Good day everyone!
I need your help.
My PSU is making weird noise only under heavy loads - when gpu wattage is up to 300w.
It is like that from the day I bought it.
I recorded it: Video (google disk)
Is that coil whine? Or should I swap it asap?
Everything works good, voltage is normal and doesn’t drop. System is stable. But the noise....
PSU - Chieftec Polaris 850w

Your psu is the last thing you want making noises. I would rma it if you can, or replace it with a known quality psu.
Everyone saying that coil whine is harmless (if it is a coil whine, that's what I'm actually asking)
Anyway, buying a new one is is what I'm thinking about now. I'm planning to get ASUS Rog Strix 1000w. Might be too much for my system running single 3070ti though.. but at this point I don't really care.
