AX860 Coilwhine

Hi!

My AX860 is suffering from coilwhine, mostly when the computer is shutdown or in idle. Or thats the time i can hear it most and thats also the time when it must frustrating. Impossible to sleep without unplugging it. Should i return it to the vendor or send it straight to you?

Is it a brand new unit? It's worth trying couple of these suggestion and it might help getting rid off that coil whine. Please see link, Here

Nah, have had it for like six months, the coilwhine was there from the beginning, but I didn´t really give it any much thought about it then, since I had the computer in another room. But i´ve recently moved and I now have the computer in the same room as I sleep in and its driving me insane.. Well not exactly insane, but its very frustrating. It´s not that super loud but very low frequent buzz, and when the computer is turned off or idling, its like the only thing you can hear.
I don´t know if i have any power saving setting enabled on the motherboarad, I dont think so, but i´ll check it out! Ive also tried with three different graphics cards, no change. And the coil whine started when i changed my old PSU for the AX860. Going to try with another motherboard also.
