    What to do when you hear weird noises?

    It only happens when I clock my CPU higher.. seems like it requires more effort to draw energy and it's dying!? Could be a fan malfunctioning as I don't see the blue LEDs anymore..

    What is the +12V amperage rating?

    +12V@22A or +12V@28A?

    Sounds like time to upgrade Powersupply and CPU cooler
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    What weird noises? High-pitched whining sounds when under load? That's coil whine. Might not even be coming from the PSU, motherboards have been known to do it. Heck, if you put your ear to a Logitech MX518 it whines.

    Or something else? Clicking? Grinding? "Weird noises" isn't terribly informative, mate.

    When my first Seasonic S12 600W died it was making clicking or small popping sounds when it tried to start, and then it just stopped trying to start, is it a sound like that?

    Weird noises means you're extreme, right?
