EVGA 650W G1 Psu Very Loud

[Whitemk2]

Recently bought this power supply to finish off my build, I understand it is not the greatest, however it fit my needs/budget, and I had a very terrible 500w Zalman psu that I needed to replace. 
I installed the power supply no sweat, however when I turned on the system, the fan is incredibly loud, louder than when I have my 6 low end case fans running at 100% infact, and far louder than the cheap Zalman unit I was using.
It sounds as if the fan on the unit is running at 100%, when my system is drawing very little load gpu + cpu at idle. It doesn't sound like it wants to slow down at all. 

 

Is this normal? None of the reviews I read stated anything about fan noise being this excessive, and with various of power supplies I've owned, its definitely the loudest.
System Specs:
Ryzen 5 1600 @ stock speeds

Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4Gb @2400 (stock)

Asrock b350 Pro Atx Mobo

Gigabyte Gtx 1070

1 x SSD

1 x HDD

6 Generic Case fans controlled via molex fan hub

PSU: EVGA 650 G1 Fully Modular PSU.

No that DEFINITELY sounds not right.  My guess is you could send it back.  Other people probably have more experiences with psu's then i do tho so...

G1 has always been loud. And bad quality. Replace with G2/G3

[Billy_Mays]

Probably a faulty bearing see if you can RMA it any include a sound of it in action it will help

[MancorJ]

I've looked into this psu more and what I have read is it isn't silent but definitely not loud yours is most likely doa

[DocSwag]

G1 itself is just kind of loud, but that sounds louder than normal. I would rma it.

Here is two terrible videos where you can hear the psu, in all honesty I didnt even need to put my phone mic up against the power supply you could hear it over everything else. 
Note in the second video you can also hear an odd noise when the power supply seems to be spinning up the fan.

What power supply would you all recommend in the region of ~80 USD? I pretty much need to buy off amazon as I live outside of the states and they're the only retailer who cheaply ships to me in New Zealand

EVGA G2/3 550w are both $80 and great quality, try those.

Will 550w give me plenty of headroom? I plan on watercooling my Ryzen 5 1600 and OC'ing both it and my GPU

it should be good enough, the 1070 doesn't eat alot of power.

Perfect, will sort out RMA'ing this one, and purchase one of the above. 
They look pretty much the same, with the G2 being slightly longer but with a bigger fan. May aswell go for that one?

Since you are buying a new PSU because of noisy unit, get the G2 as it is quieter. The G3 has a bit more aggressive fan profile.

Have eyed up the the G2 Yes! looks good. Have sorted out a return with amazon so will wait and see how I get on.

Ordered the G2 today as the G3 is only available at the same price via prime. Thanks for the advice + help @herman mcpootis @JDE
