Hi,
I've been having a lot of issues recently regarding noise with my computer. I've traced it down to the power supply. The unit is not the best but far from tier 5 - its an EVGA W1 500W 80+. Its been making a beeping noise often, when starting applications like Chrome, although it is very low pitch. Put my ear next to the supply and its also been making a ticking noise. Now, should I send it back, get a refund, use that money and other money to buy a Corsair RM550 Modular power supply? I'm pretty sure power supplies should not be making ticking noises.
Cheers, qwertyK
