It's the mic from my cell phone and I turned up the record volume so the sound is more audible over the case fans, so it's probably a little sensitive. I recorded another one at default volume so you can hear the sound the PSU makes while the Superposition benchmark is loading and then actually kicks in at :04. The clicking sound is the HDD (couldn't unplug it because benchmarks are all installed there, sorry) the electrical/buzzing noise is the only one coming from the PSU. https://vocaroo.com/1eGxrEtMdcKI Is too loud something to be worried about? The noise doesn't really bother me, I just want to make sure the PSU's in good working order.

Really? I don't think the fan was spinning as I only ran the test for a minute to record the sound. I just did it again and actually checked and the fan wasn't moving at all and the sound was the same as far as I could tell, it's something buzzing inside the PSU. The case is an Eclipse P600s. edit: I tried it again and I do hear a click/pop sound coming from somewhere in the PC occasionally but I don't see the fan even trying to move on the PSU and it sounds more something settling in the case from temperature change. I just booted it up after being completely shut down for several hours. I'll try again later once it's been running for a while.

I built a new system a couple weeks ago and have been a little surprised by how loud the PSU buzzes while idling, to the point it's pretty audible when doing stuff behind the computer like unplugging things from my UPS. I wear headphones most of the time when I'm at my desk so I'm not fussed about the noise itself, but I thought maybe I should double check here and make sure it isn't anything I should be alarmed about. The back of the unit does get pretty warm/borderline hot to the touch after extended sessions under load, not enough to actually burn obviously, but I know these silent fan units can idle pretty high without the fans kicking on. For reference this system has a 10700k CPU running at stock clock, 3070, 16GB RAM, and five ~1.56W case fans so I'd think everything's well in line with the PSU's capabilities. Disregard the clicking sound, that would be my extremely loud Western Digital hard drive.

I'm putting together a new build soon and was planning to buy a 2x8 GB Vengeance LPX kit available from a local retailer. The plan is to pair with an ASUS ROG STRIX Z490-E motherboard. The kit seems to be listed on ASUS' QVL list. Searching the mobo on Corsair's memory finder page tells a different story, though. The only LPX kits I can find listed there are all 3000mhz or white/cool grey versions, not the default black I can pick up locally. The only 3200mhz LPX kit listed on the memory finder is this one here, which also seems to be on the mobo's QVL list but is marketed for Ryzen CPUs and isn't available locally. Can anyone confirm whether or not this RAM kit will function properly with XMP on the Z490-E? This will be the first build that I actually use XMP instead of just leaving the RAM at default values, so I'd like to make sure everything goes smoothly. Should I just buy a different kit online?
