psu buzzing noise

[lionheart09jm]

Hi guys after my cit 750w cheep psu died i thought id spend the extra cash and get a Corsair rm750x psu, but somethink really strange is going on , whenever i scroll up or down on my mouse or load a web page it makes a buzzing sound, and when the psu is under load when playing a game the buzzing is loud and i have to turn my speakers up high to stop my brain from blowing up :/ , can anyone who has this psu tell me if this is normal? im not a pc expert and i have checked all my parts and it is the psu 100% .

Coil whine?

im not sure what it is, all i know is it is coming from the psu, if it is the coil whine would it stop making the buzzing sound at some point?

See above link.

1 - Leave it alone (is it a new PSU? If so, let it settle down)
2 - Secure the coil (glue)
3 - Limit the power you're using (cap the FPS by vsync to your monitor rate - nobody needs 9000 FPS on a 60 or 120 Hz monitor)
4 - Return it and get a replacement (but that is a lottery, and RMA may send out refurbished ones if you don't go to the vendor to get a new replacement)
5 - Get a better quality or higher rated one


Go with option 1 for a while. See if it settles down.

Gah, I hate coil whine.

Get a replacement and be done with it.

How long has it been going on? It could just be settling in.

I know Muppet tries to help, but do NOT open a PSU as a novice. Especially not if you still got warranty.

Inform your seller, return it.
Alternative: inform your seller, tell him you wait two weeks - sometimes it settles.

this is the 2nd day of use with the psu, just annoyed with it tbh £102.99 isnt cheep so i thought i wouldnt have this buzzing problem..never got it with my cheep £30 cit 750w psu before i got this Corsair rm750x psu :/ worried of getting it replaced and having the buzzing problem again.... i only went with corsair because i thought they were a good company so i went with one of there high end psu and all i got is buzzing :/

Why you asking me? I'm not the one with an issue there bub.

Merely stating that coil whine is a horrible thing that gets on my nerves and that I recommend just replacing it and not worrying about it.

I've had the exact same issue before with a TX850M. I just did an RMA and Corsair replaced it.

ok so i should replace and not stick it out? is this buzzing thing a often problem with corsair psu?

If it's bad, replace it with the vendor and get a new one, don't RMA, they send out refurbished ones generally, always go to your vendor first.

If it's only been going on a day and isn't bad, see if it settles down.

Give it a little more time to get used, if its still happening in a few days then return it if it really bothers you that much.

This.. patience. I know new toys should be perfect but, but sometimes things need patience.

Don't forget, it probably came straight off the factory floor, into a cargo container, into a store room and onto a shelf, never used.

For example, I had a laptop battery, new, behaved irraticaly the first charge discharge, I give it 4 cycles, and it settled down into a regular pattern.

The reason for waiting is because it gives you more ammo to use against an argument (if any) with the vendor if they tell you to wait a while too. Always return with a long list of answers to any forseeable questions :) Makes the exchange go faster and easier :)
