Noted, thanks! So far, the sounds hasn't really come back yet. Hoping it never does!

Update: After 5-6ish hours of use, the sound came back although a bit louder but less frequent. After digging around some other threads and forums, I decided to stop using the 3-to-2 prong adapter it had because I realized I could plug it in as is to my extension cord (pretty stupid of me that I...

Hello! A few hours after undervolting my PC, I started hearing this buzzing noise coming from my PC. It happened while I was gaming, and it was loud and frequent enough to make me worry. Other than that, there were no other ambnormalities (like sparks or performance issues). This PSU is rather...

I've had my new PSU (CX550M) for around 4-5 months now roughly, and I noticed that every so often there would be a very static-y electric buzz sound coming from it. I left it alone thinking it was coil whine, but recently I've noticed that whenever it's making that sound, my electric fan would...

Alright! Thanks again for the advice!

Thanks for the advice and PSU recommendations! As a final question, would it be damaging to my components if I used it under light load (e.g. just Web Browser and Discord/Zoom) because the earliest I might get a replacement PSU will be about in a week.

Alright, thanks for the advice! I'll try to see if

For reference, this is what it sounds like (apologies if the too low) View: https://youtu.be/PeiBjtFWI8s

It's a VTX Cougar 500w Bronze and I've had it for a year and 7-8 months. My build was originally integrated graphics only but in december I slotted in a 1650 in it. I didn't have enough money to buy a PSU so I decided to not replace it. Is this a sign for me to replace it now?

My PSU has this wierd buzzing sound after a few hrs of use. It's like a low, vibration-ish buzz that, at first, would go away after a minute or two, but now it's persistent. For now I've shutdown the PC and powered off the PSU. Should I replace it asap?

I've observed that whenever I open steam, task manager, games, webrowsers, etc. that my CPU usage spikes up to around 60-90% for a second or two then dies back down to normal usage. Particularly i've seen the antimalware service executable spike up in usage when this happens (but sometimes it...

Alright, I'll keep those models in mind when I have the money for the upgrade (having options and backups is always better), Ty for the heads up on the other models.

Aight thanks man! Hopefully by the time I save up some money those PSUs are still in stock.

Here are 2 of the links https://pcx.com.ph/product-category/components/power-supply/ https://pchubpricelist.online/ - (This one has a filter system which I can't really link a specific webpage to.) My budget in Pesos would ideally be P3,200-P5,000. Thanks again for the help!
