Does a squealing PSU count as "faulty"?

[Engram]

I'm building my new gaming PC (on the bench) and the XFX Pro 650W PSU is making a fairly loud (and very irritating) squeal. It's the classic transformer squeal sound, it's not coming from the fan.

Would this count as faulty?

Hmmm.. I didn't think it was THAT bad!

Also, the fan seems to be blowing air out of the fan, rather than out of the rear of the PSU (as you normally see). Is that an XFX "feature", or has someone installed the fan round the wrong way?!

I doubt anyone cares... but I sent it back to OcUK and they confirmed the fault and agreed to replace it.

Unfortunately they're now out of stock!
