Okay so here is the situation. This is a Windows 8 machine. I just bought a new headset that uses 3.5mm audio jacks for connection. My PC has one for audio and mic on the front, and one for audio and mic on the back. When I got it, I plugged it in to the front panel ports. The sound came in...

Well, it took much blood, sweat and tears but I managed to get the new PSU and HDD in thanks to your suggestions to remove the whole mobo. That heat sink reminds me of those hot rod cars with huge chrome engine stacks coming out of a square hole in the hood xD.
