!! WARNING: Capacitors (those cylindrical components in the video) hold charge even if you UNPLUG the power from your PSU. They're like batteries, with a subtle difference that if you touch them they'll just discharge entire load at once. In other words capable of killing you.
Sometimes I hear something in a video that makes my jaw drop in amazement. I'm a professional audio tech who has to replace capacitors all the time. Bulging capacitors have failed, period. If you had the gear to test them, you'd see that they have failed. They should be replaced immediately. What's happened is that gas has started to build up inside them. It may be due to the "bad caps" fiasco of the 2000s. They were not purposefully overfilled. It's possible that the whine and the failed capacitors have something to do with one another.
Haha, that's great! It's unfortunate that most stores only sell regular hot glue, which doesn't work. Even if they did, many people don't have _audacity_ to complete this fix anyway
How did you find out this particular glue stick works as a coil whine fixer? Is it via trial and error? There isn't much to go on from the Amazon product description.
The only video that show the same issue but the pitch sound from my psu is lower than that and most people can't feel it , i do cause i know is there after i get close to the power supply, man you are a legend, i have a question: do i have to change the power supply or there's no risk using the one i have with this pitch noise?
I measured mine on the oscilloscope and even though it had the coil whine it did not have a lot of ripple so it was actually fine to use. It was just annoying.
@@AnotherMaker thank you for your reply, one question please when i unplug the psu from motherboard and test the psu itself itself seems like The coil whine sound become very low and not easy to hear it why?
@@mohsinekhalfadir1823 Coil whine depends on how much current is flowing throuh the coil. No consumers connected (no load) - no power draw - lower current.
Have a TR2 power supply 750W. Always thought it was the GPU, until I replaced the card. Was the PS that made the noise. Is this just hot glue from a craft's store?
"back in the 90's and early 2000's they didn't have as good manufacturing" - Thermaltake was notorious for garbo PSU's even by early 2000's standards. After their cases became popular they kinda just went bonkers pumping out all sorts of bad products. All the way down to the 5.2 bay ash tray / car light combo (I actually almost bought one back in the day when it was sitting in a microcenter bargain, just because it was funny as hell). As for the coil whine, the problem is those s@*t caps and when they start whining like that odds are its gonna brick soon.
the coil whine will fix itself as you get older
🤠
Lol
I look forward to becoming older and stop hearing these hellish frequencies
Me too fucking hell! Good hearing is a curse. @@unocualqu1era
If you go deaf yeah, it will fix itself.
Problems of early 2000s returning into fashion in mid 2020s
the comedy in this is golden
Those capacitors look llike they're bulging
Bulging, bulging, the arse is damn near blown out of 'em. 🤣🤣
That's what she said.

The capacitor plague. I laughed though when he said they're overfilled, might use that one.
Im sorry but i could not hear the whine over my roaring Tinnitus
so is there anything i can do to the coils that will actually cut it down? i have an LED power plug that has pretty irritating coil whine
Haha, that's great! It's unfortunate that most stores only sell regular hot glue, which doesn't work. Even if they did, many people don't have _audacity_ to complete this fix anyway
You have a great sense of humor
haha. That's fantastic. It really is unfortunate. The big power supply consortium whines about regulation.
But I didn't hear any whine before you started...
Nvidia please hire this man to fix your 4090s ty
Customers should not deal with coil whine with the price they pay for a 4090.
Will the glue hinder the heat absorbation in any way?
How did you find out this particular glue stick works as a coil whine fixer? Is it via trial and error? There isn't much to go on from the Amazon product description.
For me, pretty much everything is trial and error.
Doesn’t the whine fade over time? Not saying it should be there in the first place.
It can over time, or the frequency of the sound can change. There are so many variables, it's really a matter of happenchance if it does or not.
Is it harmful or dangerous or maybe affect other components? Or maybe could damage other components? Thx
I don't think it will damage anything unless you prevent heat dissipation.
Knuckles deep in the spicy part of the computer
Ironically I burned my knuckle pretty bad with some coil whine fixer making this video.
What is the likelihood of finding the exact model PSU I'm having a problem with? Thank you sir.
Same here!

Yeah, mains voltage, but it's only that 110 volt whimpy mains voltage, come talk to me when you've had a bang out of 230 volts. 🤣🤣
If you want, try replacing the exploding capacitor first. lol
That's one approach 🙂
Would you mind doing one for gpus?
I just bought a 4090 so we will see if it has it
Hopefully it doesn't :D@@AnotherMaker
I hate that it is such a lottery. Can't companies do QC?

put a cricket next to it and the noise will disappear!
Hahahaha i love the capacitor comment.
Just get tinnitus and no more coil whine
You have some really funny "fixes".
Goddamn, I'm apparently still young.
Oh man you are blessed, thanks for share.
My pleasure!!
Will ignore the blown caps lol
They aren't blown. They were overfilled 🙂
@@AnotherMaker lol ok guess keep tell yourself that either way not suppose look like that
@@rrcoster the whole video was just a joke

I wonder how much of the video is jokes :P
I'll try it anyway cause the sound is unbearable 😕
thanks~
Lol ppl take this seriously
Been one of the bigger surprises of my life:)
Does coil whining do any damage to pc components?
No, but it's often a sign of poor design or poor component usage in general
Thermaltake made great aluminum cases, and that's about it. Poor design and components pretty much sums up the brand.
