Overclocking CPU causes sound issues

[Eggs]

Hey

i recently got a new system;

Asus crosshair IV and a phenom II 970 cpu.

when i overclocked the processor to 4Ghz i have experianced sound issues like popping and distortion, this mainly occurs when there is a change from absolute zero to some output (say if i press push to talk on ventrillo) im using the onboard sound with the motherboard which is VIA audio and software soundblaster X-Fi.

if i take the overclock back to stock settings the problem doesnt occur as much (tends to only make a popping sound when windows 7 starts up)

thanks for any help in advance

Thats normal with onboard sound dude sadly.

its a funny sort of thing to advertise a motherboard on its ability for overclocking and also the onboard sound card... aslong as the mobo i have isnt faulty im happy.

thanks for the quick reply man might have to look into a sound card or just go for stock settings.

Just grab a sound card matey, if it's doing your head in you can pick an ok one up for pennies now adays.

Just get USB headphones no need for soundcard then.
