      Nope, rated as Tier C • Recommended for cheap mid/low-end systems

      The NZXT PSU while not my choice will do the job.

            Only the below are worth considering;

            NZXT C550 Bronze
            SEASONIC - S12III

            Don`t waste cash on the Seasonic if it costs a lot more than the NZXT.

                  hello sir, sorry for troubling you again but I wanna add something, the ticking noises apparently only appear when my gpu card is on idle, when I load up a game and the gpu start working at 80% and the fan spinning the ticking noises is gone. Can you explain this? is it because the psu is working under low wottage? just want to be sure the issue is with my psu and not my graphics card too.
                  Thanks

                    I try to run some stress test on the graphics card and here are the result

                    at this point the ticking noises is stopped until the cards fan stop spinning

                      In the defence of Cooler master they do actually state the below here
                      The present PSU to be blunt is crap, can`t produce the claimed 500W, is not even Bronze efficiency rated and is mass produced in China where they make the best crap money can buy.

                      Regardless of whether or not it is the GPU you 200% need an appropriate PSU and if the GPU is grumbling it is most likely because the PSU is not providing enough clean and stable power.

                      From your OP;

                      Not sure how you can blame the GPU when the noise was present even before you had put the GPU in :unsure:

                      You have been advised and supporting evidence provided so we will go ahead and mark this thread as you obviously have not taken what has been advised onboard.
