A bit, yes... Since the card is larger than the intended length; it sticks out quite a bit from the back. Do you suspect that the card may be effecting the speakers directly?

Hi everyone... This is my first post here, and I'm desperate. After some experimentation and luck, I get a consistent startup, and no glitches from the eGPU setup. The issue is; that there is a buzz that comes from my monitor speakers whenever something changes on screen. The more dramatic the change, the more consistent/loud the buzz becomes. It sounds a bit like a cell phone, using data, is placed next to the speakers. the Audio interface I'm using seems like the culprit at the moment, but I cannot be sure. The setup is as follows: - GTX980 in a AKiTiO going thunderbolt direct into my Macbook Pro Retina. - Apogee Ensemble audio interface firewire 400 into the firewire 800 port of a thunderbolt 1st gen Belkin thunderbolt hub (I tried the same configuration with the latest OWC; same results). - Belkin hub into the second thunderbolt port on my computer. After some trouble shooting, I've got a few things that have helped, and a few that did nothing. Attempts that did nothing: - Rearranging the thunderbolt signal flow, i.e: Hub into AKiTiO into Comp, AKiTiO into Hun into Comp, and so on. - Changing output signals from the audio interface. - Swapping thunderbolt inputs on the computer, the hub and the AKiTiO - Testing different power sources, i.e: Grouping all to one outlet, using separate wall outlets for the AKiTiO and interface/Hub, and various implementations of power conditioners. Attempts that seemed to help (slightly): - Placing the AKiTiO further away from the interface. - Changing the power outlet for the monitor speakers. I know that this is a strange problem, and it could very well wind up being a quirk in my setup alone, but I just wanted to know if anyone has experienced this or has any advice at all; I would really appreciate it. Thank you, - IMUR

I'm going to try that now. Thank you for posting this information.

Ugh, I found this thread too late, my Bizon Box 2 is already on its way. The only question I have is whether or not I'm going to get the performance promised out of the GTX980 with my macbook pro.
