Hey everyone

I have got a Corsair HX850 power supply which is making a weird-ish noise.
It's not the popular coil whine I think but it's still annoying.

Here are 2 noise samples (sorry about mic quality)
Sample 1
Sample 2

Here is a much better YT video of a different PSU model doing almost identical noise: here

Do you think it's a cause for RMA? :confused: I think it might be a capacitor...
An interesting thing is that if I plug this unit to a battery powered UPS, it makes a louder, more annoying version of that noise which is just the same as the one coming from the UPS when it's not plugged to mains.

Any suggestions welcome...
 
Yeah, it's gone now. I RMA'd it already.

I just wanted people's opinions so I know I'm doing the right thing...

Well, hope the new one is better (just worry it might have other faults)...
