  1. The noise is not present anymore, regardless idle/load, I tried both CPU and GPU stress tests. Then again, the noise might still be there, it just simply shuts down before the noise would begin. I thought it was the PSU, I just wasn't sure, and I didn't want to follow my guess, I'd rather make it sure with someone who has experience.
  2. I could do that, but not for a few days as I'm busy and I'm not in reach of my PC, but I can reply here. Also, why would that be useful? The noisy fan bearing is not an issue anymore, or simply the PC shuts down before it would get a chance to be noisy, because in the last few days it took a few hours for the PC to get noisy. But as I was taking a closer look at the PSU the fan was spinning normally, wtihout any loud noise. My issue should be unrelated to my problem, but there it is: GA-78LMT-S2P rev. 5.x FX-6300 2x4 CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B Cooler Master N200 case Cooler Master Silent Pro 500w GTX 1050ti Deepcool gammaxx 200T cpu cooler The other fans in my PC case are the default that came with the case, I'm not sure what brand they are. I can't find out which fan is/was loud as it's not loud anymore (bearing gave up maybe) or it doesn't have the chance to be loud because the PC shuts down before it would get noisy. Again, I can't moniter the fans while one of them is loud, unfortunately.
  3. Hello, in the past month I had a loud fan bearing, it was pretty random when it would start and stop being loud, in the last few days the loud noise would only start few hours after I turn on the system (it doesn't make difference if the PC idles or being used on 90%) and would be noisy for ~6 hours but weirdly, sometimes it goes silent for a few minutes. Last night I was watching a movie, I could hear the fan switching from noisy to quiet quickly, like the bearing catches the right pace (or I don't know how to say it in english) so it would be quiet. Then after an hour of sweet silence the PC shut down. I couldn't turn it on right after it shut down, so I was kind of sure it was overheating, because it was the same behavior when my GPU overheated on demanding games. I waited some time and turned it on again, and after a few minutes it turned off again. I called it a day and finished the movie on my phone. This morning I turned my PC on, it was doing fine for 1-2 hours, the fan was not noisy at all, then the PC shut down again, right after I plugged my usb headset, for a moment I though it was short circuit, but it was just a weird timing, because when I turned the PC on again with only power connected, it turned off in a few minutes. In that 1-2 hours I downloaded hwmonitor, all the fans I could check were working, except for the GPU fan that would only start at 60°C, but that's normal. Temperatures were fine during the whole time. I couldn't see the PSU fan in the program, so I checked it myself, it was woking too. I don't know which fan was being loud, I suspect the PSU, but I can't know that, because there are many fans in the case. Also, I can't hear the bearing anymore, but I don't know if it's because the PC shut downs before it could start, or it's because the bearing gave up. I think the PSU is overheating, because I can't see its temperature while everything else in the PC was normal temperature-wise, but I'm not sure and I don't want to spend money on a better quality PSU just to have it turn out it wasn't the PSU which caused the problem. Some help/advice would be appreciated. edit: the problem was indeed the PSU, works fine since replacement
  4. Who told you it's 10 years old? In my country it was being sold even in 2014 (from webshop with warranty etc.). There's no need to be upset. I'd rather f up this system than buying a brand new quality PSU. This config is worthless there's not that much to lose, thanks for help and all, but I'm not gonna act like it's 100% that my PC will die in 1 minute (even if it was working more than fine for years) just because someone said so. I understand there's a risk but I won't by PSU because it would worth more than the other parts of my PC combined (if I'd choose to buy PSU instead of GPU) and also I couldn't use the PC at all without any GPU.
  5. Thanks for the quick answers, I'm not looking to buy a PSU right now cause I can't afford it. I think I'll buy a cheaper VGA then.
  6. I have an fx-6300 and I'm looking for an R9 380 (any of them with 4gb) and I wonder if my PSU will handle it. It's a Cooler Master Silent Pro M500 with Bronze certification. My system is like 2 years old now.
  7. I actually didn't know that. I was thinking efficiency would make that 500W become to 425W, good to know I was wrong because now I know my PSU should handle the config. Thanks for the help
  8. My PC Case has only 3 fans so yeah, you should be right. I'm just being unsure because even if my PSU specs say "85% efficiency usually" it's still only 80 plus, not even bronze, brings me a lot of insecurity.
  9. Thanks for the answer and sorry for the bad topic. Meanwhile I tried to do my own research on power consumption and I found out that cpu+vga would eat 360W max on high load, other components don't use more than 10W each, but all added up are close to the edge.
  10. FX-6300 with no OC DeepCool Gammaxx 200T 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) SEAGATE Desktop SSHD 1TB ST1000DX001 Cooler Master N200 case I'd like to buy an R9 280 or R9 280x, but I'm not sure if my PSU can handle it. My PSU is a Cooler Master Silent Pro 500w and by the numbers its efficiency is 85%. I read about similar configs with the same questions and I have mixed feelings, so I want to hear people's opinion about my config. I would be fine even if I had to underclock it a little bit (3-4% max) since I wanna protect the card from overheating anyways. (my previous r9 270x died of overheating with minimal OC) edit: I'm not looking for a specific r9 280/ r9 280x tho
