Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 1, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 1, 2011 Can you test the PSU with a paper clip out of the case on another outlet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 1, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 1, 2011 Remove the PSU from the case and move it to another outlet in your house one that is grounded and connect a case fan and HDD then you can use a paper clip to turn it on and see if you still hear the sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryda Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Ive not changed with another outlet yet, but it makes a diffrent noise while gaming. A deeper much more clear noise. This noise have also started to come while not gaming aswell. I can be the outlet? It really draws some power so sometimes it even shuts the power for my room down completly :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pryda Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 How Big is the breaker for your room? I dont know:P How do I check? Also, its mounted from a extension into the outlet in the wall which aint grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryda Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ive tryed to use another outlet, but the noise is still there. The noise is very high toned, but gets deeper when playing games or other CPU demanding software. It easly obscures the chassie fans. EDIT: The room is 13 ampere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pryda Posted September 3, 2011 Author Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ive talked to some guys now. Since its a high frequent noise, they said it would probly be coil whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 6, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 6, 2011 I dont know:P How do I check? Also, its mounted from a extension into the outlet in the wall which aint grounded. For our PSU to work properly they have to use a Grounded outlet. And using an outlet that is not grounded can cause the "Coil Wine" that you hear along with many other anomalies. And I would look at the circuit breaker for your room that should be marked if they are 10 or 20 amps. if that outlet is shared with another outlet or the lights in your room it should be at least 20 Amps 10 Amps for the PSU by it self.

Im using a extender from the wall outlet which is grounded. Is that good enough? I cant see anywhere in the house where it says 10 or 20 amps. Only 13amp for my room, and the bath.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 6, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 6, 2011 That may not be enough I would have an electrician check the power for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
