Posted January 24, 2016 Hello, Today I was running GFXBench and during the times that the GPU was at full usage, I noticed a high pitched noise coming from the power supply. Should I go and get a new PSU before this one blows up my whole computer? Specs: Intel Core i5 4460 MSI Nvidia GTX 970 Cosair CX600 Would a EVGA G2 550W be best for its price or is there another one which is cheaper and just as good?

Posted January 24, 2016 Yeah, CX power supplys are not great, I got lucky with mine, switch to the EVGA, it is most likely coil wine, but I'd switch to be on the safe side | CPU: AMD FX 8350 + H100i | GPU: AMD R9 290X + NZXT Kraken | RAM: HyperX Beast 2033 16GB | PSU: EVGA G2 | MOBO: ASRock 970M | | CASE: Corsair Carbide 88R |STORAGE: 1x WD Black | KEYBOARD: Corsair K70 | MOUSE: R.A.T 9 | SOMETIMES LOSING THE BATTLE, MEANS YOU CAN WIN THE WAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discovering Coil Wine. This is the bane of every high end pc because it can make or break many people's experience while gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 24, 2016 not sure if CX has the zero fan thing RM has, but if it does, check if your psu is getting hot. if thats the case, flip it fan side up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
