Motherboard Audio Interference when using MIC & High GPU USAGE (ASUS X99-A)

Basically whenever i plug in a mic (I plug a pair of headphones into the mic port, it works)
basically Whenever i have headphones plugged in and a "mic" into the back audio ports, i can hear loads of interference, i think its coming from the motherboard pci lanes interfering with the on board audio because when framerates go higher in games, the interference goes faster, and when fps is low, the noise goes lower

I can only hear it when i have something plugged into the mic port

that something isnt grounded... another thing is, two power supplys blew up within 1 week a few months ago
the bois over at OCUK said something is up with the ground, but i thought it may have been a virus that was overloading my 550w superflower psu
so i went with a 650w evga 650GQ and that made a loud sound and blew up twice

ever since i went with a CORSAIR TX750M the pc stopped blowing up
i also removed mailware and basically built the pc again
i think it was mailware due to the psu only blowing up when idle

are both connected?

Sounds to me like you have a home wiring issue, you should start there.

no other appliances have had issues

so , how do i stop this audio feedback into the mic, it sounds like a buzzing sound to other people who can hear my mic

and when it blew up, that was back in October

If it were me, I would experiment with ground loop isolators, add them to both the inputs & outputs, this will solve any ground noises caused by the mains. If there's still noise on the line, it's gonna be a hardware issue elsewhere caused by failing components.

If you're changing standards -10dBu (home audio) to +4dbu (recording studio) because you're connecting a mixer and using an XLR/balanced audio system, then I would choose something like the Behringer Hum Destroyer - They are essentially the same, the later just adds support balanced TRS connections and costs more.
