To toss this board or not to,that is the question.

Hmm, I would imagine with the number of problems you have with that board that they are related. I would take a guess and say there is a common denominator, possibly a faulty voltage circuit or something, maybe one area on the PCB that has a malformation causing all the erratic problems.

You'd do well with the Monoprice cans, I have them and a pair of semi expensive A-T's, and compared to them and mid grade Senns I used to have I found them to be a very good deal. Edit: plus they come with a nice long cord along with the thinner 4-5 foot one.

hard drive won't show up in windows

I was thinking along that line too, when I was in the "create new disk" portion of Acronis it showed the good hard drive I had the OS on as "Primary Slave" and the one I was having problems with as "Primary Master" ?? I just installed it in my server as the OS drive and it showed up...

Obnoxiously loud corsair PSU

I have a PSU plug in tester that I used before I even installed it in a system, it was running loud then also. Maybe the quietness of my 850 with the 140mm fan spoiled me, but even other PSU's I have don't make this much noise. I honestly don't think I have ever heard one quite this loud before.

I got a CX500 v.2 Corsair secondhand and the thing is way too loud for my liking. I have an 850 with a 140mm fan in it that runs very quiet, my guess is the thermostatically controlled 120mm fan is not working and is running at full bore. Is there any way to fix this? replacement fan...
