From reading on forums, other people are recording at 40% and getting good recordings. Also many forum posts mention that they had this problem on Windows 8 and above but not on Windows 7. Unforunately, I don't have a Win 7 machine to test it on.
It came with no software and just got all of it's drivers from Windows Update so I can't really 'get the latest driver' from their website or something.
I also thought it might be a power issue, but I even tried running it through an externally powered USB hub and same low noise result.
Anyone have any clue why this would be or how to fix it?

Samson Go Mic Driver
You can open the sound panel where it shows playback/recording devices. (simply type sound after the windows key)
I have the same mic under windows 10 and I never had to deal with drivers.
I sounds that you did not do a Windows clean install after a motherboard swap, that is VERY advisable to get rid of random problems you might have.
