Hello,3 months ago i bought a new prebuilt PC.Everything was fine until today when the PSU started making a weird buzzing noise.Is there any danger in this?
 
Solution
Depends on the model of the PSU (which one is it?). If it is a quality PSU, this is coil whine - nothing dangerous but unpleasant to hear. In crap PSUs, this can be many things, so swap immediately.

EDIT: It can also be a loud or bad quality fan in your PSU. Hard to tell precisely with all the components running.
