PSU problem

s7cn · 10 Oct 2011 at 11:32

Sending mine off today!

My OCZ psu is the same as well. Will give Overclockers a call in the morning. Must be a bad batch.....

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?

DarkXavier · 10 Oct 2011 at 22:02

I had a PNY 560Ti 1gb, had no psu problems. Sent that back last week, and have been using my old 8800GT while I was waiting for the MSI 2gb 560Ti. No problems while using the 8800GT either.

Just spoke to the guys at OCUK. They said the best thing to do is to return the power supply and go for something else. Corsair was recommended.

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

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

Fingers crossed this one's fine.

Report back when it arrives.

dansew123 · 12 Oct 2011 at 12:00

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

Another OCZ?

dansew123 · 12 Oct 2011 at 13:24

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

DarkXavier · 12 Oct 2011 at 13:39

Cool I will try a replacement OCZ as well then.

Kingy1968 · 13 Oct 2011 at 20:36

Ahhhhh. Takes me back to the good old days when that was the noise your heard down the phone line when using a 9600 baud modem......

DarkXavier · 17 Oct 2011 at 15:12

Well I received my replacement OCZ PSU today. Still making the same noise! Arghh!!

dansew123 · 17 Oct 2011 at 15:18

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

Hi peeps
wanted to add I bought one of these OCZ ZX Series 1250W and man it squeels under load, even with earphones in i can still hear it. It is awfull

Spoke to OCuk and they said to send it back for a replacement but it is going to be the same also that adds another £10 to MY costs and if i get another one that is faulty it will cost yet ANOTHER £10 to my order etc etc the snowball effect continues.

Nightglow · 10 Nov 2011 at 09:04

Contact 5UB through Trust, explain your problem, I'm sure he can solve the problem more directly.

therutz · 10 Nov 2011 at 09:11

how can i get in touch with 5UB >?<
I have no other psu to use whilest this one gets sent back so will have to purchas one to replace with really or im withought a machine for a few days etc.

Also spent hours yesterday cable managment etc in my HAF X case so all that has to be redone LOL not funny but id cry if i did not laugh.

Matching coil resonance with your graphics card, if you get it twice in a row you probably be better off picking a different model/make of PSU.

It not really a fault unless the coils are wound lose, just bad luck.

Your coils love each other and are communicating. :>
