What do you mean by, it doesn't like your X-Fi?

Its probably more a game problem, seems ok in TW 07, FEAR and a few other games but the game i spend most of my time on (WoW) i get bad fan noise from the 8800, its a known problem and no fix at the moment that ive found.

This thread kind of explains it but there are many more threads about the 8800/xfi problem with world of warcraft

and its in the furthest slot away from the graphics card.

Gone to onboard sound for now, not the best solution but its better than nothing.

Anyone used an x-meridian with decent headphones as i just tried an audigy 2 and it sounded terrible.
