This is a pretty new PSU and the previous one I had of the same model (which I RMAd because of this noise) also did it

View: https://youtube.com/shorts/2ciO4r2oLPM?si=Une4DZHI7LnPi9ck I’m at a loss for what this sound could actually be. It seems to be coming from my PSU, but I don’t know why it would be making this rattling sound. It’s not the fan, because it behaves in the way coil whine does where it depends...

Well, no, it’s not on purpose. I just posted the pictures asking if I needed to clean up the thermal paste on the side since it’s basically impossible on these 7000 series chips.

The other thing is it’s a newer PSU and I think they’re made to withstand transient spikes now

750w is definitely plenty for a 3070. The recommended was 650w which I used the whole time I had a 3070 as it was what came with my NZXT prebuilt (I know, prebuilts suck, yada yada— this was when you couldn’t acquire a 3070 at MSRP anywhere so a prebuilt was the only way I was getting one)

I’ve seen plenty of manufacturers have wattage tables where they say 750w is fine so I’m not worried at this point. If my PC starts crashing you have the honor of saying “I told you so.” I also used a tool by Corsair where they will recommend a PSU and it recommended 750watt PSUs for my...

I never compared them directly. I was saying I used a 3070 with 650 watts when people said I needed 750 and it was fine. Obviously I’m not a dumbass and know the 4080 is more powerful or else I wouldn’t have upgraded

I DMed him and he said this was exactly it lol

I just bought a 4080 Super and an RM750e PSU based on the 4080’s PSU requirement of 750w. However, now I am seeing people online say you should have at a BARE MINIMUM an 850w PSU for these components and a lot of people seem to strongly recommend 1000w. In a lot of threads people who used a...

Maybe the next time I repaste or swap my CPU cooler because I’m too lazy to clean it again. Right now it POSTs and I didn’t even think there was an issue until the guy commented. I even ran some benchmarks to make sure I pasted properly and nothing bad happened. I did set the CPU down on my...

I posted a thread asking if I needed to clean up the excess thermal paste around my 7800X3D, and someone said I should be more worried about the fact that it’s bent. These were the only pictures provided. Is there a bend noticeable in these pictures? View: https://imgur.com/a/bWThI67

I THINK I FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS. It might be the capacitor on my fan hub chirping. I unplugged the fan hub and it didn’t do it when I shut it down. I’ll have to test more tomorrow to know for sure. As for why it’s chirping like that when I shut the computer down, I don’t know. I’m no...

No, I have an air cooler. Just to make sure we’re on the same page since it’s faint in the video, it’s a little chirp sound that happens right before the PSU clicks. It kinda sounds like the chirp a smoke alarm makes when it’s low on batteries. I can’t quite tell where the sound is coming...

View: https://youtube.com/shorts/lBwodixn3H4?si=Aetrilf1kZRUjS1e Here’s a video of the sound I just took. It seems to happen right before the PSU cuts power. You’ll have to turn your volume up because I’m using a crappy iPhone mic. It happens right before the PSU clicks.

My computer seems to run fine, but when I shut it down, it lets out a small beep right before the PSU clicks and the whole things shuts off. I can’t remember when this started happening, but it’s at least since I upgraded my motherboard and CPU. I have a 7800X3D, an MSI B650-P WiFi, an RTX...
