I have a Sound Blaster live 5.1 (pci sound card), i also have a onboard AC97 6.1 sound chip which come from my MSI KT4V (Via Apollo KT400).
I am running Windows XP with S2k (Athlon cooling program). Without the sound card i manage to futher reduce the temperature 5C (total 9C).
Ok my question is that should i keep using the PCI sound card? Cause the onboard sound is quite good compare with my sb live 5.1 (infact no different can be heard). I am planing to overclock further more because i get lower temperature without the card.
Some words of wisdom please?
Thanks in advance.

just look how the cooling apps do work ... it using BUS DISCONNET !! search google for that ... now anytime the soundcard ask for status the cooling state is aborted for short time ...
anyway ... to answere the question my way ...
the +on idle cooling is not worth NOT using a good soundcard like an Audigy2
it must be a difference of 50K then to let me think about ...
