Hi knowsitall,

When filling out the RMA form, just explain that the wires got stripped when the case was assembled, before the supply was powered-up. Also, be sure to clearly explain the conditions under which the PSU would make the whining sound (heavy load, light load, ambient temperature, etc.) Besides, I suspect that the technician reviewing your RMA'ed PSU would know whether you damaged the supply or not.

It is unlikely that a short-circuit would result in the high-pitched whine you mention. A sustained short-circuit would either result in catastrophic damage (if there is no protection circuitry) or the supply would merely detect the over-current condition and shut down safely (the most likely option with a high-end PSU).

Give PC Power & Cooling a chance to stand behind their product. Let us know what happens.

Regards,

Altazi
