Solved Psu (I think) making ticking noises

Status
Not open for further replies.
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

:eek: Are you trying to blow up your computer !

The PSU should not be used anywhere near an add on GPU I`m afraid and so is the most likely cause, not even Bronze efficiency rated and so poor quality wise that it is rated as Tier E • Potentially dangerous in multiple scenarios here

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;

Before my pc get a new graphics card and run on a apu this ticking noise only happen shorty after booting then it went quite,

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.
