Roccat Kave Static Noise

[SmoulderingCircuits]

but my static noise still persists

meh ... roccat support told me that my GPU might create electromagnetic waves wich may create the sound. but if this is so then i dont know if i will be able to fix it.... because its allready in the pci slot that is the most far away from gpu

any help is much appreciated

with regards

That's why I said to enable spread spectrums - they eliminate any EMI but can make overclocks unstable.

GPU is definately not the cause if spread spectrums are on.

I had the same problem as you, my kaves would make terrible static noise all the time.

I moved my sound card into another PCIe slot beneath the graphics card and it fixed the problem. I have a xfi titanium and a gtx 570 (Which is overclocked).

aah ok!

but i had it in the slot nearest to the gpu at first but then i moved it further away and that still didn't help

so i am pretty confused on what to do now. would buying a new motherboard fix this? since i hate mine because ive had issues with it from the start. or will an extended usb cable help?

yeah ive seen those! look awesome... but in my opinion i find it insane to spend that amount of money on a gaming headset on wich i probably won't hear that much of a difference

or will I?

You will, they are basically headphones with a mic, nothing gimmicky.

I'd say get a cheaper card than that but a more expensive headset or headphones

I wouldn't go any higher than £112.99 for pair of headphones unless you're an audiophile really.

£40 - £100 card + £80 - £150 headphones/set (~10-40khz, 64ohm>)

guys i ordered a corsair vengeance 1500, since i could get it for a nicee price and i heard very good things about it. but now i wondered would it give noticable delay in sound and mic when i put the usb in the usb hub on my monitor?

If it's just a pass through? I don't see why it would
