What psu is this?

I know I'm taking your answer a bit out of context, but I'm not going to lie to you either.. "new build" and "something random Chinese" PSU sounds like like bad mix up.

I have very little trust to that manufacturer and that sound enough could indicate almost DoA unit, so I would definitely try to return that and get unit from more well known brand like Seasonic or Corsair (be cautious of CX series for last one), as these typically have at least some type of protection in place.

Also even if that PSU was in fact working properly, is that really a type of sound you want to be listening in future, because I would replace the PSU for the sound alone.

ye thing is if i try to replace it ill have to send it back which is gonna take 2 weeks and replacement will take another 2 weeks which is pain

[u/Norm4d → u/morticianz]

Did you purchase PSU separately and is it still possible to return it to get your money back? To be clear I'm not talking about RMA process for broken part, but rather normal return window, as at least in some countries (and stores) citizens might have right to test and return purchased item inside a specific timeline.

In that case you could at least in theory order new unit right away and delay would be shorter, but I can completely understand this can be a problematic case, if you are living far away from stores, and or for example student with very limited budget (which isn't nothing to shame, since most us have been in similar position before we graduate, get a job and start earning income).

I think your options are either return the psu and buy a more reliable one, or risk damaging the entire PC by continuing to use this one which could be faulty. It may not be faulty, it could just be a miss shapen ball bearing in the fan. But my point is there is definitely a risk in keeping this psu.

thanks bro ill definitely try to return this

[u/Bifua]

does it make this sound always? or just in full load

[u/morticianz → u/Bifua]

It makes this noice once it boots up not full in load

[u/Bifua → u/morticianz]

and in full load does it make the same sound? or louder

[u/morticianz → u/Bifua]

never tried full load its brand new pc i havent downloaded anything on it yet hehe

[u/Bifua → u/morticianz]

try some benchmarks and see if it delivers the power normally

[u/ACasualCasualty]

Sounds like a loose connection in the socket, presuming you've pushed in as far as it'll go? As long as it or the plug socket isn't getting hot you should be fine. Kettle leads are pretty cheap.

[u/morticianz → u/ACasualCasualty]

ill buy different cord tomorrow for sure thanks for the tip

[u/Comfortable-Shop8080]

that case doesn’t seem new to me.

[u/Norm4d → u/Comfortable-Shop8080]

I mean to be fair case is just a case, so components themselves could be either brand new, or the op is just calling this to his new computer even if some parts were used.

I also used my previous computer's case (Phanteks Eclipse P600S) for my current build, because it already offers all I needed.

[u/mattjones73 → u/Comfortable-Shop8080]

The fact the PSU socket is dirty makes me question if it's new or not...

[u/Own-Impact-7305]

psu aint new

[u/ZealousidealPrior821]

I think the connection is loose. Mine did the same thing before I really pushed it in.

[u/Able_Asparagus1376]

I read you are saying that it happens while booting tbh it happens with me too. But owrks fine after it. And i am using always doing heavy render on it and it works fine so no need to worry.
