Hello.
As the title suggests I'm curios as to whether my PSU is dying.
This last week I've been smelling a stronger and stronger 'hot circuit' smell. (Although I've always smelt a faint hot smell)
As of today I was behind my computer whiles it was off and noticed a relatively loud buzzing and whining. When I switched the PSU off via the switch on the unit, the noises got higher and higher pitched until the sounds stopped.
Stability wise I've had no troubles except one odd occasion where my PC wouldn't shut down, just hung on a black screen.
One last note the fan on the PSU unit has always concerned me cause it madea generator like sound, should I RMA? the unit is under a year old.
Thanks.
