Question PSU makes rattling sound, turning it sideways makes the sound disappear ?

Hello,

as title says.

The noise is pretty much constant, started yesterday then stopped for couple of hours, now its back again.

Is it safe to use the computer for now?
Do i need new PSU?

Thats the fan, possibly hitting the PSU's housing, or not being mounted properly.
Either take it to the place you bought it from and tell them to fix it, if you dont want to void yohr warranty. Or, if you dont care about warranty, open it up and check to see if its mounted properly.

Thanks a lot, unfortunately it won't be possible until next week, is it safe to use till then?

Yes, its safe, its just the fan hitting something, as long as the fan is working it is safe. Nothing in the PSU itself is damaged.

If you start experiencing any more problems, dont use your PC until you get ur PSU fixed, but as long as the fan is spinning and everything is working normally, ur safe.

It's still under warranty. You have to RMA it.
