I got my OCZ Powersteam 520w two days ago.

When i run prime 95 torture test , there is an realy annoying electric blip, blip sound coming from the PSU. Mainly in the In-place large FFTs test, but also in the blend test.
I get the same noise, much lower though when i use the "Mouse-wheel" or what its called.

Anyone with a 520 Powerstream & Prime95 that get this noise ?

I seriously doubt the noise is comming from the power supply, it's most likely EMI getting to the speakers. It could of course be EMI getting to the system speaker as well.

That's really odd, I can't think of any reason the PSU would make noises in relation to the mouse or a program!

I wonder if it is some wiring problem or possibly the mobo or device failing and sending noise through to the PSU...Weird...
