    Silent, passive or nearly passive large ATX case

    I’ve tinkering with the idea of making a new build. Probably a Ryzen 3800x or better with a full size ATX or EATX x570 board, re-use my 1080ti along with soundcard, hard drives, etc. I’ll be going for one of those bulky air cooler if possible and run 1-2 CPU fans at low speed rather than use...

    So my Forte is now buzzing

    My Forte is now buzzing. Upon boot up, it doesn't happen. It only happens when I go into a different mode a few times. After switching modes back and forth, one of the modes is bound to have static. Sometimes I will lose audio altogether. The only way to get rid of it is to reboot or to...
