Hey guys.
So maybe about a couple of weeks ago, I bought the Seasonic X-650 as a combo deal with the Lian Li A05NB. From what it seems after isolating each part in my case (it wasn't any of the fans or 5850 fan), I concluded the noise was coming from the PSU. I don't really know much about coil whine or anything but I guess its the noise when the fan is starting to spin up. It's loud enough that I can hear the noise from at least 5 feet away; In fact, just as I was walking back from the bathroom, I could hear it which is at least 15 feet away. It only happens at idle loads. Hmm it happens pretty often which is kind of annoying. At one point while it was happening and I squeezed both sides of the case together around the area where the PSU is situated, the noise disappeared. I know coil whine isn't a big deal but do you think I should RMA it? Thanks.

Hm re-installed the PSU and the noise seems to be gone for now. Maybe it just needed to be re-adjusted properly.
