PSU Making Buzzing Sound In Games
So this has been happening for some time now. As soon as I open a game only certain games I think. My psu makes an odd buzzing sound then as soon as i alt tabbed out of the game it suddenly stops.. Im wondering if anyone can tell me what this is thanks! it isnt the speakers as i unplugged them to see and it still happened

I uploaded a video to youtube to show you the sound

What is the make/model of the PSU and how many Watts? What are your system specs? if it isn't fan noise or something hitting fan blades which is what it sorta sounds like, and it is the PSU, it doesn't sound healthy.



I was thinking that myself, sounds like a cable hitting the fan blades. I have had a PSU though that buzzed a bit, and It didn't last very long after it. Make sure you are not running the PSU at it's fullest, and when you buy a new one try to give it an extra 200 - 300w. This will help it to last longer and give you some future proofing.

Edit, I never noticed it was a 750W, damn that should be ample, maybe it's just seen it's days.

What is the make/model of the PSU and how many Watts? What are your system specs? if it isn't fan noise or something hitting fan blades which is what it sorta sounds like, and it is the PSU, it doesn't sound healthy.
