High frequency noise from PSU

z0mbi3 · 10 Jan 2008 at 17:48

I'm getting this high frequency noise coming from my PSU (at least i think it's my PSU) occasionally. I think it's a leaky capacitor. Anyway aside from replacing the psu (or the capacitor for that matter) is there anything I can do about it?

Probably the coils (chokes) singing. This isn't unusual unless it is particularly loud then it maybe a cause for concern.

Antec True Power 650 watt should still be under warranty if I wanted to get it replaced.

I only noticed it doing it last night. If I leave the PSU discharge it seems to go away. I wouldn't say it was loud enough to make me worry,but it is loud enough to annoy me.
