Fellas,

 

just built new pc.  I've noticed a super annoying sort of buzz noise with my psu.  For example every time i open a file or click a link theres a faint buzz noise, almost like something is caught in the fan but there isn't..  is this normal?  this is a corsair CX600M modular PSU, 600 watts. 

 

i5 4690k 

EVGA GTX 960

8GB vengeance 1866mhz

gigabyte z97mx 

samsung SSD

600w psu 

windows 7

 

- This was a pretty expensive psu made by corsair.. i wouldn't think it would make noticeably annoying sounds.  Especially when it claims to be silent...

 

Should i take it back or what, anyone else experienced this?

A sound clip would be helpful. Not to mention that this problem is already being covered in your gtx 960 thread.

Could it be coil whine?

It is quite possible to be coil wine yes

Put it under near full load and the coil whine should go away, or at the very least become quieter. I've had similar issues with my CX850M.

I had similar problems with my CX600M - it may be expensive but far from premium :(

I RMA'd it, now knowing a little more about PSUs greatly regretting my purchase of this

If you can get a full refund and get something better I'd do that (a better one will probably be the same price anyway) or at the least get a replacement
