  1. That was just in refence to the attached audio file. The crackling is a separate issue. Will edit my comment to clarify that.
  2. Just noticed the recoding attached is mono. Windows is being silly with the inputs and made them left and right channels so the microphone is only used as the left channel. That isn't a related issue and is just me and windows being silly.
  3. Okay so I'm lost here. I upgraded my sound setup just after Christmas. I'm now using DT770 pro's with an older Shure mic all running off my new (at the time) Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen). A couple of weeks in it started crackling/popping (I can't really describe it. somewhere between someone rubbing wool against a fabric pop filter and something ripping. *See* attached audio recording.) I've tried everything I can think off to fix it. I don't have the issue running off of other devices like my phone or laptop. Only my main rig. It sometimes works fine on boot but will get progressively worse the longer the system is on for. It also get's worse WAY quicker if I crank the bitrate from 48KHz to 192KHz. The headphones I use work fine without the AI and with the AI on different devices. I've started wondering if BIOS settings like my CPU OC could be the cause of the issue. Could it be some timing desync caused by the AI using an internal clocking method that isn't matching my CPU? Here is semi-exhaustive list of some of the trouble shooting steps I've tried this far: Different cable Different ports Reinstalling audio drives (Nvidia ones, Built in Audio ones and Focusrite ones.) Reinstalling Windows Using USB 2.0 ports instead of 3.0 and (I think) USB 3.1 type c (I purchased a separate USB 2.0 port that uses the USB 2 header on the mobo as well) Using beta drivers for the Audio Interface Changing Windows Power plan disabling power management stuff there as recommended by the manufacturer Disabling USB power management in device manager for all USB hubs. (Or whatever windows calls them) Using PEACE and ASIO4ALL Disabling all USB Hubs in Device Manager except the one I was testing the device with. Unplugging everything. (literally just the power cable and the AI. booted PC, launched music player, unplugged mouse, monitor and keyboard then left it running and the pops returned.) It should be noted that the problem took significantly longer to appear when I had fewer devices plugged in. Disconnecting everything else from the AI except headphones. Updating BIOS Uninstalling USB Controllers in Device manager. That's all I can think of right now but if I remember other stuff I will add it. Specs are on my profile. the important stuff would probably be: i7-7800x Asus ROG STRIX X299-E Gaming (BIOS 3403) Corsair RM1000 Any ideas and suggestions are welcome at this point! Recording.m4a
  4. So I just the Rockit 99 Delid kit with copper IHS. I assume that will be fine with the thermal Grizzly Conductonaut I got?
  5. Don't think the new ones support that as there is no screw holes but as long as it works fine I'm not too fussed
  6. So looking at the EK monarch Ram modules they seem to be too small for my ram but the site configurator from EK and the shop I bought it from's support says it's fine. I've read somewhere that it's the LED section of the RAM that makes it too big. Will this affect performance or will it work fine of not an actual improvement? thanks in advance!
  7. So I'm about to start arranging blocks and looking at what will go best where with the space left. Any advice on loop order and such? (Yes I am missing the ram water blocks those are coming and tomorrow also yes that is two pumps I'm going to try and fit the dual one in but if not I have the single ready and I'll just return whichever doesn't get used) P.S. much hype is happening right now!!!!
  8. My only concern is I don't think the case supports more than the 9 fans I'll have for the rads. I'm going to use NF-F12's which I believe have some of the best static pressure for 120mm's put not such good air flow rates. And the reason I want to look at VRM cooling is I want to try and get 5GHz or as close as possible on my CPU while OCing whatever GPU I have and cooling RAM as well. I'm not sure how much power that would require but I'm pretty sure the VRM will be working overtime and with no sidepanel cooling I'm not sure how good the airflow will be.
  9. So I've been thinking... On a scale of unreasonable to outright beyond moronic would it be to Liquid Metal both sides of the IHS and get the monoblock cooler then sell it further down the line and buy whatever this produces and my Ncore dream cooler when both become available? I know it would just be buying the same thing twice more or less but how bad (including the recouped costs from selling the monoblock) would the price to performance change be? (and can I LM both sides of the IHS or will that damage the waterblock?)
  10. Wanted to get a 7740x and I didn't realise that you could only use 4 RAM slots with 4 or less core CPU's and I already had 4GB sticks and I need more than 16GB so it turned out to be cheaper to upgrade to return the CPU to Amazon and get the 7800X than sell the RAM and buy 8GB sticks. (got the RAM on offer before hand) I also stream a bit and like the extra cores for future proofing. But mostly because I could (got it last year)
  11. Also would you just recommend a single D5 then? And if I were to get an ncore CPU block I would need to cool the vrm separately anyway, do you know any good solutions for that or are there even any besides monoblocks? (I'm assuming so)
  12. Thanks that's really helpful, if you get a moment would you be able to send me a pic of the back inside? I'm used to not having room behind the Mobo as I've used a CIT galaxy case and a Zalman z11 plus (both cases suck) but never with water-cooling so I have no idea what spacing to look for. Thanks again for everything you've given me so far!
  13. Would you reccomend this kind or this kind?
  14. Please do that would be awesomely helpful!
  15. I might buy the case soon nad use that to help plan it out. I reckon seeing what I'm working with will make things loads easier.
