I bought a builder series power supply from Corsair and had to return it twice, it was emitting a horrible pitch under load. is this just related to a batch of bad units, or a common corsair problem?
It is a common problem with some of them, not sure of the exact details Harris, but check out this search https://www.google.co.uk/search?client=opera&q=corsair+power+supply+whines&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&channel=suggest
Its called ‘coil’ whine – its a fairly common issue with Corsair, but it depends on who their partner is which is confusing for people. CWT can do it, but they used to use Seasonic and they don’t. personally id just pay more for Seasonic all the time.
my mates builder series also whines when he loads his 7950. he is on his second one now.
