VX450w Noise! Is it a problem in power supply???

Hello, first time, I'm brazilian and my English is bad, but I go to try to say what happens with my excellent power supply.

 

I buy this power supply a 1 week ago, and when i go turn on for a first time in the day, it makes a high noise. It seems that the Cooler is released, but that only happens in 10 to 20 seconds ...

And this is only the first time a day, one day to another. is turn off and then turn on again, the noise is not true.

 

What happens with my power supply, i don't see any problem in voltages, and don't have some noise during it work, after the 10 to 20 seconds!!!

 

 

i'm waiting a response. Very thank's for all, and one more time, so sorry for bad english!

The noise would not indicate a problem with the power supply, and can can be caused by any number of things. If it is bothersome enough that you can over hear it while you are using the system, then we can try replacing it for you, however it sounds like you only hear it for about 20 seconds or so when you initially boot the system. If thats the case, then it is probably not worth sending the unit to us for a replacement. If it gets worse or you have any problems then we can definitely replace it for you.

I found the problem. I found a little piece of acrylic loose inside the source that pegava in cooler. I could withdraw it without opening the source. Apparently it is a fine acrylic that protects a coil which is next to a large capacitor blue.

Do you think I have a problem?

I see the acrilic between a CI and a Big Coil!I think that's to protect the CI.

 

Then I have to trade the power supply with the Seller??Or I can leave it without this acrilic???

If there was a loose piece inside of the PSU then I would suggest replacing it just to be on the safe side. You can use the On Line RMA Request Form and we will be happy to replace it. Be sure to check the box that says “I've already spoken to Technical Support and/or RAM Guy.”

 

If you have any questions regarding the RMA or the RMA process, please contact our customer service at 888-222-4346 and dial "0", (510) 657-8747 or email rmaservice@corsairmemory.com.
