Strange sound coming from the power supply

xxlegc2212xx · Oct 7, 2018

Almost 4 months ago I bought a PC, and I included the EVGA 750 BQ 750W 80 Plus Bronce as power supply. The thing is that I've notice that a strange sound, similar to a mini vaccum, is coming from the power supply, . It's constant and quite annoying.
Is this normal on this model of power supplies or it's just a factory error? Can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!!

BQ series are known to make some noise after a few months , but usually a ticking type sound. Not a fan of the BQ series.

So, should I change the PSU or I process gurantee?

Sorry for the vote, I got mistaken xD

Not worried about the down vote , means nothing. You could try a replacement by way of RMA first . I personally would invest in a quieter model.

Perfect, I'll opt for a quieter option! If is not too much to ask, what model would you pick for a I7 8700k and a GTX 1080?

Thanks!!
