I myself only load the driver and dont' run the app. I let the BIOS take care of things. Runs my G...

I would go with the Thermalright Ultra 120 or 120 Extreme over the Ninja to cool your CPU. As far as the Quad Core goes, what I really don't like about it is that they are currently not true quad cores. They are two dual cores stuck together. Much like the first Intel dual cores. They have a much hi...

You do not need to have a cable from the optical drive for sound. It's all digital now via the data cable.

You have your drivers loaded and the cd drive is not muted in the audio control panel?

No, but why would you make a HTPC and not get a HDCP compliant card if you are going to buy a next gen card?

Be careful that the Gigabyte 8600GT card is not HDCP compliant. Completely idiotic, the GTS and the 8500 cards are both HDCP and this one is not.

All original items included. The base has some minor scuffs on the outside, but the middle that actually goes on the heatspreader is still smooth.

Gigabyte's fan control on the 965 boards is pretty crummy in my opinion. I had a DQ6 and using any method of the control offered, it would not spin my Scythe case fan unless I manually gave it a push.

DDL and DTS Connect will only do you good if you have a receiver you're going to hook up your computer to via spdif. I have a set of creative speakers that have it's own decoder box, so I use DTS Connect for sound.
