Hello there!
I've recently got a second hand PSU and it has this weird high frequency, fluctuating and even arching sound when the motherboard cable is connected to either the motherboard or to the jump starter cable cap (the arching sound is barely audible and I didn't even know it existed until I got my microphone close to the PSU, in order to get a good sample of sound). To be more precise, whenever the small connector that goes into the psu is conencted, this sound simply starts. This happens when the PSU is both on or off, it doesn't matter.
Here's a sample of the sound (you might need to download it for the best quality):

The first 5 seconds are without that specific motherboard cable part connected.
I've had the motherboard sit inside my case, on a cardboard box, on a wood surface, it always makes this sound, no matter the context. I've purchased different power connectors and even professional extension cords, but the sound is still there. Both me and the seller thought that the cable might the problem, so he offered to send me a spare one but I've gone ahead and ordered a cablemod bundle, just to be sure I get the top quality (it's still on the way).
Has anyone faced this so far?
