ASUS Xonar DX - how can I use headphones and speakers at the same time?

I just installed the Xonar DX along with JVC HARX700 headphones, Zalman Clipon Mic, and Creative Gigaworks T20 speakers. Before I installed the sound card and the drivers, I was able to use all of my audio outputs at the same time. With the Xonar DX, I have to go into the driver and switch...

Router/Disconnecting issue

I should add that I don't have a wireless card. My PC is hooked up through Cat6 to the router. Only other things that are connected to my router are my 360 through Cat6, and my iPhone through wireless, which is only on when I use it.

Router/Disconnecting issue

Complete Cooling Newb, need your help!

Thanks for your input. So I guess I'm just being too picky/paranoid.. Do you guys think if I put my computer on the ground under my desk instead of on top of it I would get a little decrease in temperature and maybe it would heat up my room less? I'm pretty paranoid about putting my computer...

I should mention that I'm gaming at 1920x1080 at max settings. I live in Texas it's really really hot here, and my roommate is an a$$hole and wants to keep the AC at 78 when I usually keep it at 69-70. My OC settings seem to have disappeared, but I was able to get it to 4.5ghz and my temps...

Okay, so I just built my very first computer. Everything is fine and dandy but I'd like to get my temperatures a little lower. I am absolutely clueless about cooling, like push/pull, how to get air flow, intake/outtake, etc all that good stuff so take it easy on me! Specs: Fractal R3...

You probably won't build it in time, but the RAM that aphelion recommended did lose the 25% off promo code, but it is now at the same price until 1 PST as a Shell Shocker deal.
