Team,
 
I just purchased a Supernova 1000 G3, I quickly notice the high pitch whining noise. Is this normal on this PSU?
 
Thanks!

    No, it's not normal..Does it whine all the time or just under some load?
     
    Sometimes a high pitch whining noise can come from the video card, which is sometimes due to the PSU, make sure it's not the video card.
     
    Plug the PSU directly into the wall socket if you're using an extension cord or uninterruptable power supply.

    Thanks for your reply.
    It whines when the computer turns on. The video card does not whine. Ill try your suggestion here in a bit.

    Found the problem.
    The water pump is causing the psu to whine... Not sure why.
