andrei8703 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hello Have a HX750 from 2013. I'm using my PC mainly for gaming. Usually I play hardware demanding games. Recently I started playing World of Warcraft, which is not very demanding. Problem is that I've started to hear a buzzing sound. Narrowed it down to the PSU. -when in desktop no buzzing -in wow buzzing -stress test gpu, no buzzing -stress test cpu, no buzzing I guess Wow uses very little of the gpu, so the psu fan stays at 33% or something like that, and it makes a buzz, that i can't stand. Is there any way to control the fan speed ? I have a Fractal Design R4 case, which makes things very silent, but I still hear the buzzing, and it's getting more annoying by the second. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondenath Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Does Hx have corsair link. If so try setting it up to . Are you sure the psu fan is making the noise. Check if the Furmark stress testing does the same. You cant judge by the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrei8703 Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thank you for your reply It does not have corsair link. My best guess is the psu. Furmark stress testing does not do the same, there is no noise when stress testing, nor when playing hardware demanding game. I'm guessing, the more power the Gpu demands, more stress is put on the psu. While playing World of Warcraft, the GPU doesn't demand that much power. Let's say Furmark is 100% on the GPU, so the PSU is at 100% also. Wow is 50% on GPU, so PSU is 50% also. That's when the sound comes. I don't know if it's from the fan or something else inside the PSU. Question is if I can control the fan, so I can rule that out too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
