Will the Asus SupremeFX audio riser work on any mobo?

It looks to just be a PCI-E 1x interface. I found them on eBay for $18. If it will work, I'll pick one up to replace the onboard sound on the Sabertooth.

Thx.

if it has the chipset supporting it I cant think of why not. but in just checking the sabertooth has realtek audio so I dont think it will

That looks like the card from the Crosshair Formula III? It should work but i recommend getting a better sound card like a XONAR DX, that's what I use for my Sabertooth. I still have not figured out why ASUS does not implement their own Xonar technology in their boards.

simples why give it to ya when you'll buy it separately

Or they could could charge more for their boards?

They could at the very least put it on their VERY high end boards like their CH series.

I think I'm just gonna roll with the Realtek onboard. From all of the reviews I gathered on it, it's one of the best Realtek chipsets available. Users reviewing it could not distinguish a difference between it and an Audigy 2. That's good enough for me!

Only works on the mobo it was supplied with, some of the bits for the audio are still on the boards so just ploning it in a different mobo it wont work.

Thanks TTL!

I have always been very happy with Realtek audio never an issue at all. I had both of the CHIV boards one had Realtek (formula) and the other had Supreme FX (Extreme) and I would be hard pressed to say I heard a difference

I have never had problems with Realtek until I start playing BFBC2. EVERYTHING Realtek crashes BFBC2.

weird I dont have that issue with realtek and I play BFBC2 must be ..................... AMD HD audio

fouling it up might check it out when ya get ur Nvidia cards going would be interesting to see if in fact thats it and not me being ....well me

Some people are lucky. But there are MASSIVE threads on the BFBC2 forum about Realtek audio/ethernet and EA is aware of the issue.

Also I had these issues when I had my Nvidia 470
