Xfx ts 430w problem!!

Hello I just bought a new pc:

msi z87i gaming ac
i5 4460
8gb hyperx savage 2400mhz
sandisk SSD ultra II 120gb
thermaltake core v1
XFX core TS 430W


Now I have a big problem. After a few hours of running it there is a loud noise coming from my PSU. You can hear it here http://picosong.com/LYWL/
I did read some about coil whine BUT after 30-60sec my pc restarts then restarts again after few secs and again and again, so I have to turn it off. After a few hours I can turn it on and use it for some time. My best result was like 20h without problem and niose came back with restart ofc.
I dont have dedicated graphic card so there is a lot of power to spare. PSU has 5y warranty and I didn't find anyone with problem like this (with this particular model). Am I so fcking unlucky??
After 3 days my SSD has 37 Unexpected Power Loss. I'm not turning it again.


I'm not sure what to do now. Should I change this PSU for same one or just pick another brand? It was perfect for my price range :/ I'm so sad.

Hello, It sounds like a severe case of coil whine. Have you tried swapping the power cables or surge protector connections? Coilwhine can be caused by nearly everything in the power cascase, try what you can, if nothing stands out as the culprit, RMA it and you shouldn't have any further issues.
 
Two problems here.

1. Coil whine... which shouldn't have an effect on PSU performance.

2. Defective PSU.
