Not sure what category this should be in, I think part of it due to the cpu so thats what I chose.
I have recently built a new computer, and have recently been recording some gameplay. When I'm recording or doing anything that makes my cpu spike over lets say 25%-%30% my audio begins to sound like static and crackle. I know if anyone is willing to help you will need more info about my computer but I will list some of the basics here:
Intel Core i7 6700k, Asus Z170-A, 16gigs DDR4 and a AMD Radeon R9 290x.

To me it seems like a hardware issue, like your mother board isn't working well. But also it can be drivers so make sure to download them from manufacturers website for your mobo.
