[SOLVED] Noise coming from PSU, is this coil whine?

[meyvinc]

I have noticed this weird sound coming from my PSU whenever I scroll through my assets in cities skylines:

Should I be worried and try to replace the PSU ASAP?

My specs are:
Ryzen 3600 (no OC)
MSI Ventus 3X RTX 3070 (with 64% power limit activated on MSI Afterburner)
Seasonic M12ii 620W
MSI B550 A-Pro

sounds like fan

Replace the PSU anyway. M12II 620w has a very outdated internal design that struggles with the powerspikes of every recent GPU actually struggles with every system since 2013 when C6/C7 powerstates where introduced because it don't meet ATX2.4 spec.

Whoa.. You're using an M12II with a Ampere card?

 

[meyvinc]

Contacted seasonic, they told me to either rma if under warranty or replace it

Gotta second the others here. It's about as good a PSU as can be found using the archaic design, but it is an archaic design. Running a 1050 Ti? Sure. Running a GPU that currently requires $1500 to obtain? Not in this lifetime, not in the next.

Is this a decent replacement?

A GPU like this shouldn't involve anything that's not top-tier.

These are my only options based on availability in my country (from least expensive to most expensive):

The corsair and thermaltake is almost the same price. The inwin is around 30 bucks more expensive.

Seems like the it's grey version for the Corsair RM 650 which is a tier A unit so I'm gonna go for that one

 

[meyvinc]

Final Update: Replaced it with the Corsair RM 650, the noise is gone completely now.

I agree, different hardware like Ampere will cause issues with incompatible PSUs.
