    Still buzzing

    You sir have forever earned my gratitude. I just hooked up the cheater plug with an external ground wire to the brass valve on the radiator and cleaned it up with steel wool to make sure I had good contact. My humming is gone. I still hear some buzzing but that seems to change/gets worse when...

    Still buzzing

    I do have a cast iron radiator right near my computer. You're talking about using something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheater_plug ... and running a single copper wire from the loop on the plug to the radiator's pipe? That sounds like something cheap I can try.

    Still buzzing

    My Xonar U7 has a SPDIF output (and a SPDIF to TOSLink adapter). I'm thinking I can get something like this: http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/behringer-behringer-digital-stereo-near-field-monitor-speakers-ms40-ms40/10321241.aspx?path=8815a18f31328bc0f46425eb73bf4ec7en02 Do you think I...

    That would probably work. But another 100$ plus I would need to change the speakers to a pair that has HDMI inputs.

    Still buzzing

    I can't fix the ungrounded outlet problem. I rent, plus installing a grounded outlet requires that ground wires be run to each box from the electrical panel which is probably ungrounded as well whch means changing the panel to attach it to the house ground etc etc. It's a huge job even for one...

    Still buzzing

    Hey everyone, I was experiencing buzzing from my speakers coming from the video card (the buzzing is a lot more intense when the video card is under load). I bought an Asus Sonar u7 external sound card and am still having the issue. My speakers are amped and powered from the same electricity...

    Krispy Kreme time! Buy a dozen get a dozen free glazed

    That's terrible. Next time tell them that putting a cold KK doughnut in the microwave 7 seconds turns it back into the same hot sticky pile of goodness it was when it came off the glazing machine chain.

    ASUS X99 Motherboard Series - Official Support Thread

    Does the setup HAVE to be the M.2 drive? I just did an x99 build with the Intel 750 PCIe deive and I followed the guides to prepare the NvMe drivers ahead of time on my flash drive and everything went smoothly. I had ideas to do the same thing you want to ... i.e. booting/OS only from the M.2...

    Dremel 4000-2/30 120-Volt Variable Speed Rotary Tool Kit @ Amazon $60

    I needed a dremel recently to mod my case. Had I not purchased a cheap one at a pawn shop, I would have gotten this one :) Mine did the job well enough, but it would have worked better if I could have the cutting wheel tilted 90° in some spots.

    Is brand loyalty worth it? AKA: My x58 build went poof

    I have an X99-pro/USB3.1 as well and I'll echo this sentiment. I like the board a lot. Aside from a problem flashing the BIOS which has nothing to do with the board itself but with lack of documentation and partly a very small error on my part once I figured it out, everything else went...

    Help with two Z97 MB Picks

    I have a bias against gigabyte since my previous computer had their motherboard in it and USB never worked, and the audio was the worst. It wasn't so horrible but you know what they say about the grass being greener ... That being said I only ever owned a GPU by MSI and it performed...

    Studio speakers - can I get stereo sound?

    Thanks for that knowledge. I only have an SSD in this computer so USB interference from HDD's is a non-issue. I will shop around for a DAC either RCA or stereo out and apply the right connector.

    Unbearable Humming/Static/Noise from Speakers

    I had a problem identical to what you describe. (Still do). However I got some good advice here. The problem stems from the fact that the audio outputs from the computer are very badly shielded against electric interference. If you have a USB headset try to plug it in and see if you still...

    Another audiotest for you

    I only got 1/6. In all but one failure I chose the 320kb/s. I was using a USB headset and they all sounded really close. The one I got was the last one with the classical piano and I feel it was obvious.

    Nice I'll try to find one with 1/4" jacks.
