I just built my PC and now there seems to be a whine coiling problem. The sound stays stagnant throughout my use and it starts once I power my PC on. It doesn't seem to come from my GPU, storage devices, or any of the fans. The only part I suspect is the PSU (Seasonic Focus G 550w 80+ gold). Should I replace it? Is there another part I should look out for? Is it just a vibrating screw?

@LukeSavenije you should know if that PSU should wine or not

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

I've used the paper-clip method and the PSU is silent besides the fan. Can it be another component causing the coil whine?

many, but coil whine normally only really hapens under a higher load...
