I own a small computer and networking service and repair business. I was recently contracted by another small business to build two systems for them. After assembling and setting up both systems, they work flawlessly without any problems. although, the power supply that i bought for both of the systems which is a CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 PSU whines continuously when plugged in and off and when turned on in both of the systems. Both systems have the same hardware configuration with the exception of the case (one is a mid tower while one is a mini tower). Ive done the research and it seems like others have had this issue with this same PSU and have labeled the problem as coil whine. I am concerned that this light whining noise could cause undesirable functionality in the future for my customer which i do not want to happen. They work in a noisy place thus i know they would not hear the whine (if in fact this whining is not an issue). I would like to hear others thoughts on this matter.

That was plan C. I was just curious if other people have had experience with this type of issue before asking the company themselves.
