PSU with Coil Whine?

[Hugo_4]

Hi guys, since a week ago my PSU started doing this weird noise : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhNBfyTqdGo , thats getting worse.. I'm afraid that it can break something, the PSU is new, have one month +/- and its a XFX 650W 80Plus. I need help guys, i cant buy a new one now, thats in RMA but i need the computer. Help me bros :C

I must be deaf, I couldn't hear any coil whine. Maybe a fan making a clicking noise I could hear.

It sounds like a bad fan bearing , RMA it.

Not coil whine , if nothing is touching the fan , it's a bad bearing.

Lemme ask you just a little thing, if its the fan, thats dangerous? or i can have it like that for a few months?

It may or may not get worse , I wouldn't risk it.

The thing is, if i get it to repair i'll be without PC for a while, and i really need it! Whats the worse that can happen

The fan may quit , overheat and shutdown , or the noise may or may not get worse.

Choice is yours.

One guy in another forum said me that it happened to him when he bought the computer and then it got fine after a while, can it happen? :/

Sometimes it can go away , but it's rare , give it a go for a week or so , if it doesn't go away you need to RMA it.
