Question Power Supply making more noise than usual

[Jetrox]

Hello everyone, here is my specs :

Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 3600
Graphic Card : Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT PULSE
Cooler : Pure Rock Be Quiet
Motherboard : Asus TUF B450-Plus Gaming
RAM : DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX, 16 Go (2 x 8 Go), 3200 MHz
SSD : Crucial MX500, 500, SATA III
HDD : Seagate BarraCuda 1 TO
Power Supply : Corsair CV650, 650W

So there's the problem, since this morning i feel like my computer is way more noisy than before, the noise come from (i think) the power supply, my graphic card's fan wont run until 60°c so i dont thinks they are the problem.

Am I at risk if I continue to use my computer with this noise?

Someone on the french forum told me to post here, and to ask @jonnyguru for advices.


Thanks in advance !

I'm not JG, but I wouldn't be surprised if when he gets here, among the questions he asks is why you're pairing a high-power GPU with an entry-level PSU.

If it were me, and my PSU sounded different all of a sudden, and I couldn't determine why, I would consider replacing it...as something has changed...and nothing should be changing in a normally functioning PSU.

For instance....that noise could be coming from a component that is coming loose.

At the time i bought my computer, someone told me that this PSU would be enough for my specs, guess he was wrong

I can't really afford a new PSU for now, is that dangerous if i keep this one a little longer ?

650W is "enough", but wattage alone does not define a PSU's capability.

Is the noise constant? Does the pitch change? It happens all of the time? Is it just the PSU fan? i.e. Can you stop the fan with a q-tip or pencil eraser and the noise goes away?

Yeah, sounds like a fan to me, try ceasing it with smth (when the PC is off of course).

The noise is not constant, sometime i'll hear it for one or two hours and then he won't be here for a few hours, the pitch seems to always be the same.
