I got the replacement unit, another BR1500. This unit produces a high pitched whine then a click every 10 seconds or so. I assume that this is the charging circuit keeping the float charge on the battery.

I've contacted the seller and they are going to send a replacement BR1500 unit, into which I'll swap the batteries from my current unit.

Just got a refurbished APC BR1500 and it produces a high pitched whine.

Hi,

I wondering if anyone uses this ups and whether it is silent during normal operation.

Thanks,

Hi, I would like to know if anybody else has been having this problem. I previously purchased a Samsung F1 1tb hard drive that produces a high pitched whine when seeking. Today I got a 1tb two platter, 500gb/platter, Western Digital greenpower hard drive. When I run HDTune's error scan on the WD dri...

Hi,

I've also found the hard drive noisy when softmounted using the antec drive trays. Once I suspended the drive the idle noise was greatly reduced, but, the seeks are still audible and sometimes produce high pitched squeals.

Hi,

I just got a Samsung F1 hard drive. It produces high pitched noises when seeking. Also, before suspending the drive in my Solo, I softmounted it using the Solo drive trays, where the drive was very noisy.

I'd just like to know if anyone else has experienced this.

Thanks

Hi, I got the akimbo cooler also, for my eVga 8800GT. When you look on the back of the card you'll see alot of screws, simply loosen and remove and retain all the screws. Also take off the two black screws from the metal bracket on the end of the card If a sticker is in the way, you should be able t...

Hi, I've got a problem with my replacement psu which I recieved by UPS yesterday from Seasonic. When I try to cold boot, booting after windows shutdown, the status lights flash for a millisecond then shut off. But, when I cycle the on/off switch on the power supply itself and then press the power bu...

Hi, Just an update. I emailed Kevin at Seasonic support and told him that this was my second RMA, (The previous Seasonic PSU buzzed) and resent the RMA request form. When I checked my inbox this evening, I got a pleasant suprise. In an email from Kevin, I was notified that a new psu was on its way b...

Hi,

In the recent sales flyer for the online store I visit, I see some sort of infared thermometer produced by Scythe. I would like to know if anyone has used them and if their accuracy is any good.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I've got the Antec Sonata Designer (a.k.a. Antec Solo), with a Seasonic S12II 380 psu. I've got the stock one slot cooler on the 8800gt which exhausts into the case and a ninja on the e8400. When I do any gaming the Seasonic fan ramps up. This is with the case closed and 2 nexu...

How did you 80mm psu swap turn out, I'm thinking of buying an EA380 for this exact same reason.

Hi. I've got another question here. Currently, I've got a Seasonic S12II 380W psu, but when I start gaming, the psu fan ramps up and is quite loud. I'm running an E8400 and 8800GT. My question is, would it be quieter to use a 120mm psu that sucks in the case air or a 80mm psu thats ducted to the fro...

Hi, I've got another question here. On typical atx midtower cases the cd & dvd drives are on the same level as the psu, at the top of the case. Then when you use a psu with a single bottom fan, it creates a heat pocket between the drives and the psu. Would this lead to the drives overheating? Also, ...

Hi, As mentioned in my previous post, I fried my 500W EarthWatts. I would like to know if anybody has had any experiences with the Seasonic oem unit SS-400ET at 400W. I'm aiming to power the components listed below: Gigabyta GA-P35-DS3R motherboard Pentium 4 630 at 3.0GHz 2x 1GB DDR2 sticks 1 DVD-RO...

Hi, When I was poking aroung inside my Earthwatts 500W looking for the source of the buzzing noise. I found that it was coming from the heatsink, which is live with high frequency voltage. It sounding as if the heatsink was rapidly arcing. Unfortunately, I then fried my psu by shorting the heatsink ...
