1200w Power Supply click noise

[sergen213]

Hello everyone,

I have a Xigmatek 1200w 80+ platinum psu. My problem persists since 2018, when I flip the switch on the psu and try to turn my pc on, It makes a click noise and nothing happens. I know most of you gonna say psu is dead but here is the catch I sent it twice to service center and turns out it is fine. I've even tested on site it was working fine. I searched most of the other forums and they usually say if motherboard fits fine in the case ? Well psu is working fine if I don't turn the switch off or wait like 15 minutes after turning the switch on. It is kinda weird. Does anyone have any knowlesge about this issue ?

 

Thank you

After switching the power supply off, press the computer button for a bit. Switch the PSU back on and see if it starts right up.

Try not turning the PSU switch off in the first place, or waiting a while after turning it on before powering the PC up.

I assume the PSU is fully modular? Can you try to move the CPU power cable to a different connection?

I'm scared to turn off my PC. I was using it as you say until it didnt turn on even if I left the power switch on. I'm in Canada right now. I bought it while I'm in Turkey. Is there some repair services only for power supplies ? Because google didnt help me

Power supplies don't typically get "repaired".

 

The PSU isn't really meant to be flipped off and on from the back to begin with.  I'm sure there's a reason why you're doing that, but it's probably best you just leave it on and only shut down from windows.

 

The behavior you describe sounds more like a compatibility issues of the PG signal between the motherboard and the PSU.

 

Did it ever work properly?

 

Have you ever updated the BIOS on the motherboard?

It usually works fine I even overclock my CPU and GPU but when I turn it off. I have to wait like 15 minutes. I always use the latest BIOS. This was happening with all of the BIOS ı used. I always turn it off from Windows and then from the switch. I always scared that one day there will be a surge and my PSU will die on me that's why I always keep it off when I'm not using it. I'm probably gonna get a new one.

Are surges frequent on your power? A decent surge protector should give you piece of mind. Going further, you can always look into a UPS with conditioning to keep that power clean as well as provide all the surge protection you want.
