Corsair GS600 Noise

[Skrym]

Hello,

I have this Corsair GS600 and I`m getting this horrible, annoying sound, not sure if this is called “coil whine” or “capacitor whine”, you guys are the experts can decide better than me.

(not my video but this is the exact same problem I have)

[I touched the psu case, fan and I can feel a vibration coming from the inside, also when the sound gets worst I can hear vibration]




I haven`t heard any similar sound in any other model of Corsair PSUs, this is the most annoying thing ever.

When doing simple stuff like web browsing it will not sound that bad, but when I play games like battlefield it just gets worst.

As I see this seems to be a very common problem with the GS series, I`m wondering if the GS series is that cheap.

Can you guys tell me more info. about this product, should I ask for a new GS or get a TX650v2, I`m VERY, VERY, VERY, desperate with this sound.



Thanks in advance

Re: Corsair GS600 Noise

How old is this PSU, approximately?
Did the problem develop suddenly or slowly get worse?

Hi, it is less than two weeks old, if you google "Corsair GS noise” you´ll find a lot of people complaining about this problem but not an actual technical explanation what is causing it.

Some advices from Corsair are like turn on Vsync, turn off CPU C1E and EIST but none of this will work.

But what type of noise is it “coil whine” or “capacitor whine”?

I`ll accept any other type of noise but this will just make me crazy.

It's coil whine. I haven't seen a capacitor make noise... yet.
