Do power supplies cause interference?

[grandmaster64]

I read somewhere that some of the internals in a powersupply can cause interference. Would that affect my pc internals like the motherboard or gpu or cpu?

If you're using a good power supply, it won't impact your components negatively.

When you mean a good power supply, do you mean a high rating? Like platinum 80 or titanium 80?

Those are efficiency ratings.

If the PSU is from a reputable vendor (one that doesn't typically con it's customers.  I can list a few) and the PSU has an "FCC" logo on it, then it has passed EMI testing.

Yes.  All Corsair PSUs pass FCC's EMI testing.

And as long as it passes the EMI test, it won't cause any interferences?

You may need to ask @Corsair Nick, Jon despite being head of Corsair PSU division may be not qualified to answer that question lol.

 

On a more serious note, why you're asking anyway ? There are some problems you're experiencing ?

When I say "reputable" I mean an established brand that's not going to put fake logos and certs on the label.

 

So Corsair, Antec, EVGA, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, would all be "reputable".

 

But in some "developing" regions, like parts of Asia, South America, etc., where there are no local safety certification requirements, there are "local brands" that will often put fake FCC and CE logos on their products.
