Hey,
I bought parts for a new PC two weeks ago. I have the Corsair HX 850 psu which is insane coil whine. Just from opening a browser you can sometimes hear it through my headphones but it's worst when benchmarking/gaming.
I contacted the retailer where I got it from and since it's within 30 days of purchase they gave me a returns number to drop it off at their store. But the problem is I need a working PC whilst this goes back to get tested etc. I did more research on the 850 hx and it seems a lot of people have coil whine so I'm afraid to even get a replacment of that specific model.
Should I go ahead and buy a RMX 750W Gold PSU and then take the 850 HX back for a refund (assuming coil whine is faulty).
If you was in this situation what would you do?
