Im getting coil whine with my 970 on a bronze rated Psu so im hoping getting a gold rated one will solve the issue if not I guess ill have to return my card.

Spec:
4690K @ stock (will overclock once I get a new psu)
Gigabyte z97-mx gaming
Kfa2 infin8 black edition 970
Corsair H100i
8gb hyperX savage
2x 120mm led fans
2x 80mm fans

It has 426w on the 12v rail so is more than enough power. It's just not a particularly good unit. Around that price is the far better Superflower Golden Green HX450 which has 444w on the 12v rail or for a little more the Antec Truepower Classic 550w which is a Seasonic built unit with 540w on the 12v rail. The only problem is that neither of them are modular.

Have you had a read of the coil whine sticky at the top of this section of the forum?

Im not to fussed about modular as ive got a corsair Air 240 so psu is stuffed in the back and I missed that sticky will give it a read now

I'd definitely go with the SuperFlower or Antec unit over the Corsair personally.

ValiantUK91 · 29 Mar 2015 at 17:53

Yeah if 450w is enough for my needs ill go with the superflower unit

Went for the antec one in the end as its only a extra fiver over the superflower one and I get a few more watts
