Hey all, I've just got one of these: Hiper HPU-4M670 Type R 670W ATX2.2.
Loads of cables etc which is good, but I have one criticism: the electrical style crackling noise!
At first I thought it was a fan snagging on a cable (new build), but on closer inspection it sounds exactly like the noise your PC power socket would make if you unpluged the 3pin power lead, (with current flowing, PC off) then plugged it back in slowly so the contacts were not firmly seated.
Since building the machine yesterday - installing windows etc, for over 5 hours it was crackling away happily to itself and only for about 10 minutes did the suspicious 'noise' cease.
Suggestion please. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just 'running in' or should I send it back to the supplyer on the grounds that somewhere it's duff inside or it wouldn't be making any noise whatsoever.
It all seems to work, except for the noise...
