Question PSU buzzing for 5 minutes after turning it off and removing the power cable from the PSU?

Bronze PSU: MWE Bronze 750 V3 230V

My motherboard was damaged because I accidentally inserted my SSD in while my PC was still on. Wanted to test the motherboard with separate components so I switched out my plat PSU to the 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 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 bronze PSU still buzzing after removing any kind of power source.

Is this normal or should I buy a new PSU?

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.

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?
