Buzzing PSU 750w Supernova G2

Guest

My PSU is the evga supernova G2 750w. I purchased it from a well known company in the UK called Scan and recently ive noticed this buzzing noise but this only happens after i play games on my pc for awhile such as mirrors edge catalyst H1Z1 even csgo. Ive read online that it is coil whine, which im not too sure whether or not it's a bad thing. The buzzing is not noticable when im playing so i don't mind it so far i just want to know whether or not it can damage my PC. Some people say it's okay and some say RMA? Opinions please, thanks in advance.

Sounds very much so like coil whine, it isn't harmful to anything other than being a little annoying. You can try to do an RMA but not all companies will accept it.

Hi guys, can you just confirm that this is indeed coil whine i took a video of it and again it only happens after extensive use of my computer :/. Thanks.

Also headphones would make it easier to hear.

Yes probably coil whine.
No it will not hurt your pc.
You could RMA if it is loud/annoying
Dubt if they will accept it tho..
Good luck!
