My new psu (1month old), the CX450M just randomly started making a weird very loud sound. Sounded really bad. I was just playing some games, then closed the game to go on the internet when it randomly made this noise. I restarted my pc then after a couple more minutes the sound came back. What do i do now? Is it broken?IMG_3417.MOV

Your fan sounds like it went haywire. RMA to Corsair.

 

Also, for those afraid of downloading a .MOV file rather than an MP3 or the like, the file is safe.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Sounds like the fan is rubbing against something but definitely contact Corsair.

I know I probably shouldn't. But can anything go wrong if keep using my pc?

I wouldn't try to find out for myself, but I think it's just the fan. Make sure the thing is breathing well enough and don't stress your GPU and you'll probably be fine.
