The PSU is the Seasonic S12 Bronze 620w. The fan has a ticking noise coming from it. I checked for things hitting the fan but I couldn't find anything. I have narrowed the problem down to two things.
1. One or more of the bearings in the fan is messed up.
2. It is trying to (undervolt?) the fan because it's not using a lot of power.
Background on the PC:
It has an i5 4670, PCE AMD 7850, 8gb of ram, and an ASRock H81M-HDS mobo. This system used to run on a crappy off-brand 500w psu. it would occasionally freeze and stall during gaming. (certain games that aren't necessarily heavy in power consumption.)
I upgraded to this PSU and it fixed that problem but now the new PSU has a ticking sound like I mentioned above. Could someone tell me if #1 or #2 (above) is the problem?
