[QUOTE=''Dwarfius2'']Question #1 : My case(Antec 900)came with both Hd audio and AC'97 connectors. I can only plug one on my motherboard. Which one should I choose?Question #2 : I will order a core 2 duo E6750 soon. I will need thermal paste. Does it come with the processor?Thanks[/QUOTE]Use HD it sounds much better. HD=high def They use the same drivers usaly.Yes but sometimes with a thermal pad applied to the heatsink already instead. Your're better off gertting something like artic silver tho.Case connectors and thermal paste questions
So, if the heatsink already has a thermal pad installed, I don't need to use thermal paste on the processor,right?

Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R.Is it compatible with hd audio?
