just bought an antec smartpower sp-500 500W psu
it's stable and powerful, but when i go into a high draw app (atitool w/ 3Dview does it) the psu emits a high pitch buzzing. as i increase the OC, the buzzing goes up in pitch and volume. can't seem to think of anything other than faulty unit, but maybe this has happened to someone and found a solution? (i'm thinking just a burn-in might go away (fingers crossed), or something too close inside of the unit.) the issue is not due to any fan, in the psu or otherwise. it's like a buzzing mosfet or capacitor (i'm kind of scared!)
please help...
