Okay, so I'd say about less than half a year ago I got a 500W evga PSU... I've always noticed how loud my PC was, but I just recently felt like doing something about it. It's 100% coming from the psu.. I have it in the case correctly, it's not fixable in the bios, and nvidia 3d settings aren't doing much either.
Now, it sounds like the things going into hyperdrive which is what confuses me the most. I have an Intel i5, 3.1 ghz, 8g ram, a GTX 730 (the 60 dollar kind lol) so it's not like it needs a lot of wattage to keep up (I bought the 500w with plans to get a better gpu, but money was stolen from me)
What might help is the mobo I'm using is pretty outdated. I honestly have no idea what type it is. The thing is still green and I have done as much research as possible on it, but nothing comes up.. it came with a prebuilt manufactured 5 yrs ago... Could it be the motherboard causing this? Or is the psu just crapped out from the start? I can answer any questions to help
