ok, right clicking the creative icon in the notification lets me select a device. But double clicking comes up with the same error.
I don't really care about having the options right now. But whether i send this board back or keep it has to be decided upon tonight. It's leaving, if, at 8:30am. So if you think we can resolve this, then tell me and i'll do the Northbridge. But that'll have to be tomorrow, i don't have enough TIM at mine. So i'll have to get some off a mate.

I'm damn sure we can resolve this, it uses the same audio chip as mine, we just have a bit of tweaking getting the Creative extras running. Typical Creative software for you

56k Warning... lol.
Ok, i have pictures. And guess what, i booted after and my NB was at ...... (drum roll) ...... 40c!
Just need to wait till next week for a new HD and my finished loop.
Thanks to everyone that helped. Especially Alex
Looks like i'm emailing OcUK claiming i got it done locally.

So I was right, it WAS a lack of thermal paste

Not risky at all, I've RMAd countless mobos I replaced the stock thermal crap on, they just don't care. At the same time just be sure not to mention it either. No mention of it, no foul basically.

Glad you got it sorted, but like Ketxxx said, I have also RMA'd boards I have redone the TIM on, they cant tell, retailers wont take the cooling off to check, you would have to make a real hash of it for anyone to notice.
Was there anything noticeable that caused temps twice as high?

Moon was is hard to take that assembly off? Any tricks? Or just a bunch of screws?
