clifmo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I haven't completely narrowed it down to the PSU, but it certainly sounds like it's coming from that area. The sound is clearly audible when I open xSplit stream broadcaster. Not when I actually begin streaming and eating up clock cycles, but when the program is first opened. It sounds more like the sound a locking button makes when it pressed down and then pressed again to release, so two clicky press-depress sounds in quick succession. Kinda like what an old school turbo button would do... I thought at first it was the video card, as I only heard noises when running video-intensive software, but after googling and reading these forms I am beginning to lean toward the PSU. I really just want to know if it's safe, or anything to be worried about... I just put this rig together recently and don't want to overclock and add to the stock voltage on a faulty PSU.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 17, 2011 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 17, 2011 The noise would not indicate anything functionally wrong with the PSU and would not put you at any increases risk of failure. I would suggest trying some of the suggestions posted here, and if there is no improvement then we can try replacing the PSU for you.
