I have a nasty problem, i recently build a half decent pc suitable for gaming just not on ultra but i have left my old psu which failed and opened a can of pandora and <Mod Edit> but to the point. Half year ago when my old Chieftec died i bought SilentiumPC Vero L3 (they are named Endorfy now) which failed left me with no electricity and burnt smell in house but nothing failed thankfully. They replaced it with Chieftec TPS 700S (i wanted that <removed> Chieftec branded psu because of good previous one). I'm furious at myself for that , because it makes some strange electrical noises randomly (they are hard to record but hearable) it is like buzzing like a transformer or something. Today i brought my pc from service , they say everything is fine with it and i cannot RMA it.What should i do with it? Learn to live with it or just trash that damn psu if they don't want to RMA it and buy something decent? Help me please cause it is so infuriating this situation. I also remember Vero L3 making that same noise before it failed too. Maybe it is another problem and not the psu ?

All right , all right i get it
This wasn't directed at you per se, but to everybody who happen to read this topic. Also, i spoke generally, rather than pointing my finger at someone.

will get that Seasonic as soon as i can , i'am asking again because i don't want to replace junk with another junk.

Like i said earlier:
Focus GM - Tier A
Core GM - Tier B
G12 GM - Tier B low priority. <- Seasonic B12 is equal in quality to G12.

Ideally, Seasonic Focus or Corsair RMi/RMx would be best. Or:

Seasonic Core is lesser than Seasonic Focus, but still good enough. Seasonic B12 and G12 are somewhere between mediocre and good quality.
