Question EVGA 1000 watts PSU clicks when my GPU spikes in power, should I be worried ?

[Blackdiamond1990]

Basically i have a Red Devil XTX GPU in system and due to amd drivers sometimes my gpu goes above its rated power draw, its scary because the psu makes a faint clicking sound when that happens.

My components are
ryzen 7700 cpu
2 hardrives one sata ssd 2 nvme drives and a bluray drive

I should have enough juice for all my stuff, technically my system is stable and when I close programs like games the psu ticks as power draw is reduced.

EVGA says it sounds weird but i dont wanna rma it cause other evga gold rated psu with same power draw also did the same clicking. all my cables are connected, nothing is loose.

Should i play it by ear or rma?

If you have already contacted EVGA they would provide the best answer.

Some units have internal relays that will make a clicking sound. Generally for inrush current though.

Its buzzing and humming you need to worry about. But give the PSU a dust down (don't let the fans spin while doing it) as it could be a cause.

Not sure I rate EVGA for PSUs, but if your lights and temps are fine, then it's minor.
