Hi, so today i decided to mess around with my pc, and oddly enough after I put it all back together I started hearing static noise in my headphones, especially when playing games. The static doesn't get louder when I turn the volume up, but it does whenever I switch my window to the game. I have my headphone plugged into the back of the case. I tried the front as well, its a little bit better but I can still hear it. I also tried it with my other pair of headphones and it can hear the static too.
I turned off all my fans and I can still hear it. I even plugged out my graphics card and its still there.
I updated all my drivers, windows updates, no change.
All I did before this was install a new ssd, vacuum out a bit of dust, took the cpu out and reapplied thermal paste, and did some cable management at the back. I have no idea what causing this now. My only theory is that I damaged my motherboard pins or something while cleaning. I'm a little lazy to take the cpu out again, and since im rarely clumsy I don't see this to be very plausible.
Anyone have any suggestions?
