Gigabyte Aorus Z690 features noticeable coil whine in its speakers.
Hello, your recent upgrade to a Core i5 12600k with a Gigabyte Aorus Elite z690 board hasn’t caused any problems, unlike your previous setup. The speaker parasite noise you’re hearing when using the RTX 3080 seems unrelated to your new hardware. Your audio is routed through an RME Babyface pro via USB, and moving the monitors didn’t help. Since the issue persists, consider checking for loose connections or interference sources, and if the problem continues, return the motherboard for further evaluation.
Consider trying a different USB port. I faced an issue with buzzing speakers when turning on my headlights, which happened because of tight connections. Using shielded cables helped, but maybe relocating the port could also make a difference. I’m not sure about the exact steps, but it might be worth experimenting.
