Hey,
I've a Corsair CX650M and I was having issues with my WIFI network for some months now, but I never realised that the issues came from the PSU causing interference with my wireless network. Honestly, I never suspected because the router is 50/55 cm away from the PSU (case is a NZXT S340).
Today, I was testing my PC with OCCT and found that everytime the PC is using more energy (stress testing, etc) the wifi performance is affected by interference. Another way to test this, is with my smartphone and google maps. If the smartphone is inside the 50cm range of the PSU, and the PC is running a stress test, then the smartphone loses GPS signal, or the signal becomes very weak.
Is this considered normal? Should the magnetic field created by the PSU cause interference at this distance, which in my opinion, is quite large?
Thanks.
