My metallic overlay is still with me after new hdd

I needed one anyway so no loss but I put it in, formatted it and there is still a metallic overlay @ 146/192; 170 host clock everything else @ cics spec.

I initially listened to 176 @ 185 host clock and it played 9 hours no trouble. Then I switched to 192 (still @ 185 host clock) and it played 4 hours no issues. So I tried lowering host clock control to 170, after several hours there it was and it vanished with a re-boot. I'm thinking I have to permanently leave my host clock a bit higher than 170, listen to lower than 192 src or get a new cpu (I think its either that or the mobo, there's nothing else to change). So what's the advice on cpu, still E7200 or is something else compatible/better?

Oh well who said pc audio was easy, sigh.
