Kinda. You can just buy a bigger radiator for the hotter chips. Make sure it works with your case, etc.

I had mentioned building a cheap computer for a friends 11 y/o son, and I had just thrown some cheap fans I had sitting around that I had never used. Jesus fuck they where loud. I couldn't give it to her like that, had to put in some actual decent fans. It gave me a new appreciation for Noctua, Corsair, Lian Li, etc fans and how quiet they are.

Decided to upgrade OS on my media computer from Windows 7 to 10. Went to Microsoft site, purchased 10 and there's no way to download or install. There is NO support online that answers any questions. There is NO virtual chat option and when I call their support line, it says support is ONLY available online. Also, no way to refund/return the digital purchase. Is Microsoft seriously scamming people? WTF is going on?

Yeah, I know. I put it off forever. It is the media computer, so not the main desktop I use and wasn't a priority.
Now, I need a new main desktop for the home office and the current one will be fiddled with and go into another room for a different TV.

Using a bluetooth mouse and audio engine 2+ speakers what can I do to prevent this weird static that I hear (from the speaker output) whenever I use the mouse and especially the scroll wheel?
It is not really noticeable when a video or something is playing but it is quite annoying when something doesn't drown it out. As I understand it it is caused because my PC and speakers use the same power source and my personal PC doesn't have something in between it and the speaker like my laptop dock does for my work computer. This problem does not persist on my work laptop or anything that uses this speaker via bluetooth.
Would a small loop shunt stop this?

Yeah standard jack into motherboard. I've read a lot of conflicting things about using a shunt or getting an audio card because the motherboard itself is somehow causing it.

Do you get the static if you use bluetooth from the PC to the speakers? I know you said you dont with the laptop but didnt clarify about the PC. If you don't, I'd make sure you are using a shielded audio cable before trying anything else.

Sorry for the confusion but here's the setup.
Speakers:
Amazon product ASIN B07MYV2527

- Work Laptop 1 (Macbook) -> Bluetooth into speakers no problems.
- Work Laptop 2 (Dell ) -> Audio line into a splitter then goes into a laptop dock that connects to laptop through USB-C no problems.
- PC -> Audio line into splitter goes directly into motherboard audio jack. Static and weird sounds only with PC.

Bluetooth with PC had no issues. I got a $5 audio shunt and the static went away. Works fine now.

I'd double check that the headers for the power button are still plugged in since they're in that area. There a power button on the MB itself?

Not that I could find. I checked every wire and made sure they were plugged in but still nothing. Will have to give it another go tonight.

Nothing spectacular about a 3 series MSI. Work backwards - unplug the SATA's you just hooked up and see if you can get the same error that you did before hand. If so, you found your culprit. If not, then you did something in between those first steps. Wouldnt be the first time Ive completely disassembled a new build over something stupid.
