New Build 970A-UD3

[agros]

I have the Xonar D1 in the 970A-UD3 as it s the secondary machine.The PCI Xtreme Music is in the main rig featuring the  890GPA-UD3.The VIA chips itself is not bad ,as it s based on an Envy24 controller in it s heart ,which were excellent some years ago, the problem is that VIA is falling since 2006 from what was a good company to something small with small driver teams.

Since we have pci soundcards, I guess its useless to discuss  the onboards.
What about the speakers.

It s a long discussion and it s off topic ,but i can tell you that I use usually a crappy Logitech X 530 .But when I need power for the music i connect this cards to my self made amplifier made with LM 3886 outputing into some Focal Polyglass speakers.
But enough with the off-topic.

That pipe which connect the heatsinks... does it mean that works cooler?

I got 970A and installed already.
I also replaced scythe mugen 2 with scythe ninja 3(looks like cooler).
Now Im looking for a 2x4GB 1.5V ram, this Corsair looks cool...
