Krieg1337 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) It sounds kind of like a scraping noise or you know when a laptop is loading something really difficult(its kind of like that sound), not exactly sure where it is coming from but it goes away as soon as the load decreases. Might this be my PSU? It is pretty old now... Edited October 26, 2011 by Krieg1337 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieg1337 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Could be a choke that has started to go bad. Is that a concern ? Or will I be fine with that? I also increased the CPU PWM frequency so it could be that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjj226_Angel Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Is that a concern ? Or will I be fine with that? I also increased the CPU PWM frequency so it could be that? There is no way to be absolutely sure it is the PSU. What I would do is find a friend with a spare PSU, or maybe scavenge around for one. Turn on your computer, and if it doesn't make the sound, it is time for a new PSU. If it does make the sound, then unplug things one at a time until the sound goes away and replace that one thing. Some really basic trouble shooting can help us help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
