HX850W PSU - Periodic Clicking Noise


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I purchased the HX850W model PSU from Newegg.com in November of 2011.

 

In June of 2012, the PSU failed suddenly (simply refused to turn on after I came home from work one day) and to its credit did not damage any other system component.

 

I was issued RMA #4787108 on 6/26/12 and received a replacement unit shortly thereafter. This replacement unit, has developed an audible clicking noise over the past month that I believe is related to the PSU cooling fan - as it is not a constant noise and happens more often under load. I have disconnected all case fans and ran the computer for a few minutes case open, the sound is definitely coming from within the PSU enclosure.

 

I do not believe anything has fallen inside - the modular cables made for a quick swap with the original unit, only needed the 4 PSU mounting screws.

 

The case is a SilverStone Fortress FT02, which does have an atypical (vertical) PSU mount. This is the only variable that I have not tested, as currently I do not have a spare case.

 

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!
