Hey. So my Seasonic S12II-620 arrived today and all seemed well and well I mean kinda seems well. My problem with it is, I am 100% sure that it has enough watts as previously I was running a 500w EVGA PSU without a problem. Now my problem with this one is, under no load like Google Chrome and maybe like some light stuff like watching Twitch streams or Youtube videos, it's all good, quiet, how I'd expect a PSU. However as soon as I launch a game, even god damn CSGO the thing sounds like an airplane and is by far the loudest thing in my case, and also generates the most heat. The heat it creates also spreads it up to my GPU, raising it to temperatures like 65'C which I know are normal, however it never hits those temperatures, 55'C max perhaps in like CSGO definitely.
Sound = Oh and yes, the main really loud air noise you head is the PSU, not the small coil whining coming from GPU 😛 http://vocaroo.com/i/s1A5XmOWfVa8
This is right next to the PSU with side panel open. Then I move away from the PSU, however honestly this recording does not do it justice, it is WAY louder than that when I sit down on my chair. Recorded with a phone so figures.
Specs =
