karajan audio module?CAN you buy one?UK

[keef247]

karajan audio module is missing off an upcoming purchase from a lan party ultra-d board... don't want to buy a soundcard either so:S what to do?
cheers

[kempez]

Buy a soundcard mate. I know it's not onboard but the karajan modules experience "hissing" when the board is running highly overclocked and sound off a discreet card is far superior

[keef247]

you reckon a ultra d and a audigy 2 for 40quid sounds good?

[Clunk]

ultra-d and an audigy is a bargain mate, and the karajan audio is absolutely crap.

[kempez]

I had an Audigy 2 ZS and it was an awesome card. Do you mean £40 for both? If so get it NOW

as in the non sli one the "dual video" but not sli yeah?can you still hack it?

[Clunk]

yes you can mod it to sli very easily, have a look on dfi-street, theres a tutorial on how to do it there.

(very)Basically the NF4 Ultra chipset is an SLI one without a bridge of copper to make it an SLI chipset.

The mod is a hard "pencil" mod using either (funnily enough) a pencil or some silver conductive paint. This makes the drivers see the Ultra-D and an SLI-D chipset. It's easy to do and works a treat if followed well - saving you a few bob in the process

[keef247]

what happens if its not a success will it still work as a ultra d or will it shaft it good and proper?

[kempez]

Nope don't think I've ever seen anyone screw it up...especially using an actual pencil...rubber ftw

[leeglf]

its definitely worth doing i modded mine in less than 5 minutes it was really easy i cant really see how you could go wrong!

just make sure you do it before you install the motherboard because you need to get behind the board to take the chipset fan off!

[keef247]

screws underneath i take it?

[Clunk]

clips...have a read of that tutorial on dfi-street, it tells you exactly how to do it.
