  1. I had this exact same problem with a RM1000X. It was so loud I could hear it across the house. Ended up RMAing the unit to the place I bought it from, and they almost immediately refunded without question. Makes me wonder how many of these they've had. Edit: If you happen to have a spare PC or spare parts, check if it still makes the noise. (Mine did). Then it may be best to RMA the unit?
  2. Update: RMAing the PSU as the noise simply doesnt stop short of turning my PC off. Will hopefully get a replacement that doesn't sound as horrible. For now, I'll have to drop back to my CX750M and drop my GPU overclock to remain stable. Old reliable.
  3. I have 4 sticks, and only my right most stick will drop out of sync when the PC is in "sleep" or iCUE fully closed. Snaps straight back once iCUE runs again.
  4. I will give it a shot on battery only tomorrow. I'll pull the mains and then boot her up on UPS battery to see if it's mains related. This would be the first time my mains power has caused coil buzzing and whine however. But I guess there's a first for everything. I'll remove everything except the core components from the system too, and see if that changes anything.
  5. Hi all, I've just purchased a RM1000X after my previous Corsair CX750M seemed to cause system to power cycle under peak loads when over-clocking. The RM1000X has completely resolved this issue, however this PSU has possibly the worlds loudest coil whine / buzzing. This occurs when both on normal grid power, and when connected to a pure sine wave generating UPS. Under heavy loads such as games, this coil whine and buzzing can be so loud that it's audible anywhere in the house, and most definitely over the audio from my games while wearing headphones. Is there anything that can resolve this? This never occurred on the previous 750W or any other PSU that has, or is running. Unfortunately its literally driving me up the wall and making me dread using my PC currently. It's the only Corsair product that I have problems with. Keyboard, mouse, RAM, cooler, fans, case, etc... all excellent. See video / audio here: - (Video taken while idle on desktop, and connected to pure sine wave UPS) [ame] [/ame] EDIT: Its the RM1000X - my apologies. Confused myself with the naming schemes. Unfortunately unable to edit title.
