750w antec psu noise

[lilvaratep]

Thought it was my gpu fan being loose as that is how it sounds. Turns out the sound is coming from my antec psu. Now that i can pinpoint the location, it sounds like a sort of lowmedium-pitched electric shocks. Is this sound normal? Its been in use for about 14 days nd i just noticed it. Should i be worried?

It's probably coil whine and shouldn't affect the performance of the unit. If it annoys you a lot, you can try to RMA it. Btw, 14 days is usually the limit for returning a product hassle-free to wherever you bought it from.

Which Antec 750W is it? Earthwatts Green, Truepower New, HCG or HCP?

Earthwatts green i believe. Ea-750 green. If its normal and wont fail or get worse im fine with it

I'd contact Antec about it to be sure, they'll tell you if it's cause for worry

Here's what the psu sounds like:

Except mine isn't that severe, and it doesn't have high-pitched noises, only rattling-like noises from 1sec-20seconds in video. Again, it's not as severe as this guy's.

Antec's customer support takes so long I was stuck 3rd in queue for an hour and I gave up.
