Shepard-Command Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Time for a new psu. My 650w silverstone psu has served me well on 2 systems for a total of 5 years. I have my eyes on an AX860(mostly because it's 80+ platinum) but before i buy it i need to know something.Is the coil whine still an issue? because i read many negative reviews and all of them were either DOA or coin whine related. As for my system i have an oced 3930k and an oced and overvolted gtx 680.Right now i don't need 860w but because i will keep this psu until the warranty runs out i want to be future proof. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees jonnyguru Posted May 12, 2014 Corsair Employees Share Posted May 12, 2014 A lot of Seasonic built units suffer coil whine. Magnetics vibrating at a particular frequency is typical. Whether or not that frequency is within the audible range is where the problem occurs. I believe the AX has been "fixed" for coil whine for quite some time, but if you want to be sure, I'd get an AXi instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
