So I have a resolution to my issues (or at least a conclusion). I removed the Seasonic PSU from the case (still connected) and ran some benchmarks - still buzzing. I put the Corsair TX550m back in (both inside and outside the case) and.. buzzing. So it was always there from the GPU, but because the ...

I will test this weekend. I have been looking at PSUs and am considering a Seasonic SSR-550PX. What a coincidence. I just picked up this exact model today from my post office, but I'm still waiting for 3 final parts to arrive before I can finish my first PC that I'll be building myself. Hopefully i...

Anyway, I will sell the Corsair, and I thought with the 650PX - go big or go home. I've had PSU regret before, and my thinking is with the 650, the load on it will be low, and with the hybrid fan, it may not even need to turn on at all, or run at low speed <300w average loads. I had the same though...

Be sure to measure the load temps with the existing setup before you try a different config (like the Kraken)...and then, measure those, too. You have a number of possible configurations and you'll want to track more than "it sounds louder" in order to make incremental changes that help. Seasonic F...

It's hard for me to tell from the stock photos and case reviews...is the PSU really just stuck in the middle of the case or is the intake fan against the mesh side? If it's the former....wow, what a horrible design. With the current setup, what temps are you seeing at load for case ambient (mobo te...

Welcome to SPCR. It's not the quietest PSU out there, but it shouldn't sound like a jet engine. Here's a graph of fan rpm vs load @ TweakPC . It's either defective, running in the upper end of the load range, or the rest of your components are really quiet. :) I'd suggest returning it and getting a...

Hi, I've just built a PC for silent gaming, with Arctic F12 fans, Arctic Accelero Turbo ii GPU cooler, and at idle the PC is silent. Unfortunately, the Corsair TX550m (2016) Gold PSU I bought sounds like a jet engine after gaming for 10 minutes, despite the rest of the fans running cool and quiet. I...
