Shielded frontpanel cables? This term is a little lost on me. Can you give a very quick rundown?

[BicycleMafioso]

Sleeved perhaps?

[counterhero]

Nothing special. Need an upgrade
E7200 OC from 2.53 to 3.6GHZ
GTX 295. Still a best of a card
4 GIG's of ram.
750i SLI EVGA

Sleeved perhaps?

Maybe with ferrite rings..

Analog signals can pick up noise from other electrical devices/cables etc. For things with signals that are sensitive, ex: sound, having your cables shielded from outside interference is kind of important.

This is how Monster used to sell really expensive high quality cables. Now that everything is moving to digital, which doesn't suffer from interference at all, stuff like $100 HDMI cables are absolutely stupid.

I have my headphones plugged in from the front (both mic and headset) and have my speakers connected to the back (front audio) - now here's the dilemma, I have to keep plugging/unplugging my headphone jack if I want sound to come out from my speakers or vice/versa. Is there any software or hardware solution that allows me to "toggle" my audio between speakers and headphones without having to unplug anything? I've looked all over my Realtek sound dashboard but can't find any such feature.
If anyone knows, much appreciated

Don't know about a software but isn't it as easy as going in to playback devices and selecting whichever you want the sound to play from as a default device (2 clicks in total). Even though I think that'd be technically harder than unplugging your headphones but so would a specific software.

Ram - G.Skill 8GB DDR3 PC-12800 RIPJAWS
PSU - Sursa OCZ Fatal1ty Series 750W
CASE - Segotep Raynor G2R Red ( very nice case with good air flow ) got 1x 140 mm fan and 3x 120mm fans
CPU FAN - Zerotherm CORE92 Black Pearl ( very nice design )
HDD - HDD Western Digital Caviar Black 750GB, 7200RPM, 64MB, SATA3

[zRares]

i love the heatsink, it has a light blue led in the fan and it looks awesome...the thing is i couldn't believe how silent this pc is with all the fans... but when the GPU unleashes the hell breaks ) it's like a tornado in my case

[Rennadrel]

As is the case with most high end graphics cards. My 6870 sounds like a jet engine when it goes up on load.

[Drunkenvalley]

Mine doesn't usually hit the fan so to speak. My computer's a pretty comfortable hum most of the time.

[Tavros87]

ek sells backplates too

Are you talking about the top plate on the GTX 580? I have 2 but they dont have that plate. That looks really good!

The Asus sound management stuff with the RealTek shit.... it's complicated and annoying at first, but you have an Asus P67 board like me, so I know you have it. Just toy around with the sound management a bit.

Your RAM is running in Single Channel mode, just fyi.

Let's say your 4 RAM slots are A, B, A, B.

You want to put your two RAM sticks in either both the A's or both the B's.

Otherwise it's a nice setup and looks very good!

i knew something was wrong with the RAM, but a friend told me to put it this was... i'm gonna change it asap thanks btw

No problem! And make sure you teach that friend. ;p You can look it up all over the internet, A and A owns A and B. x_x

512GB SSD? Really? My lord... And don't think about going 5.0GHz or higher on your CPU.... hope you can.... and be damned careful.
