so I have a seasonic gold 80+ 650w about a year old and its just started to whine I have no idea if this is an issue that needs fixing or just ignore it?.
 
Solution
Seasonic have a number of unit's that are 80+ Gold certified. Which one are you working with? Might it be possible to state what the rest of your specs are? That would help us get some semblance of how much power is being drawn.

Are you sure you've isolated the coil whine to come from the PSU and not from another source(perhaps the VRM areas of the GPU and CPU)?
