Hi all, I've recently been silencing my setup and found out finally that the cause of a really quiet mosquito like buzzing/whittling type of sound was actually Coil Whine from the PSU. So I'm wondering what the latest info on getting a suitable PSU (of at least 650W) that is least likely to have any Coil Whine with it? Any manufacturers to avoid? etc
The current PSU is a: Corsair HX650 Bronze (first version)
The system that I'm using it in will be:
Asus Rampage IV Extreme (Original)
4930k @ 4.3Ghz (1.28v load)
64GB DDR3 RAM
2x SSD (SATA)
Powercolor RX580 Red Devil (8 pin + 6 pin required)
7 PWM fans attached to motherboard
6 USB devices (mouse, keyboard, webcam, controller, tablet and hub)
So what I'm after is:
At least 650W
Needs 8 + 8 pin PCIe (or 6+2, 6+2)
Modular
Zero or silent fan options
And most importantly; the least (near inaudible) or no coil whine from the PSU or towards a GPU.
I understand that each PSU reacts differently to different setups, so you can't guarantee everything. But as above, is there particular PSU makers I should avoid? (Higher than normal chance of Coil Whine?)
Unfortunately I can't unhear the Coil Whine from my PSU anymore now I've found it's coming from there, especially now I've silenced the rest of the system so much.
Any advice (or suggested PSU replacements) appreciated.
