Question Do pc power supply transformers create a magnetic field around them?

[reaper89971]

If the transformer does produce a magnetic field, How far out will it go usually?

I have a open frame power supply in close proximity to a graphics card.

I have not turned it on yet but wondering what would be the best way to block the magnetic field?

Or is the magnetic field contained within the transformer?

I could use this stuff

Or ferrite

The entire purpose of the transformer core is to keep the magnetic field confined to the inside of the coil windings rather than spread out. There is absolutely no need to be adding additional shielding. Why are you traveling down this rabbit hole?

Thanks for your reply
Just wanted to make sure that im not going to have anything malfunction or get damaged. I will get a picture of everything and you will understand my concern.

Your so called "concerns" are rapidly leading down the road to being labeled a "forum troll", along with the requisite penalties.

Forgive me... im not trying to break any rules or anything i just have this pc pretty cramped Let me get a photo uploaded and you will see what i mean.

The transformer is about an inch or so away from the card but it fits in there.

Perhaps if we were talking CAT scanners or Fusion Reactors, I might get worried about magnetic fields, but honestly, the mind boggles.......
