Attention Seasonic M12II PSU owners - quick question

[PCJake]

I've been looking for the perfect PSU for my build, and I'm currently looking at a Seasonic M12II 650W PSU. The reviews on Newegg are mostly positive, but some are complaining about a high pitched coil whine. Any input here from owners would be awesome.

P.S. It's officially compatible with Haswell CPUs.

Since you already have a thread for your build, you can use that for all the questions regarding what components to get

It's kind of common issue (comparing high-pitched noise to any other defects) with many new PSUs, not just Seasonic. go for it I'd say, chances you'll get faulty unit are low

and dont read newegg reviews

I had the previous revision M12II 620 and it was fine. There's always a risk with any part that you're going to get coil whine--motherboards, GPUs, PSUs especially--and it varies from one sample to the next within the same product.

Also, some people are more sensitive to electrical noise than others. If you've never really been bothered by it, you might not even notice.
