Question PSU buzzes for 5 minutes after turning it off and removing it's power cable ?

[MFaze]

PSU: Cooler Master MWE Bronze 750 V3 230V

My motherboard was damaged because I accidentally installed my SSD while my PC was still on.
I wanted to test the motherboard with separate components so I switched out my platinum PSU to the MWE bronze PSU and also switched my CPU.

After testing, I realised that the motherboard had damaged my 2nd CPU during testing. Now I'm afraid that it might have damaged my MWE bronze PSU too.

Before, I never really noticed any kind of buzzing when entering bios, but after testing it with my damaged motherboard, I noticed that even without turning on my 2nd motherboard its still buzzing. After turning off the switch on the PSU, removing every PSU cable from the GPU and motherboard, removing the power cable from the PSU and power socket, it was still buzzing for 5 minutes before slowly dying down.

From my understanding, coil whine only happens under load or when the computer is on, but my MWE bronze PSU buzzes after removing any kind of power source.

Is this normal or should I buy a new PSU?

Update
current system spec in picture:

PSU : MWE Bronze 750 V3 230V
Motherboard: B450I GAMING PLUS MAX WIFI
CPU : Ryzen 5 3600
Storage: no SSD or HDD
RAM: no ram
OS: no OS

Not normal.

The buzzing might be being caused by a capacitor slowly discharging and thus ends once the capacitor has drained.

More needs to be known.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

= = = =

Nor cam I rule out power reaching your system via some other path that does not include the PSU's power cord.

Other connected devices? If so how are those devices connected and what are their respective power sources?

Are you using any power strips or surge protectors?

Updated my post with my specs in the picture.

There's no other connected devices,

The power extension that I used to connect my PSU's power cord does have surge protector

So if the PSU is not connected to any system component and plugged into an electrical outlet, the PSU buzzes
and continues to buzz when unplugged from the electrical outlet - correct?

Simply need to confirm that there is no other source or path for power being able to reach the PSU.

If that is indeed the case then the buzzing is some internal PSU component being powered by one of the PSU's capacitors.

Until the capacitor is discharged.

PSUs are not repairable and attempting to do so can result in personal injury. Capacitors can cause very nasty shocks.

Do not even open up the PSU.

As for other system components they would need to be individually tested. However, if the component is damaged in some manner then that component may cause damage to the test environment.

Seems to be what is happening with respect to second CPU and second motherboard....

Unfortunately the consequences of working on a powered system rarely end well.

PSU : MWE Bronze 750 V3 230V

This is the worst ATX3.0 unit. Very low quality and CM saved a lot on the input to make it 230v only. You get what you pay for.

What's your GPU?

Yup, PSU continues to buzz even after I've unplugged it from the electrical outlet.

I already contacted Cooler Master's consumer care via email and they said I should contact the vendor to ask about warranty service as it could be a faulty PSU.

I was planning to use a Palit 2060 Super.

Every other shop was selling the 230v version of the PSU, and even the MWE Bronze V2 230v in Malaysia. I cannot find a normal MWE bronze V3, some shops advertise normal ones but if i look at the buyer reviews, all the picture were of the 230v version of it.

What PSU do you recommend? I bought the PSU for the 750W so that i can upgrade my 2nd PC with a 6700 XT GPU in the future, is the MWE Gold V2 650w good enough? After i get the new bronze PSU from warranty i can just sell it.
