konnetikut Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hi, my HX520 developed a buzzing issue in the last few days. I've already checked by plugging directly into the wall, powering a single fan while shorting the atx connector, and momentarily stopping the fan inside to pinpoint the noise. Are there any other possible answers, or should I RMA with NCIX.com immediately? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteKiller Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Does the buzz disappear as the load on the psu increases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konnetikut Posted September 22, 2007 Author Share Posted September 22, 2007 actually...I think it sort of does. What does this mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 24, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 24, 2007 This is common with higher efficiency PSUs. They tend to do this when there is very little load on the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konnetikut Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Thanks, RAM GUY. So this probably won't be fixed with a replacement? The noise is just a bit annoying :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 25, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 25, 2007 How loud is the buzzing? How far away from the PSU in order to hear it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konnetikut Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well, when the rest of my system is so quiet, it's pretty distinct - from where I sit, which would be about 1m plus a desk wall in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 26, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 26, 2007 If you like, we can replace it for you, however I'm not sure that anything will change. Are you able to test on another machine that uses a little bit more power, to see if the buzzing is consistent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konnetikut Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 There was no buzzing in the first 2 weeks of usage, this problem is quite recent. No, I don't have another machine using more power. This is currently the most powerful computer in my house - the next one being a sempron :p: Thanks for your help - I've already arranged an RMA with NCIX because my motherboard needs to be replaced anyway. (might as well do both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
