Just wanting the community advice really.

I bought a Corsair HX650 just overa month ago and its been working fine until this last week.

Now the rig's perfectly stable, not had any issues at all and ive had it stressed under prime and IBT.

But this last week about 50% of the time when ive gone to turn the PSU on theres been 1 loud click like electiricty arcing between 2 points when ive flicked the switch.

It powers up fine and no addiotnal sounds, its just sometimes when i flick the psu switch theres a 1 sparking sound and its fine.
It suggests almost sounds like theres a power buildup and flicking the switch releases it

Any thoughts?
 
Does not sound good!!!
IMO ...I'd whip it out and RMA it ASAP. If you got it from OcUK?, at least they'ed test it for you and you'll get peace of mind that it's ok.
post in the OcUk Customer Services, might be worth using as your first port of call?
