mayhem1080 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I recently put together a gaming rig that has a brand new HX1000W purchased off newegg.com about 2 months ago. While I am in Windows there is a faint noise coming from the PSU that occasionally makes a clicking sound. The real problems begin when I boot up any game (Crysis, WoW, COD4 and COD5, Left for Dead, etc..) and the PSU's noise kicks into high gear. This noise sounds like a high pitched grinding or electrical whine. After trying to just flat out ignore the noise with my headphones on while gaming, it has gotten worse over the past few weeks. About 1 week ago I decided to borrow a PSU from a friend's gaming rig and the problem completely went away. Is there anything I can do to fix this strange noise on my HX1000W? Thanks, -Kris *edit: the actual model on the top of the unit says: CMPSU-1000HX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mayhem1080 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Do I need to send the unit with all cables it originally came with? I would rather leave the cables that zip tied to the case and just unhook the modular unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Only the PSU itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
