I had this computer for over 2 years now and it hasn’t been an issue until now..

It creates loud buzzing noises while playing a good 60 FPS normal game and I am sure this video may give you some idea of what is happening here in this situation = https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sJ3yXpY5yoc

Specs:

CPU - i7 6700
PSU - THERMALTAKE 600W
GPU - MSI GTX 960 2GB
RAM - 16GB DDR4

Thank you?!

Well, According to this:

That PSU is in Tier 7, the worst. Considering that and the fact that it is 2 years old, I strongly recommend that you replace it ASAP, just for safety sake! Try to pick a 5-600 watt unit from tiers 1 or 2 (certainly no lower than 3).
You would be surprised at how many problems go away once you have a decent PSU!

The PSU is the heart of your system, without it NOTHING works! It is the only component that, if it fails, can destroy ALL of your other components! Never "cheap out" on the PSU, it is false economy.


What EXACT Thermaltake PSU do you have?
