After upgrading my gfx card recently I am now suffering with coil whine from
My Antec Truepower 750w. As well as the noise I also suffer with the card almost stalling when I move the mouse too quickly in game which also gives a change in pitch to the coil whine.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement? I was thinking of the EVGA 850w P2 or something similar.

Thanks in advance

Thnx Lee

Would the platinum version be any more robust, durable or quieter? I don't mind spending the bit extra.

I have just been looking at the super flower 850w platinum and I am tempted to buy that.

Not keen on paying £10.50 postage though lol
 
I have no idea how much power I need to be honest. At the moment it seems at times that my card can't grab enough power to do what it needs on screen but I have had 3 different cards and it's done the same with all three.
 
I'm more confused than when I started lol

Guessing I can't go wrong with either the EVGA or the Superflower units. The deciding factor will be whether I fancy the drive to OcuK or Bolton tomorrow morning.
 
Update

After all the helpful advice I went for the EVGA 750w G2 and after installing it this afternoon my PC is back to being whisper quiet. I have to say it's a great bit of kit for the money and far better than my Antec Truepower. I probably would have gone for Super Flower if OcuK had been a bit closer but my local retailer doesn't stock Super Flower.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to read the thread and offer advice.

Keep up the good work <3
 
I played WoW last night and the coil whine has gone and also the stuttering frame rate from moving the mouse has gone too. I have the PSU in Eco mode and I am very happy with it.

Thanks again
