good day peeps,

merry christmas pud .

i got a question. whenever my pc is loading sa startup and whenever i play heavy games, i hear clicking or ticking sounds from my psu. my psu is hec winpower 550 wala pa one year old.

at first i thought it was my hardisk. but when i opened the case, unya nag listen kog maayo, the sound was coming from my psu.

my specs:
core2duo e6300
msi p965neo-f
8800gts palit
hec winpower 550
seagate 160sata2
antec 900

all my parts are still new, and wala pa one year. unsa kaha cause ani? i noticed the sound mga one week ago when i played crysis.
im using an old UPS, could it be the UPS ang cause ani? i plan to try using an AVR instead of a UPS tonight to see if mawala ba ang ticking or clicking sound.

this ticking or clicking sound is the sound i hear when i press my power switch to turn on the pc. pero karon, i hear it na when i play heavy games and when the system is loading. duda jud nako ang UPS ang cause ani. pls give comments mga bro. thanks.

parehas ni sa problema ni EarlZ... pa-ilisi imong PSU... murag naay problema ang fan sa HEC 550watts...

Basin naa nay nasabod sa fans. Either a wire or some kind of plastic material.

if i'm not mistaken, twice na nagpareplace si Earlz sa iyang HEC 550watts tungod sa defective fan.

by the way bro, ang problem ba ni earlz sa iya psu is just a sound problem produced by the fan? or is it really a problem nga maka cause ug possible damage sa other hardware?

bitaw... for as long as dili ma-void ang warranty. kung di na gyud kaya... then mas maayo kung mapa-ilisan nimo.

i don't think nga maka-affect sa performance sa PSU ang problem... but dili man ta ganahan nga ang atong mapalit nga butang, has defect on it... di ba? so mao to iyang gipa-ilisan.
