Just built my rig and psu makes buzzing sound?

[xmodex]

I have evga 850w and when i turn on my pc it makes slight zapping or buzzing noise its constant and not very noticable, but when i use my pc in a silent room it can get irritating, are all psus like this or should i get it replaced, got 10 years warranty on it appearantly xD.

 

Its very noise is very slight but its there like electricity flowing through it, is it normal?

Sounds like Coil whine. Normal (Well sort of), but annoying

The fan is not actually spinning, nothing is spinning just when browsing the web or doing something in silence, i can hear it and it get irritating

I got evga supernova 850w, on the box it says 'silent series' lols, the fan doesnt start to spin till it get 50c or over something like that, i can never hear the fan its all great, but the electricity sound is bugging me a bit, its more noticeble when surfing the web.

 

I just tested a game on max settings to draw more power from psu, the electricity sound changed and it was less noticable.

 

Basically its annoying only when surfing the web ect. coz in silent condition its the loudest thing in the room and a bit annoying  idk if they're all like this or this particular one i got is this way.

If it bothers you that much, then send it back for replacement. 

 

The longer you keep the power supply unit, the less likely the manufacturer will be willing to replace it.

Hmm but issit normal or not normal is what im trying to find out first  : d, its not that big of a deal but yea its kinda annoying, i only had the pc for roughly a week but just noticed it today, thought it was fans or something lols, but its actually electricity sound from psu. 

 

Idk its not that big of a deal, but if i could get a complete silent one would be great

What is the brand and model number of this power supply unit? What is the maximum wattage output?

Ok, according to this: List Of Power Supply Units by Tier Levels, that PSU is supposed to be a good one.

 

I have a feeling that the one you have may be defective. I would highly recommend you contact EVGA's customer support and get a replacement ASAP.

It shouldn't be buzzing like that, though. 

 

The only thing you should (or should not) hear is the PSU fan spinning. Anything else is cause for concern. 

 

I am sure that EVGA customer support can verify if this is an issue or not.
