MY Hiper has been running great for the past 6 months but recently, when then the hot weather hit, it has started to make some kind of "ticking noises". I've uploaded it for you to see. click

EDIT: Oh! And now something else has gone wrong, the smaller fan at the back has started to spin REALLY slow and the sound has changed to this

(You'll need to turn up the volume a bit)

What the hell is going on?

That sounds like a crane driving along :eek:
 
Turn your PC off, had both my Hipers die this way.

Why I do not rate them, unreliable junk compared to the other brands I have used.

Get a RMA in as soon as possible, don't run any load, then avoid using the PC with the PSU. Its on its deathbed.

Alright. It feels a bit hot when I touch the fan grill at the back, I hope it doesnt overheat. If that PSU blows, would it take the rest of the stuff with it? I am going on holiday this saturday for 3 weeks and I am planning to RMA it after that.

Thanks
 
It probably would not as they have protection circuits, but sometimes they fail and all hell breaks lose inside your ickle delecate components.

I would try and get it sorted as soon as possible, it may take time for it to be tested and then you can pick it up from the curior when you get back, or tell OcUK not to send it back until the time when your back. :)
 
Ahh :D Don't think I worried about that as it was a Work PC :)

In that case, only thing to do is RMA it :)
