Renascentia

Thank you for replying. I will be trying this solution. Edit: If it is EMI, how should I go about improving the situation?

I tried 13 ports (front and back). How do I know which drivers are usb drivers? https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/X99A/HelpDesk_Download/ Sorry for asking newbie questions but I'm a newbie.

The G930 headset is USB. How do I get rid of USB static?

I returned the cloud 2 and the g930 is usb only. I did hear that the 7.1 is software driven but that doesn't really matter to me. The headset was on sale and looked comfortable.

Would that mean uninstalling "Realtek Digital Output (Realtek High Definition Audio)" and "Realtek Digital Output(Optical) (Realtek High Definition Audio) then replacing them with the two audio drivers on the right side of the screen?

How would I go about fixing this then?

As the title states, I've got this wretched buzzing sound coming from my headset. At first, I had a pre-built HP laptop and a HyperX Cloud II headset. The buzzing noise/static was driving me insane and so I ordered a replacement HyperX Cloud II. When I plugged it in, I noticed the replacement had the same static. I figured something was wrong with the mobo's soundcard, but apparently the HyperX Cloud II's usb dongle has its own sound system going on so then, I assumed the fault lied with that specific product and I returned it. Since then, I've built a new custom PC and bought a new headset: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor ($319.99 @ Micro Center) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler ($79.90 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus X99-A ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($238.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory ($104.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($81.61 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($119.75 @ OutletPC) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked+ ACX 2.0+ Video Card ($639.99 @ SuperBiiz) Case: Corsair 750D Airflow Edition ATX Full Tower Case ($119.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($83.99 @ NCIX US) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home Full - USB (32/64-bit) ($105.99 @ SuperBiiz) Wireless Network Adapter: TP-Link Archer T8E 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($62.90 @ OutletPC) Monitor: Dell S2716DG 144Hz 27.0" Monitor ($599.00 @ Amazon) Keyboard: Corsair Vengeance K70 Wired Gaming Keyboard ($99.99 @ Best Buy) Mouse: Logitech G602 Wireless Optical Mouse ($51.80 @ Amazon) Headphones: Logitech G930 7.1 Channel Headset ($69.99 @ Amazon) Total: $2778.87 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-12-25 00:25 EST-0500 The static/buzzing sound still haunts me. ____________________________________________________________________________ Additional information: . Both headsets use 7.1 surround sound technology . Both motherboards have built in sound cards . The static is considerably louder when I am listening to something.

Thanks for reading this post. I'm building my first gaming rig and ordering the parts today. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/493504-black-friday-gaming-rig-first-build/#entry6614289 This is the build so far and I've pretty much settled on everything but the motherboard and ram (mostly because of a lack of knowledge).

I'll probably go for 2 way sli in the future (upgradeability is important). As it is my first build, I am a noob so if you suggest something please tell me what advantages/disadvantages there are. If it matters, this system will be facing heavy usage (6-10 hours a day) - It's also for work

One more thing... Sorry Can you refer me to a pc building guide? I know next to nothing about assembling a pc so I need a comprehensive guide for noobs.

I like the sound of lower cas memory. I remember there being a lot of hype surrounding that funky brown cooler. I guess it was rightfully named king. I see the case you suggested is a full tower. Would this build not fit inside a NZXT H440?

ordering it now. Thanks for clearing that up for me @McFr3aky and also thank you @Aytex for responding -Praise the dark lord

What advantages does this build have over Morgan Freeman's build? My knowledge of individual parts isn't very extensive.

I'm in the process of ordering parts for my first build http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/493504-black-friday-gaming-rig-first-build/ I made this post because I'm stuck on the case. There is an option for Matte black/red: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146149&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Cases+%28Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form%29-_-N82E16811146149&gclid=Cj0KEQiAm-CyBRDx65nBhcmVtbIBEiQA7zm8lWV93xdQOoJvfop50zEn3aE64Gu0s8bIHqNyAukYmzsaApNr8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds and another option for Matte black/red new edition: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146217 Are they the same thing? What are the advantages and disadvantages of getting the newer one over the older one and vice versa?

Ordering the parts now One final question. What's the difference between http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146217 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146149&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-Cases+%28Computer+Cases+-+ATX+Form%29-_-N82E16811146149&gclid=Cj0KEQiAm-CyBRDx65nBhcmVtbIBEiQA7zm8lWV93xdQOoJvfop50zEn3aE64Gu0s8bIHqNyAukYmzsaApNr8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

Morgan Freeman, My savior Thank you for replying again. I'm a bit desperate. In Response: 2. updated psu to 850w platinum (adding another gpu brought it up to 720w which 850w platinum should be able to handle right?) 3 & 9. the dba on dark rock pro 3 is insanity. Instead of be quiet! It's more like STFU! 7. As for the monitor, whatever is left in the budget can be used for it (600 USD) I'm not quite sure what makes a good monitor. What I do know is that I don't like ghosting, don't absolutely need 120/144 refresh, according to the FAQ in the display forums 1ms, 5ms... shouldn't be much of a difference, and I'd to get a screen that's on the larger/wide side. When they say 27" they measure diagonally across the monitor yes? A couple things I've heard about what makes a good monitor: IPS looks better, 1ms, 5ms, 10ms it doesn't matter too much, what's important is how laggy a monitor is... What's the truth and based on that truth which monitor should I get? 10. having a hard time deciding which cpu to get so I didn't change that yet. 4 channel ram means that I should get 4x4 instead of 8x2 to get the most out of it?
