Hey everyone,
Thanks to the awesome members of this forum, I recently built my first PC about 2 months ago and thus far it has been running awesome. However, last night when I powered my PC off, I could hear a light buzzing sound coming frm the case. It seems the loudest near my Power Supply, so I think it might be that. If I turn the power off at the back, or unplug the PSU, it stops buzzing, but resumes as soon as I plug it back in.
I have an Antec TruPower 750 watt. I called their costumer support today and all they could tell me was to be careful using my PSU under heavy loads. Well, I use my PC for animating and video rendering (as well as some occasional gaming) so you can see why I didn't like this advice. Not to mention I built this PC specifically to handle more intense stuff like this. They also thought it might be the PSU's capacitor, but it looks ok to me when I inspected it.
This morning when I plugged my PSU back in, the buzzing sound stopped and I have not heard it so far today. So does that mean it really IS caused by heavy rendering? But if so, hw would I prevent this, as I need to be able to work. Is my PSU going bad? If anyone can give me any advice I'd appreciate it. If I didn't explain anything clear or you need more information just let me know, and I will certainly provide it.
My specs:
AsRock B75 Motherboard
Nivida GTX 560
Intel i5-3450 Processor
Antec 750W TruePower
Antec 300 Illusion Case
Thanks!
