Just to be clear -- i don't think it's an issue with me pushing the headphone jack in all the way. The sound work great no buzzing/interference if I am just watching a youtube video, or playing iTunes/VLC. It is only during games, presumably when the graphics card starts spinning up and...

Got it. That rules the shared ground theory. I think it might be the cable -- either its not functioning properly or is not shielded. Do you know if the cable is shielded? I'll try putting my motherboard into my old case but it will take time to disassemble and reassemble. If it works fine...

So I did a bunch of research, and it seems like this is a problem with many cases that have poorly designed front panels. Seems to be some kind of EM interference from the graphics card to the front headphone jack. Did anyone with the Ncase M1 have the same problem? How did you solve it? I...

I got the case about a month ago and love it. Everything is perfect. I have one major problem though. The front headphone jack port gives a very noticeable constant buzzing/hiss if I plug in my headphones. The problem is not with the headphones -- I've tried several, and they all give the...

Sorry it gets lost in there sometimes. Also I meant in general, for smaller form factor cases, not just ncase, just mentioned my situation in case others had experience working with it.

Which is better for a small form factor system on both cooling and noise, the Noctua NH-C12P SE14 or the Noctua NH-U9S? I know one is tower cooler style, the other blows air in. The case I'm planning to use is the Ncase V1, but I can't decide which one would be better in terms of cooling and...

Can I see a picture of this/do you mind posting? would be interested in seeing the setup and how the airflow looks

Oh gosh that's far away. Ok I'm probably just going with the silverstone psu.

Got it, I'll just get the bottom fans then for the case. Is Crucial low profile memory enough to fit the case with the Noctua U9S or do I need very low profile memory? Is low profile memory even neccessary when using noctua u9s?

Anyone have the release date or ball park estimate release date for the Corsair SF600 SFX PSU? I'm trying to decide whether I should wait for that or just go ahead and buy a Silverstone 600G PSU.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I decided to switch out the NH-C14 with the Noctua NH-U9S. My calculation is as a gamer, the gpu is more likely to run hot than my cpu. Here is my complete build so far -- can anyone take a look and tell me if everything looks reasonable? PCPartPicker part list...

Would that cause bigger problems with case cooling? I'm specifically referring to this post: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?...post1040943040 Also the Ncase creators recommend for cards with TDP>150w to use reference style blower coolers. Any experience in using those and what it does...

double post, edited.

Can a Ncase M1 fit both a Noctua NH-C14 cooler and a GTX 980 Ti Hybrid? If not, what is an alternative noctua cpu cooler I can downsize too without impacting cpu overheating? I've heard the gtx 980 ti reference model has a tendency to hit its heat limit so that is why I'm trying to go with the...
