Bad Coil Whine or just a dieing PSU?

Go to solution Solved by W-L,

When my power supply is at load, i hear this fain buzzing noise. I assume its coil whine, but i have never heard coil whine in person before so i want to be sure with people if its dieing or its a natural coil whine. its pretty dang loud also....when im trying to build a silent PC

 

Here is the Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-37rZLXZGE&feature=youtu.be-

 

 

Oh yeah i forgot, it a Corsair HX1050.

 

Sounds like coil wine to me, it might go away or come back sometimes.

 

Recently my AX760 started to have a buzz type coil wine but will go away sometimes also unfortunately nothing that can really be done.

Thanks for replying back, its such a bummer about that, its really noisy when i try to play, ill deal with it and try to block it out. for now, ill save up to buy another power supply....probably a smaller wattage, my kill-a-watt is only showing 550w, at full load with my setup. probably a 750w would be best for me.
