Mic feedback with GPU intensive programs?

[karma charger]

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my mic recently and a lot of people have been pointing it out to me recently online too. Whenever I am playing a GPU intensive game or running a GPU intensive program, my mic produces a pulsating buzzing sound that is very noticeable. This buzzing sound only happens with GPU intensive programs, not CPU intensive. I am lead to believe it is a shorting problem and that I should reseat everything in my case. I will give that a shot tomorrow after work. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Thanks!

I bet there is an issue with the psu or video card. I wouldn't have used a dual rail psu for that card. Start with psu first.
