Question My PSU is making a buzzing sound and vibrating slightly ?

[Lirou]

I think the fan might have an issue. Does anyone know if this is harmful or if there’s something I should do? It’s only two months old, and it’s an MSI MAG A850GL. Attached are two videos: one of the noise from the fan and another showing how it’s spinning.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the PSU powering? Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
Chassis:
BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Upon looking at the videos, that PSU does not sound nor look normal, I would contact your seller and MSI and initiated an RMA asap.

After the power supply started making this noise, I used WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner, and it stopped making the noise. Here's the video. Do you think there's a risk of the noise coming back?

And thank you.

"After the power supply started making this noise, I used WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner, and it stopped making the sound. Here's the video. Do you think there's a risk of the noise coming back?"
I would've disconnected the PSU from the build, then sent an email or made a phone call to initiate an RMA, it's possible that the PSU is faulty to begin with. Because you sprayed it with WD-40, it's highly possible that your seller and/or MSI will disregard your warranty/RMA claim since you tampered with the PSU, yes they can tear the PSU open and inspect for any residues(under a microscope).

You ask first, then go do, not the other way round.

"Depois que a fonte de alimentação começou a fazer esse barulho, usei o WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact Cleaner, e ele parou de fazer o barulho. Aqui está o vídeo. Você acha que há risco do barulho voltar?"
Eu teria desconectado a PSU da construção, então enviado um e-mail ou feito uma ligação para iniciar um RMA, é possível que a PSU esteja com defeito para começar. Como você a borrifou com WD-40, é altamente possível que seu vendedor e/ou MSI desconsiderem sua reivindicação de garantia/RMA, já que você mexeu na PSU, sim, eles podem abrir a PSU e inspecionar para quaisquer resíduos (sob um microscópio).

Primeiro você pergunta e depois faz, e não o contrário.

Não queria enviá-lo por RMA porque moro no Brasil e não acho que haja uma empresa responsável aqui. Estava fazendo alguns testes; meu PC está ligado há quase 50 horas para ver se a PSU desarmaria ou explodiria e, até agora, nada aconteceu. Mas tentarei abrir um RMA hoje ou comprarei outra PSU durante a Black Friday. Você já viu um problema como esse? Usei um sensor de temperatura e a temperatura estava boa, então acho que o problema é com o ventilador da PSU."

I didn't want to send it by RMA because I live in Brazil and I don't think there is a responsible company here. I was doing some tests; my PC has been on for almost 50 hours to see if the PSU would trip or explode and so far nothing has happened. But I will try to open an RMA today or buy another PSU during Black Friday. Have you ever seen a problem like this? I used a temperature sensor and the temperature was fine, so I think the problem is with the PSU fan."

Do you really want to risk your CPU, motherboard, GPU, disk drives, etc., if the PSU explodes? Not a good idea.

Vou trocar minha PSU no mês que vem. Você acha que uma Corsair RM850x ou RM850e seria uma boa opção?
