Hello!
I have a Seasonic Focus GX 80+ Gold 650W that I bought in December 2020. It has been fine until about January - February when it started making some buzzing sounds. It's worse under load, as I can sometimes hear it though the headphones. If the load isn't high, then I have to get close to it to be able to hear it.
I haven't had much time to test around until this month. I've cleaned the entire case, reseated the PSU, recabled everything and yet the noise persists.
I sent the PSU to the seller twice, under warranty, but they said they couldn't find anything wrong with it so they sent it back both times. All of my interactions with them this year proved that they are trained very poorly though, so I have doubts they tested it under any kind of load or even connected to any other components for that matter.
I don't know if there's any way of checking the PSU's temperature, but the rest of the components are working within normal ranges.
Another thing I've thought about was interference in the apartment's circuit, but I don't really know how to check for that either.
As far as I know, this apartment only has one grounded outlet and it's in the kitchen. I've tried plugging the PC in an extension cord which says it's grounded (not sure if this is possible, since the outlet isn't, but it was worth a shot) and the same thing is happening.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X,
GPU: Asus RTX 3060Ti Dual O8C,
RAM: 16GB DDR4 HyperX Predator (2x8GB),
Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DSH3
PSU: Seasonic Focus-GX 80+ Gold 650W,
SSD M.2: ADATA XPG Gammix S11 Pro 256GB
SSD SATA: ADATA Ultimate SU650 480GB,
Case: Deepcool Macube 310P
I'm sure it's the PSU because the noise doesn't get any louder as I open the case's side panel. The PSU is separated from the other components and its intake is at the bottom of the case.
Here is a recording I made while under load: https://streamable.com/acoq4c
Any thoughts on what it could be and how I could fix it?
