Not sure what to do with my PSU noise problem...
It basically sounds like this (36s)
it is barely audible when the fans in the PC start spinning faster during gaming and heavy load.
but say when I am browsing in windows, the whole PC is silent except for this buzzing/rattling noise..which is kinda annoying..
There is only 1 fan in the PSU right? Cause i am getting the sound even when the big PSU fan is not moving. (it sounded more like a rattling fan than coil whine to me)
Searching more, it seems like people are getting the same problem with Corsair PSU even after replacing the PSU...so I am not sure if it is even worth the hassle to try to warranty it.
I think I am still under NCIX return period...(assuming I can return it used with all the packages opened)
But I also really like the blackout look and modular cable...plus I got it for cheap ($45)
What brand/model PSU would you guys recommend silent noise?
Edit: PSU is a Corsair CX450M
