Has anyone noticed a slight electronic whine from the power supply? I just got mine wondering if it is normally or not

There is no detectable noise from the power supply on my Tp-Link TL SG1005D.

Yes I hear it. Its not loud when I'm using the internet. When I disconnect from the internet its noticeable.

I have the same version but with a metal chassis and noticed this whine. I'm going to look into a replacement. It makes the noise about 20 seconds after plugging in the power.

I've had two since purchased and I've never had any issues. Can imagine that's a monitor specific issue rather than a power issue, I'd say internal components are more likely to fail first over external if for some reason you are really stressing the PSU.

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

I notice zero AC hum or any whine. I would use this again. I will pass on stay clear of tranmittion over AC wiring S/R units---I think Black Box was the one I used. It has a delay and gets hot.good luck

yeah, that would be extremely annoying :) I have mine running a PC case fan that blows on it while its on, then the built-in fan never runs, and PC fan is MUCHO quieter.

mine does the same.. check your voltages in the BIOS though from what I've read it's the fan controller on the PSU switching on and off.. you'll be fine :)

Haven't had that issue with this game, but I have had it on older computers. Sounds like either power supply or over heating issue as others have said already.

A little white noise. Not annoying though. I actually find it nice and it assures me the monitor is on and working :)

Hello Debby, The short answer to that is no, I have had two of these PW3500s and apart from the cooling fan which is very quite they make no noise, even on full load.John.

Whenever using ANY power supply, there is always gonna be some warmth/heat coming from the unit regardless of whats connected to it. This is perfectly normal. Now if its HOT to the touch, that is not good. Replace immediately. Hope this helps. Be safe ....Chris.

I have yet to experience any coil whine. The fan can be very loud when I'm pushing the CPU (I sometimes have After Effects, Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator all running at the same time) but it's fairly quite in normal use.

It isn't significant running in typical environments. System intense rendering can get that fan humming but it still isn't annoying. I control the fan while running Bootcamp and crank it to max when gaming and only then is it very loud. However I am okay with that cause you need to keep a card cool for gaming.

I haven't had that happen to me. It could be an issue with your power supply not being able to distribute enough power while playing the game. Maybe try borrowing another high watt supply and test it?

I have not had that problem. It sounds like a bad power switch or loose connection on the power supply. I would return it and get a replacement if you can. Mine has worked great for several hours of use so far.

John, I'm sorry. It turns out that the problem with my computer was unrelated to the card. As for upgrading your PSU, I'm not sure if I would be able to give you useful advice.

Mine does the same thing but I don't often notice it. Mayby a move to another area or chose a different speed setting. I leave mine on auto and moved it to a corner of the room and that solved the hum/whine issue.

It can make a very noticeable whine at full speed, which is 7000+ RPM. The can be set to only run on full at a temperature you set in BIOS though and can even limit the top speed as a percentage.
