I'm hoping that you guys can help me since I'm stumped.
My power supply gives off a very high pitch noise; so much so that I'm the only one in my family that can hear it. This noise irritates me more than a delta screamer or tornado fan would. Understandably, I would like to silence the noise; hopefully without having to replace the PSU (It's an Antec SL350).
Apparently, this noise is not coming from the fans, but rather the electrical components. I've tried to touch most of the electical components (mainly chokers) with a plastic toothpick to try to pinpoint the source of the noise. I didn't notice any change in pitch though, so I tried some of the other components to no avail. I also tried stopping the fans, but that just confirmed that the noise wasn't coming from them.
Funny thing is: the noise is intermittent. For example, sometimes it stops temporarily after I move the mouse at the login screen. Also, the PSU has never given me any noise problems when it was in my other computer. Noisy line noise perhaps?
Does anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be? Or perhaps a solution to my problem?
