I purchased this power supply a couple of days ago to replace a no name 450watt "Deer" brand psu I had in my system for over 2 years:
Enermax FMA II DXX EG465P-VE 460W V2.2 2Fan 20/24P 2x6P RoHS ATX PS
Product Info: http://www.canadacom...d...&cid=PS.808
I've been hearing a faint humming sound from inside my pc case since the moment I turned my pc on with the new psu installed. I know for a fact that it's got to be from my new psu because it wasn't there before. It's such a low noise but so present that it's driving me insane. I feel like I'm the victim in that old poem by Edgar Alan Poe going mad over repeated annoying sounds I can't control. I'm going insane here! So much so that I'm actually going to take this psu back to the store this week if I can't find a logical explanation as to why this new psu would do this fresh out the box. Could it be the fact that the psu has two fans? Anyways I actually made a new choice for a different psu which I hope doesn't suffer from a similar humming sound:
Antec EA-500 500W ATX12V V2.0 PSU 80mm Fan 80PLUS ROHS Power Supply
Product Info: http://www.canadacom...d...&cid=PS.808
My new choice above is actually 80 Plus Certified so it's better for the earth and my electrical bill. I have no idea if it's an all out better choice than the Enermax I have now... Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way? I personally just don't want to risk this humming sound being some sort of defect leading to more problems down the line such as complete psu failure.
What do you guys/girls think?
