Default 750W Silencer loud on load?

Just seeing if this is normal..

Ever since I got SLI my PSU has been pretty loud on load only. Nearly about 1/2 as loud as a vacuum maybe a bit more. Its silent on idle.

Is this normal? All I can think of is that my G80s are draining it for all its got.

Thanks.

I remember my 510W TurboCool got pretty loud under full load. I wouldnt be surprised if it used the same fan - which only has 3 blades, so not the quietest design.

Though the voltages were perfectly stable, so as long as there is no fluctuation, you should be fine.
