ugnius40 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Hi, I have GS600 PSU (2013), Which I bought in Currys/PC World UK, it was a couple of years ago, but I think I lost my receipt, I'd need advice - have I got any options to RMA it, but that's on a side. The main problem, it makes a strange constant (I mean - the time between two ticks is very constant, and the ticks close together) ticking noise. I thought it's one of my computer fans is catching a wire, it reminds me of a working motor or something. WoT Warning, but bear with me: Today I wanted to get to the bottom of this. I noticed: When my computer's just booted there's no clicking sound, the computer is near silent - PSU fan not spinning. When I put some load on it - open a couple of apps - PSU starts emitting this weird ticking noise - PSU fan is not spinning. When the load is higher (I start a game which uses GPU, or if I start CPU intensive task) - PSU fan kicks in intermittently - as soon as it starts to spin - ticking noise disappears. But I can hear the fan spinning up pretty loudly. soon after - the fan spins down, and again I can hear ticking noise. I've reassembled my computer in a new sound dampened case with silent fans - but this constant - spin up - spin down - ticking noise is overbearing and is getting on my nerves. TL-DR: PSU is in a cycle - Fan Spin Up/Spin Down/Ticking noise - when under load. Any advice what are my options, besides throwing this PSU out of the window? I'd like to RMA it, but I would be very lucky if I found my receipt for the purchase, and warranty did not yet end. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ugnius40 Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Update: I've found the receipt. It's dated 15/08/2013, and it looks like I just missed out on warranty, which supposed to be 3 years. Sod's law. I'm thinking of buying new unit now, something with at least 5 years warranty. I've found people on these forums, having similar problems with GS series PSU's. Something to do with faulty fan controller. Thanks for reading this. Hope I did not sound like a raving lunatic this time :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
