I'm wondering how people have been able to deal with issues from EMI (electro-magnetic interference). I recently took the stock cooler off of my video card and put a good full-cover waterblock on it. While sound output doesn't seem to have been affected, I do get some poor quality input from my mike (chatting on vent), and I'm trying to find a way around this. This is using either the onboard sound from the crosshair IV or my xonar dx2 sound card (the xonar had crystal clear input from the mike for my previous build). Any ideas? Only things to change were the motherboard and and the waterblock. I'm assuming I'm getting increased EMI from the power section of the graphics card, but I could be wrong. I dropped the overclock and put everything at stock to also make sure that the noise wasn't from the board itself...
