    First build: Maximus VIII Hero, Hero Alpha or Formula

    Well in that case the Hero will be good enough. But if you can afford the Formula, the extra features will be nice to have. Besides, that armor looks HOT XD

    First build: Maximus VIII Hero, Hero Alpha or Formula

    CPU fan spinning too fast and loud

    I'm glad I could help. 30-45 degrees is the normal temps for mobos. One thing you can also do is get a fan controller for the chasis fan or fans, with this you can control the chasis fan speeds manually at any time and also it will help you connect the fan with the short cable as they have...

    Is my motherboard the cause to my audio issues?

    It seems there might be an issue with the actual motherboard. It should be under warranty still, try to get it RMA'd by MSI. MSI mobo's have been giving nothing but problems lately, in older and recent models. Consider other brands for future purchases.

    CPU fan spinning too fast and loud
