Mechanical noise / Fan noise
All fans generally get louder with time and wear. This is not a cause for a typical warranty claim. If the
fan is excessively noisy on a brand new power supply, please contact the reseller.
NOTE: Over time dust can accumulate on the fan grille, and produce excessive noise - clear the ac-
cumulation using a can of compressed air.
Electrical noise / humming / coil whine
Typically, electrical noise is caused by minor incompatibility issues between components, such as be-
tween the power supply and the VRM modules on a graphics card. This noise may only occur at certain
load combinations, and can therefore often be avoided by making slight changes to the power load.
Please try altering the following settings before returning your power supply to your reseller:
•
Power saving features of the CPU and motherboard, such as C1E (Enhanced Halt State) and EIST
(Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology) – refer to the motherboard manual for more details on
which features the motherboard supports and how to change their settings
•
Graphics card driver options, including the "vsync" option – refer to the graphics card manual for
instructions on how to changes these settings.
If the noise level is not reduced after adjusting power load settings, Fractal Design considers loud elec-
trical noise an acceptable cause for a warranty claim.
