This is not coil whine and it is confirmed not coming from the graphics card. I'm curious, anyone else have a GTX980 that encountered a very faint "buzzing" noise that is sounding like an electronic buzzing noise (not a fan issue or something getting stuck) coming from the actual PSU itself...

Which do you recommend between a wired and wireless keyboard? I understand that wireless may have had lag or connection issues, but has that improved nowadays? I need a keyboard for my desktop PC so probably a wired one makes more sense, although less wire clutter is welcome. And maybe a...
