Swapping the channels does not help. If I disconnect them from the computer, they both start buzzing loudly (and get even louder if I for example touch the jack with my finger). And yep, regardless of input and whether the channels are swapped, the left speaker is the one always hissing.

I recently bought new speakers from Creative, the Sound BlasterX Kratos S3. I don't need outstanding sound as I'm using the speakers sparsely anyway but the problem I encountered is that the left speaker keeps hissing regardless of whether something is played and the volume/bass knobs position...

Ah I see, great! Thanks for the resources linked - I looked through them but still it makes me wonder, does it really make sense to choose a 240mm AIO cooling (like, say, Fractal Design Celsius S24 Black which seems to be frequently recommended in the cheaper sections of AIOs) over, say, the...

Thanks everyone for the replies! Hm, but aren't liquid coolers more demanding in terms of maintenance? Cause while I would certainly happily try out liquid cooling as that's something I never used but I also read that liquid cooling systems are far from the ease of use of air coolers which you...

Oh, I just saw that these DR4 and Mugen 5 aren't really "flatter" by any means, I just looked at the photos wrong, sorry for that :D But what about Noctua NH-D15S though? It seems to be only marginally more expensive than the DRP4 while still being really performant and quiet (even more so than...

Thanks. I'm not really planning to do any extreme overclocking but I most likely will try to do some light OC either right away or after a few months so I'd rather be future-proofed for that - so I don't know if these "flatter" coolers like the aforementioned non-pro DR4 or Mugen 5 are a good...

@Zoid @Oussebon Ahh I see, thanks a lot for all the information! In that case, I'd still have one more question - since taking the 162mm along with the case housing the maximum of 162mm seems like a pretty big risk, would there be another, shorter cooler you'd recommend instead of DRP 4...

Ahh, I see! Is it safe to choose a case that supports fans of juuuust the right height, though? Cause for example I would happily choose a SilentiumPC Astrum AT6V over the Phanteks cause it looks really, really great and I think the reviews are rather positive (though not as good as for the...

Thanks a lot for the replies! Understood! In my case however, they're roughly the same price where I live - and the PNY is actually even pricier, though to a negligible amount, literally a couple of bucks. Would you go for the SX8200 Pro then, in that case? Yeah, this may seem a little...

Oh, didn't know there were international PC Part Pickers! Regretfully, they do not show prices in my country and the neighboring ones are also lacking at least a few parts which are available where I live :/ The closest would be UK I guess cause the prices are pretty identical and there's only...

So I'm building a PC right now for around $2000 (+- cause I live in Europe so I'm translating the prices and they are a bit different over here) and here's what I came up with: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor ($504.99 @ Best Buy) CPU Cooler: be quiet...
