wierd psu problem....

so i got a antec platinum 1300w.

a cool psu in my eyes and i do like it allot.

but i noticed lately it make HEAVY noises.

like ticking noises. its not super loud but u can stand like a meter away from it and hear it in the background....

 

at the start i was thinking must be the fan so i stopped it with a plastic pen and...no still lots of noise.

so i sent it to warranty.

it was sent back and i was told it was "fixed" but the dam thing just does the same bloody noise ANYWAYS.....

 

am i just crasy?

its my first big psu with my last 1 being a 750w.

is it normal for big psu's or is antec warranty just shit?....

You sure it's the PSU doing it and not something else like a case fan or your CPU cooler?

I would check that and stop all your fans if you can including video card.  Let us make sure its your PSU.  Just put your ear on the PSU and you will know if its from PSU or not.

ok just for shit and giggles i wanted to see not if its the fans but if its maybe something in 1 of my components that does it.

 

so i unplugged everything but the mobo so i can turn it on.

still noisy as ever. so yep. its without a question the psu.

 

im vary disapointed in them right now...how can u send back to a coustomer a psu that sounds like this....
