Hello i have a problem with strange sounds coming from my RM850i -
My spec is:
5900x
MSI x570 Ace (i have latest bios)
rtx 3080
G.Skilll trident cl16 3600.

When I'm especialy in web browser or doing some other low wat usage i have sounds like this: recorded sample from my computer on YT


When i use more wats - noise is little bit quieter but dont stop at all.
Whole setup has no problem with stress tests (even few hours of it). I had to turn off global c-state control in bios. Cause my system had WHEA errors (bluescreens) - but i read that's a problem of AMD cpu's. With c-state off everything is working stable, but i hear this noises (without c-state on it is also been noising).
It is realy annoying - what is this and can i do something to stop it or RMA ?

Could be coil whine... If it bothers you and you think its about to explode contactCorsair and send it back.

Is this a new unit, or an old one that suddenly starting doing this? As others have said, it could be coil whine, but if you're not comfortable with it then send it back. At the very least it's annoying and not something you should have to deal with at this price point.
