Weird PSU Buzzing noise

[novaldysama]

Hi guys, I have a problem with my power supply, I bought this on October 21, 2016 and have a 3 years warranty. But I have no Idea what happened to my PSU, the noise is not from the fan.
Q : What cause this noise and how to solve it?
Here's the footage

The noise could possibly be coming from the PSU's vibrations against the case, try unscrewing it and running the system with the PSU out of the case

Already did that but it seems not working

Could be a coil whine, but sounds like the fan is rubbing against something.

 

[novaldysama]

Yes, it sounds like fan is rubbing agaisnt something, but I tried to prevent the fan running and the sounds still there

If you hit the fan with a stick, is the noise still there?

I'm not brave enough to hit the psu with stick

I have the exact same issue, mine sounds more like a clicking-frying noise, like sparking but without any sparks. Noise comes and goes, if I restart my PC when the noise is gone it won't come again. I have been actually been rendering the past 15 hours without any noise coming from it. But, if I shutdown the PC and cold boot the noise comes for 5-10 minutes again and it will eventually go again if I dont stress the GPU. Weird things.. It is not the fan, it's either a transistor in my PSU or the big brown capacitor on the primary side of it. I will test it in another PC, as well as I will test another PSU in my PC to determine if there's another part in my system causing this noise. Finally formatting and replacing PSU my last options...

Am I have to claim warranty? Change the new one?

 

[Manos Liakos]

If you can do it, it is not normal in under any conditions. If you can claim your warranty, do it. If not replace it. It might not be that dangerous, but that's at least what I did. I am waiting for the new one tomorrow.

 

[novaldysama]

Is it dangerous if I keep using it for some times?

Is it dangerous if I keep using it for some times?

Yes, it is very dangerous, a new power supply that does not make any strange sounds has a chance of destroying every single part of your pc at any moment.
So something like this which really sounds like some electricity problem probably has a much higher change

What model is the PSU?

 

[novaldysama]

Gamemax PSU

Gamemax sounds awful. Never really heard of them, it's bound to be a cheap thing with pretty green colors and an overrated wattage just to sell units to people who have a "more watts for less money" mentality.

Hope that didn't come out harsh, it's just the reality of cheap PSUs like these.
