it sounds like crickets inside the psu it is not very loud but it is annoying and the psu was not cheap either.
I actually have an RM1000i, and it does not do do this.same noise in this vid but different model

yes it makes the noise just doing nothing ill try turn the fans down so can hear it a bit better but need to move a 18u rack full of equipment to get to the plug socket and try changing that first.I actually have an RM1000i, and it does not do do this.
If you really, really, can't stand the coil whine from this power supply, which is understandable, then you'd probably do well to consider a power supply from a manufacturer other than Corsair. I'd bet good money that the design of the RM1000i and the HX1000 is nearly identical.
Does it make this noise when it's just idling at the desktop?
no. its just coil whine and is normal. some people are more sensitive to its noise and some products make more that others.i am in the uk but would using 230v from the wall be the cause?
i have had a fair few psu over the years and none have made a noise like this i can hear it 2 feet away sat in my chair, if this is normal for these psu then i dont want another one which is a shame but i cant stick this noise it is making atm.no. its just coil whine and is normal. some people are more sensitive to its noise and some products make more that others.
didnt someone already tell you to get another brand as corsairs are notorious for this?i have had a fair few psu over the years and none have made a noise like this i can hear it 2 feet away sat in my chair, if this is normal for these psu then i dont want another one which is a shame but i cant stick this noise it is making atm.
yes but if i send it back i wont have a computer, this psu was for my new threadripper build but i can see loads of posts on the corsair forum for the same issue.didnt someone already tell you to get another brand as corsairs are notorious for this?
you should probably just get a new psu and send the corsair back, like someone already said too. the old one is ancient.yes but if i send it back i wont have a computer, this psu was for my new threadripper build but i can see loads of posts on the corsair forum for the same issue.
im trying to get my old psu recapped first stick that back in this system so i can then send this thing back to scan.
maybe but why risk you new hardware with an ancient psu?so is this rig lol but ill try a new adaptor direct to the wall and see if it goes away and if not ill get it sent back and get a different brand for the new rig.
i just thought if i can get the old psu working again for 40 quid it is going to be cheaper than buying another psu for it with dual 8 pin cpu power.
