I had made a post earlier about a buzzing sound that I thought was coming from my video card (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1535707). Upon closer examination it seems like it is coming from the PSU. Should I RMA my PSU? I have only had this power supply since January this year. It doesn't make the sound all the time, but at the time of this posting it has been buzzing for about 15 minutes. Here is a sound clip.

That's just coil whine, and it's a fairly common thing with PSUs. It's not a problem, and unless the noise is annoying enough that you can't tolerate it, there's no need to have the unit replaced.
 
Ok. It just seemed odd because it is fairly loud and can be heard over everything else in my room. Thank you.
