I am stumped on this one guys, and I hope you all can help me. I've just got done building an entirely new PC and I've had a bad issue with power supplies. The computer itself is working absolutely perfect. Temps seems great, voltages in BIOS seem accurate, speed is amazing. So you may ask, what's the issue? Well I am getting coil whine from the PSU, and even worse when under load it goes to more of a grinding or clicking sound. I want to emphasize this is not a fan, I have checked every mechanical piece in my system. The coil whine I can get over, but the clicking makes me feel as if there is an underlining electrical issue such as a capacitor. But here is where it gets confusing. I have tried 3 separate power supplies, all of which had plenty of wattage but pertained to a bronze series. I understand the bronze series PSU is honestly crap especially for what I am running, but to have 3 separate power supplies do this has me questioning if they are the issue. The 3 power supplies I have tried are Corsair CX750M, Corsair CX850M, and the Thermaltake SMART 650W. I plan to move to an EVGA Supernova 850w later in the month, but I need to figure out what is the issue here. Thanks for any feedback, I need some big out of the box thinking here and I appreciate your time to read through this.
