So I purchased 1 Corsair Builder Series Version 2 CX500 watts... I get it and it smells like plastic, hot to the touch (UPS left it out) , and hook it in.. It makes a high pitched squeal soon as I flip it on (as in flip the switch in the back).
So.. I think the heat might have damaged it, RMA it.
The second one does the same thing.
So I'm lost now.
Is it just the PSU? The heat? I hooked the machine up with a 300 watt Bestec I have laying around and it doesn't squeal like an old TV (that heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee sound).
The only thing that doesn't hookup on the bestec is the second part of the 8 plugin to the CPU (only has a 4 prong connection) so I'm assuming that's not it.
