The PSU is about 4 years old. It has been running 24/7 almost everyday. It worked fine until I upgraded my rig. Before the upgrade my rig was pulling about 50% of its capacity. After the upgrade my rig used about 85% of its capacity.
Everything is fine EXCEPT the PSU is making some high pitch noise whenever under heavy load(only about 85%). I mine crypto and use my CPU for WCG so my rig is pulling about 85% all the time. The buzzing noisy is very annoying. Its so annoying that even when I am not listening to anything I put on my headphones. I tried to move my PSU outside my case so I am sure the noise is coming from the PSU.
The PSU is stable though.
I dont think RMA is a good idea. Corsair might just say my PSU passed all the tests and send back the original. And I cant afford not to run my PC for weeks while my PSU is gone.
So whenever I cant endure the noise anymore I am gonna buy a replacement. Shame on Corsair and/or Channel Well for making such low quality product.
