Noisy PSU.

[Emjay86]

Hey guys,

Im a little concerned/curious here.

I bought a new rig from OCUK a few months back and pretty much since ive had it ive noticed the PSU has been a bit noisy at times.

Generally what happens is whenever anything stressful for the PC such as loading games or similar happens I get a screeching sounds from the PSU.

While I probably should have contact OCUK about this straight away I figured it wasn't doing any harm and as I wear headphones I won't hear it anyway.

Im just a little curious as to whether this may indicate something or if its just a case of me having a noisy one.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

What is your system specs?

Daft question, you sure its the PSU and not the gpu, as my gpu likes to herd during curtain games and when folding.
