Hi all!
 
It's been a while since I've posted but I finally got my hands on some new parts! I put together the build in the Corsair 5000d case (boy was that a pain to build in; I would not suggest it with the z590 FTW board) and I wanted to see if anyone else experiences an audio pop when booting to windows through their front I/O headers. I guess I'm a bit worried that I may have damaged the case cable as there is literally zero clearance from the board to the power supply shroud.
 
All in all, the audio works and sounds great when all booted up but boy when I restart does my heart skip a beat when that audio pops.
 
Thanks for reading and looking forward to reading the replies!

First check and see if you pinched an audio connection cable during the build process.

I run the audio IN/OUT directly out of the motherboard back so I never bother to hook up the front audio and mic. Surprised to see so many people hooking up and/or using the front case audio ports. 

Yeah, I looked at your image @frankd3 and it caused me to order a front panel replacement, haha. I think I pinched my cables too hard for the audio. In the end I'm going to be returning to my 750d airflow. I called corsair to get a USB 3.1 upgrade kit for the case so wish me luck on getting my hands on one!
 
In general this case is just too tight for this mobo. Not only that, to answer random_matt's question, there is a SERIOUS order of operations when you're building in this case. A few things I recommend with the z590 FTW, plug in your audio and CPU power BEFORE installing anything else in the case (fans, AIO, etc). After that make sure to install the cable shroud (if you want it) before the AIO because oh my goodness it does not go back if you have the AIO installed. Last, plan out your PSU cables because it's impossible to plug anything in once it's set in the case.
 
Other than that, I freakin' love the look of it but it just needs to be like a half inch longer on the top and bottom.
 
Keep me updated if anyone experiences audio pops! I'm curious if it's the case or something that just happens with this board.

I remember the cursing when I had to temporarily remove the cable shroud and the radiator was already in. Just couldn't get enough clearance for that little thing that helped locate the shroud. Had to take out all but two radiator screws and loosen those two and hold the radiator up in one hand while the other took out the shroud.
 
Yep, one stinkin half in on that motherboard tray would have made all the difference.
