it is on board though

I wil disconnect each connection one by one and see if I can narrow it down to the exact connection causing it

thing is, i plug my head phones directly into the output on the sound card and I get the same hum

I might just have to buy a new top of the line sound card and say fuck it to the on board sound

another funny thing, when I export my recordings after mastering them, no hum whatsoever

Exactly, when they're designing average motherboards with integrated sound, they seldomly take interference from surrounding components seriously.
On quality motherboards, things like IDE and RAM slots are located strategically (farther away from possible interference sources).
The chipset itself can suck too sometimes, like VIA's early-production (I prefer Nvidia-based when I need a mobo with integrated stuff).

It could just be that you don't have the microphone loopback output muted... that one usually gives a nefarious humming/buzzing.

Computer speakers just don't measure up.

I'm using a Wharefdale 5.1 tower speaker setup with 15" powered bass. Now that rocks.

Make sure the wires do not cross any other wires. Particularly wires for power in the monitor(s) or computer. Get better wires that are shielded.

Spending $200 on a sound card is silly.

All of your appliances around/connected to similar circuits as the computer properly grounded? Surge protectors and what not...
