But I did some testing yesterday, and discovered that the Antec NeoHE 430w PSU is buzzing (coil whine?), whenever I do something on the screen.
So if I open an explorer window and constantly push PageUp or PageDown, the buzzing is always there, even though the screen has stopped scrolling. There is also buzzing if I scroll a page in Internet Explorer. If I open a webpage with a flash-animation, there is some buzzing, which disappears if I move the flash-animation out of sight.
My system is:
Antec P150 and NeoHE 430 (serial 0509xxxxxxx)
Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe
AMD Athlon64 3500+ (cooled by Scythe Ninja)
EVGA 7600GT (cooled by HR-03 and 92mm Nexus)
2x512MB Kingston Memory
Samsung 250GB (2504)
Benq 1650
120MM Nexus fan (running around 5V at back)
80MM Nexus fan (running around 7V at front)
The computer has also restarted a few times, but it can be on for hours without happening, so not sure why, and it's very difficult to test.
But why do I get the buzzing ?
- I have read that PSU could buzz, if there is a very light load. Not sure how light that has to be, but could that be it ?
I have also read, that Antec has not used the best capacitors in their PSU's. That might explain the restarts, but I don't think that's the problem.
Or is there any incompability between the videocard and PSU? Not sure if I can get another PCI-E for testing.
