    Good review. Most scores are really par with the m15x so far. It would be so nice if you could get that cpu to utilize throttlestop for full control of the cpu.

    It's a toslink adaptor for the spdif jack, if you have an R3 there is a headphone jack that glows red it's a toslink/spdif jack and that's the adaptor ;)
