You need 10+ posts to post links.
 
Put a space between https:// and the rest of the URL..Should do it for you.

I thought you had a video (or other) link to post, then try what I said..That was your question, right?

You can't send PM's either unless you have 10+ posts.
 
 
It's allowed to put a space in your links, people do it all the time..No biggie.
 
 
I went with fast RAM that was on the Maximus X Hero's QVL at the time..Probably not needed, but hey..The stuff wasn't cheap either, more than I really wanted to pay.

Its a forum of Mostly volunteers ... We cant see or touch your PC ... telling everyone some basic information gives everyone a starting point
 
So, its up to you to share - if you want to
 
Generic answer to generic issue:
 
High pitched electric noise is usually caused by a vibrating inductor (even when the PSU is off there is minimal power going into the unit.) This is not harmful or detrimental to the lifespan or functionality of the power supply.
 
If this noise is bothersome please contact EVGA customer support for further assistance

Re: need help! 2020/02/09 00:21:57 (permalink)
I can't really hear anything wrong, probably because of my way-less-than-stellar headphones 

But if you think it has an abnormal/objectional noise, you can replace the fan in it if you're willing to take the risk of possible injury or death because PSUs hold residual voltage in capacitors even after the unit is turned off/unplugged.

I have replaced PSU fans a handful of times and it's very easy to do, no biggie..You can use an ordinary case fan that's of equivalent, or nearly equivalent specs.

EVGA (and others) states the following, so let's get that out of the way first.

"WARNING: This unit has no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the casing presents a risk of electrocution and will void the product’s warranty."

An EVGA 850W G2 has a Globe Fan RL4Z B1402512HH (140mm, 12V, 0.5A, 1800 RPM, 135.74 CFM, 36.7 dB, DBB, 70,000-hour MTBF) fan in it..It has a 2-wire mini fan connector on it..Globe Fan fans are okay, at the most, but less-than-stellar like my headphones.

Take the cover screws off, then remove the cover and the fan connector (insulated-handle needle nose pliers work well)..Then the fan screws/fan.

Cut the mini fan connector off of the original fan and cut the fan connector off of the replacement fan..Then splice the positive-to-positive (red, power) and negative-to-negative (black, ground) wires together..Separate and wrap them up in a little electrical tape..For fans without color-coded wires here are 3-wire and 4-wire pinouts.

Screw the new fan onto the cover, noting the airflowflow direction arrow on the fan housing..Air needs to blow into the PSU..Then reassemble.

Finally, turn the PSU on with a paper clip or wire to bench test it to make sure the fan spins without hitting anything and the airflow is in the right direction..See: How do I test my power supply? in the EVGA FAQs.

You can get a good, quiet, replacement fan like a Fractal or Noctua, or whatever..I just put a Noctua NF-12 in my Seasonic unit a few weeks ago, can barely hear it.

Take common sense precautions like working with insulated tools and wearing gloves and you'll be fine.

No problemo, and thanks.
 
Here is one review, and a look at the internals on page 5..I believe the fan probably connects to that fan controller board on the left in image 6.
