since this is a PSU thread.. i want to ask a question my PSU is CORSAIR AX1200I owned it +- 1 year today i completed my build during setting up my pc(i mean installing driver and bla bla bla, i accidently touched my GPU heatsink and i feel electric shock. To confirm this i bought a test pen to check if the current is there. The buzzing sound from the PSU is loud and clear. I got 4 fan inside my case and still hear the buzzing of my PSU. some people say buzzing sound is normal, but the current leak is abnormal i think.. here some pic i took » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « need advice.. thanks

QUOTE(hmwgbworld @ Dec 17 2013, 09:31 PM) Current leak is indeed abnormal, strongly suggest u stop using that PSU now. It may further damage your other components with that current leakage throughout any metal contact. I suspect there's something went wrong with the grounding terminal inside the PSU or perhaps current portection/sensor spoiled. Small buzzing that happen occasionally is normal during low load, pc start up or shutdown. But loud is surely something wrong  . so RMAing back is the best choice eh?
