Power Supply Squeal survey

Wed Feb 09, 2011 3:20 pm

Hi!

I am after a new PSU since the two Mist 650W (rev 4.0 and 3.5) squeal when I have high FPS in games or certain loads on the GPU. A survey would show which PSUs are the safest to bet on.

Please post

Motherboard
CPU
Graphics Card
PSU

and which components you can hear squeal under load. Load like ATI Tool, Crysis menu, in-game etc.

I go first:

Gigabyte GA-965P-DS4 rev 1.0
Core 2 Quad Q6700 @3.4ghz
GeForce GTX 285
GeForce GTX 470
Mist 650W Rev 4.0 - Squeals loudly in ATI Tool, Crysis menus, Quake 3
Mist 650W Rev 3.5 - Squeals but hardly able to hear it
 
just brew it!

The components I've owned which have squealed audibly were:

- Silverstone PSU
- DFI motherboard
- Gigafast network switch

Sorry, I don't recall model numbers (and can't check easily as I'm not sure if I even still own the items in question, and in any case I'm halfway across the country right now).
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
