I’m going to try it with no graphics card this afternoon.

It’s for sure my PC as I just tried my Laptop and it was dead silent (tried with it plugged into power too). I’ve got another video card coming in the mail for another build I have, so will try not having a video card vs having one when that arrives. Too lazy to take it out right now.

Happy enough anyways, just did a few tests and during the tests I stopped to listen to the music because I was enjoying it.

Is the sound like this:

This is when the gpu gets a good/full load (tv is on the intro screen to little nightmares 2). While on desktop, playing music or playing a small indie game it is dead silent. I’m going to try that Beringer Hum Eliminator. I messaged the guy who was having problems in that other forum and he said the Beringer worked for him. It’s not particularly silent for me, it can be heard normally at a -20db under reference.

Yea, pretty similar sound for me.
