Pop sound from psu
Pop sound from psu
hello,
psu: Cooler Master - 80 plus standard 230V - mwe white 550
during troubleshooting RAM issues, I attempted to drain residual power by pressing and holding the power button for around 20 seconds. After that, when I pressed the on switch of the PSU, I heard a pop, likely from the PSU itself. I checked the case and PSU thoroughly but didn’t detect any unusual smells. The computer started working normally, and after several restarts, no further problems appeared. Should I worry about potential damage to other components? Would it be wise to have it inspected urgently and consider replacing the PSU?
thank you!!
well i got it 2 years ago, brand new. i just turned it off for a few minutes and restarted it, but i'm still not seeing any signs of trouble. do you think in the worst case, a different component could be damaged?
It seems like you're asking about potential worst-case situations. Could you clarify what you mean by that?
My PSU makes a clicking sound each time I turn it on. I noticed it too.
