PSU Noise

[Smmded]

A few months ago, my FSP AX500 PSU started making a noise sounding like a coil whine. I thought nothing of it and left it alone. But then, yesterday the noise got louder. This a really good 15 year old PSU, but should that be a concern?

 

Btw, it has been siting in my dad's old build for years, and when I got a shitty prebuilt, I started using it, then I built a new pc with the PSU.

If it is 15 years old, then you may want to replace it. It probably has come to the end of it's long life.

That power supply should have been replaced 10 years ago. Buy a new power supply.
