http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GWR9cf is my system but using this mobo instead https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_VI_HERO/overv... The mobo i currently have is great, however there is a constant white noise that pretty much overpowers every other noise i have. At first i thought it was my headset, but once i found out that was not the headset when i brought a new pair. I did a bit of reading and appearently this mobo i have is known to be buggy. I tried looking for a fix i can download however i have had no luck. If anyone knows of a fix please link if not please help me find a good mobo price limit is 400 bucks.

Your link to the Hero board is broken.

Are you possibly experiencing coil whine?
It's somewhat common with graphic cards and PSU units.
Intel i9 10850K@ 5.3GHz
ASUS ROG Strix Z490-E
Corsair H115i Pro XT
G.Skill TridentZ@ 3600MHz CL14 2x16GB
EVGA RTX 3090 Ti FWT3 Ultra
OS: WD Black SN850 1TB NVMe M.2
Storage: WD Blue SN550 2TB NVMe M.2
EVGA SuperNova 1200 P2
ASUS ROG Strix Helios GX601

AS for coli whine its not that. its like a static noise is the best way to describe it.

"Constant white noise" and you thought it was your headset? So is the sound always present and coming from the board, or are you having noise issues when playing sound?

I am almost 95% sure its coming from something in the computer, due to when i mute all sound on my computer i still hear the noise. Also i should mention when i turn my computer off i hear somewhat if a popping? noise through my headset.

And Matel152 thanks ill check that link out.
