Hey all, Thanks for the help, Basically my PSU is too noisy. But the strange part is, I have tried another, brand new one, and it is also too noisy. It starts off quiet then gets louder and louder, and is still noticeable even at idle.
The very strange part is after being sure that the overheating was because of the air in the case, I bought a case fan - no change. So today I had the idea of putting the psu outside the case just to be sure it was the air and not the psu's working too hard.
Well it was still overheating. Both of them, outside the case..
So the PSU's are working too hard, right?
The strangest part is it never use to do this, and my pc is not high demand power wise.
(amd phenom ii x4 955 3.2, HD 5770, 4gb ram, dvd drive, hard drive, tv tuner, M4A785TD-V EVO MOBO)
According to psu calculator I need about 380W, I have been using 500W and a 480W (the 500w is the OCZ stealthxtreme, the other is pretty poor, x-power GTX light)
I only recently installed the tv tuner, and its happened since then pretty much, but with it out , and even using onboard GFX card, same problem...
When installing the tv tuner, I forgot to screw it in and dislodged it whilst pc was on, pc hung, but rebooted fine.. did I break something?
What would cause this to suddenly happen?
Thank you
