Hello,
About 3 months ago i built the following PC:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS5X Performa
Operating System: Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard: Gigabyte H87M-HD3
RAM: 16GB DDR3 1333mhz (2x8GB)
Graphics card: Zotac GTX 770 AMP! 2GB
Case: Zalman Z11
PSU: 650W Corsair VS
Recently, and more frequently, after using the PC, lets say for about 9 hours, the PSU will create a buzzing noise louder than the fans that are in the PC. I am more than certain that these are the capacitors, as i have read around to find that this PSU is for low stress/budget builds, whereas my components are a bit past that.
This doesn't occur during gaming, but only after long uses, and disappears if i turn off the PC for a little while.
I feel that it will most likely need replacing, however, if you believe that it is something which does need replacing, could you reference a PSU suitable for my build?
I'll be thankful for any help.
