 Hey had a quick question, is it normal for my 850 W PSU  super nova G3 by EVGA To be very loud?

As soon as the fan starts, yes, pretty much.

Wich is why there are people here flaming that unit.

I have a Leadex II and I was really disapointed with the Noise, especially since people are hyping it to be quiet. 

My 650/750W was not..

oh, very in-depth title

 

now the serious stuff

 

the EVGA G3 PSUs are known to be loud

 

as for the humming and buzzing noises they aren't normal AFAIK

 

I'd return it a get a different PSU because a) you probably don't need 850W and b) there are better PSUs for the price most of the time

 i thought it was normall for PSUs to make humming sounds and fan noise. the 12 v is stable and it does it only under load

there are dead silent PSUs so it really isn't normal.

yes,  both mostly the protection features

 

thankfully, it won't affect most users
