I bought this power supply and want to know if mine is working properly. It seems loud compared to other power supplies. Is this normal?

Mine isn't loud. I would not consider it normal. Contact the seller for an RMA.

Mine barely makes a sound unless its been running all day, and its really hot in my house. But even then. Its no louder than the little fan can be.

I changed my power supply after 2-3 months because I was adding a larger graphics card. Its power supply is okay but needs an upgrade after time due to low wattage.

Same as almost every other power supply but still very quiet, and more quite than other case fans but since it's a cheap per no one has taken the time to measure it in dB, sorry. And I had to return mine.

Its actually not that loud! I did not use this PSU for very long before switching to an XFX PSU which I like better and feel that it is more reliable then the raidmax.

I bought a new 700W power supply, but it's not even breathing hard, even when I push the envelope! I'd always be over-engineered than under-engineered. It will last just about forever because its not being taxed or pushed to its limit.

mine does the same.. check your voltages in the BIOS though from what I've read it's the fan controller on the PSU switching on and off.. you'll be fine :)

This is probably too obvious and may not be helpful, but you need to adjust the current as well as the voltage. When I first started using this power supply, I had a similar concern, but found that adjusting current before voltage helped. Sorry if this is not helpful.

No, I do not. I bought it for a friend and will try to find out. I think that I actually ended up with a similar but more powerful power supply.

I just bought this case as well to a 230v country. I made sure it's switched to the 230v side before doing anything. The fan on the power supply would start, then stop after a few seconds, then start again etc. Same for the CPU fan that is connected. Is it possible all these power supplies are lemons for 230v?

I think it would be fine! I love this power supply. Been using it steady (almost 24/7) since I got it, and have had no trouble what so ever. very quiet as well.

The power supply itself dose not make any noise, but I'm don't know if it would induce a harmonic noise into your stereo equipment. Especially if you are using amplifiers.

They're not noisy for me. Is it the lights themselves, or the power supply you're using?

The one I got booted up fine and was nice and quiet during idle on the desktop. But load up an intensive game, and the fan was very noticeable. I could hear it from outside the room, down the hall, and downstairs. I returned this M12II and got a Seasonic X-850 GOLD Seasonic X-850(SS-850KM3 Active PFC F3) 850W 80 Plus Gold ATX12V/EPS12V Power Supply instead, and have been happy with it for the last 2 years and counting.

Mine is actually a 600watt power supply. Amazon keeps lumping all the reviews together on these - not good, as it gets confusing. The power supply is very good quality and I would buy this brand again. My 600watt version is more than enough to power your i7 motherboard and multiple components.

I love my thermaltake power supply. I don't get any loud noises from it at all. There's no humming. Only the fan makes the wind noice but low level. I will buy another one for another build when I'm ready.
