weird electric zap or ticking sound coming from somewhere near psu area

JonayJohn · July 6

I've just recently built a pc, however upon playing games like BO6 or Rust, an electric ticking zap sound comes from the area where my psu is. Should I be worried about this?

No, you don't need to be. This is merely a noise issue that affected some early batches of the RMe 2025. It is covered in a Corsair article here:

The unit will be completely fine for your system otherwise, the clicking noise is covered under warranty and can be replaced if it is of convenience to you.
