I had that on one of my previous soundcards, a Xonar STX.
It picked up noise from the line in, which i didn't use anyway.
So i just muted that in the windows recording devices tab and all coilwhine in my audio went away.

If you're looking for 144Hz and G-sync at 1080p there are a few options I can see on one of my preferred stores.
BenQ XL2420G (24")
AOC G2460PG (24")
Acer XB270HA (27")
Unfortunately I've not looked in to any of these, but I'd expect they won't have the generally accepted quality and feature set of the swift. They are a fair chunk cheaper though of course!
Edit: Smokey those are beautiful. You're doing great work, don't listen to anyone who says otherwise.
Doesn't have any space to screw? Is it not aligning with the screw hole properly?
thanks for the details & links
Follow-up question -- If I have a system that cannot reach 144 fps at 1440p for most games, is it pointless to buy the ROG Swift?
I don't know much about GSYNC, so is it wasted if... for example I can only run games on average at 80 fps at 1440p?
Ok im taking a guess here but i seem to notice something id like you to check.
The CPU Cooler, the 4 arrows on the pushpins direct the direction they should be turned for the unlock position. The opposite direction for the lock position. Make sure they are all locked, ie turned clockwise.

Having a mouse issue.
I leave my computer on 24/7 basically. Turned on my monitor and my mouse cursor was frozen. Happens sometimes after being idle for a while.
I unplugged the mouse, plugged it back in. Nothing. The mouse has power, but just won't do anything. It's an MX518 and I have this logitech gaming software installed (have several logitech products), and it won't even show up in there. I had an old razor mouse that I tried hooking up and it worked for a few seconds but stopped working promptly. It was faulty anyway and part of why I stopped using it.
I don't know what to do. I disabled this usb power management box that turns off your hubs after a while. I tried several different usb ports, powers on the mouse but nothing works, moving, clicking etc.
RIght now I'm using a logitech combo keyboard/mouse (track pad ) wireless apparatus and it's working fine.
Any help would be appreciated. Already ordered a new mouse but I wouldn't mind cancelling it if I can figure this out.

Anyone ever have a bad experience with open box motherboards from newegg?
I'm about to buy an asus z97i plus open box that just saw a discount... I really hope im not screwing myself over. I'm planing on keeping this build for anlong time?
Even if its open box, do i still have warranty with asus?

I been looking at the PC showoff thread, and something snapped inside me. I want to build a PC, I only have a modest budget as of right now but here are the preliminary parts I'm thinking of getting:
Anything I should add or take away? Any advice would be appreciated
Country? Where are you buying parts?
US, mostly Newegg
So, I serendipitously stumbled onto the solution of my problem: both the 750Ti and 960 are going to be released with 4GB variants this month (actually, there's already a 960 4GB being sold).
I might wait for the 960Ti since that should be released shortly. Whether it will have 4GB is another question altogether...

I don't really have one but I'm not going to throw money away either. I was hoping to get another 770 for around 200 being that it's been out for awhile and SLI the too of them. My screen is the ROG SWIFT so I would like to push 120+ FPS in games like BF.

You're not going to push 120FPS on BF4 with 2x770s on a 1440p monitor unless you seriously sacrifice graphical quality.

Do you prefer to buy from Newegg? If not, you could save money going elsewhere. Do you live near a Microcenter? They have lower priced CPU+motherboard bundles as well as CPUs for quite a bit less than other places sell at.

I'm going to assume that costs less than what you had. Generally better parts all around, should perform better.
The H100i doesn't perform quite as well as the Phanteks air cooler at normal fan speeds, only when fan speed is set to maximum which gets loud. There's also faster memory, a stronger graphics card (by up to 40% I think), and a newer, larger capacity EVGA power supply which I think is a better buy than the EVGA Supernova G1 you were probably looking at.

They have arrived!
Will have to hook them up later. Install new drivers. All of that. PC Porn pics later.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Any OC'd recent i5/i7 will allow you to utilize the Titan X to its full potential; pair with 16GBs of RAM and a quality SSD.
More importantly is your monitor. The Titan X is overkill for 1080p/60Hz.
ROG Swift, a monitor as equally as flagrant as the card.

No it's not, the gpu is new btw.
All of them are turned clockwise.Ok im taking a guess here but i seem to notice something id like you to check.

Lemme know if this is overkill with the Titan for gaming/3D Modeling.

Looks good to me. Can upgrade the cooler to something bigger/nicer though depending how much you plan to OC.

I chose a better CPU cooler, more expensive of course but I find it rather funny to have the 212 in such a high end rig.
RAM is faster, for slightly more money.
Cheaper XFX PSU. Their PSU are made by Seasonic, so the quality is good.

So... what do you mean, then?
What's your budget?
You seem to be going with a black motif, but there is 16GB of G.Skill 2666MHz RAM for $20 cheaper, too bad it's blue.
I'd go with a better air cooler, the 140 watt TDP is a bit high for a budget cooler like the 212 Evo to handle effectively, especially for overclocking. There's the black version of the Phanteks PH-TC14PE for $70 that will perform well. If you don't mind white, blue, or red, then those versions of the Phanteks air cooler are $10 cheaper at $60.
Haven't considered what sort of storage drives you'll be getting? And do you really need a DVD drive?
If you can spend for it, I highly recommend the Fractal Define R5 ($108~$118), a lot changed from the R4 to the R5 and there's a lot to like about it.
The EVGA Supernova G2 is a great power supply, but it's a bit expensive. Just about two weeks ago, it was $85. I'd recommend something cheaper yet still high quality like the Supernova B2, 750 watts for $60, 850 watts for $65. If you really want gold efficiency for some reason, then there's the XFX XTR 750 watt gold rated fully modular PSU for $89, it's actually manufactured by Seasonic which is a great brand.

After cutting out the DVD drive and replacing the currently overpriced Supernova G2, the better case and cooler only amount to a $16 increase over your initial build.
When I try to insert the gpu into the motherboard when it was installed into the case, It wasn't aligned properly with the PCI slot.
http://meowch.at/i/ENwI7cQkzmry
Does the motherboard's I/O panel line up with the I/O shield?
Can you try loosening the motherboard screws and realigning the motherboard?
It's lined up with the I/o shield.
Sometimes you need to put a bit of pressure on the case as they aren't all built to good tolerances. That's if it's a few mm off. Shouldn't be very far off though.
Hmm, I'll try when I come home from college.
Actually nope, just had another freeze. :\

i need to stop coming into this thread! i just bought a pc a month ago and ALREADY want to upgrade. i5-4590, 8GB, R9 290. I know it's a good build, only for 1080p, and will last me a couple years but i just really enjoyed building it and want to do it again.
Edit* all them titan x's are so damn beautiful!

THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
I took out the cmos battery and saw that my cpu power was loose from the cpu power extension
Took them apart and noticed they have different sockes
Mb and cpu power extension have the same sockes but my power supply cpu sockets are completely different
Mb and cpu extension are
OSSO
SOOS
cpu from power supply is
OSOO
SOOO
EDIT
Just turned on computer and it turned off, started up agian and said BIOS was resetted...
Was the shut down supposed to happen?
