Noises CoolerMaster 520w

Go to solution Solved by Juular,

No wonder, this thing is dead, it's almost 15 years old ...

Hi,

cpu: i5 4440

mobo: asus h81-plus

gpu: r9 280x

ram: 2x4gb ddr3 1600mhz

hdd: barracuda 500gb

psu: CoolerMaster 520w 80+

My psu start making “hiss” noises on pulpit and it’s getting louder under load, yesterday the computer has a problem starting and displays a message about overvoltages. Question is it enough to my specs or my psu just started dying and whether its use is still safe? I recorded the problem when i was playing csgo.

When in doubt- turn off the pc, unplug, and contact customer support. I'm not super sure but I'm fairly sure that it's just a crappy PSU- it'll probably die, but like I said contact customer support and give them the vid, turn off the pc and unplug, then ask us if customer support leaves you with any questions, that they can't answer. I'm not very experience in this area so this is all I can give you for now, besides looking for the exact model of the PSU and searching up problems with it while you wait for customer support. Also- do yourself a favor, please get a ssd. Please. :(

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.
