Sure, should have mentioned! At the moment it's powering a heavily OC'd 2080 ti, 9900k at 5.2Ghz on all cores, 7x 120mm fans, aquaero controller hub, D5 pump, beefy sound card (Asus Xonar STX II with after market op-amps) and several SSD's. I'm upgrading to a 3090 Strix OC if it ever arrives which will also go under the custom water cooling loop. I'll be OC'ing that card too as best I can and with the higher power limits available on the card, I'd rather have the headroom on the PSU. Sure, I could get away with the 850 but honestly, I'd rather have room to spare and confidence the PSU is up to the task considering the PSU right now is a fair bit old.
Yah! I mean, it's already up there, but the upgrade to the 3090 will be the icing on the cake. I'm also toying with changing my loop to a dual loop build... So even more reason for a beefier PSU. Speaking of, I think the AX1000 needs to be ordered in, no one seems to have it in stock anywhere.
Welp, I settled for a Corsair HX1000, and to be honest, it's bloody coil whine is terrible. Even on the desktop it's beyond noisy, I threw in my 850 again to test and yep, the new PSU is just terrible.
I've opened a support ticket to hopefully send it back and look into alternatives.

Almost every time i seen a post about coil whine it been a Corsair PSU
Don't know if this is mainly due to most people buy Corsair PSU's (Even the PC am writing this on is using one)
Aye, time to move away from the brand I think and try something else.
