CS550M weird sound

[mkgrks]

I bought this PSU for my new PC and after one day of usage I realize that a weird sound was coming inside of it. It's like the fan is hitting something while spinning. I took a video so you can hear it and tell me what I have to do, to contact corsair, or test something.

Its a CS power supply.What you expect.

RMA?

[Hman1250]

RMA your PSU, complain or try to return it and get an EVGA, XFX, Seasonic, or Antec PSU. They're far more reliable and cheaper

[OAcesync]

Just RMA it

[manikyath]

that just sounds like a cheap fan sound to me...

 

all 3 of my yate loons make that exact same noise...

[Knaj]

Like everybody else has said, RMA it.

i dont hear any sound, i use CS550M never had issues lol

Sounds like the fan is hitting something. Or it could be an issue with the fan bearing. Flip the PSU upside down and see if there is something obstructing the fan blade area, like a wire. 

 

If that noise is not produced by any obvious physical means, then I'd recommend that you have it replaced. It's a brand new PSU, I am sure the store where you bought will have no problem swapping it for a new unit.

the cx and cs series power supplies are terrible i would return it and change it for an xfx or evga or seasonic power supply

RMA before it goes nuclear

Hahah thank you for your answers! I already contact the store and they told me to complete a form and send it back, but they also said that it's nothing to worry about. Well after all I read I think I'll pick another one. Any suggestions? I like it to be modular or semi-modular and really quiet!

EVGA G2 or GS series, XFX XTR series, pretty much anything from Seasonic, etc. Consult this list to check PSU quality, tiers one and two are really what you should be aiming for: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Thank you for your help. I think I'll go with the XFX XTR 550.  

Will it be possible with the RMA to change my PSU with this one and pay the extra cost?
