I got this CORSAIR Professional Series HX1050 1050W PSU, to power up my new rig.. basically Intel 3770k IVY with dual GTX 670 sli.
Whenever my computer is under heavy GPU load, the PSU starts doing some weird sound. And it's really just under HEAVY GPU load.
Video convertion / Prime 95= no sounds.
Normal games like Diablo3 = no sound.
Uningine and 3Dmark and such = huge sounds...
I was convinced the sound came from my video card (since the sound appears when I use the GPUs intensively) But no, it's really coming from the PSU unit, I guess they video cards must be draining extra wattage under heavy load which explain the link.
So, have you guys heard that before?
I guess I'll have to RMA now... 2-3hours worth of cable management to the trash

edit: solution.. I found out this is coil whine, and that we can't do much about it..
