>Any brand apart from corsair i should aim for?

i doubt much people here have such new systems...
is there a gigabyte forum where you could see what other users of that board use and then got such psu...
http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/
or serach simillar forums where gb owners visit...

something here too

and...hehe...that corsair of yours is actually built by seasonic...so answer could be
"find corsair made by cwt..."

offcourse, i cannot guarantee anything...

oh yeah, this reminded me of fizzycapola's issue
https://www.badcaps.net/forum/showthread.php?t=6236

he also had corsair psu...hehe...
so much money, so much squealing...

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Thanks willawake

Did a bit of searching and decided if a new corsair replacement keeps the squeel again, ill be gunning for a Antec signature Premium 650w as a replacement.

EDit:
Woops missed your post i4004!

Ill do a bit more research based on your links and findings

Thanks again folks

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

new corsair of same model probably will squeal...see my post above.

as for antec, isn't antec also sourcing something from seasonic?
hehe...

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Thanks i4004, in a little while ill try and record the sound its making, its frequencey in sound is very different from the youtube you provided, however it could be the same issue..

Im not quite sure what antec are up to these days! been a while since i brought anything from them tbh. however it seems to have good reviews and talked well

Mega edit:

Done some more looking around and it seems this issue is far more common than i actually thought..(Assuming i do have the same issue, i find it hard to tell sometimes...lol)

Ill mostly likely just replace it with another good brand of PSU, the whole issue is starting to anoy me a little considering i brought the rig on nov 27th.

Thanks again for the links and help

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

oh, you don't have to record it, i'm pretty sure we've found the culprit, ie the psu....
small variations in sound don't matter much.

it's essentially the same issue, seasonic not tolerating such cpu loads too well...

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Just finished uploading, i was going to upload it to send to the e-retailer too, so i thought i may as well post it here ..

May need to turn up your sound a little to hear it properly..

Its recorded from turning onto the PC, booting into windows 7 then running an adaware scan.

Theres little to no squeel within bios and it then starts to squeel within windows etc.

its amazing what you can find on youtube, i attempted to look for videos of the same issue, and came up with some body who put shampoo into a PSU and recorded it shorting and setting on fire...

Youtube scares me some times..

Thanks again

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Almost all of antec's offerings are from delta now. The truepower new series are seasonic, and there are a few low end basiq series that may still me FSP (though the 430W basiq is a delta now,) Quattros are from etasis or something like that, I can never remember.

The signature series are based off of extremely good delta platforms. Highly recommend them.

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

any good caps in them?

[370forlife]

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Hardware Canucks just did a roundup of a bunch of 850W psu's.

Theirs had rubycon primaries and UCC secondaries. 650W version is almost the same exact thing.

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=113

And what was I seeing, you ask? How about ripple and noise below 16mV on all rails. I'm not talking about just the three main rails, I'm talking all of them. Even the -12V; which is usually noisy as hell, being an "afterthought" rail. It's Monday and I'm in love, L-U-V. Yes, I definitely know how I'm scoring this.

At MyAOpen.com, you can find the Zippy GSM-6600P for about this same price. That unit is perhaps the only unit out there able to compete with this one, and even then the Zippy was outperformed at 12V by the Signature.

PC Power and Cooling? Forget it... there's no Turbocool model of comparable power, and the Silencers can't cut it. The closest thing they have is the Turbocool 510W, and that's an ancient design as power supplies go.

The OCZ Evostream 600W is close to the same caliber, but can't match the ripple suppression or low noise level. Corsair? Nuh-uh... good luck finding one with this kind of ripple suppression. The SG-650 is pretty much in a league of its own here, and shows what can happen when you throw wads of cash at a renowned OEM known for server grade units and say, "Here, go nuts."

Not to mention it just looks downright cool.

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Gotta admit, it is quite a pretty looking PSU lol.

The review was very good too.. thanks for the info!

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

>Almost all of antec's offerings are from delta now.

yes, delta is good.....i like delta, but i would like them even more if i could actually buy one...too expensive...hehe...

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...print&reid=113

damn thing has no ripple!!!

but i would never give 175$ for psu.
esp. knowing that 350w fortrons do me just fine.

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Enermax PRO82+ 525W is good one. It's hovewer pricier, there are some cheaper and good PSU's, but usually have bad output caps. So you'd like to recap it anyway, which is another cost...

As for Delta, I discovered they were probably making PSU's for old Dell, Compaq etc. computers and are still making many OEM PSU's. You cannot imagine what this old supplies can take. Most of this HP etc. PC's has great efficiency, but I think Delta still uses bad caps...?

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Hi Behemot, thanks for the input.

Im not quite sure i fully understand what you mean by "bad caps".

Do you mean lower quality compared to others? or those caps in question have a higher than average fault rate?

[ratdude747]

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

no, deltas are gold... some OEM units had crapxon, ltec, taicon, but they built it to standard that even crap caps can survive in. some of their units were nippon chemicon and nichicon only... those are the best.


not that its good they use crap caps, but they do everything else well enough that its less of a problem.

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Ah okay, thanks ratdude

[Pupugi]

Re: Angry capacitors/transformers! ):

Well! bit of an update i think!

Took the entire system back today, the mobo was again replaced which cured the squeel.

I was told the boards power cycle was at fault, which caused "all components" to squeel. the PSU being the most noticable..

From what i cant tell after having it on for now a few hours, the squeels have totally dissapeared as i sit in my chair, however if i put my my ear next to the back of the PSU, there is a very VERY quiet squeel yet again..its allmost non-existant. my room is deadly silent all apart from the fans on the pc etc, and i half to be literally touching the back of the PSU with my ear.

Hopefully its cured it, and hopefully this squeeling-ness wont cause any further harm to my PC or my current mental state!....

Thank you all for your help and input :]
