Go to solution Solved by SSL,

Could it be the psu cable. I have the a cable with 2 6+2 pins. Might that be a problem?

Maybe.

 

The only way to know for sure with this stuff is to test it.

@Enderman Still want to argue that soundcards will fix EMI?

How can it be argued? Sound cards + vid cards = chance of audible interference. I've had the issue before myself, moving the card to the last slot for me fixed it, it was a Creative X-Fi Titanium if I remember right that gave me that problem before I moved slots. There's only so much you can do with it.

Currently I don't have much option on the Z97M Gaming from MSI since it is an mATX board, but the current Creative ZxR I have sits on the last slot of the board. Picture attached is one I took a while back with the GALAX 980 while I was getting it first set up, but the only difference between then and now is the vid card was replaced with a 980 Ti. I have no issues with this setup.

I had that as same first. But that gave me tons of problems.

Solved. It was the splitter cable. No more buzzing sounds.

Coming off the power supply? That's nuts.

Did this cable come stock with the power supply? Can you get a picture of how it was installed?

It came with my psu. It gave way to much juice. 

 

So i currently use a single PCI cable that is shorter. And doesnt give it to much juice. I will make a picture. sec

Interesting. That card takes two 8-pins, are you now using a 8 and 6? Or?

Well at first I had. 

 

GPU 2x 6+2 pins 

Sound from psu a splitter 1 x 2 6+2 pins (which makes no sense at all)

 

Now:

Gpu: 1 x 6+2 and the splitter thing 

sound 1 x 6+2
