They are indeed quite annoying but I'm glad that this doesn't pose a risk to the PC. Also, thanks for the explanation and fast reply!

Monitor is also plugged into the UPS. Sadly I cannot plug the AC or PC into a different outlet. Those 2 are the only ones available in my room. But I'm guessing from your reply that this isn't much of an issue for the PC?

I have an air conditioner that periodically makes a clicking noise that causes my monitor to lose its image for a second (this also causes the light in my room to flicker for a sec). I'm not concerned about my monitor as much as I am concerned about my PC. the PC seems to be utterly unaffected...

UPS was fully charged since it wasn't the first time I hooked it up

There seems to be a misunderstanding, perhaps I didn't convey my thoughts well. I didn't plug the socket half way in, that was to give you an understanding of what that noise sounds like. The UPS makes the same sound when it's power cable is not fully plugged in/loose. As I said in my post the...

When the electricity gets turned off (for whatever reason) the UPS's battery activates, but besides making the 'normal' beeping noise that signals that the battery is in use the UPS also makes this static-y noise. Try connecting a power cable to your PC except don't plug it in fully, you get...

I see, well I appreciate you taking your time to answer, perhaps you might be right about the UPS since it was less than 90 bucks. but either way it's staying lol

could that be an issue? although as much as I'm aware my PC draws less than that. would you say that this could damage the PC?

nope, just monitor and pc whenever the Airconditioner makes a clicking noise could you elaborate a bit more please

I've had this issue previously except I didn't have a UPS, but now I do and this still happens, albeit not as often. The monitor and PC are both connected directly to the ups. The UPS is connected directly to the wall. When the air conditioner makes a clicking noise the monitor goes blank for a...

so in the Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility, I can see that Turbo Boost Power Max and Turbo Boost Short Power Max are set to 288W while the reported maximum TDP is 125W. is this normal? Intel® Extreme Tuning Utility CPU-Z Max TDP

I have sorted out the case fans' speed and yeah I have to admit, hearing my own thoughts over the fans is a much better experience lol.

exactly, it's possible. I will most likely change my fan speed a bit (to run slower on idle.

well I mean today I installed 2 extra fans and while idle my GPU reached 23 degrees. the GPU fan is at 40% percent (1450rpm) the rest of the fans are at 75 percent (3 fans at 1300 rpm, 1 fan at 1600 rpm and another fan at 1900 rpm). to me it just makes sense

power settings are set to optimal. maybe the GPU is drawing that much power because the fans are constantly spinning?
