Hi, I was wondering whether or not I should still try to return my PSU from my new rig.

At first it worked fine for maybe 2 months. Then, it began to have issues turning on. When the power button was pressed, nothing would happen at all. The only way to get the computer to turn on was to let it sit completely off (I.e. PSU unplugged from wall) for 2+ hours. Additionally, while plugged in, the PSU made a high pitched buzzing noise.

I installed my hard drive (I had been running via SSD) about 2 weeks ago. After leaving the computer on for about a week straight, I finally turned it off and then tried turning it back on w/o doing the whole "unplug from wall" deal. It worked fine, and now, for the past week, has been turning on and off without a problem.

My question is, should I play it safe and still return the PSU in case it breaks again after warranty? Or do you believe I am good to go? Thank you very much.

Definitely return it within the warranty period. Better to be safe than sorry, in case it fries your system after the warranty time is up!
