I just got a new PSU. A Rosewill Xtreme 850w. After I got it i keep hearing a vroom vroom vroom vroom sound when i play planet side two? i have a stock CPU cooler and a 7870 sapphire ghz edition. any help? its really annoying. (i upgraded from a 575w.)
 
Solution
It could be coil whine which can come from the PSU, GPU or CPU VRM
It could also be a fan or part of the case at resonance under thermal conditions.

Listen around for it but chances are it isn't something to be worried about.
Like a whisper at the back of your skull you cant quite hear? You're compelled to do things but you don't know why?

On a more serious note, its probably coil whine. Different combinations of parts like to make noises, just how it is, you always have the option of returning it if it bothers you, but I'm surprised you can hear it over the fan.

I want to thank all of you for helping me out on this. about after 3 hours of trial an error i figured out it was not the PSU. It was the GPU. BUT! I got it to stop because I had for gotten to snap the PCI-E clip on the back of the card. Lol thank you all!
