Well I have the same problem as described here. Ticking goes away after a few minutes though. I have a Asus Maximus VI Impact motherboard. What is starting to bother me more is that I have contacted Europe tech support two weeks ago without answer

I've also have a same problem... ticking sound... i've build my system yesterday...

RAMed the whole case with PSU.. i've had ticking sound and loud fan.. the loudest thing inside my computer.. :)
 
I'll update you guys once i receive replacement.

Guys, i could solve almost totally the problem of my PSU noise.
I found that the noise was the psu fan, so I turned the case upside down leaving the back facing up, unscrewed the metal cover that sits on the back of the case (exhaust PSU fan) and removed part of the round seal to access spindle lock the propeller, and applied a little of the product WD40 (spray lubricant) leaving it work for a few minutes.
Put the seal back, screwed back the metal cover,returned the case to the normal position, power on... and bingo! Noise decreased by almost 80% :thumb:
 
As you can see in both videos:

I can confirm that PSU that came with brand new case from RMA doesn't have a ticking sound problem anymore. :) :)

I am still deciding whether to get this case or not. Was it worth all the hassle of RMAing? I'm afraid I will get a bad psu. I am trying to build a silent rig. May I ask if your computer is loud? 

I just built my rig and the rattling noise is present. I started an RMA and hope to get a PSU that doesn't exhibit this noise. I see some people saying "it's normal", but quite honestly I don't think it is. Also, it gets extremely annoying when you're trying to work on your machine and concentrate. The noise sounds like a noisy mechanical drive when it's seeking. I hope EVGA rectifies this and send me a good unit.

I built my rig about 2 weeks ago. I don't think there's a rattling noise for me, unless you're talking about the slightly buzzing of the machine. Can you describe the rattling, so that I can see if I have it? The only problem I noticed was that the fan is really loud when I first start the computer. 

The noise sounds like a mechanical hard drive when it's seeking, almost like a buzzing noise. That's not a normal sound for a PSU. Also, it happens intermittently, not only when the machine is under load.

Mine gone to never come back with the oil solution.
