I'm not sure if the Crosshair V Formula-Z has support for SoundBlaster X-Fi MB.. It has a built in SupremeFX III chip though? On my IV Formula, I had the Creative Audio Control Panel which allowed me to use the Equalisation settings to control my bass level for my amps/subs that are connected via an AUX cable to the back of my system. Same connected setup with my V Formula-Z only that control panel no longer works. Realtek's audio chips are rubbish!
EDIT: Microsoft blocked my product key! It said I had 4 activations left of my retail key and it's only been activated once!
You can contact Microsoft for that now overclocking AMD machines are a little tricky due to heat

About a month ago, I downloaded Win7 32-bit and burned the file to a disk. I forgot about it, and now, I have decided to try it out. The installer loads fine when I insert the disk on my desktop, but I can't boot from the disk. Also, when I attempt to install from the desktop, I get this error...
I tried to install W7 but when it tries to restart (any time) it will freeze. I think this cause something to go wrong as I have to press restart button on front of tower. When it starts back again it gets stuck on Completing Install and since many people say install takes 12-20 minutes I guess it...
