Hey guys! I know anything can have transistor/coil related whines, especially under load. But, I just installed this PSU and the amount of noise it's making even at idle is pretty annoying. :( Any suggestions?

Edit: So having switched it back off, the whine is even louder once the power is off, as it discharges. Strange one though, just as the sound goes (after about a minute and a half of being unplugged), the power switch light on the front of the case flashes twice, even when the kettle lead is unplugged. Never seen any PSU do that before, even when it's discharging the capacitor.

Do you think it'll probably go away over time? Maybe it's just in my head but it seems ever so slightly less whiny each time I switch it on. :rolleyes:
