Corsair power supply & EVGA video card squeal/whine

It's easy to fix, just put hot glue everywhere you think that might shake and put some "nail glos"" (dunno who to sait that on the cap and onther choke to isolate them.

I have this exact PSU and always thought it was my GPU making the noise. It doesn't bother me as I can't hear it over the sound of games and it doesn't do that when I watch movies so I don't mind it. Weird problem.

Maybe corsair are getting sloppy with their production D: would suck if they are going cheap because im upgrading my Coolermaster 550watt to a Corsair HX650 Modular. Hope this doesnt happen to me

Lol man, my problem is the exact opposite.

My corsair 450vx buzzes (like a bee, not high pitched squeal) all the time but when I use ATI tool the buzz stops and it's dead silent. Wtf?

I plan on buying a 550vx as my mom needs a new PSU and it seems to not make any noise in her system. Hopefully 550vx won't give me problems.

my coolmax CU700-B does that to and it so loud. it only started to do it when I installed my GTX275 I guess thats what I get for buying a cheap PSU.
I'm going to get the Cooler Master silent pro M 600 watt.

thats strange.... When running 3d applications, my nVidia GTX-275 has a high pitched squeal, but it only happens when the card is running at >1000 FPS (usually menus and older games are the only times the card can achieve that high FPS, but setting VSYNC on fixes the problem obviously)

but in my system, it's the video card itself, not the power supply.

holy shit that is crazy, i have never had any component that does that. (knock on wood)

I bought a new computer with a Corsair TX650W PSU, totally unaware of these types of issues. Oh boy, have I learned my lesson the hard way. Squealing opera every time I play certain games or give 3D Mark Vantage a go. Hate it and I'm going to get another brand.

I had this very annoying problem too with my new i7 build. I was running a Zalman ZM600-HP 600w supply, which would whine and squeal with this board as soon as the machine was powered up! I replaced it with a Corsair HX1000w and it's now perfect. I'm sorry your Corsair was problematic; I guess the insides vary drastically from model to model. Thanks for the video.

Thats a real shame bud. My PSU makes that noise on ATI tool but its very very very quiet. The only way to notice it is if you stil your head to the site of the tower. But in general all PSUs will make this noise but 90% of them like mine are very very quiet when they do so. Mine is a Thermal Take Evi Blue series 750watt. Might be one to try for your self.
