peanutz94 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It's called "coil whine" and while not dangerous to your PSU or system it's not uncommon for any PSU to emit coil whine while under heavy GPU loads. You might even want to see if the sound is coming from your GPU. They will do the same thing sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldudesubho Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 That sound hardly annoys me.So should i stop worrying?And what is the safe voltage range of +12v rail?Mine goes from 12 to 12.096 min to max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah, you can stop worrying. It's not going to damage anything. Your volatge is well withing spec. nearly perfect. They have a +/-5% tolerance either up or down for all three rails. For Ex 12v is safe from 11.4-12.6 5v rail is 4.75v to 5.25v 3.3v rail would be 3.135v to 3.465v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
