New Build, annoying issues.

Needles · 17 Mar 2016 at 09:56

Well guys, I built a new rig around two weeks ago and I have one or two issues.

Spec is - I7-6700k, MSI Gaming Pro Carbon, 16gb DDR4 3200mhz, GTX 980ti (EVGA FTW) and an 840 Evo Samsung. All running on Windows 10 Home 64-bit.

Getting mouse lag, as in moving the mouse and the cursor will stall in one place for a second and then jump forward, almost like it is catching on something on the screen, this manifests in games also (Arma 3, aiming is stuttering and Kerbal when rotating camera)

Second is a high pitched noise on the Ethernet port under load and I can hear the SSD in operation with a similar high pitched noise.

Extremely frustrated having spent around 1600 on this rig, any help?

Update, noise under load is coming from the CPU area.

Maybe an obvious answer, tried re-seating your cooler?

Thanks for the response but I'm unsure as to how reseating the cooler would influence the issues I am having.

Cooler is a Kraken x41.

Power supply?

That's an idea, would cause those issues?

Its an EVGA G2 750w 80 Plus Gold

Thanks for the feedback guys, will let you know how it goes.

Mouse works in different system perfectly, zero issue.

Undertook a windows reinstall, mouse lagged and froze so badly I had to use a keyboard to get through the initial install menu in Windows.

Before doing windows reinstall took out GPU, used the on board graphics, same issue.

In the middle of cleaning cpu and cooler, no bent pins in board.

Had a similar instance with this issue, Msi board then too, inclined to believe the board is faulty.

BIOS flashed to latest, tried in all different usb ports.

Also have a high pitched whine on the Ethernet port under load.

Thanks for the feedback guys, most appreciated.

Rather embarrassingly, after starting the RMA process, I swapped out the mouse and lo and behold the issue stopped.

Still getting some whine on heavy ethernet load and file transfers (from drive to drive).

I am going to keep the board and buy another, using the current board for any troubleshooting in the future.
