Anyone notice that Antec PSU's have a whine to them? They have 2 fans in them and the bigger fan seems to whine quite loudly. Loud enough that I can hear it from UNDER my desk...over my music! Is this normal? My PSU is a 430w True Power.
 
I think not. Sounds like the fan has a bad bearing. How long have you had the PS? It could just need a good cleaning with high pressure air.
 
Well I realized that is wasn't the PSU...it's the Volcano 7 fan that's making all the noise! Gonna swap that out!
 
lol

Yeah, they can get a little loud. Thank god they put a controller with tha 7+, the thing almost gives a Delta a good run for its money.
