Re: Strange sparking sound from PSU

You bought a $300 appliance of dubious value and didn't get the $7 outlet tester that I recommended here ? This issue is different from what I posted before.

So far I have tried Seasonic Platinum 1050W, EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000 W(OEM Super Flower), Antec HCP1000 (OEM Delta), Corsair AX860i (OEM Flextronics), all of them have some high pitched noise.
