Title explains it all. The buzzing started today when playing Warframe, and also on the main menu of Dying Light. Is this a sign of a failing power supply? If so, what are the odds of it failing? It's still under the 5 year warranty, should I RMA it or just buy a new one?

Thanks in advance :D

To the OP: If you have developed a buzzing from the PSU under higher loads, you really should RMA that unit--now. Depending on the specific way a particular power supply fails, you do run the risk of permanent damage to other system components when it eventually goes down on you.

I woud totally avoid Evga.
Since I've been running EVGA for many years, and have found them to be a solid performer for me (but I'm not a gamer in the least), your remark would be far more helpful if you provided context and evidence for for such a flat statement.

I have EVGA SuperNOVA G3 1000W Modular 80+ and even on Dying light at the main menu I have this humming sound …:(
