Hello everyone. I recently built my computer some time ago. (Link to partlist). I was living in the dorms at my school and everything worked great. When I recently went home after finals, I started hearing a whining sound (coil whine?) coming from what seems to be the power supply. This noise wasn't present at school and I have tried multiple outlets/power cords and they all do the same thing. All the voltages are the same (in America for school and home).

Should I be worried and look into an RMA for the PSU or is it most likely nothing?

Thanks in advance!

It probably won't affect the performance of your pc, it's just annoying. It's very common for PSU's to have a slight coil whine.
Get an RMA just to be sure. (I've had the same problem, also with CM. Got an RMA after 2 weeks).
