  1. I started up a game (which is when the whining is the worst) and put my ear right against the power supply. I could clearly hear the whine coming from it so i'm going to assume that the PSU is the problem.
  2. i'll put a piece of cardboard as that is less likely to short something out and see if that helps
  3. Ever since i got the motherboard it's had nothing but problems so i wouldn't doubt if it's the problem. I'm going to start up a game and listen to the power supply to see if I can hear the whine to confirm if that is indeed the problem.
  4. i don't think it's my graphics card because the sound card is right beside it and it's fine.
  5. 600W is more than enough for that system. So yes, you can use it as your main PSU. Do you know what the model is of it? If a different power supply doesn't help, then I'll begin to doubt it's the PSU at all. it's an old OCZ mod xtreme pro 80 plus
  6. Any power supplies you'd recommend I get if neither solve the problem ?
  7. My case is an NZXT tempest 410 elite. Do you know something I could put in between the power supply and the rest of the case so I could use the capture card?
  8. K perfect ill try it when I get a chance and see what happens. Do you think it would be fine to use as my main power supply instead of the AX850 if it doesn't cause the whining or should I buy a new higher wattage one ?
  9. The graphics card is between the sound card and the power supply, but that's it. I turned on a game and listened to my power supply and was able to hear the whining so as far as I know it's that causing the problem.
  10. I'll check all my cabling. I have another power supply but I don't know if it has enough juice to run my system. It's a 600 watt I believe. My system is i7-2600k gtx 680 16gb ram 128gb SSD 1tb WD black xonar essence stx would 600 watts be enough to power my system or should I buy a different power supply?
  11. Crucial has their ballistix series of ram that has a (2 by 4gb) and (2 by 8gb) capacities running at 1600Mz. Here's a vid that newegg did on it.
  12. Hello, I recently bought a asus xonar essence stx and when I installed it into one of the pci slots I noticed that there was crackling and when I loaded into a game there was an ear-splitting whining noise. I moved the card around on the motherboard and found that putting it in the top 1x pci slot removed the crackling and whining. The problem I'm having is I have an avermedia live gamer HD and it has an audio pass through that I can't use because it has to go in a lower pci slot which causes the audio to crackle and whine. I believe the problem is coming from my corsair AX850 because as I moved the card down towards the power supply, the noise got louder. Is there a solution to this problem or do I have to go buy a new power supply. If so what would be a good power supply to get that doesn't have this annoying whining noise. Thanks
