Is this a normal PSU sound? MSI MPG A850GF Please help!!

[Dimens1on]

Hello, I’ve just bought a brand new MSI MPG A850GF PSU and it’s making a weird constant buzz at idle and under load all the time. Is this normal?

Connections are strong, cables aren’t loose, tried different electrical outlets - nothing helps…

Here’s the link to the video:

Thank you!

Hello

That link does not seem to be working on this end.. At any rate and new pc should not be making noise from the psu.

Ok , just so you know there’s a difference between the psu and the cooling fan as far as certain sounds go.. The fan sounds ok and typical under a load.

I didn’t hear much; I’ll have to wait until I get home with my headset. 40+ years of rock n roll have taken their toll.
If you have an inkling of doubt, the PSU is not the place to have doubts. Send it back.

Than you for your answer. Unfortunately, the fan in the video is at idle, there no load at all, just windows running.

Thank you for helping. Rock n roll makes us all pay the price

Sounds like the fan is hitting something. Can you see if the fan might be skimming something?

Everything looks clean inside. I tried to shake the PSU, thinking maybe something is stuck inside, but everything was tight…

If it worries you, send it back. If you get the same one and it sounds the same, then you’ll at least know that it’s normal for that model.

Could be fan vibration.
