Is that noise normal with Seasonic Focus Gold GX1000 PSU?

Posted by teveherevere@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 3 comments

I bought this Seasonic Focus Gold GX1000 PSU and heard this noise as soon as I turned off hybrid mode or put a heavier load on the system. It doesn't matter whether I test it normally or upside down. Did a test with its own tester with normal and upside down positions. Same noise. Does it make sense to ask for a replacement and hope that the next one won't make this noise, or is this normal for this model? What do you think? https://imgur.com/a/5SNWjrX

Never heard that noise before...could take a gamble and try returning it for a new one

Thank you. My distributor said that Sesonic noise is a known issue under heavy load or stress test. But I got the GX650 before and never heard that sound. Now idk to ask a new and risk the same issue or go for a more expensive bq dark power 14. I hope to get confirmation from a Sesonic user that this is not normal.

Well, if u return and get a new one and it has the same noise, then at least you could rest easy that the noise is normal.and if you're still uncomfortable with the sound, then you could sell it off and get the bequiet one.
