New Tagan PSU making funny sound
Got a Tagan Easycon 480W PSU a few weeks ago, finally assembled my machine but PSU seems to be making a sqweeking sound (not all the time though). I wanted something quiet and modular which is why I purchased this Tagan PSU.
Operationally the PSU is fine BUT I can hear the noise above the other fans in my machine and isolated the noise to being the PSU. It does my head in when the house is quiet, my machine is 'fairly' quiet except the PSU. What are my options?

It's not much but enough to annoy me. Had to put machine back together again for now as I needed to use it.

Might be worht checking for something like that.

Yeah, because the cable is so stiff it seems to transmit the vibrations into the case. If yours arent touching hten it wont be that, and its a distinct vibrating noise, not a squeal.

Secondly with this fault you will need a quiet environment to test it in ... the PSU works fine operationally though... last thing I need is a long drawn out RMA. Please tell me this will be painless
