Abit nf7-s sound

**04scooby** · 03-03-2005, 12:07 PM

I have a NF7-S mobo laying around and was wanting to know if the Aux-in on my kenwood z727 head unit would support 5.1 or just stereo output. A friend of mine said that it would be surround sound but I am not sure, I think it would just be stereo.

also please check the rest of my PC specs and see if the 150W Opus could handle it.

lilliput 7" touchscreen
Abit NF7-S Mobo (laying around)
ATi 9800Pro (laying around)
Athlon 2400+ Mobile 35W Proc
Corsair PC2700 512MB (Again laying around)
WD Scorpio 80GB HD
Toshiba Slimline DVD
Thermalright SI-97 Heatsink (fanless solution)
Opus 150W PSU

Holy smokes, you want to run a full motherboard/video card with an athlon mobile processor? I don't think it will run all that AND the lilliput/HD combo. I think you should tone it down a bit. Why do you need that heavy a video solution? Also may want to think about integrated solution if you want a mATX system over the traditional m-ITX systems.

my goal was to play high end games eventually. nothing like playing doom3 in my car you know?

the full size board I have extra and the on board audio is great, plus it is 5.1.

With that setup your looking at about 191 watts max. That video card alone is around 70 watts max.

I understand I am pushing over the 150 limit but I also know that most places under rate their products. I didnt know if the setup would still be to much taking into account the under-rated 150W PSU. The 9800Pro only showed as 54watts on the power calc I used.

what power calculator are you using? ive got similar hardware planned:

MSI KT6V-LSR (onboard digital audio)
Mobile Athlon 2400+
512MB DDR
ATI Radeon 7500
WD 160GB SATA drive

havent had a chance to test it out yet...

edit: by the way, the 2400+ is a 45 Watt processor. the 2200+ is 35 Watt IIRC.

Hrm...yeah just checked what I ordered, and yes its 35W. Odd then, Google came up with a bunch of 45W links...

Well, at any rate, sweet deal, cuz thats another 10 W freed up
