Long story short it looks like my CPU cooler is about to die and am considering switching it for the one you used instead. My only concern is I plan to add an optical drive too and not sure if I can have both!
You need the bracket.... the shuriken 2100 you should have room but you need to cut the bracket a bit.... like I did before. Or mod somehow....
Cheers for the reply Beer. Have to admit love the tidy look in your videos!!
Seriously considering going the same route as you now - remove fan cage and install a Shuriken 2100
Have spotted this external drive which looks just the ticket, reviews suggest its pretty quiet too... plus its powered by 2 USB connectors which would be ideal for my setup - already have plenty of plugs!!

jack0w cheers!
Why not.... you will have a beast!
External is fine! I would do the same! but I don't need it.... got my Lian Li to do all that!!!!
Its pretty nice the Samsung SE-506AB External USB 2.0 Slimline 6x Blue-ray Writer and 8X DVD Writer - Black
It's small
love it....

At lest i can watch a movie in 5.1Usually AMD driver should work by itself .....but some users need Realtek HD audio codecs to be able to bitstream. If it work with AMD driver, you don't need Realtek. I'm glad that you got it to work......
To create a restore point, you can do as following:
1. Click "Start" at bottom left corner
2. Type in the search box "create a restore point", and when it pop up on the top, you can click on it
3. Under System Protection, click "Create"
4. Enter restore point name......I usually enter "working audio_5-16-12".........

Looks like the problem didn't go. I have been at it all day trying to fix this problem. now i can see in control panel under sound digital audio (S/PDIF) now when i enable it and do a test some time it works and after a few minutes the sound is gone again. Even after a restart the problem does not go away. I just dont know what to do anymore. Do you think i need a new motherboard

MrKay
Now that you have a little more knowledge... re-install windows.... format the drive correctly and start over..... AHCI in bios before you install windows.....
Trying makes perfect!

It would be a P.I.T.A to have to reload your system.
Have you checked the Device Manager for any potential problems?
May be a long shot, did you turn of the Media Features?
*edit - I see I'm to late to stop you .......
RE: Antec ISK 300-90 picoPSU HTPC A6-3500 Very Quiet! - MrKay - 2012-05-17
Nope did not turn off media features. To be honest don't know what that is. Just installed windows 7 64bit the 6 time from a secure erase. Installed AMD all in 1 driver ver:8.86RC2 and Catalyst Software Suite 153.5 MB 12.4 Now when i go to hardware and sound then inside sound in playback tab i see Digital Audio (S/PDIF) but when i right click and test equalizer moves but no sound
