I have a Corsair 1000 HX platinum , currently supplying power to 5800x3D CPU coupled with 4090 FE card on a x570 Gigabyte MB. I use a corsair 600W power cable for the GPU , not the 4 different cables. When computer is on, there are no issues, no sudden resets, games runs flawlessly , and I can see the GPU draws around 400W when is used 100% (not very often as is GPU bottlenecked in some scenes but that is another issue)

When the computer is turned off there is a very high pitch noise coming from the power supply area - like tinnitus if someone had it - initially made me think I got it , but when I turn the power supply off from the back switch , the noise disappears. I only hear it when the computer is off - but still connected to power and the power supply is switch on - not when the computer is on - but that may be it is drowned by other noised from fans ..etc

Do I need to worry? Do I need a new power supply ?

hi mikyflinn- PSU is only 2 years old.
I have edited initial text, I use a 600W corsair power cable for the 4090 (bought from OC'er and I checked on Corsair site , it says it's compatible with the power source )- sorry for the ambiguous text
