I'm getting static noises through my rear 3.5mm jack, plugged into my studio monitor speakers (unbalanced connection I know). It doesn't happen with multiple different headphones plugged into the rear jack.

It also happens though but not as much noise using my external USB Schiit Modi DAC and Asgard 2 Amplifier combo, it's still there though if I turn the gain up.

I tried moving cables around to see if that affected it, but it didn't. Everything is hooked up to the same power strip, could that be an issue, or is it the motherboard?

It should.... this PC build has been working for 3+ years. *Double checked I have a Corsair 300R which has built in stand-offs
