Hey guys,
I recently built a new computer (1 day ago) and I was running a small test to verify all the components powered on properly and noticed my Corsair was making an odd crackling noise. Did some research and it may be something called Coil whine. I thought it odd but perhaps it's just a break in phase? I didn't want to do extensive testing with my Mobo plugged in.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. I should note that Newegg shipped the PSU with it sitting on the bottom of the box without an padding besides it's own boxing (had too many issues with Newegg doing this, never buying there again). I could RMA it but wanted to get some input first.
