If you're building a legacy machine to play legacy games, and you specifically want EAX to function as intended, there is no substitute for Creative hardware. It's coupled to horrendous software, but it *is* the reference standard. I'd recommend an Audigy 2 ZS if you have a PCI slot to put it in. S...

I seem to recall reading that the software-based EAX for Realtek did not work very well, and only supported older versions of the EAX standard. Probably not worth the trouble. Well, this is for a legacy system anyway - to max AA and AF in old games like WarCraft III and Hostile Waters, so I'm reall...

So, um, help?

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

Well according to its spec, the Gigabyte H61N-USB3 has Realtek ALC889 HD, and according to Realtek website, the ALC889 HD is compatible with EAX and Aureal 3D. I'm going to use this board for my "legacy" Windows XP mini-ITX system. But pardon my stupid questions, since I've never bothered ...

I was thinking more along the lines of checking it with an ohmmeter between the third prong of the plug and an exposed metal spot (like say the threads in one of the mounting screw holes). I see, thanks! :) You may have voided the warranty already, depending on whether anything got obviously bent o...

No worries, I actually had a similar problem on a Seasonic G-series that I tried to fit into Bitfenix Prodigy with drive cage, well not really the same, but I had to bend and twist the native cables at some pretty cringey angles to make it fit (to the point when they were pulling on the internal co...

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/fullimage.php?image=40350 To be honest, my main concern would be if the caps on the soldered connections were loosened, but that's not likely as they are fixed. You might have weakened the solder on the wiring, which could lead to trouble (maybe shorting internally) b...

Hi, I'm not a power supply expert, but I don't think you would have ruined anything. From hardwaresecret's teardown of that PSU: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Thermaltake-TR2-700-W-Power-Supply-Review/1422/3 The cables look pretty well fixed (soldered) onto the connections and if the unit ...

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

So I eventually decided to use Thermaltake TR2 700 watt for my Silverstone SG08 Lite chassis. Due to the way SG08 places its PSU, and due to the PSU's IEC socket placement, the SG08's extended power cable will get bent too much, because the connector’s cable side becomes too close to the front panel...

So, can we use the mobo's built-in HDMI output connector for sound while using discrete video card?

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

I remember in the XP days I would keep Master Volume & Application volume @ ~80% (2 page downs from full). That would give me the loudest volume while maintaining fidelity. As others have said, not an issue anymore. Side note, you can still get clipping if you use VLC's >100% volume settings. W...

Pardon my late participation, but I don't think MT-32 sound banks can handle games with MT-32 sysex. It seems software emulation like Munt can do it better in that regards, and IIRC the latest version of MT-32 ROM dump Munt uses is difficult to discern from a real MT-32. As for Sound Canvas, well, ...

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

So here's a question: where does a motherboard's HDMI output belong to? The built-in sound chip (Realtek, VIA, etc), or the integrated graphic? In every board I've seen, the integrated graphics. As far as I can tell, you can still use the HDMI out just for sound - though I haven't tested it persona...

So SFARK is a compression program, not a convertor? Huh! Learn something new every day! :) Thank you very much! Indeed, SFARK is a compressed format. Try here . You should not compress an already-compressed SFARK file with an SFARK compression utility; you should use SFKAR de compression utility to...

Is that the Gold version? Let me know if you plan to sell it.

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

No, HDMI output is up to Windows, not the games. If an application supports multichannel directsound (as Warcraft 3 appears to: see post on this page ) then multichannel PCM, at least over HDMI, should work with any half decent receiver. S/PDIF does not support uncompressed multichannel PCM due to ...

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

If you use multichannel PCM (for content that is not natively encoded in DD or DTS) then you shouldn't have to worry about DDL or DTS:C. For example, I have a 6-year old Denon receiver connected to a HD 4850 from 2008 via HDMI. I just select the HDMI audio source from Windows Playback Devices, make...

IIRC you should unzip them first. Do they came in .7z format? I didn't remember. I did, but some were in SFARK format, not sf2. That may have been the problem. The sf2 format ones worked like a champ. IIRC SFARK is still a compressed format, so you should uncompress it to SF2 format. I don't quite ...

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

Thanks, but it's not boomy at all. In fact, it's articulate, although it also depends on the amp. With Sansui amps (AU-7900, A-40), the bass sounds thinner, but more accurate. With cheaper amps (like NAD C375BEE), the bass starts become boomy. Also, the Sansui outputs cleaner, more accuate HF, whil...

Any idea why I can't add more than one soundfont to BassMidi? I added SGM, but now I can't add a second, even trying port A or B. What? It's as easy as clicking on the Add button. https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/394x365q90/840/kk4d.jpg :o Holy Schnikies! That's an awesome setup! Thanks! :) Anyway...

Oh my, the 1970s are calling. That rig would have been top-end in my freshman dorm in the fall of 1981. That Sansui is from the era of the WPC wars, usually fought in the ad pages of Playboy. Actually, the JBL 120Tis haven't had existed yet in 1981. ;) Also like the copy of Falcon 4.0 in the backgr...

The speakers were bought second-hand, but the amplifier was inherited. What can I say, my dad was an audiophile.

Kreshna Aryaguna Nurzaman

I asked this in another thread, and got no bites (My phrasing it poorly didn't help). So, here's a hopefully better explained version of what I'm after, what I've found available, and what I need it to work with. Way back in the day (DOS6.22), I had a rather crappy sound card (SoundMan Wave, unfort...
