Hi, I bought a corsair Psu 850 watt around Christmas for my new build. I recently got a new graphics card (Evga gtx 960 ssc) and whenever I run games under full load I hear a very fast clicking or ticking noise. Also when I pause the game the noise stops, and the clicking slows down if I run a game in 30 fps and speeds up at 60 fps. I know it's not the graphics card making this noise because I opened my case and found that the sound seems to be coming from the bottom of the Psu.

I7 4790k

Solution
Might be a relay you hear.You can contact Corsair and ask if it's a reason for rma.If the psu works well do you afaik have nothing to worry about,but you can ask their support.
