Corsair cx600, on arrival capacitor whine? (High pitch noise constantly if plugged in and on. Even if the computer was off)

That can be a sign of a failing PSU. The fact that it was doing it from the beginning isn't good.

It could be a dying motherboard. RAM can still be an issue even if memtests are passed.

Multimeter tests on a PSU won't be conclusive because you can't properly simulate a load when testing like that.

I would bet it was a failing HD/motherboard/RAM. CPU failure is a possibility but it's very uncommon.

Hey, I'm sorry. I should have mentioned. The windows partition is on a new SSD, probably less than a year old. I don't think it would fail. Still that doesn't really narrow down the likely suspects. But yeah, definitely could be the mobo.

I thought because of the voltage thing, upping the voltage causing windows to fail to boot, would make the CPU a suspect. The mobo can fail as well like that?

Yeah it could be a lot of things, thanks for the comment. I appreciate it.

Yea, if it's a decent SSD it's unlikely to be an issue.

Yes, I'd bet on motherboard failure a lot more than CPU failure. CPU failures are very rare and PSU/motherboard/RAM/GPU failures are so common.
