Hi everybody,
Recently I assembled a new PC, and all was going well untill I hooked up my speakers and heard a horrible high pitched noise and static. the high pitched sound was made everytime I moved my mouse. I have done a LOT of troubleshooting to get to the source of this sound, being the motherboard itself. On the backside of the motherboard you can hear this sound directly coming from the board. Just behind the CPU backplate.
I contacted the store and asked for a RMA, they accepted and found the exact same issue on their test bench, so they send me a replacement motherboard. I hook everything back up and... the exact same issue.. Again. SO I am wondering, am I extremely unlucky? Is there something wrong with this line of boards or anything else going on?
Here are my specs:
NEW setup:
BIOS: 0806 (sound was even noticeable in BIOS, softly)
OS W10 Pro 64 bit
CPU Intel i5 10600K
CPU cooler noctua d15 chromax
RAM 16GB Corsair DDR4 3200mhz memory LPX
GPU Zotac RTX 2060
MB Asus Z490 TUF Gaming WIFI
SSD Samsung 970 EVO 1tb M.2
PSU First used Coolermaster 620watt PSU now switched over to Corsair RM650X
CASE Corsair 4000x
Soundcard Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro
Speakers (KRK Rokit5)
Keyboard Corsair K68 RGB
Mouse Logitech G500
Screen Asus vg27aql1a
Headphones Hyper X cloud II
Here is what I have tried so far:
Remove all USB devices/peripherals from pc, noise still active
Plug in other mouse and/or keyboard, noise still active
Plug computer and speakers in multiple different outlets and power strips(all grounded), noise still active
Plug in speakers into macbook, no noise
Plug in speakers to Hyper X cloud USB soundcard, noise still active but a bit lower volume.
Plug in speakers to front mounted 3.5mm jack, noise still active
Plug in speakers to motherboard integrated audio jack, noise still active
Mute all sound in the windows volume mixer, noise still active.
Plug in headphones, no noise
Replaced old PSU, noise still active
I have tried another speaker (from an iPhone dock with 3.5mm jack Line-in), this produces no noise in the speaker dock.
Untangled all cables behind PC from monitor, speakers and pc. Noise still active.
Removed soundblaster card and plugged speakers into motherboard audio, noise still active.
*UPDATE* I removed the GPU and switched to internal graphics to make sure it was not the GPU or the power draw of the GPU causing this. Then I heard the exact same noise as through the speakers, coming directly from the motherboard. It is most noticeable on the backside of the motherboard just around the CPU bracket.
be sure to raise the volume to hear the beeping caused by moving the mouse back and forth. This is without any speakers.
