What's Up With My Power Supply Making Noise?
Asked by

Hey everyone, I recently got a power supply for my PC about two or three weeks ago, and I've noticed it makes a buzzing sound when the power is off. The noise stops when I unplug it, and I've tried a few fixes like enabling the ERP setting, but the buzzing persists. I'm wondering if this is something serious and if it could harm my PC. Any ideas?

Is the noise more of a buzzing or crackling? Also, make sure your power supply can handle the maximum draw of all your components. I had a similar issue with mine, but it turned out it was fine as long as it could power everything without issues.

Yeah, I can relate! I also experience coil whine from my PSU and motherboard when the system is off. Seems like modern hardware just isn't built like it was back in the day. The ERP didn’t help me either, so I think it might just be a common trait now.
