    Question How common is buzzing from a power supply, and is it harmful?

    I used to have an EVGA Supernova G2 650w power supply for my build, but it started buzzing and after a year and a half it went worse so I replaced it to be sure. I bought a Seasonic Focus 650fx 80+ gold power supply and everything was fine for about a week or 2 until it also started buzzing...

    Question looking for a new psu

    My current one has started making electrical crackling noises (or such) and I really don't want to risk killing other components. Current psu is an EVGA Supernova g2 650 80+gold, I guess I got really unlucky with it. I would get the same one again but its quite expensive. Any suggestions...

    Question stuck on safe mode sign in

    What a blithering idiot I am. So this started off with me wanting to go safe mode to delete a file, so I did what I remembered to go into safe mode, opened msconfig went to the “Boot” section and enabled safe mode. I expected to get right into safe mode, but It sent me to the sign in screen, and...

    best 120mm case fan?

    Looking for a good 120mm fan, that would be reasonably quiet with a good airflow. I also need 2 adapters to make 1 fan slot into 2, I don't know where to start with that one, thanks.

    Corsair logo keycap?

    Why is my 1070 way hotter than everybody else's?

    yeah, 2 intakes are in the front, but the exhaust fan is on top and non-operational is on the rear. I'll try increasing the speed of the intake fans. Gonna actually try right now how much i can feel them taking air in.

    Why is my 1070 way hotter than everybody else's?

    My case is a NZXT S340. i have 2 fans as intake and 1 as exhaust. all of those fans are Noctua NF-A14 PWM's. I have one fan that came with the case still inside the case but it's not spinning, because it was making weird noises and was very loud, i wouldn't have a connector to connect it to...

    PSU makes buzzing noise

    I got this PC about 2 months ago, and it didn't make a buzzing noise at first, but after 2 days of the PC being shutdown, restarted and used, it started the buzzing sound from the PSU. The buzzing sound does go away when you play a high end game that puts a load on the parts. After that it's...
