Buzzing/cracking sound from new PSU
Hi, this is not a brand new PSU (it's about 2 months old) but since I've turned on my new custom PC, and started converting some videos, it's making those irritating/buzzing sounds. Since some days ago, it's also making these noises when I do nothing with it, and it's far from being maxed out.
It's a Cooler Master B600, 600W PSU and I have no separate GPU, just the iGPU, SSD+HDD (WD green, power saving), 8gb RAM and i7 4790. That's all. While idle, it doesn't really go above 30-40W I think, and according to HWmonitor and adding power usage of HDD/SSD, even at rendering it doesn't go above 110W (I undervolted the CPU so the package uses 60-70W at full load rendering). Also shouldn't it report something about itself to HWmonitor? (my laptop PSU does).
But still it's making electrical buzzing sound and it's so loud and irritating that when I step in the room (about 3-4m far from PC), I hear it or even with headphones on! And it's "intelligent fan control" seems to be broken as it's on full all the time for no reason - it's blowing out very cool air-, does not change RPM (I hope at least it's not this loud normally), and it has the loudest fan in my build ( with 1 case fan turned off and stock intel fan on lowest settings at idle/net browsing/listening to music).
What can I do about it? I'm thinking about RMA but I don't know how long it takes and I don't know how's RMA working. So can you help me with ideas what to do, what's the problem and describing how long RMA process takes?
