PSU acting strange lately

[Areg51]

Hi guys, lately i have upgraded my PC i have switched from i3 7100 to i5 13600k, i also changed my motherboard and ram. After upgrading i decided to stress test the PC to see what the new upgrades are capable of, so i turned on cinabench and after like 5 minutes my PSU started making buzzing noises so i closed the test because i was afraid that my newly built PC would blow up. I also remember during that time a red light was on my motherboard. Lately when gaming i also noticed that the fans speed are getting ramped up quite high which was quite unusual.
Here's my full specs

i5 13600k
GTX 1660ti (asus)
Z-690-I motherboard
2x 8Gb Kingston Fury beast DDR5
2x SATA SSD
1x HDD
1x M.2 NvE
1x Optical drive
Thermaltake Smart RGB 600w power supply

I actually used the psu calculator and used these parameters i believe it was around 460w recommended so i guess everything should be okay on that part.

600w is not necessarily a lot, to be honest. The newer Intel chips are notoriously power hungry - I can see that yours tops out at 181W just by itself.

 

Any chance you can get a video of what the noise sounds like? If a PSU makes buzzing noises, it's either:

 

a) The fans, which can happen with older and cheaper PSUs (and, tbh, Thermaltake does not have a great rep), and just means the fans are worn out;

 

or b) Electrical coil whine, which makes a very high pitched electrical noise and is a big sign of trouble.

 

Can you download HWMonitor and see what happens when you do anything a bit more intensive?

FYI, I would recommend Corsair or Seasonic PSUs in the future. My trusty CX750M has lasted me 8+ years now.

This is a very bad unit to start with. It's Tier F for a reason.

wow, guess i have a very bad unit. I guess its the best to replace before something will die on my system.

Should i get something more like 800w? How can i know which one is enough?
