Corsair 650TX coil noise

Got some noise from my PSU when i load games with high fps. Its a corsair 650TX. I have replaced the PSU with three diffrent brands, but the noise did not go away... i am confused, the noise clearly comes from the PSU.

I wonder if it is the XFX HD5870 that causes this issue.

Intel Core I7 930 @ 3.4ghz
Asus P6T SE
Corsair XMS12 Gb 1333 mhz
XFX HD 5870 1 GB

hey, man did you figure this out? I got the same thing. Its coming out of my corsair psu. Oddly enough, i can replicate it by stressing the cpu. I wonder if it is because of power draw or shielding. I'm thinking about putting a wire mesh over it just to see if it does anything.

@MrLuke314 No i can not get the noise by just stressing the cpu. I have test it with prime95 and the noise is not there. I have it only when I load up games with high fps...

@christeribaren I just spent two hours removing my corsair PSU and switching it with an OCZ PSU. I've swapped them from two seperate builds. I can say definitively now that it is the TX650's fault. I am not sure about your problem as it is graphics related... have you tried an integrated solution, just to see if it is the card?

@MrLuke314 I have tested with an XFX 850watt PSU and with an 650 watt coolermaster PSU. And they sounds exactly the same as the TX650. That is why i suspect the GPU (XFX HD5870)

I had exactly the same problem, same PSU, I RMA'd it and got a TX650M back, no noise now

@christeribaren its gpu coil whine thats what I heard cant get rid of it I dont think its nothing to worry about

From another video someone said it was the do with the power supply to the  harddrive that it wasnt volted properly or something.

LOL. Sounds like you have Dial-Up!!

Im pretty sure its the gpu. It does this sound in game when there are high FPS (mostly in menus, loading screens etc)

Try to turn on Vsync and you will see that i am right

@christeribaren yep youre right ... now i own the gs800 psu from corsair and i hear the same noise... but in my case is comming from the VGA too...

@christeribaren Hey! I bought Corsair 650TXV2 (i5-2500k, asus p8p67, 8Gb kingstone grey, WB black sata3 1GB, 560 ti SOC 1000ghz) and is silent:) really, no coil noise, never! i only hear my hardrive only. All staff like C1E is on, Vsync off and is quiet.
