Buzzing Capacitor :c

[IRONBATMAN]

Hi,

recently, my PC has been emitting this weird buzzing noise. I've read up some articles and threads, and found out that it may be a bad capacitor or something. It gets a little bit louder while I run Crysis so I suspect that it could be a GPU cap or PSU cap. Crysis also lags when I hear the noise.

So is this really a case of bad caps ? Is there any way to fix it ? I thought my Gigabyte R9 270x and Seasonic S12ii 520 would last me longer than this :/

Any input would be appreciated,
Thanks

What is your PSU?

As stated in my post, it's the Seasonic S12ii 520w

You need to RMA the unit right away, Some caps can make noises during charge and discharge but it is pretty rare and only very high loads. The coils on the other hands make the buzzing sounds even at low loads but especially audible at high loads. To make things short coil squeal could also be the sign of a defective unit if it is having the squeal through out the day and very often. It can kill the unit if happens to short any where in the coils.

Just get a new PSU, SeaSonic always has problems like that, and I'd even switch to another brand
