Engine noise
By: RutgerB Rank: Starfleet Lieutenant, Junior Grade Postings: 9 From: n/a	Posted: Mi Feb 04, 2009 - 12:13 I have an M3-ATX power supply in my car. In my audio I can hear the engine whine. How do I fix this? I searched the forum and obliviously I connected the power supplies - to the car chassis.

The noise I hear is sounds like it is coming from the engine, as the pitch increases as the engine RPM increases. Such an adapter sounds good, though I thought the power input to my M3-ATX has to be filtered? I actually thought the M3-ATX itself would filter this out.
