Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

System is a (new to me) MSI X99s, i7 5820k, integrated Intel 1218-V 1Gb connection run through a TP Link TL-R600 VPN router. The MSI motherboard has the latest BIOS, the computer has the newest Intel network drivers and chipset drivers, the Router has been updated to the latest firmware, and...
I'm interested in just the mobo/proc/ram combo. If you want to split it up it looks like the guy above me wants the drive. PM me a price for those three if you're interested.
When I get my driving sim rig back together I'll check the audio on that as it has a different motherboard. I think its really more the fault of my speakers. They are self-powered bi-amplified studio monitors that appear to have extreme sensitivity to any sort of noise. I took my computer out to...

I'm using a USB creative soundcard so noise inside the case shouldn't be an issue.
I've tried a different PSU, no luck.
---------------------
I think I got it to about as good as it is going to get. I grounded the USB soundcard to the grounding junction on the back of my battery...
Sweet mother of pearl.
So it seems that it is indeed the video card that is causing the interference including the idle hiss/crackle. I can start playing a song, unplug the monitor cable, and it sounds BEAUTIFUL. No noise at all, no minor interference, just perfect. The problem is that...
Oh boy this is turning into a hell of a project. It's like work or something.
I tried putting the 8800gt in place of the 6950 and the noise was a slightly lower volume. I'm not so sure if a new video card would reproduce the same lower volume though because the 8800gt only runs a single 6 pin...
I suppose my next step is to try to mix and match parts from my other gaming computer including the PSU / video card and also to try some different outlets to see if there is some common element that is causing this. This computer has always made noise like that when the video card was working...
The USB sound card arrived today and I still get noise interference. I tried the USB on the back on the computer and up top on my USB hub. The USB also had some pretty fierce general noise and hissing. I was able to use the grounding option on the USB box to reduce the general noise but I still...
I tried making some EMI shielding like what was suggested but that didn't do anything. It must be some kind of interference moving through the PCI slot. Guess I'll give a shot to the USB audio option.
