Hello, I’ve just bought a brand new MSI MPG A850GF PSU and it’s making a weird constant buzz at idle and under load all the time. Is this normal?

Connections are strong, cables aren't loose, tried different electrical outlets - nothing helps...

Here’s the link to the video:

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Honestly, after hearing the video, you might be experiencing that sound due to the orientation of the PSU and subsequently the way the fan is oriented. DO you hear the sound when it's inside a chassis?

I hear the noise all the time despite the orientation of the PSU - inside or ouside the chassis. .
