How do I tame this noisy powersupply please?
I have a shuttle sb95p which comes with a 350W supposedly silent X power supply. The noise this thing is making is really distracting. It sounds like a hum but it comes in waves from a low hum to a high hum repeated every 3 seconds. UGH its sooooooo annoying! If it was a constant hum I probably wouldnt mind. But its the up and down of it thats really irritating and Id love to do something about it.
Now its getting to the point where I'd really like to do something about this - as its very distracting. When I plug in my external USB hard drive which has its own power supply, the noise is deafening. All I can think of is that the external hd is somehow acting as an amplifier for the shuttle power supply.
When I disconnect all the USB devices from the back of the pc - it makes no difference to the Humming.
2 x sata 250 maxtor HD's in raid 0
p4 3.4Ghz
x800 xt radeon g/x card
1 gb crucial ram 2 x 512 ddr2
Any ideas?
thanks
