I noticed you were also looking at refurbished parts, perhaps this one would be interesting ? https://www.rueducommerce.fr/produit/kfa2-geforce-gtx-1080-ti-durapro-11gb-ddr5x-69646273/offre-133592393?awc=6901_1547042108_0a2703f2c19b4df2d461853841b0f94b&utm_source=169249&utm_medium=affiliation&utm_content=lien-profond Seems to come with a 6 months warranty, though I have no idea about the performance of that particular card.

All right, will look into that, thank you for your help!

Well, to my understanding it is grounded. Three pins everywhere. If it is the PSU, which I understood that as you said, Seasonic is among the best, the audio loop issue with the motherboard looks quite weird...

Both the PSU plug and the surge protector plug have the three pins, so I supppose it is grounded ?

I went through disabling/enabling every possible "feature", it didn't help however, my stand-alone Aukey microphone won't be powered properly by the onboard sound so I could only use my headset microphone there. I checked the build, it seems alright to me, everything looks screwed in properly...

All right! Yeah, I did plug the PC onto a seperate plug by itself, and it made no difference.

Hello, not sure if I made it clear, but unplugging the USB Soundcard and using motherboard jacks (whether it's front panel or rear panel) creates a "loop" issue where you the microphone sometimes picks up the sound that I can hear (On Discord for example, people would hear themselves, like if I had Audio Mix on or something along these lines) All right, I will check that asap, thank you. I'm from France, the socket (or plug?) is basically this The extended pin in the neutral pin if I'm correct. The PC should be grounded as far as I understand how it works, but as ibabyslapper said I will check everything again

Hello, I'm not exactly sure what grounded means, nor how do you achieve proper grounding. I've tried looking into that before, but I got quite confused. My PC is plugged into a "surge protected" outlet, which is plugged into the wall socket that has the "Neutral" pin. (not sure if that makes any sense to you) Otherwise, I may as well contact Seasonic to get a possible RMA I suppose?

Hello, I've been having an audio interference issue with both USB and audio jacks ports. Using USB soundcard (Creative Omni Sound Blaster Surround 5.1) my microphone seems to pick up some random noise from the computer. If I use the 3.5mm audio jacks, the output sounds will be played through microphone (basically other persons will hear what I hear too). I can't use my monitor speakers while playing either because I will get a squeaky sound like a GPU coil whine. I had these problems with two different builds, mounted in the same case and PSU, basically I changed my motherboard, CPU, GPU. I am at a loss to figure out where the issue comes from, if you guys have any idea it would be much appreciated. I tried using different headsets and microphones, but it didn't help. Plugging the PC into another plug in the room didn't help either. Thanks in advance for helping me out, sorry if I made any english mistakes.
