Quboid Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I've made a new build which includes a Corsair HX1000 PSU. This PSU is emitting a high pitched noise, which I gather is called "coil whine". When idling or during light usage like writing this, there is a faint high-pitched sound. Under full load (gaming, benchmarking, etc) the sound is very distinct, so much so that I can hear it in other rooms. Is there a solution to this other than returning the unit? This video demonstrates the sound so well, I initially struggled to determine if the sound was from the video or my computer (turns out: both!): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 I got another HX1000 and I have exactly the same problem! I tried the PSUs out of the case to make absolutely sure that is where the sound is coming from. The new unit has a very similar serial number, could this indicate a bad batch?
