To start off, here's a sound clip of the noise.
The PSU in question is the EVGA 650W GQ.
Alright, so here's a bit of a back story. Bought this around the beginning of May. The extent of it's use has been turning it on for a few minutes just to check if it was working/my newly built computer was functioning properly. It was completely silent and functional; the condition was pristine.
Thursday, I bought an SSD and put it in. Since I had a component for storage now, it was time to install the OS. So I did that, and that's when I began to notice the buzzing/noise.
This PSU features an "ECO" mode, which I'm sure a lot of you are aware of. Basically, the PSU's fan won't turn on unless the PSU exceeds a certain temperature. Turning the PSU on for 5 seconds will not cause it to reach that temperature. What I'm saying is, it's very likely this is not the fan. In fact, when I turn off the ECO mode, this sound is not even present when the fan is active. Weird, right?
Should I use the warranty and return this or something? Even if it's not hazardous, it's really fucking annoying. Ideally, if someone could pose a solution, that'd be great.
Oh yeah, here's my build. Let me know if pictures are needed.
