Corsair HX620 High Pitched Whine

Recommended Posts

Hello.

 

I bought a HX620 power supply, and while its really quiet it makes a high pitched electrical whine noise in certain situations which is really annoying.

 

Couple of examples.

 

- When viewing certain webpages, when you scroll the mouse it makes this sound.

 

- When playing a game. On the menu option screen (Half-Life 2 CS) it makes a constant high pitched sound.

 

- In Windows Vista when you select Windows Dreamscene as a background (moving image) it also makes the whine sound.

 

These just some of the examples, none of them should tax the PSU in any way.

 

I have checked all my cables and reseated the graphics card. The noise is definitely coming from the rear of the PSU, by the vent at the back.

 

I've tried a friend's Enermax 625w Modu+ PSU and it doesn't have the same problem.

 

I'm stuck at what could be causing this.

 

Thanks for any help.
