Hi there, I've currently got an XFX 650W XXX edition PSU running in my rig:

i5 2500k,
Asrock Z77 ITX
EVGA 780 SC ACX
H70
Seagate 2TB HDD
Coolermaster Elite 130

This is the second PSU I've ever owned, and I'm not happy with the way it sounds, I've uploaded a video:

I can't actually tell if anythings wrong with it, but during heavy load the fan on it ramps up a crazy amount. I'm really close to just chucking the whole thing out the window :lol: 

Can't enjoy demanding games because the whole thing turns into a jet engine!

Cheers.

Thank you kindly good sir, will be enjoying getting this RMA'd...

Also, while I've got you, would this also be a cause as to why the fan on it is being forced to ramp up so high?

It's a really good power supply and it's a bummer when you get a bad one.

Thanks for posting.
