[SOLVED] Weird noise coming from psu

[Parv patel]

Hi. I have an evga 650 BQ 80 plus bronze psu and I I bought it new less than a month ago. I am getting this weird noise and found that it is coming from my psu. If anyone know why this is happening. Please let me know. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i_xtYrbsvF1hWgE-sR-UQ5faGO50cw0Z/view?usp=drivesdk
Here is the audio for it.

That's just coil whine. It means cheaper components are used inside the psu. It's not worrisome under load. What are your other components?

Welp. Looks like you've cheaped out on the PSU. With that setup I would recommend a much higher end PSU. Because that PSU is something you should use with a 1660 ti or 2060 not a 2080 Super and 3700X. If you can return it, do that and get a better PSU - something like a Corsair Rm650x. Your PSU won't explode or anything, it's just the noise that will probably become an annoyance. I have a 3600+ 2070S. Had a CX650M Heard this same noise, piercing through even my headphones. Returned psu. Bought RM650. Can't even hear it

Ok. I should be able to return it. I'll try to get something 80 plus gold

Don't go by the gold rating. Go by this

If you really want to cheap out on the PSU, the lowest I would go is the non modular gray label Corsair CX650. (semi modular is worse quality)

Can you recommend any for around $100. I dont want to spend too much more than my current one.

Occasionally you can find an RM650 or rm650x around $110. The tx650m is good too. I do not have knowledge about others cause they don't sell where I live

Buy an RM650. The Antec one yoi mentioned isn't that great I think.

Oh, my bad! I thought the Pro and regular earthwatts were different lol. Either way it just means the components are cheaper. It doesn't necessarily mean it's gonna cause any problems really. My friend has the guts to run a 3600+2060 Super off an Antec VP550P. God bless his confidence


Either way, I did get no coil whine with RM650 vs CX650M where the coil whine was super loud, louder than the fans in the case and gpu.
