ThermalTake 600w Making Grinding Noise at random intervals

[TheRussianRat]

I have a theemaltake 600w series making erratic random grinding noises especially while gaming, Just happened recently for no apparent reason

Very few Thermaltake PSU models are good quality, they generally use low end OEM builds for their PSUs. Without hearing the noise myself I'd say toss it. Most likely at a minimum its the bearings in the fan failing.

Could I be able to rma it? Or would they not accept it.

How new is it, its still under warranty?

If its under warranty I don't see why not, they should repair or replace it.

If it was a bad bearing wouldn't it always be grinding instead of an on and off problem.

Bearing will grind at high rpms. So fan spins more, grind sound is loud.

Either way, no matter the problem, if its under warranty they will fix or replace it, so who cares.
