Hey guys, I've bought a brand new PC about a month ago. I only noticed now that PSU produces sound that is kinda in cycles. I don't know how to describe it better because i can't really record it since it's not that loud. The sound is ''loud'' then it's ''low'' and it goes and goes in cycles. The time between cycles is half a second or so. Sound doesn't intensify under heavy load. Could it be that the sound is caused by vibrations and nothing else since everything is brand new.

Also, can you please decypher this stat from OpenHardwareMonitor since i don't know what this temperature represents.

The sound as described could be coil whine, EM related or maybe fan, is hard to tell. Comes to is it bothering you enough, if so can you talk to the vendor about replacing it or even rma, but could wel be that another unit from the same model from FSP will do the same.

Don't know about that temp, is not really in any danger zone so woudn't worry too m uch about it. Myself i use hwinfo for sensor readings, think it's the better tool,

download hwinfo64,
install and open it,
check "sensors-only",
click "run".
don't run both tools at the same time.
