PSU noise?

weehamish · 31 Jan 2013 at 01:44

My Corsair Builder Series CX 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply keeps making a weird static electric buzzing, it will stop then come on again every so often!

Ive never had this issue with any PSU before and its really annoying me, could it be faulty?

Everything is getting enough juice to work properly but i dont like this noise.

I would RMA.

It seems lots of folk are having problems with Corsair PSUs of late. Perhaps it's down to them being so popular but I would think twice about buying Corsair at the moment.

Honestly could be a dodgy kettle connector causing it to vibrate and move a little. When I plug in my lead to the back of my PSU it sometimes makes crackling noises, no idea why as it is a decent PSU.
