PSU making high pitched noise

i shot love · 03-19-2008, 05:41 AM

I have an Antec SP-500 and about a week or 2 ago, it starting making this high-pitched sound almost constantly. Before that I heard it a bit but it was much much more quiet. Now, it's like the first thing you notice when you walk into my room. It's a pretty new power supply, I've had it for about a year maybe. I hope it's not dying out or anything. Any ideas?

Power Supply Information and Selection

from your past posts, it appears that you have had supply problems previously. replace it. good luck.

I agree, replace the current power supply with a spare and see if the noise goes away.

Antec is a good brand but no company is perfect.
