My new AX1200 can get loud. Very loud. I can sometimes hear it during games, and I play with headphones.
For reference, the case that's sitting next to it is running 14 fans (on three radiators) of varying speed, but none below 1450RPM. Yes, the video's dark, but that's not the point, although I do accidentally cover up the microphone a little bit when I move to show the screen.

I guess I got lucky because my AX1200 is pretty much silent. Just send yours back to Corsair and they'll give you a new one. That's what the 7 year warranty is for.

Dont think you'll 'need' a AX1200 then. Unless you want to run a 3-SLI or CFX setup with some serious overclock. I'm thinking of buying it next month. ;)

Nah its just a faulty one. Its a great PSU.
I bought a 980X cpu. The first one I got was dead. Well to bad, RMA and 3 days later I got a new one.. and runs perfect! So not buying this PSU because 1 user has a faulty one? thats just stupid.

return it noob.

Well--shit happens. If you buy enough computer parts you are bound to have something give trouble in due course. It's nice to have some backup components so your comp isn't down during the RMA process. I have the same PSU for about a month now with no issues. Corsair will surely issue a replacement if that noise persists.

I've heard some people say that the noise goes away after a couple weeks and it may just be the power supply "burning in" so to speak. I have no opinion on the matter personally as I don't own this power supply and am not familiar with other PSU's doing this. But that is something I have read other users of this PSU say and they stated after a couple weeks the noise went away and the PSU was fine. Hard for me to imagine corsair would design a PSU where that noise is normal though.
