kobalt Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Fans make whirling sounds, high to very high pitch are the capacitors, sorry buddy your ps is going bye bye Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUMaestro Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I'd have to agree. When I first built my system I thought a good PSU didn't matter cause it was just power. But I recall that sound, it did it once and then it died... completely. Now it's on a shelf jealous of the working Antec True480.

aaronamd Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 yes but mine only does it sometimes, and when it does that it's only at startup, is their any danger to my system?( the power supplie is still working) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobalt Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 If it has surge and inrush protection you might be ok but i wouldn't trust a faulty PSU, your whole system might fry A cheap "good working one" is around $40 <_< >> Change it!!! << Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMB3017 Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Try uplugging the AC Cord and hitting the power button a bunch of times to discharge the capicators. Then plug it back in and see if it still does it. Perhaps it needed "recharged" more likely, its dying. Sorry man. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
airman Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 yeah...mine's been doing that for about 2 months now...it was a really high-pitched noise, and it goes off after i turn on the pc, and about 20 minutes into the os, it starts doing it again. my psu killed my mobo today...i'm really sad. get a new one asap!
