Bottom Bracket Creak

Hi,
My Boardman Team Carbon has developed an annoying creak in the Bottom Bracket when getting out of the saddle and putting the power down.
It's using a FSA PF30 BB which I believe is prone to creaking by design, I'm pretty sure the bike didnt creak when I first bought it 9 months ago so I'm not prepared to just 'live with it'. I've had the BB serviced but the creak still remains.
The bearings still run smooth.
I can get an exact replacement BB for about £20 but I was wondering if anyone has tried one of those conversion BB's such as
the KCNC: https://www.sjscycles.co.uk/bottom-brac ... oad-68-mm/ and had a creak free experience?.
If I did try one of these would I still be able to use my current FSA Gossamer chainset or would it have to be Shimano?.
Any advice much appreciated, thanks.
