Last night I heard a few brief spurts of what you'd typically call "electical fizzling" noise. It was coming from the general direction of my base unit but there's also a multi-way trailing socket behind it. The noise stopped and hasn't re-occurred since but I didn't find any loose connections anywhere so I'm now wondering whether it was the PSU.
Is this likely to have come from the PSU? Would it be an early indication of failure? It's a Corsair HX620 which is getting on a bit. I'm wondering whether a precautionary replacement would be advisable and what people would recommend to replace it.
If I did leave it and it failed, what are the chances of it frying components in the process? I can deal with the inconvenience of a dead PSU but not having to fork out for a dead graphics card!
