I recently replaced my PC and installed a new case. Because my PSU has been running since 2013, I upgraded it to a newer model while doing so—choosing the RM750. When I power it up, it starts making a buzzing sound similar to a case or CPU fan for about two minutes before stopping. The noise is still present but much quieter (you might barely notice it if you're close). Under heavy loads it can stress the system, but idle it all day and nothing happens. Restarting doesn’t fix it. However, after about an hour of being off, it resumes when Windows loads again.

System specs: Ryzen 7 5800X (PBO & curve optimizer), RTX 3060 Ti (with +150 cores and +1100 memory), Noctua NH-L9A 4X, Corsair fan for exhaust, MSI B450 Tomahawk Max.

This problem existed before the overclocking too. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It seems the issue likely involves a faulty fan in the PSU. Consider returning the product for replacement and reinstalling the previous unit. Avoid trying repairs on your own—damaging internal components can be dangerous.

It sounds similar to coil whine. I’d consider swapping it out, as I’ve had the Rm750 for nearly two years without any issues. A replacement should definitely be quiet. The comment about a buzzing suggests it might be a fan-related problem, but either way, exchanging for another unit would fix it.

Felt worried about what might happen. I had already thrown away the box, so I’ll get a replacement tomorrow. Appreciate the update.

A 650W could work depending on your project needs, but check your power requirements and ensure it meets them.

The original packaging is required for a return. Warranty (RMA) processing does not need it.

Sure, 650w works well, though 750w offers more flexibility for future upgrades (especially with higher 3000 cards, which might not need 4000). Decision up to you.

You probably don’t need the box. I’ve sent multiple Seagate hard drives without the original wrapping, as long as the serial number remained on the product label. With Seagate they don’t mind, and if anyone cared about packaging, a disk maker would definitely prioritize it given how delicate these drives are.
