PSU problem

dansew123 · 5 Oct 2011 at 20:52

Installed my new graphics card and PSU today. MSI 570 & OCZ Z 850w.

Everything is fine untill the PSU is put under heavy load. As soon as you get past menus and into a game it starts making a really loud screeching/grinding noise.

Sounds like this

I'm guessing it's a fauly unit and it's got to go back. Thoughts?

Just run prime and there was no noise.

I'm guessing it GPU related then? The sound is definatley from the PSU though.

Just noticed that when scrolling up and down a web page it makes a slight noise too.

Is this likely to be caused my graphics card though?

If they test it will it be the same with their parts?

It'll have to go back if it's not something which I can stop.

It's not just a quiet whine, I can hear it over medium volume headphones!

Yes I have had to sent it back, it was unbearably loud.

Do you think it's a bad batch or a problem elsewhere?

^ I tried that with mine. Didn't work unfortunatley

I'll let you know what they say when they recieve mine, they should have it on tuesday.

I hope it's a faulty unit

Let me know what they say. I've sent mine back this morning.

Doesn't look good though, 3 with problems and counting.

What card did you have before your 560ti?

Ok thanks for that. I'd best get another ordered then.

dansew123 · 11 Oct 2011 at 15:21

Just to update this. Mine has been tested and they're sending me a replacement out.

Fingers crossed this one's fine.

dansew123 · 12 Oct 2011 at 12:00

New PSU arrived. No problem at all with this one so far

dansew123 · 12 Oct 2011 at 13:24

Yes. Exactly the same. Working fine, absolutley silent.

Damn that's not good. I wouldn't be happy at all.
